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.
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 post a lot of #Ottawa 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
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. 😻
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.
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. #ukpolitics
Since I've only been on here a week I'm posting a 2nd #introduction ...I'm Bryan (duh) in #Ottawa, almost 50 (embracing it), #bisexual cat dad (my baby's turning 5 in June), here for some #queer content, maybe some music (I'm a #disco and #edm fanatic), movies (keen on #horror right now), some real talk about ME / #CFS, #trauma / #PTSD / #CPTSD, 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.
