What a day! Got to share the stage with these amazing people!

Thank you to @lgbtmontana for putting on a great TDoV event, to everyone who gave moving speeches, & to my fiancée, @erininthemorning, who I get to share this & every day with.

Missoula really is the best 🥰

Hey! Queer writers! Do you have a book you'd like to get in front of a loving audience? How about donating a signed copy to the Western Montana LGBTQ Center. We have an extensive library but are in desperate need of new voices. Reach out to me if you are interested.

Honored and humbled. Thank you @emergejournal.bsky.social and @dianegotauthor.bsky.social

Two years of marriage today! @katoscope.bsky.social you rocked my world and I'm thankful every day that we found each other. I love you!

I wish I could wrap my arms around anyone who thinks it won't get better. I want to tell them it can and it does. It doesn't always play out how we imagine or without a deviation in decisions but unexpected leaps of faith can bring on a life beyond your wildest imagination.
