Sam 🥑 @sam-avocado

Moved to the Bay Area from Florida 🍊 Living in the Town 🇲🇽 Del Rio hasta el mar, dignidad y libertad 🇵🇸 I love to be part of artful community & nature

Morning musings as I strode alongside the flowers and even snacked on one I had been taught was edible and it was as sweet as I remember.

Mid week pick me up coffee

Another day in the office, another ootd 🤗 but at least my hair cooperated today unlike yesterday

The most authentic Mexican habit I’ve found is that we sure love to nurture little plants and vivid colors. Makes a place feel alive and subtly signals to me that the food will be good 😉

After work shopping

Walked around the office with a split down by pants. Didn’t realize how bad it was. Makes me look 🕳️ hungry at the office lol cruising in a corporate ghost town unintentionally

Stopped to smells the roses and appreciate the poppies in bloom as May blooms commence

Also to seeing old friends from college!!

♥️Happy May Day / International Worker’s Day!! 🌹

When a networking mixer actually turns out to be hella fun! 🤩

The talent show popped off at Stud !!

Was FABULOUS meeting @paulofamerica while he’s in San Francisco for a conference. First time meeting someone off the @collective app that’s not local and just visiting!! Thanks ☺️ @cal for launching this app and helping facilitate such serendipitous meet ups!! 🫶🏼

Got a little herb pot planted with cilantro when stepping out for lunch and now I’ve got a potted plant pal to join me for lunch

In full work drag today for a networking mixer at the sale force tower 🍀 hopeful that it’s fruitful🤞🏼

Feliz Miércoles!!! 🐪 it’s all downhill/ up hill from here 😉

Happy Earth Day 🌎

Happy 🐣 /420 weekend from the bay 🍃

Found while walking to BART

Lady at the panaderia and folks at the protest complimented my outfit!! 🤗☺️

Oakland standing on business

Oakland is rallying! Crowd gathering early as folks are fired up!

Oakland 🌳 city hall!great weather to be in action!

Matcha latter made by my boy is the best way to start Friday as it’s especially smooth and frothy today 🤭

Because when the sun rises, so too do the California poppies bloom

But also, a spirit of resistance and a “Chica Fresa” as a night cap!

Rallying the troops to resist and never stop demanding justice and liberty for all 🗽

Looks like me and my hunny

Amidst all the chaos of the current American regime, I have been learning to balance it out with queer joy more. Now more than ever, to recharge is to trust my intuition to find serendipitous queer gatherings like this which bring such joy. All trans drag show and mutual aid show at a local cafe/bar

Sounder because it was such a treat to stumble upon live jazz on a lunch walk.

Casual photo op when the skies clear enough to remind us that this too shall pass. That despite the clouds, we can smile through adversity and appreciate the privilege to be in places our ancestors never imagined.

A sounder in the city

The sun sets on the old ways that no longer serve us and we’ll greet new horizons without fear as we shape it to be better than it is now.

Although people get weary of protests not having immediate effect, it has impacts. I saw how 🧊 agents hide inside their shiny office and put up closed signs and barricaded the doors when we peacefully protested outside calling them out for the terror they inflict on all our communities.

When the Western Azalea smells splendid, you’ve gotta stop for a sniff

Marched on 🧊 HQ in SF and they sooner closed up than come out.

Lady Gaga saving us in these dark times with the gaggiest set that Coachella has ever seen

And by that, I mean finding balance in the chaos by prioritize time with people and then getting into “work drag” to cosplay caring about corporate culture

Felt that I ATE that for a Friday

LOVE this view on a Friday
