Today’s poem: Naomi Shihab Nye: “Kindness” #lunchpoems

two truths and a lie (i’m workshopping this) 1. i was quoted in the unabomber’s obituary 2. i’m two degrees of separation from JD Vance 3. i can bench 315

back ✅

probably a wes, but i identify as a tilda

they turned itunes white?

i would like to go a full day without feeling a crushing sense of doom

morning lifting is where it’s at chest ✅

throwback to theology grad school, when i slept on a mattress on the floor of a lady’s attic for a year and had this poster as my only decor.

this ikea table is my new desk now.

haircuts are always better the second day

You don’t expect the evil tech overlords to be such suckers for supervillain cliches, and yet here we are. Private island bio hacking fantasies, extralegal sea cities, eugenics, apocalypticism, and boundless greed.

bsky has somehow managed to avoid developing "influencers" (in a vague sense that I won't try to define). that is pretty cool.

this is a winning coffee combo

oh look it's hitler

i'm watching the show "poker face" and the premise (woman can infallibly tell if anyone around her is lying) is cool, not specifically because of the superpower, but because it gives the show an excuse to have characters attempt brutal honesty about themselves.

voting may take you on unexpected adventures

I think maybe I’ll rewatch this classic of anti-fascist horror today.

shoulders ✅

it’s happening

getting a haircut today and i am so excited.

everyone on here has gotten so hot lately. what is going on.

im so close to being finished with this project.

arms ✅ i need a haircut

The inflection point seems to have hit a lot sooner than I expected. Between that and people dumping Meta this morning, things look like they’re winding down. (link is to an article from Axios)

voting gives you a big smile and a bigger peach

morning quads workout was a little abbreviated but overall a triumph

awkward but extremely obvious question creationists can’t answer that disturbed me as a child.

low energy workout but i did it

“Consilia sapientis amici magnam utilitatem afferunt”; secundum illud Prov. XXVII, unguento et variis odoribus delectatur cor, et bonis amici consiliis anima dulcoratur. Sed Rorty maxime est sapiens et amicus. Ergo eius consilia maximam utilitatem continent, et convenientia sunt.

the revival:

what if the october surprise is sudden death

resolution: become a morning lifter again. i can’t do post work lifting anymore, i just don’t enjoy it.

“see how the true gift never leaves the giver”
