My favorite painting in the world, "The Battle of Issus" 1529 by Albrecht Altdorfer, apparently also makes a great Zoom background (whether or not he'd approve).

It's been almost 2 months since my sweet kitty Cirrus passed. He brought light and joy to my life, and it'll never be the same without him. ❤️

We had a great time at Great America yesterday, squeezing in one last visit before the park closes for all eternity 😔

Day 9: Queer Sci-Fi Pick 🌈📚
Escape Velocity by Victor Manibo — a locked-room mystery in orbit with sharp commentary on power, privilege, and queerness. It might honestly be the only sci-fi I’ve read, but it hooked me!
What’s your queer sci-fi fave?

I'm proud to announce the release of three new short stories, now available as an eBook entitled "Three Short Stories of Reflection and Connection." When taken together they're a quick read, but stirring and emotional. It's available on Amazon, Kobo and Barnes & Noble. #sciencefictionbooks

Miguel and I played a little pool at the Emporium on Divisadero last night. I'm proud to say we each won 2 games, and they all came down to only a couple remaining balls. Whew! 🎱 #emporiumsf #pooltable #billiards

Manufactured Dec 11, 2014...it took me 10.5 years to get through this one roll of Costco plastic wrap. I should probably put the next two rolls in my will in case I don't live long enough to use them.
