Had a book sale today at our gallery with some book store friends. Sending proceeds to friends and families in LA who lost their homes in the fires. Was a great time , and wonderful win-win situation for customers (they get to help our LA fam and walk away with cool books)! 🙏🏿🫂

The oldest LGBTQ+ bookshop in *the entire world*—and would you believe it, today was my first time visiting! They’re hosting a fundraiser at the moment to evade eviction and sustain operations as long as they possibly can.
Please give them a gander at @gladdaybookshop and support them here:

Been off this app lately cuz ive been busy opening an art gallery in my hometown (San Diego) called Deixis Gallery! Been such a wonderful experience so far. It’s so beautiful to see how community comes together to help with every step along the way. Friends came by and helped paint, do construction, a friend of mine built us some benches from scratch, and a bunch of amazing artists participated in the inaugural exhibition. So hyped, truly recommend. And shout out to allstnyc for the encouragement back when I first posted an ask about opening a gallery! 🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿also if you find yourself in San Diego, make sure to stop by! @deixisgallery

I got an IG follow and message last night from a girl I knew in MIDDLE school (12+ yrs ago).
I haven’t talked to or seen her since then, but she’d often pop up in my mind, the last time being just a few days ago. All I remember is that I used to enjoy talking to her.
the first thing she said in her message was that for some reason, she’d think about me often, and also, for no particular reason… we barely knew each other back then
So, we decided we’re gonna hang out soon - don’t know why, but it just feels right. 🔮
