This time of year, I grab weeds while I’m walking my dog and weave them into little wreaths that I leave around the neighborhood… specifically because there is a woman on Next Door who is furious because she thinks they are signs of witchcraft. I encourage you to do the same.

Did you know Bob's Burgers is the only sitcom in the history of the planet to do a bisexual-themed Thanksgiving episode? And in the process made Bob a bi icon? No really.

@JoshuaConkel @palmsofpaul I got on Next Door as part of a long term gag where I’d report local bigfoot sightings under a fake name, in an effort to see if I could make people think a bigfoot lived here, but then I got so depressed at how easily manipulated people are on there that I didn’t do it.

@conortheeurofan I’m not disregarding your experience with any one word. I’m just pointing out that for a specific generation, maybe based on region, the main slur was “gay,” and that both words have a shared history of being weaponized against the community.

True story: One day I just got tired of being skinny. And rather than feeling like I was a gay failure for not having a body type I’d never be able to maintain, I ended up way happier being big gay dork with a belly. Would recommend.

Maybe worth repeating or maybe I just like talking about it, but I still can’t believe that after years of feeling like abs were compulsory to being acceptable and gay, I’ve never felt better about how I look as I do now, as heavy as I’ve ever been but stoked to be where I’m at.

Not only is Popeye (indirectly) responsible for the creation of Mario and Donkey Kong, but he's also (indirectly) responsible for the concept of power-ups. I did 5,000 words on Popeye's wild legacy in general, in Japan and in video games.

I'm restless and lacking in any focus so here is a scary story. It is one told to me on a date that didn't lead to anything but this one story stuck with me. So we were talking about hiking in greater LA and I mentioned that I'd never done anything in Los Padres Nat'l Forest...

Body positivity even being what it is, it’s really tough to navigate conversations about weight with other gay guys. It’s really hard to find a way to tell a bigger guy “You get to have whatever body goal you want but also I think you’re sexy as is.”

I feel like I talk about it too much here, but also it can’t be said enough, so here I go again: I took this selfie yesterday and my reaction was 1) wow, I’ve really put on some weight and then 2) I… look good? And I feel neither ashamed nor motivated to lose it.
