Father, #LGBTQ ally, software engineer, theater tech all-rounder, pet dad figuring out how to smash the patriarchy and make a safe, welcoming space for all.
My daughter and I were watching Alien (again) and in this scene, she blurted out, “I’m so glad I’m never going to space. Or Australia.” Yes this is how we imagine what living in Australia, where everything can kill you, must be like.

Pride month might be over but let the pride rage on. This 🌈 is from drying off from an afternoon shower.

Saw this on Reddit. You matter today, even if you aren't visible to anyone other than yourself. #tdov #trans #lgbtq

Seems the US Govt not following its own guidelines from the Board of Geographic Names on name changes (d9-wret.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/assets/palla...), especially with respect to local use. We should all submit requests to change back to Gulf of Mexico on the grounds of local use.

Cooking tip of the day: if you have a new splinted finger you need to keep clean and dry, don’t plan on preparing an orange and beet salad for dinner (with cat for scale).

I'm not all gloom and doom news. I've seen this game in person but haven't played it. It looks fantastic, with great artwork and deep storytelling. Also, one trans and several queer characters in this cooperative legacy game. I hope to play it sometime. renegadegamestudios.com/artisans-of-...
