Got dragged to an escape room by @pauline and her queers. We escaped, but only because of some accidental sequence breaking at the very end.

I went to a wedding in Chicago!

How did the midwestern football set handle the west coast Doll?

Mostly avoidance! A lot of fleeting eye contact. Zero acknowledgement of the change except for one guy who declared himself “too busy” to bother with my pronouns. 🤣

I’m not upset: this was done for science. (But I am amused)

I went to San Diego Comic-Con this year, and while I didn’t cosplay, I did theme my outfit.

I failed to get my Supergirl WoT comic signed, though—ten years of SDCC and I still couldn’t follow all the hoops and queues. Oh well, super hopeful for the movie next year!

Pauline hauled me out to Ezra Furman at the Great American Music Hall last night. The Ophelias opened. Both were tremendous shows. Afterwards, a brisk stroll through the saddest artery of the Tenderloin ending at the edges of the Transgender District.

No fainting this time!

Fainting at a Nine Inch Nails concert wasn’t on my 2025 Bingo card. 🤣 I blame the red and blue, three-dimensional death beam they fired into our eyes. @pauline and Aaron did a marvelous job of guiding my on-again-off-again consciousness from the arena. All in all, still a really fun night. 🥰

Pauline held a small dinner party, and somehow managed to fit me on the guest list. I love a good home-cooked tagine. 🥰

Got called in last minute on Friday for an art museum assist by @pauline. It was my third visit to the Ruth Asawa exhibit at the SF Museum of Modern Art, and I still found myself enthralled for hours by the artist’s mastery of space and vision.

I feel slightly dumber for having read this.

In no way is she a good dog, but I still love her visits.

I have a birthday visitor today!!

Had a nice art day yesterday with some queers at the SF Museum of Modern Art.

#pocket used to have its office in San Francisco on Sansome St., near the Montgomery Street BART station. It evaporated during Covid like so many good things.

#pocket 2024. This photo was from the Pocket Team Week last year. It was the first and only gathering of the Pocket Tiger Team, and the last time an entire Pocket team would gather.

#pocket 2022. I took this photo at the end of Mozilla All-Hands. I’d never been the Hawaii before, and the long walks on the beach with coworkers and friends felt practically surreal.
