SHORT:
This past weekend Jess and I went to PTown/ to visit my great-aunt and great-uncle.
We sat under my great-uncle’s blue LED “mood lighting” and he said things like, “Just keep at it, don’t give up, and when u do give up, then congrats, you did it”.
MEDIUM:
We spent most of our time in PTown proper perusing stores full of shirts that said stuff like: “picked last in gym”, “it’s homo o’clock somewhere”, “my other car is a cock ring”, and, of course, 3 million no context tees of Princess Diana.
Every time we’d come across a trans-specific design it’d be a huge bummer/vibe shift.
-[rainbow shirt] “I hit my head on the dick dock”
-[rainbow shirt] “A dildo a day keeps the doctor in my ass right where I want him”
-[pink and blue shirt] “Valuable, visible, loved”
Give me a shirt that says “I poked my eye out with a testosterone needle but it’s okay cuz now I have another hole!” (or something… just spitballing!)
LONG:
When we weren’t at stores, Jess was busy taking photos of everyone’s colonial beach house with “beautiful landscaping ands flower beds”. After the 1500th photo of a stranger’s front-yard hydrangeas, I started to worry that we were going to get kicked out of the town for being actually the gayest people they’ve ever seen.
It was overcast the whole time we were there, but that didn’t stop me from getting a rip-roaring sunburn on my stomach.
Shoutout to my cousin Maya who met us on the way back from PTown and gifted me some of the best cinnamon babka I’ve had in my entire life (Snack Of The Week).
Runner up SOTW is the cinnamon roll I had from Relish PTown (highly recommend the establishment overall, great vibes great treats).
Video of the week goes to my great-aunt’s friend Jay’s fishing vlog she showed us where he sets up a go-pro and then catches a fish and then flips his kayak and you can see the fish underwater floppin’ around. You won’t catch me floatin’ in a self-propelled boat the ocean in my 70s, but mad props to everyone who chooses to live that kinda life. If you actually watched that video all the way through please comment “blue fish” below. If you didn’t, please comment letting me know why.
I’m falling asleep writing this (I blame the sunburn), so I’m gonna sign-off, but I hope this gave you something u needed.
Feel free to really go wild in the comment section.

Because the fish is in pain.
