I threw color in the '26 Portland Pride Parade!

Admittedly, KATU’s picture of me wasn’t very good, but I think mine was alright!

I kept my cane on me for that whole march, and I desperately needed it when I was done. I collapsed in a heap at home once I was out of the shower.

How in the shit did i miss you 😭 Im genuinely sad a little bit, woulda been so cool to hang out ❤️

I mean, I’m not dead, we can still hang out!

Though when I finished with the parade, I may as well have been. You would have gotten to hang out with an unconscious Tanis who had aching joints and feet.

For real i didnt even march and i was exhausted just taking pictures on the side. Was thankful for the people handing out water 😂

PM me girly 😊 sorry i ghosted its been alot lately, but i need to get myself out there more and im happy for a reason to. We can photograph stuff together! ❤️❤️

Edit: i wonder if youre in my pictures somewhere, or if i just completely missed the kaiser pod 😂

I still try to dress as Final Fantasy as I can, even though I’m in my forties now.

You look cool in those pics!

I want to say I mean that as a compliment but to me you were kinda channeling Square Enix Villan.

Can I just say. Those booooooots. Omg. I need them.

I got 'em in a 13 women's cause my feet aren't terribly tiny!

Yeah I'm right there with you on that, annoying how some of the more femme boot cuts don't go up to my size, but combat boots are like the only masc thing that I wear that I still feel l can style out along with a nice dress or whatever. But I really like yours, some goth boot brands have too many silver decorations on them for my tastes. Yours are really simple and elegant. You have great taste.

I try my absolute best in pulling off that good present-day Final Fantasy style. :D
