Just a couple of updates:

1) My birthday was the other day and not much has changed since my 2020 post. Bathing and maintaining basic hygiene is still difficult. I continue to blame the pandemic.
2) My dad’s 10-year “angelversary” was today. To whomever decided that “angelversary” was a good word: fuck you.

Also, a hello and long-distance hug to MK. I wish–I REALLY wish–you would have an IG account for all of the pics you post on Swarm. I mean, come on. They are beautiful. ☹ They are worthy of a more fun platform–yes, even the pics of potato chips.

Let's be a helper! Shoe shine man Phillip Wiggins' bike was stolen, replaced by the community, but the new one was stolen off a CapMetro bus. The bus driver basically told Mr. Wiggins' that he was S.O.L. @CapMetroATX @KXAN_News @SMBR_AustinTX @ATX_311 gofundme.com/f/i-nee…

Happy 82nd birthday to the genius Herbie Hancock. One of countless examples of his mastery: how he translates this quintessential guitar song to piano. His fingers are connected to a higher power: youtu.be/31BL-wGZ8RE

There have always been trans kids. This is nothing new. Letting them live their truth will save their lives. To all the trans kids and families who love them, in Texas and around the world: stay strong and keep fighting for your freedom.
