Can't believe this Odyssey movie isn't historically accurate

That tire bald like Howie Mandel

Got damn

Good splashes at the dog park on

Awww thank you! I famously do not feel great about how I look, but at this point so many smoldering hot people have told me I'm good lookin' that I am doing better at recognizing that my perception is what is flawed and that I am actually conventionally attractive. So seriously, thank you.

I honestly work really hard not to overthink this stuff. There are plenty of people who know me by name and light up when they see me but they don't follow me back on here. It's fine. We all need to be a bit more normal about not associating follow/moot status as meaningful on its own.

I'm sorry, that sucks absolute ass. I didn't get to take part in our pride parade this year either (for different reasons) and it was a huge bummer. But depending on how far north you are, this smoke has real health impacts... I'm happy you're going to be safe. That's what matters.

Hyperion, by Dan Simmons. Fairly famous, it's basically a far out sci-fi Canterbury Tales. I've read it before but it was like 20 years ago, and I never read the other 3 books. I'm also just a sucker for a good Canterbury Tales tbh.

Got a haircut, edged up and trimmed the scruff, felt cute, took a selfie for the gays and the theys

Got absolutely stupid good seats for Lou City vs Lexington from my boss. Haven't been to a game in-person in ages!

Guess I'm changing the bed today

Excellent job hiding. Nobody will find you here.

Look at this little goob I'm watching for a friend

A good friend I've had since my college days got married today. Unfortunately his new bride eventually had to leave to go to the bathroom so I stole him back.
