A delightful Christmas present (from Kim Darnell), only recently arrived: this t-shirt (which I am wearing as I type this):
Gay Penguin Rainbow Pride Flag, from the teeherivar site

Gay hedgehog
June 21, 2020A week before Stonewall Day (1969), this celebratory hedgehog:
(#1) Gay Hedgehog design by JP House from Threadless, available in a great many colors
The hedgehog army
We are the hedgehog army!
Rainbow flags are the weapons we wave
In the fight against prejudice, fear, and rejection.
Ready, aim, be brave!
Exulting in Pride
June 18, 2020This afternoon my grand-daughter Opal arrived at my house (dutifully standing about 7 feet away and wearing a mask (as I was) to deliver two items: the DVD of Woody Allen’s Take the Money and Run (“It says GUB”), which she’d borrowed from me, oh, three years ago; and a celebratory Pride t-shirt from my daughter Elizabeth, whose bold NSFW message in Pride rainbow colors I defer to under the fold.
Trough Pride

Four presents
December 26, 2018Small but entertaining little gifts for my Christmas, from Elizabeth Daingerfield Zwicky, Opal Armstrong Zwicky, Kim Darnell, and Maggie Ainsworth-Darnell — plus an excellent dim sum lunch at Tai Pan in Palo Alto for all of us, from Paul Armstrong.
Then: an out@in rainbow t-shirt from LinkedIn (where Kim works); a little plush wooly (spelling by the Douglas Cuddle Toy Co.) mammoth; a tote bag with an otter drawing by the artist rubyetc; and a bit of nearly indescribable Japanese kawaii that involves a little self-watering ceramic penguin that grows wild strawberry plants (Fragaria vesca) on its back, as here:
(#1) Chuppon self-watering animals and their plants: the Sea Friends dolphin/clover, penguin/wild strawberry, seal/basil, polar bear/mint
Waving your flag
September 16, 2018(Hunky male model in skimpy underwear and swimwear, comments on male bodies, but nothing X-rated — though not to everyone’s taste.)
It starts with the Daily Jocks ad on the 14th for its Underwear Club, featuring two shots of a Jor model I’ll call Carlos: in a tricolor “athletic brief” (red, white, blue, top to bottom) in the style called Navy; and in a differently arranged tricolor thong (blue, white, red, top to bottom) in the style called Frankie (perhaps to suggest France, whose flag is blue, white, red, left to right).
JOR: LATINO SPIRIT
June 26, 2018(Guy in a minimal swimsuit from the Colombian company Jor, suggestive text, but nothing at all hard-core.)
The Daily Jocks sale ad yesterday, with my caption:
(#1) JOR: LATINO SPIRIT
Jor, son of Toro and Jordache
Lovingly hand-made
Lean, festive, resilient
Shines sexily in the sunLies proudly under Panama,
Has jungle liaisons with
Pacific Ecuador,
Caribbean VenezuelaBoasts cheekily in Bogotá
Of his tough style
Four things for Pride
June 23, 2018Pride Saturday in SF today (including some events that my grand-daughter will take part in); then the parade tomorrow (which I will watch via the miracle of live streaming by KPIX); then on Monday the 25th, the birthday of Saint George Michael of the Beverly Tearoom, the patron saint of parks at night; and finally on Thursday the 28th, actual Stonewall Day (recalling the Stonewall Inn riots of 1969).
For today: two kinds of rainbow food (rainbow cupcakes and rainbow roll sushi); Pride underwear, including two lines of rainbow underwear; and an entertaining accessory (a pink triangle pin, another creation in a long tradition of slogan buttons, stickers, patches, banners, etc. as well as nonverbal designs: the various Pride flags, the plain pink triangle, lavender-colored objects, etc., including my Forever Gay pin).
slide in(to) (y)our DM’s
May 10, 2018(Guys in sexy underwear, yes, but no more than that. Plus a recent slang idiom.)
Daily Jocks yesterday:
(#1) SLIDE IN OUR DM’S!
We are looking for hot new influencers to promote DailyJocks products, follow us & like our most recent post for the chance to become a DailyJocks influencer.
We will be sending out products for you to take pictures in & share with the world!
Lots of smiling — I’m big on smiles — in these amateur underwear photos, as compared to the sturdy studly pro shots.
The slang initialism DM (for direct message) I already knew, but the larger idiom slide in(to) (y)our DMs was new to me (but I’m so far from plugged into new things that I should be treated as permanently unplugged).
