You've only got one life to live, but if you do it right, that's all you need. Since birth, I've been me. Parts have changed and parts have stayed the same. Opinions are my own.

If, like me, you are a huge fan of President Obama, do yourself a favor and watch his speech at Jesse Jackson's memorial.

For College Applicants, Pressure to Make Summers Count Has Gotten Even Worse Teens are scrambling to specialize their summer pursuits early—to convey a “story” to college admissions officers.

Go with what you are genuinely passionate about.

Life is long. It will give you side quests. Your passion will change. Keep moving forward, and the sum total of your experience will serve you well.

Support Minnesota Interfaith Coalition on Immigration on GiveMN ICOM is an antiracist grassroots, 501c3 non-profit organization that formed in 2008 in response to state and national policies which unfairly target immigrants and refugees. Guided by our faith values...

There are lots of ways to support our neighbors in Minneapolis. This was at the charity I chose. There's a link to a lot more options in the comments.

If you don't know who you're talking to on the Internet it's probably a bot or a troll.

They're aim is to get us to hate each other. Whether it's liberals hating conservatives, conservatives hating liberals or self-hate within each group.

Be a skeptic. Invest in meat space.

Gabi is my sleepy time cat. Always in bed when I go to sleep and wake up.

Dibble is my couch cat. She likes to sit on the arm of the couch or cushion behind me and snuggle up.

Crying While Male As seen on @Threads. Society tells men to "open up" and be vulnerable. Experience tells men that if they cry, they lose respect. Which side is right?

Let's sort it out. The advice is actually unisex.

Some Sundays I go to church. Some I go to the church of sweat (hot yoga). This Sunday I refueled with a walk in the woods. All work for me.

Fun fact: If you cancel Amazon Prime part way into an annual subscription they will refund you. I don't know many services that do that, kudos to Amazon.

I canceled to save money as well as participate in a resist and unsubscribe movement. Check it out 👍

It would be nice to think there was one plan to fix things. That's not realistic.

The only plan is for everyone to do everything they can.

I'm big on economic slow down and building community in our own neighborhoods. This pays off in many ways. Everyone can make progress on both every day. 🤝

I'm not riding in this but I'm showing up for it.

Community is how we get through. Make sure you're spending as much if not more time building community offline.

Together we are strong 💯

Memes are only a small part of the game of life.

The point of raising awareness is action.

Skill Upgrade! I've added a new recipe, chicken dumpling soup.

+5 to immune system checks.
+3 with rice or noodles

Some people try to get a cold just to get their mom to cook it for them.

Don't be THAT guy 🧐

I took PTO mitigate my personal risk. Do whatever you can. It all adds up.

Some say we should wait for a more coordinated effort.

I say start pushing now. More managers and CEOs need to feel the pressure. Trump listens to money.

Lighting a Candle to Counter an ICE Storm As a follow-up to It's Ok to Look Away I'm as guilty as the next person. I confuse spending too much time consuming the specifics of events as if I need to know more to respond. I tell myself that ...

There are a million voices covering the news. I'm here to tell stories about how I’m trying to get through here and prepare for whatever comes next. Things we can put to use in our own lives.

Stay warm and be prepared.
