I’m all for people doing absolutely whatever they want at karaoke…

But if you’re a straight dude and go to a gay bar where everyone is singing show tunes and you sing Riders on the Storm and during the 60 bar break shout “Fuck the Patriots,” and “Jim Morrison is a god,” you have missed the vibe.

Had a phenomenal meeting with a high ranking civil servant today. It’s so good to know that so many people tasked with defending our country are serious about their oaths to the Constitution.

I’m enjoying playing chess again, but I find that I only get matched against the same three people over and over. I always beat two of them and lose to the other. My current board position looks very good but also… weird?

If you want to know where I am emotionally these days, I can’t even read a skeet that talks about Blitzø and Stolas without crying.

OMFG, the Sinsmas episode of Helluva Boss just broke me. Like I cried for the solid 30 minutes. If you’re a gay parent, like … just make sure you have tissues before watching, ok?

it’s interesting that they’re trying to ban trans people from the military. from what i’ve heard they’re super soldiers who are too good at sports and athleticism

I don’t think there is a headline that has made me want to read an article more than this.

Orcas have begun wearing salmon hats again – and we may soon know why
About 40 years ago, researchers noticed a population of orcas had begun swimming around with dead fish on their heads, and now the craze is back

I feel like Bluesky is the right place for me to post about my team looking for a Rust dev.

I totally just got to see the hilarious scenario of my friend hitting in a soft butch lesbian that he thought was a twink.

Well, the makers of Spelling Bee clearly don’t watch enough Drag Race.

Deleted my account and the Twitter app. Looks like I might actually just transfer everything here.

Have you ever gotten drunk in a bar by yourself, and come the realization that pretty much everyone around you is straight and that’s fucking terrifying. Because that’s what’s happening right now.

It's wild how NFTs were these counterintuitive, transformative conceptual breakthroughs that dumbasses like me thought were self-evidently the stupidest scam in human history since the emperor's new clothes and guess how that all turned out

You *really* need to see the side-by-side comparison to fully appreciate the differences. Especially if you don't get why people are saying that the Kissinger statement is cold.

Based on the the ads I see, Facebook’s algorithm thinks that I:

1. Need more graphic T-Shirts (100% false)

2. Am suuuuper gay (like 75% true)

3. Want a capybara stuffed animal. (OMG 1000% YES!!!)

Happy Celebrate Bisexuality Day!

The idea that I could be actually happy and fulfilled as a bi man is something I’ve struggle with for decades. I’m hoping that I can be as visible and audible about my sexuality as possible, so that at least one person doesn’t go through what I did.

It’s the last weekend at Mobtown Ballroom, a place I think of as one of my homes. Closing because the landlord is a greedy psychopath. I will miss it probably more than any other place I’ve ever been.

So, I’ve had severe nose bleeds every day for the last 8 days. I can’t get an ENT appointment until October 5th. I hate everything.
