Hi new followers! 👋

One of the beautiful things about BlueSky was (is?) that you really didn’t have to have a “thing” over here and could pop in and out as you felt.

I joined the other place when I was 27 and eager. I’m 44 now and too tired to redevelop an online personality.

I did. But geez if this isn’t an overreaction.

The guy has been banned from the hotel as well.

Huge shoutout to my hotel for being amazing about it and not only changing my room but upgrading me and giving me cookies 🍪

This morning in PDX I had a man FOLLOW ME into my hotel and slip on to my elevator (I thought he was a guest, he was not a guest) to confront me about flipping off his cybertruck.

I am shaken, but safe.

And I am proven correct that men who drive cybertruck are the most insecure men possible.

Lauryn Hill just shared a moving tribute to the late D’Angelo:

People need reflection.

I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God. You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius. Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no
remembrance of the legacy that preceded us. Thank you for charting the course and for making
space during a time when no similar space really existed.

You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace, far away from selfishness, fear and/or controlling interests. Far from possessiveness, far from greed, far from manipulation, far from exploitation, far from intentionally designed chaos and that you Brother are in peace, in bliss and in eternal light and fulfillment with our Father in heaven. I Love you and I miss you. May God grant peace and shelter to your family, true friends and genuine appreciators, Brother, King.

Nothing to pull you out of your yoga practice quicker than noticing the RFK sticker on the water bottle of the woman next to you. The ANGER I feel at that person. Really wanted to ask if she was gonna refill the bottle in the creek though.

“When you walk through San Francisco next week, there will be cops on every corner,” Benioff continued. “That’s how it used to be.”

He's too young to remember, but back in those good old days, SF cops routinely terrorized LGBTQ people for asserting their rights.

Pretty disappointing, Marc.

Also reminded that a year ago was the aurora borealis and we hiked with that friend through the woods to an observation deck & it’s such a special memory

Unexpected grief tonight as we prep for a birthday party we’re hosting tomorrow and realizing we would’ve invited our friend down for it, but instead he went and died 💔

Randomly came across a saved voicemail from our friend who passed and ALL THE FEELS. It ends with “I love you guys so much” so that’s going to be saved forever and ever.

Wait, I just noticed that 21-24. Is that supposed to be an age range? Oh algo, you flatter me.

Keep getting this ad and it sounds like a literal nightmare. I’d rather have the masked hockey dude show up than the dude bros fanboying Ezra Klein.
