Perfect windy sunset magic at Point Petre beach this evening. The way that crashing waves sooth my soul is…the best earth witchy magic.

Damn! Erotica and Diva were FOUNDATIONAL to my bébé queerness too. My preferred Tina album was the Live! From Europe double cassette(!). I listened to it recently and I still know every word and all the stage banter without missing a beat.

I think I found my people at the Word on the Street book festival today. Speculative climate fiction, maybe not so good fairies and tough women warriors despite the odds? Yup, I’ve good some great new reads. cc @stelliform.press @dylanmadeley.bsky.social

Excellent! It flies over us regularly and knowing that people can book rides in it, I always think of the plane nerds out for a ride probably having one of the best days of their lives whenever I see it.

Had fun getting gussied up for my younger cousin’s wedding party last night after she told us, as the elder queers, to turn it tf out. lol I have never worn satin, a pussy bow or carried a clutch before and last night I did all three and felt fabulous and unstoppable. 🫳

Two men dressed up and standing a dark theatre with red and purple lighting.

My shirt, on the left has a huge bow and there are several brooches pinned to it and I am carrying a red clutch purse.
My partner, on the right, is wearing a dark grey suit with a black sequined top underneath.

Ohhh is he riding in it?! My dad keeps saying he would like to when he visits.

I haven’t had bubble tea in ages and this one fucked me right up. *complimentary.

I grew up down the road from it, Hog's Back Falls is one of my happy places.

Because for gay lawnbowling tournaments we become Grecian-esque flower fairies apparently? TBH the costumes got away from us a bit other than “add more flowers!” and “filmy swishy dresses-capes”. 🌸🫳

Loveliest pink sky at gay lawnbowling tonight.

Cutie short king behind the counter at the bakery when I asked for a baguette said “chef made them different today, do you want one that is long and skinny or…” pauses and looks up at me “short and girthy”. Fam, I chose short and girthy and gave him the naughtiest I see you wink ever. 🫳

Christopher @christopher-r-m.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

…and we ended the night taking the celebration to the streets and paraded through the Village and downtown streets led by the choir and funeral procession singing to everyone on the patios and balconies who came out wondering WTF we were and then had huge smiles for Dolly. Dolly-luia!

Christopher @christopher-r-m.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Of course we sang Jolene, everyone knew that song.

Christopher @christopher-r-m.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

The Tennessee Mountain Homo choir, as always at Queers and Steers, lead us in song.

Christopher @christopher-r-m.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Tonight, the wonderful team of weirdos from Queers and Steers put on a celebration of life-funeral for Dolly Parton. We came together in queer community with a marching band, a wreath of blonde wigs, a pink coffin and pallbearers in assless chaps and we sang and danced and said our Dolly-luias.

I was just looking into this today to make a recommendation at work. I have used 1Password for a few years but am now also looking to switch services. The two that I am considering are ProtonPass and NordPass. Both seem very comparable function wise to 1Password with a few extra perks each.

I hate turn by turn directions in app, but do like to look at a map overall before I go somewhere. Maybe it’s time to go back to an paper map!

000

Christopher @christopher-r-m.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Have you found a decent map app to switch to?

Christopher @christopher-r-m.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

It’s a little bit wet and windy out there at the moment!

Christopher @christopher-r-m.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

But wholesome af and a great silly way to get to know the community. I love this!

Christopher @christopher-r-m.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

The power of great stories and wonderful storytelling!

It was so great watching the pro-shot recently when so many people in the theatre gasped when Orpheus looks back. Myself included even though I knoooow. lol

Any car that was annoyed should have just taken a side road like they keep telling us we should just do. 😑

040

Christopher @christopher-r-m.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

We let pedestrians cross roads, we said thanks to the drivers of cars who waited, rang our bells and waved to people on patios and still, 1000++ bikes moved out of the way faster and left more room for emergency vehicles than a dozens of cars ever would.

Christopher @christopher-r-m.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Pissed off at our idiot and asshole premier Doug Ford for fighting in court to remove bike lanes and #criticalmass rallied more than a few of us cyclists to show up and protest. Oh and look, we took over the whole damn lane.

It’s a good one! I assumed what it meant but looked it up to confirm and had a good laugh at the entry edit from today.

I’ve got a lounging buddy this morning.

Lounging on a sofa outdoors in the sunshine with my straw hat low on my face. A black, tan and white dog with a pink collar lounges next to me.

Christopher @christopher-r-m.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

omg every pic I took of her that night was just a blurry ball of light from all her sequins reflecting the spotlight! 😭😭😭

Christopher @christopher-r-m.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Fuuuuuuck, not Dolly. So glad that the wonderful queerdos and weirdos in this town still host the best night of Pride every year with Night of A Thousand Dolly’s and it is truly pure queer joy which I know she would have loved.

Just me and the very chatty loons again out on the lake first thing this morning.

Christopher @christopher-r-m.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Good morning from a lake where I am the only one awake other than a loon (stupid Canadian wolf bird) calling from the far side of said lake.

So cute, went to see Twelfth Night at Dream in High Park with my theatre girlies tonight. Only understood about half of the dialogue, it’s been ages since I have seen a Shakespeare play and my brain is mush from work these days. But I sure understood the shirtless men “wrestling” and bawdy winks.

Love these! Tripping the Bruce is my favourite.

Christopher @christopher-r-m.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

I have never seen any others so to me, it is the best! I saw it at the perfect time in my burgeoning queer understanding too so, it is super special for me.

Christopher @christopher-r-m.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

MuchMusic (Canadian MTV) once played the whole Girlie Show tour without ads and I recorded it. I treasured that recording for years, watching it over and over until I no longer had a VCR. I was obsessed with the beaded headpiece she for Vogue and agree, this version of Rain is gorgeous.

Toronto Flower Market days make the best weekends.

Melanie of Dahlia May Flower Farms and I hold bouquets of flowers in front of her market stall.

Yes! It was a teacher in grade 7 or 8 who noticed I was squinting a lot and suggested to my parents that I get my eyes tested. My precocious reading and being “a joy to have in class” stopped carrying me when I couldn’t infer the math or geography up on the board. lol 🫳

Christopher @christopher-r-m.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

When I got my first glasses as a young teen, I was SHOCKED by this. lol

Christopher @christopher-r-m.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

I had the spicy version a few weeks ago and I think the spice was maybe a few cracks of black pepper? Otherwise, agree, totally fine for what it is. Eric Kim had a carbonara ramen recipe that I was really into for a while.

Christopher @christopher-r-m.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Dammit. That’s scuppered my snack plan for tonight. Unless…

Christopher @christopher-r-m.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

It is SO good! Weirdly, I just recco’d it last night as my pals and I were swapping books to read suggestions after watching Hadestown.
