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.
Hello, this is me shirtless. Please read my new website about video game history/trivia/linguistic minutiae/the kind of niche nerdery that gays specialize in
The 2000+ people who followed me because of the witch wreaths are gonna find out sooner or later that a big part of my social media presence is shirtless pics and dad bellies, so…
Hi,
@SenBobCorker
, please what is the cursed hell object in the background of your
@mitchellreports
interview and why is it the thing I see during my sleep paralysis nightmares?
"Call me Madelyne Pryor."
“Uh… okay. That seems like a rather specific name to pick for yourself out of nowhere.”
“It’s from the comics, but apparently were squishing my whole arc down to 22 minutes. Well, see ya.”

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.
Covering Strangers With Candy for the next

, had to bring up Amy Sedaris' Kimmy Schmidt character and how she actually only appears once in the whole first season, but there is SO MUCH going on in these two minutes.

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.
Tuck died tonight. I’m sad, but she was safe and comforted right until the end. I still can’t believe that I am someone who had a personal connection to a squirrel, and the strangeness of this doesn’t make me any less sad.
Whelp, here is what ended up being the last picture I took of my dog. And here is the oldest I had on my phone. I didn’t know if I could make room in my life for someone else, and I guess I still don’t, but I know I could make room for a dog. That counts for something.
They sent me home with this. The one paw print is irregular-looking because her paw was turned in and they wouldn’t have been able to take a mold of that one like they did with her other feet.
But in case you’re one of the people who is here *exclusively* for shirtless pics, here’s two. Me two years ago, when I was like “I kinda have a belly and I’m not going to hide it” and me this week, looking… bigger.
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.

The most innocent one being that he is a Republican politician with avant-garde taste in art instead of, like, portraits of Ronald Reagan
That thing where you get dressed and then look in the mirror and see that you are a whistle lanyard away from a PE teacher costume.

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.
The June 26, 1989, edition of my college paper, the Daily Nexus, ran a story about Sean Hannity, "a 27-year-old wallpaper hanger," getting his campus radio show canceled.
As long as you're here, I do have a podcast:
@gayestepisode
, about LGBTQ episodes of sitcoms. We've done nearly 200 episodes and have probably covered the sitcom you like. Our most recent is about the "gay penguins" episode of Park & Rec. Check it out!
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.”
So I’ve been having problems with my VCR giving a distorted picture and it just occurred to me that I need to clean the tape head and I actually had a moment where I was like “where the fuck am I going to find tape cleaner?” before I realized
Nicest celeb I ever met: Richard Karn calls me on my birthday every year to sing me a personalized birthday song. Meanest celeb I ever met: Reese Witherspoon has literally stolen three of my teeth, says she will "collect 'em all, y'all!" and wear them on a "necklace of victory."
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.
The internet: Zardoz takes place in 2023! Time to start dressing like Sean Connery, with the red speedo and the bandoliers and the mustache.
Literally one minute and 48 seconds into Zardoz:
