Terrible service at the stadium but I just saw BTS with @trixiebobixie.bsky.social, @ssinead.bsky.social, @bayleaves.bsky.social, and @uschickens.bsky.social, and this was our view without zoom!!! Incredible show! More later!!

At the airport having a breakfast sandwich and a peanut butter cookie before my flight to SF to see Woodz and hang out with @paintedmaypole.bsky.social, @katiegeeks.bsky.social, and @thelionforreal.bsky.social! I expect Woodz to be incredible, and it has been too long since I’ve seen this crew! 🥰

If we get all three in one pic I just might lose my mind!! And then I was thinking that Hudson and PP can match each other’s freak and aww poor quiet Juyeon just trying to keep up, but then I remembered these pics and I think he will probably be just fine.

The Boyz Juyeon sitting shirtless on a chair with his slutty back to the camera and his arms wrapped around the chair, just peeking over his shoulder in an inviting way

Juyeon selfie outside with his head tilted back and his mouth wide open , just ready for…whatever

Juyeon shirtless in black and white with the Eiffel Tower in the background , leaning back against a wall with his arm pulled back like its being held against the wall, and he is making very slutty eye contact

Juyeon selfie in a black tank top with a jacket slung over one shoulder, cap on with the brim pulled down over his eyes, and again he’s got his head tilted back and his mouth wide open

For the last couple years I’ve been really into walking in the woods, and that has been super good. But today I had occasion to randomly visit a new park in my area, and I realize I’ve been neglecting the beauty of the rocky beaches of Puget Sound.

A rocky beach in the foreground with the blue water of Puget Sound behind, some evergreen covered islands behind that, and a blue sky above with some puffy white clouds near the horizon. An evergreen covered hillside with houses and a train track are edging into the frame on the right.

It was my roommate’s 50th bday party yesterday, and she’s one of my oldest dearest friends so I helped her go all out. The theme of the party was “party” so I made a piñata and rented a bouncy house! It was a great time and I’m exhausted, but also exhilarated by human connection with good people. 🥰

Homemade piñata hanging from a tree branch in a back yard. It is a large ball covered in loops of multicolored crepe paper.

Inflated bouncy house in a backyard next to an old swingset. Both are in primary colors. The bouncy house is a small classic castle style with a little hole in one side to crawl into for entry. There are a couple blankets on the grass next to the tarp and bouncy house.

Here for Twice! I think my seat is pretty good? It’s an interesting stage configuration so I guess I’ll see how it works out!

We are at a McMenamins about to eat giant burgers and we ordered one of these to share. Bourbon, house-distilled whiskey, honey, fresh squeezed lemon, hot apple cider, cinnamon stick.

I made it to Key and no matter what fuckery this day brought my way—and there was some fuckery!—all I have to care about for the next couple hours is how much I love Key.

Saturday morning kitty time

Mugwort curled up between my legs on my quilt in bed. His paws are extended in front of his head and his nose is tucked between them but his eyes are half open and he’s making eye contact with the camera.

Oooh happy to supply! I couldn’t remember if you’ve settled on a Seventeen bias but I figured you wouldn’t be opposed to an adorable Mingyu/Seungkwan pic.

BTS Kim Namjoon looking adorable and yet also hot in a black tank top and beanie with his hands cupping his face. He is smiling a little and looking into the camera like he was caught unawares.

Txt Choi Soobin leaning back on a beige couch so his neck is extended. His hair is black and he’s smiling in a kind of lazy way.

Seventeen Mingyu and Seungkwan both smiling sort of awkwardly but they look super cute. Seungkwan is winking. They’re both wearing white with mics on.

My new phone with its exciting new amounts of storage ALSO means so much room for so many more pictures of my cat.

Made it to the Boyz! Took me 2 hours in rush hour traffic. 😭 And I might have to go in to work tomorrow instead of working from home. 😭😭 I had imaginary conversations with coworkers in my head the whole drive. 😭😭😭 But I’m here and I’m going to have fun and love them and be happy for a few hours!!

I was too knocked out by my shots yesterday to post, but it’s still Han Jisung day in the states so I’m gonna post some pics! My other best guy!

Han Jisung sitting on his best resting back on his hands behind him, against a white background. He is wearing black pants and a flouncy white blouse with big ruffles in front. His hair is chestnut and his waist looks impossibly tiny.

Closeup of Jisung’s head and shoulders, wearing a white top with red stripes around the collar and on the shoulders. He’s looking up through his glasses with his thumb on his lips. His hair is brown and he’s wearing fuzzy pink animal ears. He looks both sweet and sexy.

Jisung looking bro’d out in a white v-neck t-shirt with some very nice prominent collarbones showing. His hair is a little long and shaggy and he’s got a strip of red candy in his mouth.

Impossibly lovely Jisung in a gray striped sweater with his hand curled up under his chin. His hair is a little permed and fluffy and he’s smiling at someone to the right.

I know I don’t post about him a ton these days but Kim Namjoon is still my ult, forever my very best guy, and it makes me happy when he’s happy. I hope he’s had a great birthday.

BTS Kim Namjoon on stage, holding out his hand and looking with childlike wonder and excitement at the confetti falling around him

Namjoon in extreme closeup, just his face and a fringe of hair over his forehead. His hair is light golden brown and the lighting is golden and he is smiling and scrunching up his nose.

Screenshot of Namjoon on live, black hair, wearing a puffy winter coat and smiling with his hand cupping his chin and fingers covering half of his lower face.

Namjoon laughing exuberantly in golden lighting with buzzed hair

Sending 💜💜💜💜💜 to you and here are two recent pictures of my very pretty and cute cat, Mugwort.

Just saw @chucktingle.bsky.social and he was so fantastic. That felt GOOD. Here is where I say I’ve never actually read any of his books (yet!) but I went as a fan of Chuck Tingle the philosopher of art and life. I so wish my dad was here to know about him. I think he’d be into Chuck’s whole thing.

Just finished a birthday walk by a river, thinking about seeing a movie. When I get home I have the best vegan cheese and macaroni and smoky greens waiting for me, from the amazing vegan soul food restaurant, courtesy of my roommate.

The best thing about being home is enjoying a sunny but temperate day. Went for a walk in the arboretum, now enjoying some weed and fic on our back deck. There’s a gentle, mild breeze and wind chimes somewhere nearby. Really quite idyllic!!
