I hear those frozen water trucks are back on the streets in Joliet today. I’ve never been to Jefferson st. Though I hear it’s a really popular spot.

Wanna hang out? I’m streaming DBD on twitch @jacktivism101. Let’s go!!!

Jacktivism101 - Twitch Is this thing on??

Finally playing DBD and chatting on stream!

One of my fave roles for Ned Beatty was as “Willy the Waver” in the Banker and the Bum on Highway to Heaven.

Y’all have no clue how much I watch this show though. FR. 😂😂😂

I’m not a fan of Christianity (or any organized religion that weaponizes a creator, the afterlife, spirituality, or goodness).

But, I will always support those who truly value these things.

That performative shit is for posers.

I have a slight obsession with pop culture and its significance in influencing cultural change.

Too many folks fail to realize the full potential of art,music, movies, and TV but that’s where our stories live.

The movements of the masses, our traumas, our victories, it’s all THERE.

Sometimes we can still find amazing shit on the internet.

Some of y’all have never watched an episode of Highway to Heaven and it shows.

Jacktivism — cultural truth-telling, community care, and righteous disruption rooted in joy.

This isn’t a brand.
It’s survival.

I’m Jack Knoxville. Disabled. Multiracial. Trans.

after years of homelessness, I became the 1st Trans guy to run for office in the southern US.

I spent my life building systems that actually center the people society tries to erase.

I’m about to start streaming my new series: Thriving Out of Spite.

The sky over Chicago looks so cooooool tonight.

If you’ve never been to Chicago you should know this city is WILD. We hear the weirdest noises at the weirdest times.

30 mins ago we heard a very loud bang. No clue what it was or where it came from. 5 mins later we hear pops and rumbles as someone starts shooting fireworks @ 9 AM! 🤣 🤦🏽‍♂️

Look at these precious faces. 🥰🥰🥰

My wife and I are so in sync that earlier this morning as the DJ in my head was blasting Dua lipa’s “don’t start now” as the chorus was playing my wife literally came up behind me (in her own ADHD existence) and goes “whoop woop” at the exact moment I heard it in my head in the song. Wtf?!? 😳😂🥰🫢🔥

Now that I’m entering this next season with a govt who doesn’t want me to see my next bday, I’m being intentional about my health and healing. Keeping that trend line moving up a little more each day is a small step but I’m doing it damn it! 🎉

Celebrating myself for getting my body moving again. When you work from home and find yourself chained to zoom calls it can be easy to become sedentary; especially for those of us who are neurodivergent, enjoy isolation, and or deal with depression.

This world has almost taken me too many times. There were no idols when I was a kid bc there was no acknowledgement that this community even existed outside of being punchlines to bad jokes.
The closest I had were Riotgrrrls and punks who challenged traditional norms esp around gender.

We don’t talk nearly enough about trans elders and what it means to age while Trans.

Why??

Because we’ve never been expected to make it this far.

Fuck that. I’m thriving out of spite and existing to resist.

If you’re Trans and over 40, holla!

Aging is weird but I’m “middle aged” and embracing it.

Too many folks I’ve known and loved didn’t make it this far and no former iteration of me thought I would see my 40s.

Yet here I am. Just as radical and resistant as ever but with a new calm and unwillingness to bend 4 anyone. Let’s go!

We got our tix in Chicago!

The Epiphany and Words of a Trans Elder Entering the 'middle-age' years.

Sometimes I write things on Substack.

The reactions from the exposed & raw nerves of lies which have been decaying democracy for years is not for me to stop; healing from the sicknesses created by capitalism is where I’m at.

Behind the crumbling foundation of fascism lies a future of freedoms that needs building.

Let’s go!

There’s no shame to their greed, but we can (and should) change that. Especially when there are 16M empty homes in the US

After getting sick twice in the last 6 weeks, I’ll be returning to masking up on a full time basis. Esp in this new nightmare.

Nah. They’ll just be replaced by Five below. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Let’s not let our memories be so short that we forget or normalize the madness around us.

Btw, I’ve never known a gunshot victim to not have a single scar from being shot.

Unless that gun was shooting blanks and the ketchup packet of fake blood was in fact fake…
