Pic of me, I'm a white masc dude with short hair brown hair and a beard. I'm wearing a pink T-shirt shirt (bc real men wear pink) and there is a beach tent and a beautiful sky in the background. Being the beach my cheeks are a little red, I clearly did not apply enough sunscreen

The tags are really the perfect cherry on top of the article
Screenshot of tags on the quoted article. Reads "Brianna Wu - Leor Sapir - Lia Smith - Middlebury College - Threats That Aren't Actionable - I Haven't Been in a Fight Since High School - Internet Drama - Porsche"

I then followed that up with a quick trip to the beach just to walk and put my feet in the water
A picture of a sandy beach with gentle waves lapping on the shore. The sunset is coloring the sky with a gentle pink. There are some sky rats (seagulls) in the foreground along the shore A picture of the ocean with the sunset coloring the horizon slightly pink. Waves, gently crash along the shore

Went into Boston proper for an event today and on my way to the train station. I saw these little babies. They're so cute!!!

You know pride has everything from leather gays to furries to the most fabulous people you will ever meet, even gay fish and gay robots. Best day ever even in the rain!
A person with a leather puppy mask carrying a don't tread on me pride flag on their back, a Palestinian flag pinned to their front, and is holding a cardboard sign with the slightly runny letters of fuck fascism in bold on it A black person in Red heels and a beautiful flowing dress that is in the color of the rainbow. It starts on their body in red and then changes to the lighter colors on a giant flowing train behind them. They are putting their hand to their ear and leaning towards us in the crowd like they're asking us to cheer louder for them, which we happily obliged 😁 A truck of the New England aquarium with large rainbow jellyfish in the truck bed and a sign on the side of the truck that says "healthy aquatic life thrives on diversity and so do human societies" A small Four-Legged robot resembling a dog with a little pride tutu attached to it walking in the pride parade

My fave owl in a towel: owlsintowels.org/grace-is-del...
A brown owl wrapped in a towel. She has a very displeased expression on her face that says "why did you do this to me?!?!"

I was in Providence today for my haircut (bc I cannot find a barber in Boston I like) but also at Heartleaf for Indie Bookstore day! I got to say hi to Penny and got a whole bunch of new books
Penny the Manager (bookstore cat) of Heartleaf Books in Providence, RI. She is a grey cat with a purple collar sitting on a shelf under a table. Her back is to us, she was hiding away from people to take her break from managering, it's very hard work My book haul stacked up in a stack with larger books at the bottom and smaller ones on top. From top to bottom: On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder, Log Off by Catherine Cross, Protect Bookstores by Denny Caine, Feminist Antifascism by Ewan Majewska, The Color of Law by Richard Rothstein, Disability Intimacy by Alice Wong, Braiding Sweet grass by Robin Wall Kimmerer, Let This Radicalize You by Kelly Hayes and Mariame Kaba, Scarred by L. Ayu Saraswati, Monumental Lies by Robert Bevan, and Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams. It was a tall stack it was pretty close to my chin but not quite Another picture of the haul form the bookstore. I have 2 "I met Penny at Heartleaf Books" bookmarks with Penny pictured. A cute sticker of a cat with a book. A Rhode Island license plate sticker with BOOKS on it. And 3 I ❤️ my indie bookstore stickers for indie bookstore day

Same here can't wait for the courtyard weather. I've been busy, I miss passing by Art and Science on the way in
A picture of a statue at the front entrance of the Boston Public Library main branch. The statue is a representation of Art as a woman on a chair with a painter's pallet in one hand and a brush in the other. She is wearing a dress reminiscent of ancient Greek dress, almost as an oracle or a muse. A picture of a statue at the front entrance of the Boston Public Library main branch.
