PRE-DUSTY Barbizon-style posing. I loved that cherry wood marimba & had quite an era with it. Woulda been a great Dusty talent for a pageant or variety show, but WHO has room for a concert-sized marimba in an SF Apt. (unless it’s also a dinner table)? Can you imagine the $ to ship it across the US?

#PansyDivision’s 1000th SHOW at #BottomoftheHill 🔻 EPIC Queer History! 👏 It was wonderful to dance with the hoard & cheer on #JonGinoli & the band…30 songs & 6 encores! 👊 (My gams are TIRED.) The GORG #BevRage&theDrinks from Chicago opened the show! Queer Punk is more essential than ever now. 🖤

HAPPY 175th SF! 💖 Thanks @illuminatethearts.bsky.social for shining light on City Hall & Civic Center. It was beautiful, hopeful & brought people together in wonder & gratitude. 👏 I’m proud to call this city HOME, even if it’s complicated at times. We enjoyed capturing photos from many angles.

San Diego has the largest outdoor musical instrument in the world, the #SpreckelsOrgan! I teared up to #Edelweiss in the #SoundOfMusic Medley played by Spanish organist #RaúlPrietoRamírez! His concert also featured Debussy, Bach, Liszt & Frank. It was a charmed, blue sky day too. 🩵☀️ #BalboaPark

And the entire collective Queer SF Bay Area GASPS & clutches their pearls! 😮 In all seriousness this engineering feet feels worthy of a day trip. I’ve never seen it in my 32 years here. 🕳️ Also, YAY to all the rain flowing. Being farther from that drought sure feels better. 🩵 Thanks @sfchronicle.com!

HAPPY ST. PAT’S (& St. Gertrude of Nivelles) DAY! ☘️ May you have some good luck, or slide down a well-oiled Queer rainbow to a pot ‘o something you wish for, or a CAT! 🐈⬛ 7+ years ago I donned this GREEN doo (a #HeddaLettuce Hand-Me-Down), and it didn’t make me any more envious than I already was.💚

I felt SO seen in the recent #NYTCrossword! (Props to #The3Contraltos too!) At first I worried “midrange” meant in quality. 👀 LOL. Thankfully, it was just vocal range. 👏 Who is your favorite Alto? I often first think of #KathleenFerrier, also a #contralto. Her woodwind-like tone is so affecting. 🎵

The #AmySherald exhibit at #SFMoma was stunning, and a meaningful way to HONOR #IntlWomensDay. 🎨 Her vision is so impactful and moving. I’m grateful to have experienced it before it closes. The colors, textures, stories, and challenging of societal and artistic norms… 🩷
