Now that I have your attention, I’ll be running in a 5K to raise money during the Dolphins Cancer Challenge on February 22. I’m raising funds for cancer research to participate. Please follow the link to donate:

There goes my hard work. Hernia repair yesterday. Taking it easy today… and for a few weeks.

Happy 2025*

Quick 6.64 mile Christmas Eve run

My dog, Thor, has claimed my @chrislopezstudio.bsky.social holiday pillow as his own.

Everyone has their favorite Christmas movie moment. Sometimes it’s “Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings”. For others, it’s the “mankind was my business” monologue from Christmas Carol.

Those are fine, but this one’s my favorite:

Your annual reminder that Cindy Lou is currently the frontman of a hard rock group, “The Pretty Reckless”.

I had the infamous Batman one handed down from one of my older siblings. I probably broke it, sadly.

Charlie Hunnam as Ed Gein is reminding me why everyone always just assumed I’d eventually get killed by one of my crushes.

Visibility is a form of resistance. This is especially true for trans people… but being visible can be difficult if not dangerous at times. The ones that choose to be visible have my utmost respect.

I hate how perfect the meme work for this era.

The gays™️ after leaving Twitter and joining BlueSky:

Celebrating my 44th and wonder what the future will hold.

Maybe I’ll do some good with my friends for the right people.

Or just be a problem for the wrong people.

Because, when everything else is gone, “spite” isn’t the worst motivation.

Either way, expect more tats!

With so much anger right now, it helps to break out the Xmas music early.

Hi guys! Gay Gen Xer, here. Raised between military bases and the farmlands of MO, I came out as a teen in an area and era when teens weren’t supposed to come out.

Used to do rodeo. Now I’m just old and watch films, but I still have a passion for my queer community.
