Turning 50 and effing fabulous. #Bisexual 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, here anyway (and I like it!)

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

Happy to all the 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.

I'm sorry but I have to repost this. I still can't believe it's a news article, even in , 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 So, that's a cover of a classic 1984 Bronski Beat song, just so you know...very much a coming out classic for my generation.

@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.

@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.

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

@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.

The BBC notes that it doesn't cover politics while the polls are open...yet still has a live feed for the local elections while polls are open. The BBC feels the need for a live feed for everything, it's bonkers. A live feed to explain why there's nothing in this live feed.

Since I've only been on here a week I'm posting a 2nd ...I'm Bryan (duh) in , almost 50 (embracing it), cat dad (my baby's turning 5 in June), here for some content, maybe some music (I'm a and fanatic), movies (keen on right now), some real talk about ME / , / / , and I might talk about working out and cooking (because no one's ever done that online). Here's a 30-year-old photo of me, I look EXACTLY the same now.

I can't reasonably boycott entirely because it's a 25-minute walk each way to a grocery store not owned by them (though I will make special trips to Farm Boy for produce now). So I'm glad to see the Reddit boycott acknowledges that there are other measures to take for those of us who can't easily shop around, because the Loblaw Corp has squeezed out every single independent grocer around. (I still miss Boushey's...)

Good morning. Well! I've been very moody lately. Stress, pain, not enough sleep... it'll pass.

Anyone who criticizes or judges me here will be instantly blocked. I got chased off other social media by bullies, I refuse to let it happen here. This will be my safe space. And please call me out if I'm ever anything but kind to you, too.

Gave Mack an empty box, now singing Baby Got Back to him, except it's Baby Got Box. As in, "Baby got box, feline face with an Ottawa kitty"...as one does.

My advisor advises I'm to do an post. My bio spells it out, but in short (I'm not THAT short) I'm your average geeky queer (bi) guy in Ottawa enjoying an unexpected renaissance on the cusp of 50. I will definitely post too many photos of my best friend/non-biological son/cat named Mack. Probably also go on and on about bands and TV shows and movies and the art form that is Spotify playlist sequencing. I send a lot of postcards and am newly obsessed with exercise. Insufferable. Hi!

1st post goes to Mack, appropriately. A cat who knows exactly how cute he is, not fitting into boxes.
