We’ll celebrate properly this weekend, but today marks 26 years that I’ve been blessed to have @apollosdad.bsky.social in my life. Here’s to many more years, and more dinners at Annie’s! #anniversary #queerlove

It was a good movie weekend. 🍿 We so rarely go out to the theater these days, but it was necessary for these!

Last week I finished up this very long (10’!) wrap which is the Night Lights pattern by @dreareneeknits.bsky.social. Easy to make with visual impact, I’d definitely try it again.
The yarns I used are Dixville DK in “Black Cherry” & Urth Harvest Worsted in “Blueberry.” #knitting #gayknitter

1. One of my favorite theatre venues in DC, the company too.
2. The music and performances were great*
3. The pre-show blood warning left me wanting… more!!! 🪓🩸🪓🩸🪓🩸
*the sound was mixed so poorly I couldn’t understand over half the lyrics. I can’t speak to the quality of the book.

It’s very interesting. And it’s very chaotic. I bound off early after making too many brioche mistakes. There’s really only one thing I don’t like about the design, and it’s that straight line between sections 1 and 3. Otherwise, I dig the vibe. #MysteryMusiKAL #westknits #knitting #MKAL2025

This is so dumb and shortsighted. But hard to expect anything else when you let DDOT be the governing body. 🙄
DC’s stricter new outdoor dining rules go into effect November 30. Many restaurants plan to tear them down altogether.

Appropriately, Garbodor Max Battle Day in Pokemon Go has been garbage. Two remote raids pooped out due to network errors.

It's official: MY BAD: A PERSONAL HISTORY OF THE QUEER 90S AND BEYOND has a cover! I love how the yellow feels like a run over hazard sign, and the mixtape is perhaps my personal 90s icon. As for those sexy statues? You'll have to read it to find out...

We always love a casual fun day at the Maryland Renaissance Festival, but the best days are like yesterday - cool, maybe with rain, and less crowds. Got to see 2 of our close friends perform their shows as well! @apollosdad.bsky.social #mdrf

The hair is thinning. My eyes are struggling. My hip hurts everyday. But today is my 50th birthday and I’m in a generally good place, all things considered, and that’s a gift. ☺️

I gave myself a sewing challenge to try a dress pattern, and chose the Wrap Dress from a Great British Sewing Bee book. And she’s finished!
There were tears, but I learned a lot. Invisible zip! Gathered sleeves! Facings! Understitching! Definitely worth it.

Rocky Horror aficionados used to attend screenings of the film over and over to take notes on the details. Accurately mirroring every line and dance move has gotten easier over time.
