I played through the Paper Mario: Thousand-Year Door remake for some middle-school nostalgia, and WOW. You’d never guess this gameplay is 20 years old! It is gutsy and funny and goes to surprising places…like an RPG version of Odyssey (my highest possible praise) […]

5+ years vegan and I’m happier than ever about the good food I eat and the good people who support me. Happy #worldveganday!
A colorful collage of 4 great foods I’ve eaten this year: spicy kraut hot dog, sprinkled chocolate donut, hummus and falafel salad plate, tofu ranchero skillet. All vegan, all in Cleveland.

Two cool super gay organizations have moved into #cleveland's Gordon Square Arcade: our chamber of commerce

Absolutely gorgeous 66° Saturday for the grand opening of #cleveland's Latina-owned coffee shop in Cudell and my e-bike errands 😊

If you want #heartstopper season 3 broken down into meaningful moments — maybe for a cathartic cry — this Proper Full-On Gay Podcast ep does the trick 💛🍃

We're fairly recent homeowners, but thousands of other Clevelanders have endured DECADES of living next to abandoned, rotting buildings. The county land bank just began its next round of 1,100 demolitions, and I'm feeling VERY lucky that this nuisance adjacent to our fence came down today!

Technically unrelated but just as stunning is this "Little Puerto Rico" mural and patio in Old Brooklyn, created by the owner of 787 Market & Cafe, which we got to visit. The Puerto Rican community gives so much to Cleveland's culture!
"Little Puerto Rico, Cleveland, OH" sign in front of painted green, pink, yellow, and blue facades with white trim. There are iron lamps, flower baskets, patio seating, a "Calle 787" marker, and a dog statue that makes it feel immersive and real. 787 Market building corner with blue awnings, grocery carts, and windows wraps depicting fruit

Today I had the incredible privilege to tour CentroVilla25, a decades-long dream come true for a Latino market hall and plaza in #cleveland's Clark-Fulton neighborhood. When it opens around December, it will host dozens of food/retail businesses and immediately […]

My total strength training time for 2024 already exceeds my 2023 and 2022 totals, and it's still only September! 💪 (Averaging 3.3 hours per week, close to my ideal of 4.)

Feeling extra proud because this is a virtuous cycle with my improved mental health. ☺️ My […]

Such dreamy staycation weather this weekend, perfect for both waterfronts and two of #cleveland's best community events: Fresh Fest and Rooms to Let

For every poor queer like me who was raised Catholic, Dayspring is radical healing. It's the erotic gospel of a mourning man who loved a crucified socialist named Jesus.

Before I even finished my library ebook, I knew I needed a print copy. Outstanding original work by @meakoopa.
Book cover: Dayspring by Anthony Oliviera From page 408: what are you doing what? where did you even get that hat it's a gardening hat! i'm gonna trick the magdalene with it when she comes to visit the tomb i'm gonna pretend to be the gardener and then i'm gonna go BOO! haha it's just me you're going to reveal the great mystery of conquering the grave with a prank also she is totally going to beat the shit out of you it's a very hilarious goof-'em-up like honestly if not now when this is basically an unprecedented chance for prankings i have some good ones in the chamber i think i feel like you think that just because you are god crammed into flesh that you get a pass for being just generally deeply weird as a person why would she fall for this? well she won't, you know, expect it i'll do an accent! she's known you for years she's not face-blind oh please she's super rich she won't even look twice at the gardener you're literally naked and covered with mortal wounds maybe i could hold like a shovel oh wow actually look how butch i look with this ...it's very trade i am not going to lie i missed you i missed you too

Lots of good news in #cleveland's Complete and Green Streets newsletter, including this new traffic calming in Collinwood, city engineers trained up on bike lane protections, and future waterfront plans.
