My piano skills = rusty My sleep deficit = significant All of my sheet music = AWOL My joy = overpowering
Loving my grey after today's excellent cut by my favorite stylist- ... and then immediately crumbling into dust and bones as a child behind me confidently told her friend "I'm gonna make eighth grade my year!"
Oh and also, I got my opossum tattoo finished today, look at this exhausted scrimblo and their bimbinis.
My hometown movie theater has been doing RHPS midnight showings for decades, and there's one tomorrow night after the Pride parade & festival tomorrow. In trying to explain the phenomenon to my stepkiddo, I found this ancient relic of me at a summer showing in 2007. Not sure when/how I got old.
One of my musical mentors growing up passed away in May, shortly after her glioblastoma was diagnosed. I was privileged to sing at her funeral service on Friday, and today was the wake. Sue was a tremendous ally and a good friend, so I'm glad i got to honor her by being Very Gay with my wife.
The view of Mount Tahoma from the hotel I found by frantically searching Expedia for "queer friendly hotels near me" after first accommodations didn't work out allllllllmost makes up for the extra hour and a half in traffic this afternoon.
I contain multitudes, I'm currently both this guy and "my pibble and I have matching teal raincoats"
If you happen to be at The Church Cantina tonight, come say hello to this awkward goob & their lovely wife.
Gender of the day is a flatcap and my hair blessing me with fabulous lift.
Fuck capitalism, I just wanna teach shit and keep the bimbinis safe. *bimbinis = my stepdaughters, the queer and trans youth and young adults I mentor, my current and former English students, and everyone else in my communities this apocalypse says are disposable.
Welcome back to "Nori Sings Text Posts" which is apparently now a recurring feature? Enjoy! Or don't, I'm not your boss. Thanks to @bigmoodenergy.bsky.social for the lyrics & relatable subject matter!
01-01-21, day 1. 01-01-26, day 1826. Still here. Still standing. Happy New Year, be kind to yourselves.
A belated holiday gift, brought to you by my inability to keep from singing when these beautiful moments come across the skyline. Thanks to @bethanyblack.bsky.social and @direbeard.bsky.social for some cheer today.
As we wait out the last few days of a year that tried its best to defeat us in every way, let's spread some tenderness. Repost if you'd like, or react to this one and I'll tell you what I love most about YOU. <3
If by "radicalized" you mean "taught that all human beings (and some muppets) were worthy of love & dignity," then yeah.
Hey internet. I'm having A Time of it, and the doomscrolling isn't helping. I'm going to uninstall the bsky on my phone for a bit to see if I remember things like sunshine, & perhaps even reading a book. I'm not gone, just less online via the small internet rectangle. Be kind to each other. <3
She enthusiastically accepted. When the family was expecting their 3rd child in 2023, they asked Mom to be the baby's godmother as well. A few weeks before the baby was due, the family asked to name the baby after her. Yesterday was Baby Joanne's second birthday. Here she is with her namesake.
