I can't believe it's been over a year since I bumped this. Finalizing move back to Cda is all-consuming (time, money, mental health). Pic here is from today- the music of R&P continues to inspire queer folks. Will peeps join my projects to honour + celebrate them? familyoflovers.com

I've never liked ICE. Even back when they used to call themselves the Klan.

It would be great if the entire WH press corps just walked out, not only because it would freak out the Pettydent, but also...don't we deserve a break from hearing about Jabber the Butt for even just a day?

Apparently there have been such honorifics in the past. On this album, recorded live at an E.Vancouver venue, Michael Callen commented about 1 he saw while relieving himself. He wanted 1 "I'd liv to have a Tea Room named after me." (Tea Room has specific meaming in gay male circles).

Growing up in Ont (Cda) I didn't believe the USA was perfect- but it seems that I couldn't appreciate how deep + dangerous the flaws until I moved down to experience it 1st hand. Even that understanding has come only after learning just how deeply masked I'd been since birth. briangryphon.ca

Fellow NeuroDelightful peeps and others who luv swimming in the detail end of life's pool I have a LOT of background on my GoFundMe campaign, and the tragic story of the late Gray Gonzo that messed up our retirement plans at DigitalGryphon.com.

Text reads "The Life and Death of Gray Gonzo - an act in three parts" above 3 images showing our previous Kia Soul which was first stolen, then a second theft attempted, before it died in a hail of bullets- the innocent victim of a drive-by shooting.

Whether you believe I'm tapping into Jung's Collective Unconscious, something within my NeuroDelightfullness, or my decades of living openly queer, peeps seem to appreciate the insights I share, and readings help me (a sort of unique stimming for me). . guncletarot.com/catalogue/sp...

Below the GuncleTarot logotype the words "Fall 2026 Specials. We're still focused on finding housing in Ontario. But I find that doing Card Readings helps me calm the internal insanity. So I've chosen two of my favourite Queerly Focused Spreads to offer a a SPECIAL 25% DISCOUNT, for a limited time.

Not saying I agree with the analysis (nor that I disagree)- we definitely need more information and clarity on what Carney is actually working toward. Not just what he says it is. Looking for a true folk hero, not a pseudo- one like establishment US Democrats like to portray.

Can't blame peeps not knowing tariffs are taxes on their buying when even @msnowreports.bsky.social posts: "Canada will temporarily avoid hefty taxes that were set to go into effect at midnight after last-minute talks to avoid President Donald Trump’s latest tariff threat" as if Canada is paying.

And now Rep. Wasserman Schultz steps in to ensure @housedemocrats.bsky.social snatch defeat from the jaws of success. Or at least minimize their victory, disrupt the party, and their ability to enact truly popular progressive change. Protect establishment career politicians; f the rest of us.

I use WI-based @thegamecrafter.bsky.social to produce my oracle decks. They don't do t-shirts or mugs so their production schedule may not be what you're expecting. But much faster than ordering a gross of games from overseas. Local labour + enviro-friendly. Superb printing on quality card stock.

A collection of the shop ads for 10 oracle decks and 3 reading mats. Along with the text "A reminder that thegamecrafter.com system creates a very generous allowance for production times. As their name suggests they also produce complex board games to order. The most recent order for one of my decks (placed late in July) was shipped in 18 days."
