Queer, complex, and caffeinated. ✨🏳️🌈✨
My Apple Watch battery is hardly making it through my day, and now dying during my runs at night.
I think it’s time to explore a non-Apple alternative. What other watches have folks enjoyed? I specifically don’t want a watch that looks like an early 2000’s scientific calculator.

Not to mention it’s pretty tasty.
The great thing about my grandma’s Busy Day Cake is that you can make the batter in the time it takes your husband to get ready to run, it bakes for the duration of his run, and is ready to eat by the time he’s showered.

My least favorite running time of year. Gotta pull the neon lite up vest by 5:30 PM.

This morning it was 40 degrees and sunny which meant the 4” inseam running shorts stayed on. Not ready for winter running.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Just finished Lavender House by Lev AC Rosen! It was a cute, queer whodunit that made me laugh and cry. It was a pretty easy read, with a set of compelling characters embracing found family. @desmoineslibrary.bsky.social

The spookiest thing about today so far was being able to bus to the DOT to renew my ID, early vote AND bus back to work in 90 minutes.

Wait, I finished my read at home book and my read on the bus book basically at the same time. This has never happened before.
Does anyone else read different books for different settings?

A haven’t taken a “backpack” selfie in a while. Glad I looked presentable for what I thought was a community focused event. Turns out it was geared towards donors and oh did I stick out think a sore thumb.

Reminder that you don’t have to screenshot and repost AI generated slop. By doing that you’re actually proving it has value, especially on social media where views and clicks seem more important than the actual content.
Ignore that shit and move on with your day.

I literally met someone earlier today with a swastika tattoo on the back of their hand. 😳 I’m somehow not suprised, while also being shocked.
