Images from a blacklight photoshoot I did a while back. I hope y'all like em. 🥰
I’ve not figured out yet how I want to utilize this platform. A photographer I follow on insta clued me in to the fact that one can be more free here with artistic expression than on that platform (nudes, etc.), so I may start using it more for photography and art than discussions like fb. Thoughts?
Heard the BEST joke this morning. Props to Christopher Titus. “We didn’t want a vagina in the White House, so we voted for the other side of the taint” 😆😝😆😪😂🥹
More evidence of the clown in chief bankrupting our economy just like most of his businesses (including casinos — how do you bankrupt a casino?!?!?). He is and always was a better con man than business man.
Haven’t posted in a while. So here’s a pic of my gorgeous wife

Paxton 'opinion' claims courts lack authority to order gender marker changes, tells state agencies to 'immediately correct' any such changes - Dallas Voice
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton ramped up his war on transgender Texans yet another notch today (Friday, March 14), issuing a “legal opinion” declaring that state district courts do not have the jud...

If you’re interested in the legislation and other legal actions being taken against the transgender community, tune in tomorrow.
The state and federal legislatures continue their hateful, discriminatory, anti-constitutional attacks against the transgender community. It’s pathetic. But it’s also very frightening.
All of this winning 🙄 I can’t take much more #greatagain My wife’s 401k has dropped $10k since 🍊💩🤡 took office. That’s just over a month. We’ll all be dead broke by thanksgiving at this rate. #isthiswhatyouvotedfor
249 years of American culture and distinction erased with an immature tyrant’s illegitimate “executive order”. That’s how absolutely pathetic this sad excuse for a nation has become. I’m mourning the loss of my country. #wehavenoofficiallanguage
Quick lesson on American Government: There are three branches. The LEGISLATURE writes the law The JUDICIARY interprets the law The Executive ENFORCES the law AS WRITTEN by the legislature and INTERPRETED by the judiciary. These “executive orders” are an UNCONSTITUTIONAL ABUSE OF POWER STAND UP!!!
It’s been a long, tough week. I foresee a lovely soak in my near future. Manifesting it into the universe.
Be vigilant. They’re coming for us. www.advocate.com/politics/dhs...
DHS quietly eliminates ban on surveillance based on sexual orientation and gender identity
The DHS quietly updated its policy manual earlier this month, removing LGBTQ+ identities from the section prohibiting surveillance based solely on immutable characteristics.

We had a great evening yesterday seeing Artikal Sound System in a teensy venue in Dallas.
Y’all doing okay? It’s a lot going on right now. Lots of stress and worry. It’s going to be okay though. Somehow. Some way. Some day. Hang in there. I love y’all.
Be vigilant y’all. The T (and all subsequent letters) has been erased from the US Government’s international travel website. This used to be for LGBTQIA+ travelers. But to the new government, trans and intersex people don’t exist. This is beyond alarming.
I had a truly fantastic day today with family and friends — and a photo shoot with blacklit body paint. It was tons of fun. I’m excited to get the photos back. In the meantime, here’s a selfie sneak peek.
Seattle is a beautiful city. Headed back home now. It was a brief but lovely vacation. Back to court in the morning. 🤷♀️🫶
Headed back to the US from Canada with a worried mind and a heavy heart. It was very nice to not be on American soil for the horrific “day one”. There are some beautiful views out the window along the way.
Y’all — I cannot even begin to describe to you how very much I love my experiences and adventures with this amazing woman! Our culinary delights are among my very favorite routines while traveling. Tonight was the opposite of a disappointment in that regard! #ilovemywife #traveladventures
Watching a game in Vancouver where they’re celebrating lunar new year. It’s so refreshing being in a place that celebrates and embraces cultural diversity. #canadalove with @heatherhoward.bsky.social
