I doubt I was known for anything but I did create this meme which went mildly viral and I remain very proud of it to this day.
On 12/31 someone sent an email on a personal HR matter and accidentally CCed a 3000+ person mailing list and the “please remove me” reply-all chain is still going. This made my day.

When my son was about 5yo, he played with Holly Hunter’s twins at the Union Square playground for about 45 minutes. We were the only people there; she was with her partner. I successfully resisted the urge to approach her in any way.
Please quote this from the time you didn't interact with someone famous.
I was visiting with family in New Bedford, Massachusetts, at the same time that Mother Theresa was there visiting her Missionaries of Charity. The bishop held a Mass for her at the church where I was baptized. I didn't go.

Catching a train from Bristol Temple Meads, but they shifted the service along the platform because a scene from THE OUTLAWS was being shot where it would usually come in. The scene featured Christopher Walken and Stephen Merchant, but my train came before they shot it so I didn't see either of 'em.

Anyhow, it’s not just a show, I guess. So I’m watching all the stuff and going down the rabbit hole.
This one’s for all the gay kids who never lived to see this day. It’s for all those folks who died of AIDS cause governments thought them expendable. It’s for everyone who ever loved them.

I loved it. I cried 3x. All of the moments from the book that I had pictured in my head were there. It was perfect. Thank you Jacob Tierney.

And it exists because a gay Canadian man went to Hollywood, pitched it, got “yes, but make it tamer,” said FUCK NO, I’ll go HOME TO CANADA, and we will DO IT RIGHT.
And now we have this, this show, and this moment, and it was because my country at least understands love is love.

In NYC there are plenty of people who don't celebrate, and people who do, who dont have anywhere to go.
So as is our tradition, Anyone Comics in BK and Everyone Comics at Queensboro Plaza will be there to entertain from 12-5pm and handing out free books for those who feel left out!

low stakes posting today reminds me that 1) Facebook is for talking to people you know IRL but don’t like and 2) microblogging sites are for talking to people you don’t know but do like.

I still think the most treacherous thing Canada has done this year is produce an incredible (and sexy!) limited TV show based on a Canadian series of romance novels for a Canadian streamer better than any US entertainment production company could have done because they would have messed with the IP
