Finally, Tod Streater with our one roommate (in the household known as The Dreary Biscuit) whose name completely escapes me now, but who lived in the garage and with whom I probably argued about postmodernism. Photo likely 1990 or '91, would love to know

Another of Tod Streater, ca. '90, with a woman with whom I would love to swap Tod stories, if only I had the first idea who she is. Don't remember where I found this photo either, but it was apparently for a queer film festival. (Seattle or Olympia?)
vmarinelli:
On #worldaidsday, remembering the brilliant, acerbic, and hilarious Tod Streater, a cofounder with me and others of Olympia's first LGBTQ Pride March,in 1991. He died in October 1994, the same week I got pregnant with @maria.rva. I like to think they said

Sundays are for green tea and Quaker Meeting and on the way home, saying hello to the neighborhood goats.

Hauls ass through hours of driving rain so I can see the Pacific Ocean on my birthday; wheels me around every corner of the aquarium, so I don't have to chose between missing half the exhibits and not ruining my SI joint for days:

Was it worth several minutes in the driving rain for this guy to give me one decent, albeit blurry shot? You otter know it! (I'm so sorry.)

Starfish are such badasses. Lose a huge chunk of your body? It's cool man, just grow another! #regeneration

If you're looking for legal weed on a rainy Thanksgiving, West Salem Cannabis has got you covered. (Also, its proprietors would like you to know that everything is on sale.) #roadtrip #oregon #thanksgiving #openonthanksgiving #weed #godbless #myamerica

New year, new birthday shirt from my love. (I never ask where he finds these. Anyway, he's magical.) Happy birthday to me! #lifebeginsat46

"Hey, your mom sent you something from Amazon!" "How do you know it's from my mom?" "Who else would address it to Victoria Sweetlittle Marinelli?" "Good point."

Because the Suffragettes wore all white with—I am told—accents of purple and gold, I am similarly dressed,* with bonus Medusa necklace (just happens to have purple and gold beads!), with which to ward off xenophobic serial sexual harassers, among other ev

I am enormously fond of this weird little game store.

How much do I love this guy? So much.

Well on my way to restoring my former "wall of hair," behind which to hide in awkward social situations as well as during scary scenes in movies. Also, I have noticed that in Instagram as in life, there are no neck wattle-canceling filters, so I guess I
