Beer and Crosswords

@beerandxwords

Beer nerd. Tour guide. https://youtu.be/xFKOk_f7evI?feature=shared They/them. TRANS LIVES MATTER. I don't post much, but when I do it's mediocre at best and rarely about beer or crosswords.

I am LIVID at the circumstances that necessitated it, but I can think of no one better than @moryan.bsky.social as the one to finally call this shite out.

Read her words, then read them again.

This is a brilliant and brutal evisceration.

I have lived in the Northeast for my entire life (save a semester of uni in LA) and I know better than to expect this weather to last. I'm not saying I'm not going to ENJOY it, but I am fully aware the "in like a lion out like a lamb" adage is going to hold steady. #FakeSpring

An un-solved crossword in the foreground, a light colored beer in the middle ground, and the most amazing human in the background.   The human is wearing a flannel shirt, black rimmed glasses, and a wicked cute smirk.

My three favorite things in one photo: wife ( @allowmyself.bsky.social ) , crossword, Italian pilsner (in that order).

This is my first day off in two weeks and I am spending it at my 2nd favorite brewery (I'M BIASED, OK?!) with one of the last few cask pours of their 4th anniversary Czech pils. Boss is drinking the black kolsch we did as a collab.

I can’t believe we’re still having these same conversations.

I can’t believe we still have to wonder if you’re laughing at us and degrading us when we’re not in the room.

I can’t believe we haven’t burned this fucking place down.

Fun fact, #TSA Preβœ”οΈ is not just for the "wealthy elite." Traveling while trans/non-binary can be a humiliating experience and the program allows us to skip the full body scanner and/or subsequent pat down from confused (and occasionally apologetic) agents.

Worth every penny.

Not pictured, my matching t-shirt.

I like to think the amount of #beer I drink (always in moderation!) falls under the category of "professional development." I will always come back to this one, though. Bo' Shine forever. #BeerSky

According to The Internets, the traditional 9th wedding anniversary is pottery. @allowmyself.bsky.social went in a different direction, and has declared this our Snow Brush Anniversary.

Thank you, My Love, for the winter accoutrements, and for putting up with me for almost two decades. 😘

Attention #GenX women and those who identified as such in the 1990s. The latest episode of Good Hang w/ Amy Poehler is an interview with Sarah McLachlan.

The plunge into and rise from my feels reminds me that "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is so much more than a Kelly Clarkson song.

If I hear one more mention of the brothers and their father I am going to throw something at my TV. NONE OF THEM ARE ON THE ICE RIGHT NOW.

You know what I love? Walking into a nearly empty bar and being ignored.

I'm now, happily, ensconced at a briskly busy Sweeney's with a crossword puzzle and perfect pint from kind and capable bartender. She's solo, balancing service bar and counter, and she's killing it.

Did I just cackle on the train? Yes. It's crowded and I'm masked, so people are looking around, confused, which is only adding to my glee.

One of these was assembled at Fenway Park 10 years ago!! It was slightly shorter and not as looming, but you could see the dang thing from the Mass Pike.
