Anything is a sex toy if you believe.

10 years ago today I jumped the broom with @yesthatselke.bsky.social and our twins. It’s a leap of faith that I would happily do over and over.

This still life almost captures who I am at this moment in time.
Photo showing a vial on insulin,  an insulin syringe, and an alcohol pad in the foreground; behind it a Hothead Paisan mug with the comic book character Hothead saying, “We hafta get out of here right away!! But first let’s make some coffee!!”. There is coffee with heavy cream in the mug giving it a nice light brown color, and behind the mug is a nice sized chunk of coffee cake on a plate with a fork. There is a nice dark brown sugar ribbon going through the yellow cake and a brown sugar topping about the same color as the coffee.

The Google doodle today got me deep in my feels. I’ve been following #USSoccer since 1994. I’ve never been to a men’s #WorldCup (couldn’t afford the travel). I wanted to be in LA today, dressed as George Clinton (I bring the funk, you bring the ruckus!), but can’t. (1)
The June 12th, 2026 Google doodle. The first “o” in “Google” is a red soccer ball with black panels made to look like a stitched patch. The second “o” is a stitched patch of the U.S. Soccer Federation badge. The remaining letters are stitched in red with a black border.

Happy birthday, #Prince.
An unfinished puzzle is on a tray table. The cover of the puzzle box is upright behind the puzzle. The image of the finished puzzle is on the box. It is the musician Prince from the Purple Rain era as a gray cat with a white snout, purple eyes, and teased up black hair. The title of the puzzle is “Purrince”. Out of focus in the background of the photo is an image of the album For You by Prince on the TV screen. 
There is a stainless steel water bottle next to the puzzle box cover that has an Oakland Roots logo sticker on it.

Dear DMV, I have four possible choices here. I went with “gray” since that’s the dominant color of my beard (although white could be argued too).
Selection check box on a webpage that asks “What color is your hair?” Selections are circles with colors corresponding with the choice. Selections are No Hair (empty circle), Auburn, Black, Brown, Blonde, Gray, Red, White, Other (purple circle)Selfie of my face. I have a shaved bald head, and a black and gray beard and mustache.

My fit for the #USWNT vs. Japan game. Unfortunately, I’ll have to cover up because of the wind and possible showers during the game.
Me in a red Manchester United jersey with Chevrolet as the front sponsor. I’m standing in front of a mirror that shows Press and number 24 on the back of the jersey. I’m wearing a black scarf with red lettering in the middle with red and black bands and more lettering on each end of the scarf. My black scarf on my bed with a black fitted sheet. The middle red lettering says, “¡NO PASARÁN!”, the red bands on each end have the number ‘161’ in black print inside white diamond shapes, one white band at the end has the logo for Antifa International, the other end has a hissing cat and it says, “Stand and Be Counted“ and “PM Press” around the cat.

#GenX feels. This is the part of the 80’s we don’t talk about much. Just sent my kid away on a Spring Break trip with friends last night.
Screenshot of texts with my spouse saying, “I’m having deep feels about nuclear war the morning after I just sent our daughter away.”

I have been dreaming of getting this shot for a while now. Thank you @tcrane.bsky.social for capturing my idea so absolutely perfectly.
I stand in the middle of the road on an overpass with my arms triumphantly raised and a trans flag billowing on a flagpole held in my right hand. I’m wearing my black hoodie that says “YOU WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH ME” in trans flag colors. I have on black cargo shorts with knee high red and black socks and black combat boots.

On this #TransDayOfVisibilty, I wanted to thank all the trans people I have met, loved, and in one case, raised. Y’all have helped me shape my own identity, taught me comfort in embracing my queer cis self, and helped me grow into the person I am today. Thank you.

Interesting question for me, I was already a club kid going to pansexual dance clubs in NE Ohio before I went to a place that was exclusively gay. I’d say it’s either U4ia in Cleveland or the Interbelt in Akron.
