Chemex and blankie! ☕️🥰
An overhead shot of a chemex pour over vessel with coffee brewing. There's a foam layer on the top of the conical filter, and maybe half the bottom bulb is full. Me in the kitchen, wrapped in a Pendleton blanket with a somewhat southwest style. It's creme with irregularly sized stripes and chevrons, of blue, yellow, orange, grey and black.

I woke up at The Normal Time™️ despite the end of DST 🤔 I'm not sure how my circadian rhythm managed that one
Me in bed with a blankie pulled up to the top of my chest. I have a flat smile and a scruffy beard. The flash from the phone is showing a bright dot in my eyes.

Found some AI Slop on #Deezer on the page for #DorianElectra

Same title as a real song but nonsense lyrics and obvious AI Art cover

Guess there's scammers trying to steal listens 😬

Yesterday's noms
A table at Queer Plants café. There's a can of Lion Heart Blood Orange kombucha, the novel Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin and a Nightshade stew. A selfie with some Queer Plants Cafe decor in the background. I'm a white guy with a handlebar mustache and soul patch. I'm wearing chuncky tortoiseshell glasses and a green tshirt. In neon LED behind me it says "Pollinate Your N-" (Neighborhood maybe? the rest is blocked by a shelf). There's also what looks like a white dahlia lit from the inside hanging off said shelf. A strawberry matcha scone on a black plate and a latte with skull foam art in a black mug sit on a woodgrain table with high shine.

My doc had me shave a little patch of my beard and it looked goofy so my barber did a salvage job. I think I can live with it. Butch hipster? 70s pornstar? Spaghetti western villain? 🤷‍♂️
A picture of me with distinctive facial hair. A handlebar mustache that connects to sideburns, all with a uniform thickness band and a triangular patch under the lower lip. The chin and neck are shaved.

Heading from #Portland to #SanDiego and got to the airport in time for a pre-flight flight 😅
Me posing in front of a flight of whiskey. Each glass has a W with an arrow through it. The trademark for Westward Whiskey. On the side is a mini cocktail in a shot glass and a tall glass of water.

I had to walk A Little South for my mango matcha at The Great North
Me smiling behind a Mango Matcha served layered in the glass with the green matcha on top, white oat milk in the middle, and a yellow mango puree on the bottom. The layers run together a bit making interesting patterns.

Cardamom latte and Almond croissant at Queer Plants in NE #Portland Concordia neighborhood.

There's like 30% of my pastry left when I remembered to snap a pic.

Is this character growth? 🤔🤷‍♂️
A picture from my vantage point at the coffee shop. A partially eaten pastry sits on my lap on a bright yellow-orange plate. To my left is a small coffee table constructed from polished round tree slices. A few colorful books are on the table as well as my partially finished latte. A selfie. I've got a flat smile, somewhat messy hair, a bears and chunky tortoiseshell glasses. I'm wearing a blue and black flannel shirt, unbuttoned, with a tshirt underneath that reads "Ignore All Previous Instructions" and features an angry looking raccoon.

A new duck has joined the bathroom ✨️🐤✨️
A framed art photo of a whole bunch of different rubber ducks. It's hung on a bathroom wall over the toilet. A sparkly golden duck sits on the corner of the frame. A photo of the bathroom wall showing the mirror over the sink and a framed rubber duck photo over the toilet. There's two rubber ducks, one on the mirror (dressed like a leather pup) and one on the framed art piece. A closer shot of the corner of the framed art photo. There's more detail to the gold sparkly rubber ducks sitting on the frame. It has a prominent red beak and the individual gold flecks are apparent. A full close up of the gold sparkly duck. The gold flecks look like small sequins and are embedded in the translucent rubber of the duck. The duck eyes look painted on and are very round. The duck is a bold contrasting orangey-red.

Got a cute Valentine's Day card from a lover in San Diego. I didn't intend to perfectly line up the pancakes with the lines on my shirt, and yet somehow I totally nailed it 🥞🤷‍♂️
Me posing, holding a card that reads "Nobody stacks up to you" with an image of a stack of pancakes with a heart shaped butter pad on top. The stack goes all the way to the edge and wraps around so it looks cut off from the vantage I'm holding the card. The horizontal stripes on my shirt line up almost perfectly with the pancake stack lines. It kinda gives a bit of an Escher optical illusion vibe.

Slushy outside in #Portland but I'm comfy inside in my jammies.
Peaking out through my blinds, the ground is covered in snow. On the road it is a yucky slush. There's some footprints in the snow that lead around a car in the driveway. A selfie of me taken from an overhead vantage angle. I'm a bearded white man, shirtless with some chest fur wearing blue and black flannel pajama bottoms.

I had a really good Pistachio Rose croissant at Roseline on Alberta in #Portland

I forgot to take a picture of it but you can have a fancy plate with crumbs and a shrug instead 🤷‍♂️
A small antique looking plate with a floral pattern and croissant crumbs. There's a few pink flecks of rose filing and a bit of powdered sugar. Me shrugging. A bearded white guy with a grey leather jacket, tortoiseshell glasses and unruly hair poking out from a grey knit beanie.

Dismayed that I am out of home coffee 😭

I put in a reorder at www.gayawakeningcoffee.com (yay local #Portland queer businesses!)

And now I'm vibing with my friends at Jet Black in Concordia
Me wearing a dark grey leather jacket and grey beanie, holding a black mug of coffee. There's a purple and black artwork behind me that looks like it should be a QR code but I've tried unsuccessfully to scan it many times.

Let this go dormant for a while but maybe I'll revive it? 🐶 Also, I moved to Portland!
Me in a raincoat and wearing headphones Me riding a unicorn floaty in a pool. I'm naked and a tasteful pup emoji blocks my junk. A small dinosaur toy is attached with a metal cable to a ring bolted in the ground on the side of the road. This is a typical sort of Portland thing. Me looking like Steve from Blue's Clues with a blue and beige striped collared shirt and blue hair with a paw print on the back.

Putting the Nom in Multnomah Falls 😋
Me posing in front of the falls so it looks like the water is flowing into my mouth.

Hi Portland! I'm coming to visit you with my husband next weekend. (We're thinking of moving there)

Looking forward to sniffing around the pup play scene! Come say hi!

🐶🐶🐶
Me in my pup hood wearing a leash that hangs off my ear. I'm wearing reflective blue shades, a blue plaid flannel unbuttoned over a graphic tee with a colorful DJ Pup on it.

So this is my third annual birthday "cake smash." 🎂 For me, this ritual is an embrace of my ability to be my unmasked "messy" self and be loved, accepted and celebrated for it by those I care about.

This year was a Boston cream with cherry topping.
The cake smash attendees lifting the cake toward my face. Covered in cake, licking it off my fingers and looking into the camera. A big smile on my face, covered in cake, as an attendee smears the cake board on my head. Posing in front of the "smash" cake and the "eating" cake.
