Top 5 in 2nd Place!!!

Collective Current Mood

Absolutely, and I enjoy my fancier costumes whenever the need arises to reflect my inner flamboyance

Announcement of my advancement to the Top Ten for Style Icon, currently in 2nd place

I came in 3rd at the Ball, beaten by two Black trans women (out of fairness, no human can defeat a Black trans woman in a ball).

And I advanced to the Top 10 for Style Icon, still currently in 2nd place styleicon.org/2025/phil-po...

What people don't understand is that people have called me ugly, stupid, and worthless my entire life, and they continue to do so today. Not yet getting a job doesn't help

I made it to the Top 15!! Currently in 3rd place! This is really cool, and this all goes to an excellent cause: the Elton John AIDS Foundation. I am of the AIDS generation of the 80s, so this matters to me, and showing my art to the world like this is so cool. styleicon.org/2025/phil-po... #fashion

I do not agree for myself. I see your point, but so many people don't understand the perspective of people who get hurt like me by a societal system we can't forgive due to its relentlessness. Will we never heal? We minorities won't heal from systemic abuse if the wound persists. Justice can heal

Imagining a world that beautiful is sometimes difficult to comprehend, but I cling to it nonetheless. Being truly free and mystical as individuals can build community. I did all of the way back to Göbeckli Tepe

I decided to reminisce on my old Cemetery Potluck lewks yesterday for Flower Factory and produced this Goth lewk. Also, a personal celebration for getting rid of a toxic dark entity in my life alongside being around 🔥 beautiful friends and guys in defiance of "can't interact with others"

On my second birthday weekend I am going to dress up, go full on Disco Dandy, and head to Studio 54 to boogie on down with Bianca Jagger, horse and all, with fabulous drag queens, 🔥 shirtless gogo boys, and Utica.

I just lost my job. I work in IT as a web developer and programmer with 25+ years of experience, and I need a job fast.

Help appreciated #job #employment #web #software

It was a matter of time

I flat out refuse to show any sadness nor empathy towards anyone who wanted me ⚰️, and if that's a deal breaker for you, allow me to show you the door out of my life, because I have loving, accepting, and inclusive friends that celebrate me, and you and your bowing to h@te don't have to be among them

The theme for this year's PTown Carnival was "Summer Camp". I remember my childhood going to summer camp and having Christmas in July, so let's make it Dandy! In August, but who's counting?

Yes. I love versatility 😉

Me, of course

I impressed my coworkers with my skills and producing near 💯 their homepage for a demo of the proposed rewrite. They even admitted that they didn't expect my proof-of-concept to be near-identcal to the live version! Yay!

Also this

Happy Juneteenth! #juneteenth

No yt 🍊 loving not see yt r@cist gay calling me a r@cist is going to ruin my start of Social Summer, but we really need to stop wanting to 🍆 or 🍑 not see yt r@cist gays. Gays, pay attention.

Meanwhile, this was me @tradebardc @capitalpridedc #dandy #maximalism #pride2025 #capitalpride

Ok, so we admit it, but, as a Black victim of it, what is to be done about it now?

Here is Part 2 of New York Met Gala weekend:

I went to Julius' Bar, a recommendation by one of my best friends who used to work there. I had a blast! People LOVED my lewk!

Now it's your turn. My evening lewk for the Met Gala weekend #metgala2025 #superfine #blackdandyism #dandy #dandyism #fashion

On my way to New York to [almost] fulfill a dream. So, of course, my anxiety is off the charts. Prayers, thoughts, mojo, juju, etc. please, and thanks

I need to get into the mood for option #1; I haven't tried option #2 in centuries; option #3 is doable

My dandyism is anti not see

Sure if I'm invited

I refuse to ruin my Easter by reading that.. message. This is the orange I need during Easter #kylieminogue #tensiontour #easter2025 #Easter #dandy #fashion #lgbtqia

On my last day of work, not a single person announced that today was my last day during the meeting. Nothing. I meant nothing to them there. Feelings of worthlessness

I don't need to go into much deeper introspection into my upgrade of my 2019 Dandy Walk lewk except how blessed my day and evening were while dressed in my 2019 Dandy Walk upgrade lewk, all while we're suffering GayThreads #bunkerclubdc #crushdancebar #flowerfactory_party

Cool, possible solutions!
