Not quite 40 something Dad, husband, artist, Technical Professional, Queer geek who also happens to sometimes thrive with Chronic Illness and NeuroDivergence. If that’s not to your taste, please choose kindness today. There is enough vitriol out there.

I just connected the dots. And I don’t know hot to feel about it.
I may have to decide between my gender marker on my ID or legal marriage to the love of my life.

Looking for suggestions - I’ve been out of the classical music world for a long time.
Looking for books to begin teaching musical theory and how to read music to children. I’m going to start teaching my daughter.

One of our littles had a birthday today, and asked for a watermelon cake. Well - I jumped in with both feet. First time I’ve tried #cakecarving and I am a very #amatuerbaker
This is only my 5th or 6th really successful cake or cupcake, and thank you to the amazing friend who helped with stripes.

Rewatching the #PiratesoftheCaribbean films. I always knew I recognized Bootstrap Bill, but I didn’t realize it was Zaddy #StellanSkaarsgard until rewatching it now many years later. I love how well made these films are. Good date night for us two old theater nerds.

Call with a prospective private school for my little in half an hour, trying not to overthink. Even here in Western Washington state we aren’t free from homo- and transphobia along with the resultant harassment.
No child should be “othered” by a teacher at school.

I’ve been thinking lately on what I’ve felt the last 5 years have robbed me of.
I’m realizing what a negative place that is to be in my heart. I’m trying to find kindness again, not just towards others but towards myself. True kindness while rare, is vital.
