😳🥺😡 I went searching for the Memorial Day color scheme on our beautiful bridge ... and sadly found this ... likely directed by DeSantis 😤

👇

Red, white, and blue display on Acosta Bridge means no colors for ‘Pride Month’ or other events

#ThrowbackThursday & story time (sorry for writing such a long toot 🫣)

I was on the west-side of Jacksonville today for my chest x-ray. (I'll get results/details at my next appointment, on June 5th)

Perfect opportunity to take a nostalgic trip around the neighborhood where I met my very first boyfriend ever! 🥰

I didn't come out openly until I was in the process of leaving the Navy after my 20 years.

During the late 90's I began to seek out LGBTQIA+ places.

One night at a popular bar in the 5-Points area I explained to the girl hitting on me that I was gay but didn't know any other queer people. She suggested a few places in the Riverside neighborhood. And as they say, the rest, plus gay dot com, is history! 🤣

At a gay bar she recommended (3-D, now called InCahoots) an older gentleman suggested I check out a place called The Boot Rack.

The bartender that night at The Boot Rack was named Todd. We quickly hit it off. He asked me out, and when I said yes, he kissed me! My first kiss from another gay man! 🥰

We were together almost 5 years, and were great friends even after we separated.

Here's 1990's Bryan at the Boot Rack collecting Todd after his shift one night. Someone snapped the photo and gave it to us. Back when pics were developed and printed on photo paper! 🤣

The second photo is one of my favorites of Todd. He was the kindest, most gentle soul I've ever known! 🥰🙏❤️

The third photo I took this afternoon at The Boot Rack, incredibly still going strong, having survived lockdown! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

a very handsome man wearing my white cowboy hat, and a cut-off vest while bartending.
From the parking lot of a bar, the view of the front entrance through a wooden wall and fence painted brick red. with a Pride Progress flag displayed prominently and the message: Everyone is welcome here! above the wood gate/door is the business sign on black ink: The Boot Rack. Definitely not a high end establishment, but a friendly and welcoming place! The outdoor patio, just beyond this gate, is perfect for line dancing. 🤠

#Pixelfed

I think I've missed a setting somewhere, is there a place in the current Android App to show the full image in-feed (without clicking), or is that coming down the line in the future? 🤔

Noticed today that some of the tight frames, or especially tall/long shots, get 'cropped' in the feed-view - although are still fully intact if you click on them .

If this is necessary for app limitations, could we have an icon display in the corner as an indicator to "click for full view" ?

Something I should add to the GitHub?

Screengrab of same post viewed in timeline with web ui, and full image visible in timeline view
Screengrab if tall/vertical post with top and bottom missing in timeline view, but fully intact if clicked on.
Screengrab of same vertical/tall photo after clicking on it to view full image.

@riversidebryan @dansup This is fixed on the new app that will be shipping in the next few days!

Saw this and thought it might be something you'd be interested in, perhaps?

@riversidebryan Thanks! Sadly, not my skillset 😔 @viridian However, if you ever need someone who's great at icons, glyphs, 2D illustration and branding/logos, hmu! haha

Good luck in your quest!

I've received my first "report" on hugs.lgbt and I'm very confused ....

Two posts were reported ... neither were from hugs.lgbt posts ... one was a reply to one of my posts by a mutual, the other was a post by that mutual without any hugs.lgbt involvement ...

Did I receive the report because one of those was a reply to a post of mine?

But why the other one?

Also very confused as to why ... the first was a thank you reply to a post from me.

The other was a meme.

The category was "other" but no notes or any other information that I could discern 🤔 🤷‍♂️

@riversidebryan @paul Haha yeah, accidental blocks are even easier to do than accidental reports

I almost accidentally blocked my self-hosted instance. That would have been a mess to clear up.

ugh ... can't find an option to "never show" these bad humans on Spotify like you can with songs 😤🤬
I really need to make the jump to another music streamer but I'm so resistant to change, all my energy is expended guarding my yard!
