Brian Boar @cinghiale.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Sabbatical means I’ve been able to start lifting again after a three year break. I missed it badly, and three months in I’m relishing how much a difference it makes in my physical and mental well being. 71377
Brian Boar @cinghiale.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Agreed. Three works best as a single integrated image. And making the track shaped like a fern frond would be visible/intelligible without having to get in close & figure out disparate details 020
Brian Boar @cinghiale.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I bought this painting years ago, because I’d been dad-companion to three black cats, one after the other: Alley, Sam, and Buddy. 160
Brian Boar @cinghiale.bsky.social · 23/07/2026I don’t know where that kind of interaction is still possible. I continue with photos on facebook & some posts here & on Instagram, but I don’t really find sane everyday life-sharing anywhere anymore. 010

Brian Boar @cinghiale.bsky.social · 17/06/2026As a bear from Appalachia, I am a longtime fan of Jeff Mann’s, the poetry as well as the fiction — jeffmannauthor.comjeffmannauthor.comJeff Mann 230
Brian Boar @cinghiale.bsky.social · 10/06/2026I really liked Houlbrook’s book! It was up there with Berube’s Coming Out Under Fire & Chauncey’s Gay New York as histories that completely transformed my sense & understanding of the history of sexuality 130
Brian Boar @cinghiale.bsky.social · 03/06/2026The plot and characters in this book irritated me (the party where everyone fawns over Margaret Thatcher!) but the writing was so strong & it’s stuck with me like few novels of that era 130
Brian Boar @cinghiale.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Yeah… that isn’t the best worded challenge. Probably better titled “Why I Am Gay,” with the photo offered as evidence. I didn’t mean to imply that anybody was gay but me. My apologies to anybody who felt displeased or weird about being called gay when it’s not a label you’d use for yourself. 120
Brian Boar @cinghiale.bsky.social · 31/05/2026Yes to 2-4 😊 i am (1) — six blocks south of Diesel — and yes the area has changed bigtime since 2019 & parts are depressing/scary. No too different from what downtown Portland was facing 2 or so years ago. 120
Brian Boar @cinghiale.bsky.social · 22/05/2026In Albuquerque to visit Mike for the long weekend. 0200
Brian Boar @cinghiale.bsky.social · 09/05/2026I feel that way most of the time, but then I run into exceptions. Things I really enjoy — but they’re rarely widely popular, so they don’t help me carry on conversations or help me understand 3/4 of what bears post about 😹 030
Brian Boar @cinghiale.bsky.social · 19/04/2026I *should* say Do the Right Thing, Henry V, or Heathers, but really, Bill & Ted is the movie I’d watch again & again. All we are, is dust in the wind. Be excellent unto each other. 220
