I like how #Apple keeps trolling the annoying people on the right. #crossword #bipride #bisexualpride

Had a wonderful birthday weekend in #Chicago!

Another stupid move by this administration. #libraries #librarians www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Welcome to my #Chicago #birthday weekend!

Cannnnnot wait! Loved the first season.

I don’t think my traveling to #Chicago today had anything to do with Pope Leo XIV being elected … chicago.suntimes.com/religion/202...

Another day, another #Breezeline outage. This is not good. 8 hours on Saturday and at least 3 today so far.

Another shot - and another brave driver attempting (& succeeding) to drive down a flooded street. #Miami

It rained quite hard for a few hours today - there was so much rain it went over the road and into the parking lot in some places. Fortunately, I’m not going anywhere. #Miami

The only empathy I feel for these people is that they truly believed it would impact others and never imagined it would impact their lives and livelihoods.

Wow - just saw Ryan Coogler’s new film Sinners. The only thing that detracted from the movie were the two women next to us who could not seem to shut the fuck up for even 5 minutes. Other than that, it’s a masterpiece. youtu.be/7joulECTx_U?...

For all you Parker Posey lovers (& haters), she starred in a scripted police procedural called Hunted. Check it out!

Internet has been out for 1.75 hours so far and looks like it’ll be out for a couple more hours at least. Good time to put down the mobile devices (which I’m on right now) and pick up a #book! #Internetoutage #ohno #internetoutagenotoutrage

I would literally go into a food coma after eating at Leona’s. Now that I wrote that, it seems inappropriate but RIP Mr. Toia!

Wow. This is terrible. When I was a much younger gay, her music helped open up so many closed minds. RIP Joll Sobule! variety.com/2025/music/n...

I hope I can catch this show while I’m in #Chicago! www.wbez.org/arts/2025/05...

F Around and Find Out!!

#1sed #1secondeveryday for April 2025: Read a very cool graphic novel (among other books), long walks, visited Ft Lauderdale a couple times to see friends, work, work, and more work.

Reading The Bell in the Fog by @levacrosen.bsky.social and this passage struck me as following in my general philosophy that there are two emotions: love and fear. If you are not acting out of love, you are acting out of fear. The passage follows:

I read that the great Priscilla Pointer passed at 100 years old. She was an amazing actress and mother to Amy Irving. RIP🙏🏻

Who do I have to fuck to get someone on the phone at the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles office? No matter what time of day you call, “all agents are busy.”

A word about the measles trend.

Maybe I shouldn’t be this excited but I just booked an appointment to get my hairs cut by my ole #barber in #Chicago since I’ll be there for my birthday!

One thing I miss about #Instagram, well two things: the connections I had there who have not found their way here (or don’t plan to) and these #nostalgia (probably #AI created) accounts with videos set to music about places and seasons in past decades.

On a walk I take regularly, I pass by this lovely wind chime caught in a tangle of Spanish moss.

Drove up to Ft Lauderdale #FLL today to see my friends Jason and Billy - this is a pic of me and Jason at their friend MF’s afternoon party in Flagler Village. Who copied who with the mustaches??

Ok, Conclave movie, I see what you did there.

If I was Zelenskyy and had to meet with the 🍊 💩, I would need a Valium before the meeting. Z should get the Nobel Peace Prize just for having to endure those conversations.

I love spring in #Chicago - after the sometimes dreariness of winter, the colors start popping and the temperatures rise ever so slightly.

I did some searches on this site in my area & found one of the places on the pro-MAGA map is a restaurant I have been to & like. It’s called Guadalajara and it’s in Pinecrest. One of many places to avoid! The makers of this site prob didn’t imagine people would use it to boycott companies. #50501

Grifter, pathological liar, fraudster. Have fun in prison, hunty. apple.news/AWQAKfKURTG2...

Florida is so weird. Dead leaves are falling from trees like it’s autumn or something.

Another reprehensible act from #DOGE and this administration. www.governing.com/policy/major... #databases #information

My home / work set up. The desk was … expensive but I spend at least 3 of 5 work days at home so I wanted a bigger desk. I like to have fresh cut flowers - helps the environment feel more organic. #WFH

The spectacular Glistening-Green Tanager at Doña Dora #Colombia #birds #nature 🌿

There is something comforting when I listen to certain podcasts or songs. I used to listen to @thisamericanlife.org regularly on the train / bus ride to work in Chicago and got out of the habit. I started back up whilst taking a walk yesterday and felt like I was wrapped in a warm embrace. #NPR

My retirement accounts view over a 30-day period look suspiciously like an afib ecg.

How many of you work with someone you would classify as ‘shrill’? Someone whose voice is so ugh and you get a sinking feeling every time you get a call or email from them?

A visit to Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden with my friend Ed today. It was extremely crowded due to Easter 🐣.
