(1/1) The best part of the Met Gala this year was seeing disability representation. Aariana Rose Philip, who has quadriplegic cerebral palsy, was the first wheelchair user to attend the Gala and Sinéad Burke, a disability activist, was a big part of that.

[life update] I’m a dad now! We welcomed our son a few months ago, and I’ve been spending all my free time with him—watching him grow. I’m loving every moment, but I do miss my sleep. He is my world. I probably won’t talk about him much on here, but I wanted to share the news with y’all. 😁

Thanks for all the good vibes, the surgery went well. I appreciate all y’all so much. 🫶🏻 Happy National Underwear Day!

when you do something simple, something small for someone..whether it’s complimenting someone on bluesky, or telling someone at the grocery store you like their haircut, and they tell you “that made my day” — the best feeling ever. hope everyone has a great weekend!

Happy Friday! Just got accepted to serve on the Pride Board at work. I used to keep work and personal life separate, code switching to fit in. But with everything going on, I felt it was time to step up and help make work safer & more inclusive for the LGBTQ+ community I’m proud to be a part of. 🫶🏼

[tw] I just read Hanya Yanagihara's A Little Life and this excerpt took me out. When bad things happen so often, you assume you somehow attract these situations and that you deserved it. And when things are good, you don’t accept it because you’re waiting for the day it’s gone - knowing it’ll come.

Except from A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara: 

“The hyenas returned, more numerous and famished than before, more vigilant in their hunt. And then everything else returned as well: years and years and years of memories he had thought he had controlled and defanged, all crowding him once again, yelping and leaping before his face, unignorable in their sounds, indefatigable in their clamor for his attention. He woke gasping for air: he woke with the names of people he had sworn he would never think of again on his tongue.”
