Fifty and effing fabulous. #Queer cat dad and overall #cats fanatic. Into movies (esp. #horror right now), #disco/ #EDM, #vinyl, gay teen fiction, working out, American Dad, Owl House, Lego, #Postcrossing, Brit light entertainment, musicals (Sondheim), ST: LD and SNW, and generally most geeky things. Existence informed but not defined by ME/ #CFS, #fibromyalgia, #PTSD/ #CPTSD. Secular humanist, progressive but politically burned out. Hate social media conceptually, here anyway.

I have to be wary of my own (anti-Tory) bias, but two days ago the BBC politics live feed image was Sunak playing football, one day ago it Sunak smiling and pointing, and today it's Rachel Reeves making a funny face. We also get Ed Davey falling off a paddle board today. I'm just pointing out what I see.

PSA: It's no consolation for anyone to hear "I can relate to you because I used to be like you but I'm fine now." It is possible to be sympathetic without comparing someone else's life to your own.

I often think of this line from Pooh (that I actually first read in the frontispiece of Armistead Maupin's Sure Of You). Mostly, people just want to feel like they're not alone.

Be kind to one another. I'm going to try just posting and boosting cat photos for a bit.

I left Mack alone from 9:30 'til 7:30 and he didn't even open all the drawers and cupboards to punish me. What a good lad. #Caturday #CatsOfMastodon

Okay, here's the new tattoo. I know, it means nothing to anyone but me and my German friend, since it's a frame from a postcard he sent me. This is the last frame; he falls down, he gets up, he adjusts his crown and moves on. (Weitergehen is German for "move on".)

I don't look exceptionally awesome today or anything, but I rarely post selfies, so here's me on the balcony with a bonus cat in the window.

I don't post a lot of photos because usually, when I'm out, I'm on a cardio walk and don't want to stop. But here's the Rideau Canal from the Corktown Footbridge.

Post today by @PlinyTheOlder on what was Venus Xtravaganza's birthday reminding us that if you haven't seen Paris Is Burning, you'll lose your queer membership card. Look, it's even easy to find on YouTube. And it is fundamental, children. #lgbtqia

It's not much yet, but this is one end of my balcony garden, 2024 edition.

Elsewhere (I have an unusually long balcony) I have some buckets with annuals plus various herbs (basil, parsley, rosemary, chives).

My thing is that every year I buy two perennials so gradually I reduce the number of annuals plus more plants indoors over the winter.

For flowers, I'm only doing the colours red/pink, white, and green this year... very Welsh of me, or perhaps Bulgarian.

Received a birthday card from a lovely lady in Norway, plus a #postcard for Mack (written "by" her own cat...lol). I love when #Postcrossing folks find cards that look like Mack. 😻

Happy #Caturday to all the #CatsOfMastodon and their human assistants!

Everything about the Finnish entry is wrong. On every level. I enjoy it because it's just so horribly wrong. So wrong. #Eurovision #Eurovision2024

I'm sorry but I have to repost this. I still can't believe it's a news article, even in #Ottawa, even on a Sunday. It makes me laugh every time I think about it, which is often.

I 100% relate to the Orville Peck song cover of 'Smalltown Boy'. In a way, it mirrored my own experience in a small city; Misunderstood, bullied, I didn't cry after a while of this happening. I looked at others with dead and unaffected eyes, my face resembled a burial mask giving nothing away.

On the inside, there was an emotional storm...A teen boy trying to find out how to become a person in the eyes of others. I like to think I found the answer, like he did.

@WanderingInDigitalWorlds I'm glad you feel that way! I didn't want to come across as old queer shaking his fist at clouds lecturing you. I do know and like Peck's version but the Bronski Beat I had on vinyl in the 80s.

@lohihilo@mastodon.social avatar

@WanderingInDigitalWorlds That would be helpful; for now you'll just have to rely on someone like me gaysplaining queer classics to you I guess. Lol

@WanderingInDigitalWorlds Katya's song Ding Dong is a cover of Loboda's song Boom Boom. #gaysplaining #notarealhashtag

@WanderingInDigitalWorlds Well, at my advanced age, I've learned a bit more than you young whipper-snappers!

@lohihilo@mastodon.social avatar

@WanderingInDigitalWorlds I remember being 40...so much less grey hair. You're still a bairn to me. (Not really.) I just realized that I've made a Smalltown Boy reference on my Postcrossing bio, so maybe I just know about that one song.
