Heat is always sold out when I try to find it. 🫠

When was the last time a straight person experienced a positive feeling and did not yell "Let's go?" Seems like it's been a very long time. If this is chronic, how can we make them less happy? That shit is annoying.

Gen z is so cold

A lot of outerwear at this club. #ogunquitpride

The first person we saw on vacation was Creamy Meats. We are so back.

Celebrated the 30th anniversary of crying myself to sleep on my 7th birthday because I was getting old. Buckle up, kiddo.

I never liked Ross, but now having been to Paris, I can confirm Rachel Green is the dumbest bitch on Earth.

I never care about being a taurus unless I'm watching Dunst. Then I'm all "Same. Me too." Those eyes! 🙌

The force is strong with me. Mando's handler asked everyone "Francais? English?" but to me he just said "Bonjour, Francais?"
Each time I was mistaken for a local was :: chef's kiss ::
And then I opened my mouth.

"The beauty one finds alone is a prayer that longs to be shared" (imagine this is set to Miley's "Prelude")
Also, I cried 5 times during the final 12 hours because I love #Paris so much.
I'm so grateful to @yonka.paris for this once in a lifetime experience.

- florals for spring
- a gorgeous rainbow after a long day
- my endless planning and research for Paris (less than a week now 😳)

- a mossy plant ball from my mom
- shirts for the outreach group initiative I started at work to empower & help facilitate employees to engage with the community & fundraise for causes they're passionate about arrived (a day late).
- Boston Common Magazine with my 1st photo credit in print(?)

- an early Easter at my mom's with Jello eggs & niblings (not sure how I felt about the weird underwear stuffing game my mom bought, but the kids liked it)
- @timtam82.bsky.social's charcuterie board

A few things that got me through this week:
- a chilly day at Brimfield Brewfest warmed up by my double puzzle piece winner, Flying Fox Brewing's Strawberry Jalepeno Sour, Lolita, and a night at the lake with the Sharecuterie Crew (@timtam82.bsky.social)
- a man named Ray thinks I'm wonderful

- David from Survivor 48
- Kylie. Minogue.
- 'Slow' getting the 'Skirt' treatment (my entry song as an actual fan mixed with one of my favorite songs (an opinion!))

- getting my first new phone in several years
- the new phone camera (see daffodil comparison), although my old phone was kinder with selfies.
- my fountain is back

- finally going to IKEA to get a new pillow
- Leaving IKEA with upgraded furniture because a shelf I've had for over a decade was about to collapse

Things this week:
- 50k on the common (biggest rally I've seen)
- shybird irl (sb dunks!)
- an artist asking if he can draw me (first time since 2007! What have you all been waiting for?!)
- first trip to Costco (I should have been mic'd)

Robert Irwin looking fine as hell wearing only underwear, a snake, and a spider while holding a glass of water in a plastic lawn chair in the front yard

Lily, the cartoon girl from Duolingo, standing next to the French phrase " Je mange assez."

A guy in a sweater and a hat

- Robert Irwin
- French
- my therapist pointing out he's recognized the breakthrough I sensed a couple weeks ago 🥳

The menu screen for 'Queer' on a television

A hand holding up a mug featuring a Santa hat on the word "Mr."

A Dear America book called "Voyage on the Great Titanic: The Diary of Margaret Ann Brady / RMzs Titanic, 1912" resting on a duvet

- 'Queer' being on max
- being told that scene at the end was one of the most me things on film (true.)
- finally drinking the hot chocolate we put out to have on Xmas
- starting April by rereading this children's book about Titanic I loved as a gayby (needed something lighter after CMBYM & Queer)

The sun shining over the Charles River with sail boats in silhouette on hazy day.

Two plates of bacon, eggs, & Mickey waffles with glittery syrup

A tree in full bloom with pink blossoms in front of brownstones

A half-eaten apple turnover in a zip lock bag with "day-old Danish" written on it

A few things that got me through this week:
- Brighter Days Ahead (album + literally)
- Act 1 of Miley's 'Something Beautiful'
- Breakfast for dinner
- Mickey waffles
- the trees in Back Bay in bloom
- a coworker giving me an apple turnover + the opportunity to send a Golden Girls joke to @timtam82

Leave it in both. Don't let it interrupt your creative flow because you don't think you're supposed to. There's nothing stopping you from changing it in time with different eyes. Otherwise, it could be a refrain of sorts within the larger work. With that said, I have no experience & write for myself

Strides for Action 2025: Lance Houle II I’m proud to take part in Strides for Action on Sunday, June 1, 2025, at Artesani Park with my team! LGBTQIA+ healthcare, HIV treatment and prevention, and gender-affirming care are at a crossroads.

As a result of the sweeping cuts to funding from this administration, Fenway Health needs our support more than ever. As your act of resistance today, please consider making a donation. Any amount helps. Thank you!

Things that got me through this week: For most of the week, not much! But made it through with the first blooms appearing on the trees, 2 mois des leçons Français chaque jour, buying the correct size frame for "the Swallows," another bottle of whiskey, and filling out my luggage tags (< 1 month🇫🇷)

I'm walking with a team of coworkers to raise money for Fenway Health. Not only is Fenway where I go for LGBTQ+-affirming care, it's the #1 reason I'm hesitant to leave MA. I'm not confident I'll receive the same level of respect or experience-based care as a queer man if I were to leave state.

Delete this.

Ari handed me a mirror and then punched me through it with Twilight Zone.

My dream was buffering last night.
A bit on the nose, but that tracks.
