Found this book in our house, Manners for Millions, Sophie Hadida, 1932.
295 pages on how to conduct yourself to not offend or irritate anyone anywhere ever. In 2025, I don't think any of us would survive half an hour with Sophie without getting the cut direct, but I bet that was also true in 1932.

Mildly confused by the six movies meme. I've seen movies I only kinda like six times. The movies I actually love I've watched once or twice a month for years. There aren't any good Persuasion (1995) gifs, regardless.

We just left the Ignite Theater company production of Hairspray (the musical) at the Grandel and it was so sweet, I cried multiple times.

I dismantled a CD player from 1993 trying to fix the wonky carousel. 2 hours later (and several leftover screws) I am greasy and sweaty, the carousel is still wonky, and MP3 players are still great.
I'm gonna go clean a toilet.

My wife was an only child. This album is 50 years old and still has her childhood address label on it. Listening to it tonight, it sounds brand new. My younger sister had a sleepover in 1987 and she and her punk friends threw my records at our bedroom walls in order to destroy my posters.

Tower Grove Farmers Market is full of pleasant people and cute dogs. There is much talking of football and the weather. I picked up a turkey from a farmer and I hugged a tree.

IKEA provided an amount of manual labor sufficient to ignore the outside world for two whole days. Dismantled a tank of a 90s stereo cabinet and replaced it with a stereo sideboard from IKEA. First time both of our record, cassettes and graphic novel collections have fit in the same spots. 🤓

I've been saving money for a lawyer in case Kim Davis got my marriage nullified, but I guess I'll give some cash to MTUG to buy some STL trans folks groceries instead. #PettyCrocker

The rack was empty this morning. We have to trim down regular fire wood to fit, but our tiny but mighty cast iron wood stove is now stocked for Winter.

Took a walk to have coffee talk with @lisarokusek.bsky.social and we founded a new group chat, a meditation circle, a consciousness raising book club, and a mutual aid tool library in an hour and a half. Lesbians: We get so much done in a day.

Stay at home vacay this week so I removed the Halloween decor and installed Thanksgiving. I'm thankful I'm still allowed to know that all humans are worthy of care and connection and I don't have to pretend it's just a belief. I'm uninterested in living under fascism, however that shakes out. ✊

That feeling when you arrive home after handing out Halloween candy to neighborhood kids for four hours in the cold (where you sipped four old fashioneds) and you go to open a new box of sleepytime tea to wind down.

As a big gay nerd with an extreme bummer for a father, I admit, I teared up during the intro to the first new Katamari Damacy game in 15 years, released today. I got the bonus edition with all the songs from former versions because they are worth it. 🌈

We are never beating the elderly cosplay allegations, but we're at the symphony for the first time since the addition was finished. ☕ We never miss a Prokofiev & Sibelius program. 🖤

I buy paper coffee cups and little sleeves so it feels like I got to go out for coffee but it's cheaper and faster and nobody coughs on me. Sometimes I write my name on it.
Sometimes I get too chummy with myself and I have to write the wrong name on purpose to keep me on my toes.
