Non political or spiritual post. One of my all time favorite athletes died yesterday, Dave Parker.
Two thoughts; one, I’m really glad he lived to know he got into the HOF, and it’s sad as a Pirate fan that the franchise’s three best all time players are now gone. (third pic)
Memento Mori, friends ❤️‍🩹

It took me 5 months longer than most, but I deleted my twitter today. A local restaurant got raided by ICE, I innocuously put a “well wishes to the workers” tweet and it turned into a shitshow of gleeful schadenfreude, with lots of condescending MAGAsplaining.

I don’t need sports tweets that much!👋

A reminder to all the 2A folks that retaining the right to bear arms to protect oneself from a tyrannical government doesn’t only apply to one that is trying to round up guns- it also applies to people who are fighting back against a tyrannical government randomly rounding people up in their city!

Or OANN!

2) you’ve contracted out your own reasoning and goodness to a dear leader. That’s a cult.
if just a month ago Canada meant 🍺 and Rush, the Gulf was where you vacationed and you thought the Parks were awesome - what’s changed?
Ah, yah. You’re in a cult.

1) I think the Canada, the Gulf of Mexico and the ruining of the National Parks issues are the true litmus tests for who belongs to the cult.
If you suddenly hate Canada,think it’s important to call the Gulf something different & shrug your shoulders at the ruination of the parks…

I’ve been thinking about the lyrics to Pearl Jam’s The Fixer a lot the last three days. 💙
“When something's dark, let me shed a little light on it
When something's cold, let me put a little fire on it…
If something's lost, I wanna fight to get it back again…”

Hang in there, friends 👊

I will never get over this, it’s time to get our priorities straight and reclaim our critical thinking abilities. #fyp #science #foryoupage #booktok #america TikTok video by Em Curry

Five Lines I repeat daily these days:

1. I am grateful for this new day🙏
2. I embrace impermanence 💨
3. I cultivate compassion for myself and others 🤗
4. I walk the path of wisdom 🧠
5. I am at peace with myself ☮️🕊️

How incredibly far out of his league is dumbass Junior, here?
It’s like me arguing relativity with Einstein.

Happy Sunday BlueSky, I took this photograph from the Edge observation deck in NYC.

Obviously, I copied&pasted this, and when I think of it, I’m directing this at myself:
Porn is artificial sex.
Alcohol is artificial fun.
Junk food is artificial food.
Smoking is artificial relaxation.
Social media is artificial communication.

Don't sacrifice real things for cheap dopamine.

The way your dad looks when you grow up to be a nutjob.

This is the greatest thing I’ve read.

Of course, mine is complicated.
Battle of Chancellorsville-even though the bad guys won, it was the greatest strategical battle ever.
Battle of the Argonne-just from the sheer determination of it.
And, of course, D-Day. The intricacies of it all was unparalleled.

❤️❤️🎄🎅

Someone called this mass exodus from Twitter ‘the fall of the Broman Empire’ and I died laughing. 💀

3 Stoic lessons from Epictetus:

1. Only focus on what’s in your control. Ruthlessly let go of all that isn’t!
2. If you want to be beautiful, make beautiful choices.
3. Don’t just “get through it,” Love your fate (Amor Fati)

A lot of people are asking, “What can we do to protect our parks from being destroyed by the Trump admin?” Let’s be honest, the next four years are going to be tough. Just like the first term, we anticipate a relentless assault on the environment-maybe even worse, now that lessons were learned. 1/4

Good Morning. Goals for today:
1. Practice Mindful Breathing.
2. Express Gratitude by how I act.
3. Set Intentions on how I want to feel and what I want to do.
4. Be mindful of my movements.
5. Be mindful of my eating.
6. Practice Compassion through my thoughts and actions.
Here we … go! 🧘‍♂️🕉️👊

Goodnight and have a fabulous tomorrow! 🥂🍰☮️
