Playing on a coed soccer rec team this fall! Our team is called “Team Name Here” and I’m puttering around with a logo 😂

Soccer team logo for “Team Name Here”

Just posted this on FB. Thoughts and prayers appreciated.

FB post: “I don’t doubt that there are some horrible people out there who celebrate Charlie Kirk’s death. Shame on them. But I haven’t seen a single elected leader on “The Left” (or even someone who I would consider a leader with a considerable following) celebrating Kirk’s death or calling for more violence. Meanwhile, I’ve seen plenty of elected Republicans and influential right-wing leaders openly calling for violence, civil war, purges, retaliation, etc. Calling Democrats, liberals, transgender people, etc. terrorists. Trying to get them fired (or worse) for not adequately mourning Kirk’s death. This double standard is ridiculous and dangerous, folks.”

Let’s all call Congress and let them know that Trump should lose his job for not adequately mourning Charlie Kirk

Anyone else, idk, a bit spooked?

Aidan Walker’s helpful (I think?), albeit quite unsettling, reading of the Kirk assassination: www.youtube.com/watch

Wake me up when it feels like October again

I don’t think the internet is making us any better. Might be time to log off.

there’s a nonzero chance we’re already in The Bad Place

Honestly, I’ve been doing my best to ignore inflammatory guys like Kirk. His death is a tragedy. I’m looking for a sober account of his views. Any specific recommendations?

I thought this was well-put by George Packer at The Atlantic: “The Tragedy of Charlie Kirk’s Killing” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/arc…

“O come, Desire of Nations, bind
in one the hearts of all mankind.
Bid Thou our sad divisions cease
and be Thyself our King of Peace.”

“Then Jesus said to him, ‘Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword.'”

Still into sea shanties. No regrets.

Make shamelessly and constantly lying to the public socially and politically unacceptable again.

I really hate all three branches of government right now. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🔥🔥🗑️

Putting my fiber, creatine, and protein powders all in one smoothie today was…overly ambitious.

Reading and listening to “Good Anger.” Maybe our problem isn’t too much anger, but that we’ve misunderstood and misused anger. Quite interesting, so far.

What do you wish people would ask you about more often? Things you’d like to talk about more often. For me: tools, DIY, home repair, writing instruments and stationery, niche educational/how-to Youtube channels, etc.
