Today it occurred to me that technically, a tutu can be described as a tulle belt. 😊

Having way too much fun with "sodomy may replace football as America's favorite sport." Who has the TV contract? Do poppers count as PEDs? How about Tri-Mix? Enquiring minds want to know!

Considering the number of people who regularly call it the No Fun League, it's an accurate statement, though a bit crudely phrased. But it's a non sequitur to then say that makes it OK to disrupt the event.

Selfie on the light rail train, from overhead. I'm wearing a leather jacket, a T-shirt with a graphic of a jockstrap and the legend "Scratch and Sniff", black jeans and black boots.

Selfie at the bar, lit from overhead. I'm shirtless and wearing a black and yellow leather hunter harness.

Had a great time at the Seattle Men in Leather Daddy and Boy Contest meet and greet tonight.

I was going to suggest NOPE (the Jordan Peele film) based on the trailer, but that's more science fiction than supernatural.

Scrolling a bit too fast, ran across the word "practicum" and misread it as "precum." Dr. Freud, your slip is showing.

Bulldozer on the left, me on the right, at the bar at Diesel. He's in a tank top not visible in the photo, and I'm wearing a Quake Rugby T-shirt.

Ye cats, you have some major biceps there. And I'm very happy to work on your sore traps. 😊

🎶This pit is on fire... 🎶

Oh, nice. My husband and I took a Lyft ride with a driver who was fresh from the gym. When he offered one of us to ride shotgun because he had a child seat in the back, I eagerly accepted. 😊

As I said to one of my Portland friends, with all due respect, fuck that.

With all due respect, fuck that. My understanding is that TACO is an accurate acronym, and that there will be the usual show of force adjacent to Federal property and little else. The Mayor of Portland is advising people to live their lives.

Sign (in gold letters on a wood panel) directing guests to The Daniel O'Connell Room downstairs. In Madigan's Pub in Dublin, Ireland.

That reminds me. Your name is almost but not quite the same as perhaps the most influential Irish political leader of the 19th century, Daniel O'Connell. The main street in Dublin is named for him, as is this gathering space in a pub next door to our hotel.

No, I haven't. But I did see the actual book on display in Dublin.

20 Pilots.

Sum 40.

9999 Maniacs.

Big-bellied bear (me) seated in a recliner, wearing a gray T-shirt with a printed graphic and the text "Ireland / The Book of Kells", tan braces, and dark blue jeans.

Modeling my new shirt from the Ireland trip. I like the material as well as the graphics.

I was going to be snarky and suggest Egypt and Ethiopia haven't been at war since Aida (1871), but they did go to war 3 years later and Ethiopia won. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptia...

I'm reminded of Johnny in "Airplane!": "Oh, it's a big, pretty white plane, with red stripes, and curtains in the windows, and wheels, and it looks like a big Tylenol."

I actually had the pleasure of meeting Jack Chapman on a few occasions. What happened to him was inexcusable.

Had a conversation over brunch this morning about dudes who book a room at the bathhouse just to sleep (especially after drinking). I piped up, 🎶 Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't. 🎶

Note to self: never drive a Tesla in a dress. 😊

Yes. However, the US is not a signatory to the treaty that created the ICC, and the act I cited is known as the Hague Invasion Act because it authorizes the US military to take any measures necessary to insure immunity from the ICC, including military force.

YouTube video by Seattle Men's Chorus Love Beyond Borders | Documentary

The film, "Love Beyond Borders", tells the story of LGBTQ refugees, mainly from Muslim countries, who have made it to Canada and the US through the work of some dedicated people and organizations. The musical score was commissioned and performed by Seattle Men's Chorus. youtu.be/vA2sQJiFFps?...

Me, seated on a barstool on the balcony at Diesel, wearing a leather vest and harness.

Fun evening with a screening of "Love Beyond Borders" (see comment) and a Leather Social. During the film, I chuckled quietly at the lyric, "You may find them a harness and a chain" (referring to clothes) because this is what I wore under my T-shirt. 😊

To the tune of "Morning Glow" from Pippin.

Morning wood (morning wood), morning wood...

Burt Bacharach comes to mind:
🎶The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you 🎶

I used to lap that up (true crime stories) when it came in book form, often based on a TV documentary (or vice versa). But it seems to be more immediate when it comes from the Web.
