Our beloved friend and co-host passed away on Feb. 10.

In this episode Betsy and I share gratitude, grief, and our personal experiences with Janus' final chapter.

A tribute episode with stories about Janus is in the works.

A month from today, Ishmiel Lounsbury and I will be leading a group of 15 men through a day of community connection as we develop that inner strength together.

I can't wait.

Life has been putting me through some "advanced classes" lately around commitment, love, and loss.

The hard-earned integrity I feel in my deepest being has made me unflappable.

You explored the edges of consciousness.
You showed the way to others.
I will miss you.
Thank you for being a part of who I am.
Godspeed on your new adventure.
It has been an honor to be your friend, Janus Osiris Redmoon
I love you always.

RIP Janus.

Well done, dear friend.
You made the weight of your life matter.
You spread boundless kindness and love.
You showed courage and heart.
You kept open to learning and growth.
You shared wisdom and humility.
You danced and laughed with all your being.

Tears for a Dying Friend
YouTube video by Hug Nation Tears for a Dying Friend

My dear friend and cohost of β€ͺthe Stay Sparked Podcast‬ , Janus, is dying.
I was told that he chose to shift his medical care to "Comfort Measure Only" right before my live broadcast yesterday.

It truly did lift a weight to be able to share the news and my grief.

@jasonkpargin.bsky.social's latest email is a helpful criticism/look at Liberal Pessimism.

It is a long read, so if you are rushed, skim the analysis of Bo Burnam and skip to #5.

p.s. I LOVED Jason K Pargin's latest book.

I've shifted to thinking it was done intentionally. But I still think there are plenty of irrefutable actions to focus on.
