Chibi is boss. Bring her her coffee. Bring her her squeaky ball. Type up her homework. Bossy. Bossy. Boss dog.

Sound therapy … on rafts.

Kicking it at The Roxie for The Beaches of Agnès. Always excited for more Agnès Varda. ☺️

We can’t ever know the inner state of another.

In the East Bay today to dog sit and catch up on Lower Decks.

I spent my holiday break in Tucson, Arizona with my mom and the elder of my two younger sisters. It was ❤️: I re-bonded with my sister, re-connected with old friends, and ate a lot of food. 🥰

I also passed pretty consistently with strangers (at least as far as I could tell).

It’s one of those curious things about being a Bay Area Transperson: you tend to pass more easily when you’re traveling than when you’re home. San Franciscans tend to know what’s up; they also tend to be kind about it. 😘

Hi, it’s me again. ☺️

I was pretty foolish moving to Insta and Threads. Egg on my face, 100%.

Hard not to wonder what it would be like if @mozilla’s Social were still around today …

Went to a wedding. Here are my favorite three photos.

I’ve never fainted before, but I managed to do it twice on election day. I missed the counting, which was probably a good thing, and deepened a friendship, which is always a wonderful thing.

As to the election itself … that requires more words than I have right now.

I haven’t posted here as much this year as I would like. I pin most of the blame on the pressures of my employment, which have consumed my waking hours with such ferocious appetite that there’s very little of me leftover to write, and very little that I can write about other than the perks and perils of corporate employment in our late, great capitalist dystopia.

But here’s a cool jacket.

Went to my first bridal shower last weekend. Interesting time all around. The bride-to-be is the fiancée of a dear friend of mine going back to high school, which meant his sister, mother, and step-mother were also all in attendance—none of whom I’ve seen in 30 years.

Also, we won the TP wedding dress competition (last photo)!

SF Opera at the Park with @Krupa

I spend a crazy amount of time in this restroom in the building of my electrologists before my appointments, waiting for the topical anesthetic to soak in. I always block it off as OOO in my work calendar; I always end up conducting work over Slack on my itty bitty iPhone 13 mini.

I don’t like to edit my photos, so I had to lean on my red and yellow filters quite a bit in Ireland, where it was perpetually a bit gray.

My first management hat. 🥰

Cities are rad.

The entire @pocket team is in town this week for an on-site. 🥰

For our first meal together, we rolled the dice and ended up with a royal feast. Like most teams at @mozilla, Pocket is geographically distributed; it’s so refreshing (and rare) to have everyone in the same place at the same time—a dinner like this is a treasure.

Wearing the colors to work today. 🏳️‍⚧️

Moody weather yesterday.
