Church bulletin with "Passion Sunday" title, palm leaves, and a palm cross overlay

I haven't been to church in a while. But it's Palm Sunday, the start of Holy Week, so I felt like I needed to make an appearance #mccdetroit #palmsunday #spiritualbutnotreligious

Playbill for "The Grown Ups" play by Detroit Mercy Theatre Company with show details and an illustration of burning logs.

I promised myself that I'd take in more live music and theater in 2025. I'm behind on live music but "The Grownups" will be my 4th show. #detroittheatre #bolltheatre #detroitmercy

I made it through the first three months of 2025. I don't know what April has in store for me but I hope it's good

Had the great opportunity to see a Detroit Pistons game as part of MIGen/Stonewall Sports. I have never attended a Pistons game so I'm grateful for the ticket #detroitbasketball #stonewallsports #migen #detroitpistons

Entered the hospital on March 20 to have a colon mass removed. Released from the hospital today. So thankful to be out of the hospital. So thankful for health insurance.

Before the ACA was passed, I wasn't able to afford the surgeries I needed. I'm in the hospital currently because I was now able to afford surgery. Thank you, @barackobama.bsky.social

Hospital pager with the number 115 lit in red

The hospital has upped its game. Now surgery patients get a fancy pager to let them know when to head to surgery prep

Shake Shack meal with fries, a chicken sandwich, a drink, and a paper bag with a burger graphic and text.

Poster for "Kimberly Akimbo: A New Musical" with a rainbow, stars, and roller coasters.

It's become a treat yourself Tuesday. I'm having surgery on Thursday and this is the last day I can eat solid food. I got tickets to "Kimberly Akimbo" as part of my Christmas gift. It's my last hurrah before I recuperate/recover and make a life change #colonsurgery

Movie poster for "Black Bag" featuring a collage of characters in front of a fingerprint

Taking a treat yourself day before I start surgery prep for Thursday's procedure

One day I'll remember that there's only one person in life that you can depend on and that's yourself. It's a lesson that I'm constantly relearning

A vintage movie poster for "Walt Disney's Darby O'Gill and the Little People" featuring whimsical characters and gold coins.

Happy St. Patrick's Day. I always celebrate by watching one of my favorite Disney movies, Darby O'Gill and the Little People. #moviesky #filmsky

Movie poster for "The Ides of March" featuring a man's face split with a magazine cover.

First time watching this movie. Seems like an appropriate time to watch seeing we're in the Ides of March #filmsky #moviesky #idesofmarch

Thinking during #theidesofmarch about how the body betraying you is the worst kind of betrayal. My body keeps betraying me and I'm slowly running out of options

I don't know what part of my brain thought that I'd be able to have pizza for Pi Day, especially pizza from 7-11, knowing damn well that my digestive system would reject it. Nothing beats that 4AM purge. Seriously FML #piday

Image is of the lunar eclipse

My phone doesn't do the lunar eclipse justice. It's beautiful #lunareclipse #moon

Trying really hard to stay up for the eclipse but I'm really tired #fullmoon #bloodmoon #lunareclipse

Collage of the phrase "WHAT UP DOE" repeated in various sizes and fonts on a white background.

If you live in the metro Detroit area then you know that March 13 is 313 Day in reference to the original 313 area code. It's become a celebration of all things Detroit. I couldn't end the day without a hearty "What up Doe" to all the people on Bluesky #detroit #313day

A major section of highway near me (Interstate 696) is closed for the next two years. The aftermath is a traffic nightmare. I thought I was running late for my film club because I was stuck in traffic but I'm actually early because it doesn't start until 7 EST. #detroit

Billboard with pixelated graphics and the text "HAVE A SUPER MAR 10."

Hope y'all are having a super Mar 10 #marioday

Flyer for Ash Wednesday Service on March 5 by MCC Detroit. Features a cross and contact information for the Metropolitan Community Church of Detroit, emphasizing inclusivity since 1972.

And the season of Lent begins #lent #ashwednesday

Shakira sang about how the hips don't lie and, damn, she's right. My hips don't lie about being older every time I roll out of bed and hit the streets. And they especially don't lie on rainy March mornings

Image is a poster for the 97th Academy Awards

As a guy that watches a lot of movies, this is one of my favorite nights of the year #filmsky #moviesky

Image is of a gray cartoon rabbit wearing a bluish purple wrestling singlet

#rabbitrabbit
I had to find a rabbit in a wrestling singlet because it's the Michigan high school state finals and my nephew has made it to the final round.

January and February are difficult months here in Michigan. I'm glad to see March

I'm at Ford Field for my nephew's wrestling tournament. He's in the state finals. I feel surrounded by testosterone and not in a queer way but in a watch how I look, what I say because I might have an altercation. I hate living in this country where being equal never truly means equal

Image is of two American pennies facing heads up on a blue public transit seat

Having a rough morning. My sleep was off because of weird dreams. I left the house in a hurry leaving everything I needed for the day behind. But I found not one but two lucky pennies so my day is about to turn around.

Image features a crescent moon on the left side against a dark background, with a lighter gradient transitioning towards the right. The right side contains text in a stylized font with a decorative illustration of a woman's face surrounded by crescent shapes above the text. The image overall has a mystical and celestial theme, with small, white, star-like accents enhancing this effect.

There's a new moon in the sky. This new moon has me acknowledging my own life phases #newmoon

Appointment with my colorectal surgeon this morning. My colonoscopy went well so this is a routine follow up. Only thing is that I have a non cancerous mass in my descending colon so I'm probably going to need surgery to remove it

I'm ecstatic to report that it reached 50°F in the metro Detroit area. I'm beginning to see the grass hidden beneath the snow
