I promise this is the day that I go ahead and migrate Starrwulfe.xyz over to micro.blog. Take a look at the site and you’ll see why (unless I rebooted the server already.)

I was waiting to see if I could fix link-rot and migrate/copy/alias the short URLs to the posts but I don’t care anymore.

I can say that I’ve had the opportunity to witness both a former president and a possible future president that share a similar background as myself, in the same place and time as myself.

Two people (Harris and Obama) are standing on stage holding hands, surrounded by a crowd taking photos.

The good thing about Georgia’s record breaking early voting is that my canvassing list is shorter now. Some of y’all still haven’t done it though, so please vote so I don’t have to knock on your door! ✊🏾🚪😉🗳️

A tabby cat is lying under a bed on top of a pile of books and next to a green toy. Oh yeah, forgot to say we have a cat now too. Meet Marcy! 🐈

It was an easy assignment, a real no-brainer. All you gotta do is just pick the sane, coherent one and stay clear of the strange creeper dancing in the corner by himself.

A sticker displaying "I Voted" in multiple languages features a peach design on a blue fabric background, accompanied by a message about completing an assignment with extra credit for encouraging family members to vote.

How can anyone listen to this fool and think “yeah, HE is the leader I want for my nation”

He’s a 78 year old criminal with no new ideas and nothing but divisive rhetoric, lies and garbage instead of policies. I’m about to head out and vote against his ass and I hope you do too.

Well that was a wonderful, eye opening and refreshingly entertaining trip back to my birthplace.

Finally seems like people have found the diamonds in the rough and got their polishing grease ready to go.

Doggo relationship right now:

❤️ his energy, personality and enthusiasm. 👎🏾 his love of finding literally any shoe in the house and pretending it’s a bird kill or something.

We’re a shoes off house 😩 Whoever had him before us clearly gave him shoes to play with instead of proper dog toys.

My Monday ain’t hitting right at all.

Well #HurricaneHelene blew through my part of Georgia leaving us intact but lots of flooding and power outages all over the place. Very glad we were spared the brunt of her fury and bless up those who caught the wrath of a cyclone scorned.

Welp, y’all wish me luck! ⛈️ 🌀

Third weekend in September means JapanFest times.

Had a blast connecting with the Japanese diaspora of residents and businesses here around Atlanta with my family and reconnecting with folks from the diaspora in the community.

A crowd of people gathers near a large Japanese “Torii”archway made of red and yellow balloons inside a spacious, brightly lit room.A group of people are browsing shelves filled with “goshapon” capsule machines in a large indoor space.Musicians play traditional Japanese instruments on stage while a crowd watches, and two speakers stand nearby with microphones.

my oldest brother is a newly minted resident of Georgia and registered to vote a few weeks ago. The political parties are fighting for his attention in his mailbox. This is life in a swing state right now.

Today feels like one of those days where I’m going to wish I could be paid in extra sleep instead of just money.
