Once David Sedaris told me I looked handsome and sad. An effete, strident, bicoastal (both sides of the Delaware River) queer. Same name on IG⬆️📸 He/him. 🏳️‍🌈
Everyone is going to be circling back on work tasks tomorrow, but the don’t know I’m a different person now. This is post-cottage Zach you’re talking to.

The Critics Choice Awards are so silly.*

*unless they’ve invited the boys from Heated Rivalry to present an award

Bereft of gay hockey yearning, I watched Rupaul's Drag Race: Florida Drift just to try to feel something.

Committing war crimes for oil? Civil rights erosion in the name of “patriotism?” A shitty economy your conservative family pretends doesn’t exist? A deeply unpopular regime democrats can’t seem to leverage?

Baby, the Bush era is back!

Kicked off the year with a reading I found on Instagram, inspired by my telenovela. Thanks 3am.tarot.

In short: I trouble myself by picking fights over superiority, get caught up in rules and rigid traditions, and need to lean into the softness and grace of pleasure and nurturing others.

May it ™️ happen this year.

Happy New Year everyone!

Ok pop off E**** ***k.

Quick rewatch of Heated Rivalry ep5 at the gay NYE party before we properly celebrate.

Books, I've read a few. I got through 74 this year in a pretty meh year for reading quality(for me.) But still there were some highs, and I’d love to offer 15 reading experiences that hit hard for one reason or another and that I’d highly recommend picking up. Check out the post to learn more.
A Year In Reading
I'm back. Sorry I was gone.

I know it’s passé, but I just did my 1000th peloton ride. And this little machine has helped keep me maintain a modicum of sanity over the past couple years.

I'm slowly getting back into running with some reasonable, fun goals for 2026. Can everyone drop their fave running playlists/songs so I can fortify my list? I like high energy, poppy songs - the kind you'd see E**** ***k dancing to in memes.

Putting together my best books of the year list, and it was a very B/B+ year. Gonna need a little more from 2026.

Oh baby, the next Heated Rivalry is writing itself.
British Ice Skating (BIS), the governing body for ice skating in the U.K., will allow same-sex pairs to compete starting in the 2026–27 season #NOH8

I was the tour guide for the cast of The Real World Boston when they visited my university to stay there for the national service summit. Some were better than others.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Defused tension at a family gathering by pulling up birth charts on my phone and telling everyone the exact reasons they were crazy based on their sun/moon/rising combinations.

I don’t know why I just assumed the Bills would kick a PAT and go to overtime, but I went and took the garbage out and missed this. Lmao. Go Birds!
The Eagles defense holds. Bills lose and the Patriots win the AFC East.

Every single one of the "E**** ***K missing her husband" memes is SO funny. Not since the "you'll never see me again" meme era has the quality been so consistent.

I talked with others in the collective psychosis about how a couple of queer hockey dudes saved 2025 and may change the queer entertainment landscape.

Just recorded this and felt all the feelings.
Today @ianxcarlos.bsky.social @mythtaken314.bsky.social @itsonlyzach.bsky.social + @joeorgana.bsky.social are recording an episode on Heated Rivalry, which will hopefully go up shortly after the recording finishes 🏒🏒🏒

Ilya Rozanov’s willingness to devastate Boston sports fans makes him even hotter.

Gotta sleep soon and will check out the cottage in the morning.

Have yourself a merry little everything from our family to yours.

It simply cannot be overestimated just how wildly the composers of "Lo, How a Rose E're Blooming" absolutely freaked it when they threw that together.

What am I going to do when I'm no longer getting my lil Heated Rivalry press tour content videos of the day? It's like my own lil chemistry news report sent to me every morning.

I'm so scared and sad in advance. I'm going to need something else to become obsessed with.
