More tiger than your average bee. Lazy queerness, abortion activism, doula stuff, weird cooking, dress-up. Always, always, grounded in love.

Y'know what's cool? @lediva.bsky.social and I had a party 9 years ago today, and now I get to call this utterly fantastic woman my wife. Love you, kittygirl, song of my heart, you wacky middle-aged stoner. <3 <3 <3 always.

It's my wedding anniversary with Bard Bloom today. Google photos feeding me images of happier times. At a food festival at Citi Field in 2018. Miss you, best Dragon.

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

Pretty little kitties, loud as hell, and their multicolored whistle friends. If you (or a community you participate in) need some, let me know.

Bard never really cared much for celebrating their birthday, but I usually made them do it anyway. The summer birthday meant they grew up with friends being away, or on a trip themselves. I guess now they are on the ultimate trip. But milestones still stay on my mind. Miss you, love. Happy birthday.

Sponsor me in Sing for the Earth, a 24-hour community singing marathon through Gaia Collective, to raise funds for environmental justice. A buck or two (or more!) per hour I sing (likely between 3 and 12 hours) would make me so happy. go.dojiggy.io/5614ad/m/vic...

Sometimes my life just feels like a cycle of buying ingredients and then trying to cook them before they get too old and having too much food. I like having a well-stocked fridge/kitchen but hoarder tendencies plus perishable plus hating waste is a delicate balance.

On"merit-based" practices: 1) There are very few positions that require the absolute best person at executing the official tasks of the job. Being able to complete the job competently is fine.

Please come hear me with the Hudson Chorale on January 25th or 26th at 3 pm, in the lovely Maryknoll Chapel in Ossining. The program is a creative blending of the Latin Requiem Mass and Hindustani improvisational singing, followed by a collection of feel-good carols. Message me for tickets.

Not sure who is actually reading what I put here, but here's a big call to the Universe to send all the NYC/Westchester/Greenwich queer, trans, and/or poly pregnant people whose experiences I can make better my way in 2025.

A strange thought: I'm mostly aphantasic (do not experience images, sounds, etc. inside my mind). I know many people experience seeing departed loved ones when they are near death -- Bard had long conversations with their father. I wonder if I will be able to experience that, or if I'm wired wrong.

It is strange to realize, decades into a life that includes a variety of spiritual practices focused on visualization, that I have very strong aphantasia. I always thought "seeing something in your mind" was a metaphor.

Today is Bard's birthday. They would have been 61. I lit a candle, and put on some music that they and I used to listen to together, early in our relationship, and then I transferred their ashes to the beautiful urn Carolann Vassallo made for them. Blessed be.
