A section of the Japanese box art for Sonic the Hedgehog 2. It reads, "Don't just sit there and waste your precious time. When you want to do something, do it right away. Do it when you can. It's the only way to live a life without regrets."

For Israel & the U.S. to go to war during Ramadan is also a message.

(No more back pain, plus easily putting my carry-on suitcase in the overhead bin, are my two biggest lifting victories)

With the caveat that Raskol Apparel sponsors a LOT of those folks so sometimes you’re just looking at a Raskol ad β€” it’s still good inspo for silhouettes in particular

I like following actual weightlifters, vs influencers β€” yes I primarily follow them for their takes on form, the science of lifting, mobility work, etc, but a side benefit is gym outfit inspo

I know I’ve been asking for $ these past few weeks but in light of last night’s barbarism:

A cozy 10 month old calico kitten, curled up on my sweatpants-clad lap on the couch and facing away from the camera. Blissfully unaware of human concerns, he reaps the benefits made manifest by his prayer warrior uncle every single day.

My roommate is Afro-indigenous, and something about having an Afro-indigenous roommate is the feeling of walking into the home and smelling palo santo

Not just that it is an incredibly good (and powerful, and comforting) smell, but that some serious spiritual shit went down while I was away!

Plato tells us that there is but one Jason Statham movie, which we perceive as many due to our inability to access true knowledge in the realm of the forms

Itching to jump into Discourse today? Maybe just RT some Black folks with Tourette's instead. Not every hot topic needs your not-in-your-lane opinion.
