The Washington State Department of Transportation posted this to their social accounts today with “Welcome to Washington, soccer fans” and I am LIVING! They also used Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” for the backing track. 💀

We hosted a last-minute brunch potluck on Sunday and each invited folks to the party. Josh and I whipped up some pan-fried Yukon gold potatoes and a frittata with onions, zucchini, kale, roasted poblano peppers, and sharp cheddar, topped with caramelized shallots. Others brought quiche, lemon bread/cake, fancy Japanese donuts, chocolates, and more. And of course there was a mimosa bar and the espresso machine out to good use.

He arrived Saturday around noon, we walked down to Pike/Pine for Vietnamese food, then strolled up and over the hill to a dispensary so he could restock on vapes. Then a nap, shower and off to Phinney Ridge to meet two sets of friends at a taproom. This was dubbed the “straight” gathering and we shared pizza and brews for three full hours with two couples and a cumulative three kids.

Weekend recap! My friend Josh Silverman visited from Oakland—my first official houseguest. I first met Josh in January 2020 at a design conference in SF and connected professionally and then socially. In addition to being the same height, he’s a fabulous designer, educator, gardener, cook, and lover of the best (and stupidest) puns. When I visited SF last year he and I walked around the city for 12 miles and poured our hearts out about life, love, sex, and so much more.

personally I’m just not in the habit of boosting things but am trying to get better after seeing a reminder post (of yours maybe??) that our boosts are the “algorithm”

I volunteered to put my event skills to use, to support the very queer gym community I’m part of, and to meet new people and hopefully spark friendships and local connections. And I did! Met quite a few folks during setup and downtime and had a blast doing it.
I’ve also rekindled my gym motivation. I doubt I will deadlift any time soon, but who knows?
You can take the Zaddy out of events, but you can never take the events out of the Zaddy 🕺🏼
And I’m def volunteering next year.

Outside of tracking weight attempts and lifter sequence, most of my job was hyping them up and cheering them on. And boy I sure can hype. Now I’m hoarse and exhausted but my heart is so full supporting this community.
Powerlifting never really appealed to me but in this context I saw so much personal joy from folks demonstrating their training and chasing personal records. And that was inspiring! I also realized that lifting is not so much about muscle/body size as it is strength.

Then a mix of “vintage” (mid-70s) pro lifters, one of whom told me she was taking it easy because last week she set a Guinness world record for her age class🤯 as well as younger queer folk across the gender and sexuality spectra.
Last, another mixed group ranging their lifts from the low 100s to the low 400s.
All abilities, experience levels, all for the fun of chasing PRs and raising money. They raised a record 38k for 3 trans-focused orgs.

Yesterday I volunteered at my gym’s Pride Deadlift Party—a block party fundraiser as a casual deadlifting meet interspersed with performances and hosted by a local drag queen. It was so incredibly queer and they had a record 300 registered lifters.
They put me on a team of flight captains and we managed session groups on 1 of 6 lifting platforms.
Our first group was an entire coached team of trans and nonbinary folks.

that’s so much better than all the trash mullets I saw in Melbourne… Brisbane must have much better style 😜

Have you ever absentmindedly mixed your daily pills with a handful of pistachios and just crunched down on the whole thing? There’s no going back once you realize what you’ve done, and I will just say that it is NOT pleasant. Do not recommend.

2025-04-18 20:36:48 UTC

Long shot, but are there any PDX-based makers with a CRICUT, chrome or silver metallic vinyl, and extreme precision who could apply a text logo to a handful of presentation folders by end of day Monday for a rush client meeting?!
Please boost for reach! 🤞🏼

my favorite parts of the system message was:
- IF our data is incorrect, you need to provide x/y/z documentation
- there are 3 ways to provide this… [fails to list those ways or provide a link to learn more]
- [fails to instruct what to do if their dates are correct]
- insists that personally identifiable info be redacted lest it be disclosed to requestor, which would also make it impossible to authenticate

Background check service: you must provide the start and end month and year of your college enrollment.
Me: 🤔 uhhhhh, 09/2004-06/2008? 🤷🏼‍♂️
Background check service 1 day later: your dates are incorrect we have found you first enrolled in 1999
Me (after paying $8 for an e-transcript): oh, apparently Calculus I my senior year of high school was for college credit. But yeah, I was “enrolled” at PSU for 10 years, sure.

at best if I recognize or expect the call and we aren’t familiar, I’ll greet with “This is Isaac” to eliminate the awkward ID question up front. But that’s it.
