Sick again within 2 months - started reading Capote

Go Bucks 🦌

Saw Pillion for a second time tonight in hopes I could get past my previous disappointments with the film. I urge you, if you liked the film, please please read the book it’s based on.

Ad-Workers Award Show Season 🏆

A classic by James Baldwin - an extraordinary writer that will leave feeling like you were part of the characters relationship. Hit home in ways I did not expect.

Just finished ‘Giovanni’s Room’ 💔

Back home, in MKE

If you love the movie, I beg of you to read the book it’s based on - ‘Box Hill’
Super short read, and has an even better portrayal of their relationship in my opinion.

Been a minute. How’s Bsky doing?

Massive respect Charley Crockett. Well said. Well written. Fantastic artist.

“H”

Hot take, but… aligned.

The amount of work calls I’ve been on this week with people in warmer areas asking if I’m prepared?? Anything below 10 feels the same. Just another day in the Midwest 😅

Sun is shining in the beautiful -40 degree MKE weather 🥶🌞

This look from the Ralph Lauren Autumn\Winter show might just be the most gorgeous men’s look I’ve seen in a long time.

Lovely tie. Great fit. Well done 🌹

Watch it again 😌

in defense of pretension. may this be the year of the snob.

“When did not being stupid become a social offense? Ignorance has become an accepted trait, being learned as social faux pas. Admitting that you lack even the most basic cultural literacy has become as trendy as owning a pair of tabis.”

A wonderful read.

Thrifted this bankers mirror for my room 🦅

Tonight, it is time for a re-watch 🍿

Physical media forever! 🌹

Book Club: A Single Man Armistead reflects on — and reads the first chapter from — his favorite Christopher Isherwood novel.

What finally pushed me to read it was hearing Armistead Maupin talk about it on his substack. open.substack.com/pub/armistea...

First book of 2026 complete.
One of my favorite films of all time, I finally got around to reading the book. The movie is incredibly faithful to the text. This provided a little extra insight to George’s world that made it a fresh experience. Loved it. 🌹

The latest addition to my watch collection. A vintage Seiko tank from my birth year.

2025 pushed me to work through aspects of my life I never thought I would work through.
2026 my hope is to better understand what it means to be “I” when it is no longer “we”. I cherish the last 10 years so deeply. I hold close the comfort of that life, for it has made me the man I am today. 🌹

Thank you, sir 🌹

That’s incredible! What a good story to be attached to those pieces as well.

These aren’t bad! Ive seen sold listings in old auction sites of the one I’m looking for, but no active listings that don’t read as completely fake. The hunt continues
