Others brought quiche, lemon bread/cake, fancy Japanese donuts, chocolates, and more.

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.<br/> <img src="https://files.mstdn.party/media_attachments/files/116/479/201/929/289/796/original/df0048bc53484dd8.jpeg"> <br/> 2026-04-27T23:12:56Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxj0jv76278gl3xfxclumzyrl2qahn4s45zkp5zx4uuw2hgldxzxqzyq7l2m4mx839gc0pv2ntsnv45lsjhhjqkgvpu82dfxgk6uyl9ypvuxmmsrp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqcmza6wxrzzxys4ehy2pchpazp856g60v97dnzfuqd9w76s66v4qtdgcx0'>nevent1q…gcx0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>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” 2026-04-20T21:57:05Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2m6nldrlw7rucdzvjk0fxjgyvd3tuefk6wltjd8mmsw0s9djqduczyq7l2m4mx839gc0pv2ntsnv45lsjhhjqkgvpu82dfxgk6uyl9ypvu9tk85a It is really bizarre to see the Waymo cars in Seattle. 2025-11-17T02:26:23Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs00yept42plgkq7n8zmzvyykvgqw7djmez2yewmr668y7mt0r9tvgzyq7l2m4mx839gc0pv2ntsnv45lsjhhjqkgvpu82dfxgk6uyl9ypvuhjzkeq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdhd63j24znl523zn7wvy47n6d6wc39clyu823eqmvd96nfpmv63cntadx4'>nevent1q…adx4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>oh yeah that one too 2025-11-10T03:36:08Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsd3ux7wk3pet4zayv9h7rm09ulxa3mng7duu4my3upn40zadsyktgzyq7l2m4mx839gc0pv2ntsnv45lsjhhjqkgvpu82dfxgk6uyl9ypvua2yes8 Pool party. 🥰🫶😁😏🤩🥵🍑🫦 2025-11-10T03:33:38Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszggz9mekn8kqky3j00qw25yss6r3lx5uclvrf5j9ttv0hzl8d9fgzyq7l2m4mx839gc0pv2ntsnv45lsjhhjqkgvpu82dfxgk6uyl9ypvu3us2va In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs82pv5lgnak63takj4zfet42vkrl6g7cy4f7hnz7cecqa0xtxlv2gllvpcc'>nevent1q…vpcc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>adorable! 2025-09-26T14:40:20Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswyezx7h6ahk2skrwz0d9qx8685s7snwt0z84nmel7yj0txm2e2tszyq7l2m4mx839gc0pv2ntsnv45lsjhhjqkgvpu82dfxgk6uyl9ypvusl2vmf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsx2lpwmhrv9au5fjvkva06qlcu9faeph4c8gmtx35s82x7sqtwlug66tqqm'>nevent1q…tqqm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I always like to take my middle name and either spell it forward or backward, then add the last four of my SSN to it and pick a random punctuation mark 2025-07-23T05:29:27Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9teqpehhq9c9k40wz8sv4x92v6devc4zw3mr3pkptspemztpu5mqzyq7l2m4mx839gc0pv2ntsnv45lsjhhjqkgvpu82dfxgk6uyl9ypvuhd837j In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszq0szmlq9yve9cjaln5crh874wcz8thlehkefhjjas543qpcg27cx6x66u'>nevent1q…x66u</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>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.
