Saw it at 15 years old here, and emphatically, yup, same.

Mona's wearing her dorky Sam Darnold T-shirt again

Hope all my 12s out there have had a good Tuesday 💙💚🩶🏈 #Seahawks #GoHawks

When I went to the Texans game in October, I was the ONLY person I saw at Lumen in a Sam Darnold jersey. I tagged in on Sammy D early, baybeee! So yeah, I'll admit there's a little flavor boost going on here. A Seahawks win Sunday would be the ULTIMATE vindication of being a Darnold early adopter.

That's rad! I've frequently seen Columbus surprise folks who haven't already marinated in the mighty Olentangy River for a while😂

I go back to Seattle to visit friends and family (and catch Seahawks games) like 3 times a year. I love Columbus enough that I have no plans to move back to Washington.

I've lived in Columbus all but 3 years of the 21st century. It's pretty great! 2 million people in the fastest-growing midwestern metro area. Huge LGBTQ+ community (and a particularly robust and large trans community), vibrant and diverse population, tons of big city amenities, NHL & MLS teams, etc.

Alright, my prediction for Super Bowl LX:

Seattle 32
Foxborough 22

(What's the point if you aren't going to predict a Scorigami, amirite?)

MVP: Ken Walker

#Seahawks #GoHawks

Up to XXVI in my annual re-watch of old NFL Films Super Bowl Highlights. Nah, I don't watch EVERY one every year. But I try to watch as many as I can (outside of the ones I just don't feel like watching).

What do we think, 12s? Cooper Kupp retires or nah if we win on Sunday?

Quote post a photo of you in your favorite dress.

Happy Tuesday from Cube City, y'all! 😊😊😊

No Other Choice (dir. Park Chan-wook, 2025)

Films of 2025 that I've watched multiple times:

7 times: Mickey 17
5 times: SINNERS
4 times: Marty Supreme
3 times: 28 Years Later, Superman
2 times: One Battle After Another, No Other Choice, Wake Up Dead Man, The Naked Gun, Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning

Hard co-sign. I'm gonna be a WRECK on Sunday. My spouse is gonna need to remind me to hydrate and to eat something.

This is a trite, cringe, and cliche thing to say, but... I fucking love my Seattle Seahawks. I love every Hawks squad, but these 2025 lads, I adore them. I want them to carve their names into the history of our national game. I think they will. But I KNOW they will give their absolute best on Sunday

Ayyyye it's photos of Ramona, 1987-2025

Fresh intro! I turn 51 in Spring 2026 & I'm queer, married, & ethically non-monogamous

Pretended to be a straight boy til egg shattered @ 31. HRT @ 37. Super fem binary trans woman ages 38-45. Bottom surgery @ 46. Now non-binary in a "no gender for me, thanks!" sort of way. Occasionally super fem ☺️

The video I'm referring to

youtu.be/yEqoh-q6CDc?...

Hey! It's Dave Krieg! Hey, it's Chuck Knox wearing that hat!

Hey, that's the mascot I have the plushie of, at a game in '83!

Watching the Fort Knox video of the 1st Seahawks game I ever went to in '83 made me want to bust out my era-appropriate gear (Chuck Knox hat, Dave Krieg jersey) and give some attention to my Seahawks Huddle Mascot plushie that my spouse got for me a while back 😊

And I'm largely a "It makes sense to vote strategically for Democratic candidates as electoral harm reduction" kind of person! What he's said about trans folks AND THE POLICIES HE IS CURRENTLY PUSHING AS GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA should be disqualifying. It's abhorrent that it isn't for moderate Dems.

There's no way anyone can expect trans folks to ever vote for Newsom. I sure as shit won't vote for that dude. Just like, look up what he's said about us.

OK, you're back? Yeah, I'm not debasing myself by voting for a raging transphobe.

(Good news is I don't think he will win the D primary.)

This wknd my partner Tommy & I wanted to see The Bone Temple, so 1st we watched 28 Years Later (still 1 of my top 10 of '25) Friday. Then Sunday, 2nd BT for me, 1st for them. THEN we watched 28 Days Later, which Tommy hadn't seen. Great movie! Now I wanna rewatch 28YL & BT w/28DL fresh in my mind 🤓

I dig your hair! ☺️

Katie and Mona back in the 90s, in Bellingham.

At Seahawks games with Katie over the years.

Top photo is from a Seahawks game in December 2003, bottom photo is from the most recent NFC Championship Game win.

Happy birthday to my very dear friend Katie, whom I've known for over 30 years now, going back to our days going to Western Washington University together😊 Go Hawks! 💙💚🩶🏈 #Seahawks

I effing LOVE brussel sprouts. But yeah, same exact journey.

YouTube video by Fort Knox 1983 Seahawks Clinch First Team Playoff Berth vs Patriots

Shout-out to the YouTube channel Fort Knox for posting this. This was the first Seahawks game I ever went to. I was 8 years old. Pretty much a 12 for life from this moment. I've watched every non-scab regular season or playoff game, live on TV or in person, since then.

youtu.be/yEqoh-q6CDc?...

M.O.B. is in effect Super Bowl week, too.

Mission is to hoist that Lombardi.

Everything else... Who will own the team in the future, where assistant coaches will work in the future... This week, THAT is The Bullshit.

Coach Mike will keep the Seahawks focused on the M in this hurricane of B.

Movie time!

Visiting The Bone Temple with Tommy and Val! 🤩 (I feel like I look pissed here, but I swear I'm not)

Smooth as a muskrat, quick as a lizard!
