Such an accidentally cool photo from the power outage we had in SF last month. The only thing out of place is the red flashlight, and that's easily fixed if Photoshop has anything to say about it.

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.
