First home improvement project on the books. Committing to my town in a time of strife and uncertainty.

Trying not to get my gloom all over these California poppies.

I'm TERRIBLE at shooting live music bc I feel bad doing so (even in the year of our dark lord 2025) + I'm usually having too good a time to do so. Last night #kimdeal played the entirety of her extraordinary solo debut at the Fillmore and I managed to capture this killer Breeders encore for you.

I miss posting this kind of stuff on Insta so I'm gonna put it here but make it political: I'm 53 and queer and married to a Korean-American but I have no intention of being invisible or going anywhere quietly because look how cute my hair is today.

#AmySherold exhibit at #SFMoMA. A little art bathing this weekend did my everything good.

It's Feb. 7 so I guess I can take down my holiday cards now. Here's this year's delightful haul. They make me so happy when I see them.

My first nail art manicure ever and they're like little paintings! Based on a pendant that belonged to my late aunt Esther, this treat comes to me courtesy of an early birthday gift from @badkorea.bsky.social and done by Vanessa at Just the Tips in Oakland.

My barf emoji is being used so often it's starting to dry heave. (And yes I have Taco Bell notifications enabled on my phone. I dare you to judge my filthy cravings in this economy.)

The bottom of my curbside recycling today. I'm holding on to my sandman omnibus editions because they were gifts and because all those amazing illustrators deserve better. Read more women, everyone. I'd suggest starting with #KellyLink

This is why I usually work from home.

This scene in my neighborhood the other day perfectly sums up my usual monthslong Halloween hangover. The fact that it's up on a tall and therefore inaccessible post gives it that special frisson of 2025 flavor. @badkorea.bsky.social
