Checking out for the weekend with a bunch of furry and queer friends. So far it’s pretty rad 😎👍. #abgt #weekender #furry
Had a great 4th of July earlier this week with a small group of friends at the new house. Deep fried all the things and watched a ton of fireworks going off around the city from our viewpoint. Also some badass focaccia was made with garlic confit. 👌
Happy Pride! First Seattle pride was a blast. Such a long parade too! #pride
Queer bar energy is an entirely different energy. Yes, that’s a disco ball. Yes, I want one.

Last week was insane. Working 16+ hour days to get filtration and packaging done for all 3 ciders was an epic task I would not wish on my worst enemy. Made 3,400+ cans and 33 kegs that we had to transport to the warehouse. That’s over 2,000lbs of product we had to move ourselves.

Spent the last two days slowly recovering and probably most of this week just catching up on sleep.

This past cider production week was significantly more challenging than past ones. Going to count the wins we got this week amongst the challenges and losses. Learning so many tough lessons along the way. Onward and upward!

Some of the crazy things I get to do at work now making hard cider. Moving things in terms of drums, pallets, and truckloads is not something I ever imagined doing. It’s fun and mildly terrifying because minor mistakes at this level can be catastrophic.

It’s incredibly validating to realize I had this in my head years ago and the compliments we keep getting about our branding and products just make me smile. Maybe I am putting my own little dent in the universe. 😊

Got my traditional Cosmo yesterday at the Delta SkyClub on the way back home. Having a Cosmo is my tradition at the start and end of my vacations or trips. Matches my hair, tastes great, and relaxes me. Also my namesake so I gotta represent. I’ve gotten so many of these shots over the years and thinking of making a coffee table photo book of them.
Goodbye @FWA and Atlanta. It’s been so much fun and I can’t wait to be back again some time. Thanks once again to all the staff who put on my favorite event every year. ❤️👋🦊

Last day of @FWA and wow, what an amazing weekend. Tons of people here I haven’t seen in years. Did 11 hours of fursuiting too which is a record. Looking forward to chill party vibes tonight and an early trek to the airport back home. Huge thanks to all the staff who make the con possible. I’ve helped run a few cons and this is always my party con I don’t staff. Y’all put on one hell of an event and I promise to return.

Also been waiting 6 years to get this obligatory macro shot. Kaiju Martini!
