if Trump posts a trans slur on Truth Social which is aimed at you, and you say anything other than "can you guys fucking believe the President of the United States is out here posting trans slurs on Truth Social, fuck him into the sun for all eternity," you have failed the most basic of all tests

So, an update on moving: I may get the chance to stay in Seattle in the next 3 months or so. I've talked to people and they think they can get me settled to move by the time I go back to FL in December. So, if you'd like to give me an early birthday gift and help me stay out there, here you go:

Adulting gets a bad rap because of all the chores and bill paying, but it can also mean I'm having leftover wedding cake for breakfast and no one can stop me

Polaris most days: what if we went for a walk five minutes after we came home from a walk? Polaris when it rains:

Polaris, a young white pit mix with brindle eye patch is wearing a fuzzy gray robe. he's laying on his side on the couch. He is draped absurdly with his butt and belly over one of the couch cushions he has knocked over with his chest and face laying on the couch seat. he looks very long and lazy

Polaris loves huge dogs. He just a met a Great Dane who did nothing but give him a polite sniff and a half hearted bap with his paw and he's been riding that high with zoomies and goofy rolling around for an hour and counting. Just look at his little face

Polaris, a young white pit mix with a brindle eye patch is standing with his very dirty tongue hanging out with a big pittie smile on his adorable face

I was sitting in a meeting (via Teams and my laptop) laying on the couch, dripping fluids, miserable with COVID when someone referenced "the end of the pandemic" so now I'm a vengeful ghost.

I'm kind of obsessed with these two pictures of Polaris and his bff. Truly a bromance for the ages

Polaris, a young white pit mix with a brindle eye patch is walking side by side with a larger, lanky young brindle dog. they are looking at one another as they walk and appear to be telling each other stories or jokes

Polaris and his BFF again. In this one Polaris is standing, and the young brindle dog is laying down with his head slightly cocked. the pose is extremely reminiscent of an awkward studio portrait people's parents had on their mantle

Completely random aside but this just reminded me of my ex who refused to believe Christopher Pike was a writer. That was the name of the Star Trek captain so I must be misremembering. Did I mean RL Stein? No. I did not mean RL Stein.

even from this horrible angle we're cute

two white bearded trans folks stand on the deck of a boat with water in the background, they have their arms around one another. to one on the left is wearing a greek goddess-esque dress with diagonal green and white stripes. the one one the right (me) is wearing a black and white marbled suit, a white shirt, and a chartreuse tie that matches their hair.

I got a Gopro just before my last summer trip to Churchill. I'm still figuring it out, but I did manage to capture some footage of these juvenile belugas trailing behind our zodiac the other day. They're very curious and like the bubbles from the idling (and prop-guard protected) motor.
