This lazy old doofus was off duty yesterday. #nationalblackcatday
*someone* slept through #nationalblackcatday .
I'm lying. She didn't. I just forgot. Sorry, Greebo.
I figured out what to do with this thing.
Fun was had. Everyone got weird and then fell asleep.
Sometimes you just have to leave the store with the weirdest thing they sell in there.
God help me I have no idea what I am going to do with this thing

This is my #genealogy pen. You might think "oh how cute, you use it to break down brick walls."
Nope. I use it to punch the kit numbers of people who don't attach a #GEDCOM to their #DNA in #GEDmatch. Ka-pow.
Intentionally un-American things I am doing today for my own comfort:
1. Staying inside
2. Not exploding anything
3. Making tea
I've been working on a novel for over 20 years. I recently picked it up again and I've made some good headway. I can proudly say that as I continue to work on it under the current regime I am writing in *even more reasons it will be banned* #author #queerauthor #queerfantasy #unicornwestern
You all need to know how damn precious Guillermo is. Also pretty sure he's melanistic and not wild type like I was told. Either way he is my beautiful baby. #axolotl #amphibian
Amazing. I would love to see this. Also It'd be interesting to see a reenactment of events from 1969 through smartphone journalism?
At some point I began to imagine a #ballet set to this #ironmaiden song with the principal dancer playing the role of the dirigible. With an inflatable costume. Unfortunately #choreography is not something I have in my skill set. So have fun imagining with me.

You're not wrong. You're just fashion-forward. They don't know it's cool yet, give it a month or two π
I hope you stay safe too. β€οΈ I moved away to Massachusetts years ago but my mom and brother and all my high school friends are still back there. Some even closer to DC, working in tech/gaming. I'm afraid to text my mom bc I think she went Trumpy and isn't telling me. But she's still my mom.
I have spent longer than necessary analyzing the possibility if, in the event of a nuclear bomb hitting DC, would my family in Baltimore be affected.
Being skilled at data visualization is a blessing and a curse.

We need more queer representation like this. We have a lot more in common than we realize sometimes. #lgbtq #pride #pridemonth #lgbtqhistory #loveislove
Throwing aside all nuance, as a queer adult, I see this "uptown boy" as a "boy" in the Leather sense, and the "teacher" as an older and probably dominant partner. Yet the feelings presented are relatable to listeners no matter their orientation or interpretation of the song.
Notice the lack of gendered language, the lack of a visible partner, the use of a mirror as the only representation of a second individual in the video, implying a sameness/similarity between George Michael and the unnamed lover. Then notice the anguish. The inner turmoil. The loss of trust.
As a #queer adult with a different interpretation of this song than I did as a young and less worldly person, it hits different. Absolutely brings me to tears. #georgemichael #queerhistory #lgbtq #pridemonth #leatherpride

No creature has any right being this cute all the time. #axolotl #wildtype #wildtypeaxolotl #aquarium #pet #amphibian
Yes! How can basically a tiny stupid living vacuum do this I will never understand π I usually don't get chomped but my last baby had a problem with aggressively attacking the tongs during feeding so I had to switch to hand feeding only. Never happened again.
I got chased out of a cemetery by a gang of turkeys once. True story. I have a hard time thinking they're cute now π
This is Guillermo. Gilly for short, just in case later we find out he's Guillermina. I wasn't sure I was ready to get another one but I'm a complete sucker and this baby was too cute to leave behind. Prepare to be spoiled beyond belief little guy. #axolotl #aquarium #babyaxolotl #wildtypeaxolotl

Going to Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time in close to 20 years. I don't usually post selfies but I feel ... A little more like myself than usual. But also weird. Because lately I don't feel much like myself. #rhps #rockyhorrorpictureshow #oldgoth #selfie
Beautiful baby π
I have this beautiful tank with live plants and ghost shrimp and beautiful lighting and nobody is home and I am heartbroken. #plantedtank #aquariumplants
All I can think of is "once I get paid for my next work project I am getting another axolotl." I love work and I love my projects and I can't wait but this axolotl shaped hole in my heart hurts too much.
My beautiful stupid baby #axolotl RosΓ© died at the beginning of this month. It was 5 years old and perfectly happy and healthy until it got an impaction that I just couldn't get it to pass. I miss it terribly - it always had a smile for me no matter what. #pet #amphibian #petloss #aquarium #sadpost
