A month from today, Ishmiel Lounsbury and I will be leading a group of 15 men through a day of community connection as we develop that inner strength together.

I can't wait.

Life has been putting me through some "advanced classes" lately around commitment, love, and loss.

The hard-earned integrity I feel in my deepest being has made me unflappable.

Tears for a Dying Friend YouTube video by Hug Nation

My dear friend and cohost of ‪the Stay Sparked Podcast‬ , Janus, is dying.
I was told that he chose to shift his medical care to "Comfort Measure Only" right before my live broadcast yesterday.

It truly did lift a weight to be able to share the news and my grief.

'If you criticize any aspect of the above, that means you’re a literal Nazi! And don’t worry about the crushing malaise, that’s just a sign that you’re a Good Person Who Cares!'”

'Relentlessly police your own language according to rules that change hourly and be prepared to be totally ejected from your personal and professional network the second anyone even accuses you of stepping out of line!'

'Abandon any hope for the future, as you either need to become poorer to protect the environment, or endure the horrors of climate disaster!'

"Regardless of what any actual candidate was saying, what young men heard/perceived was:

@jasonkpargin.bsky.social's latest email is a helpful criticism/look at Liberal Pessimism.

It is a long read, so if you are rushed, skim the analysis of Bo Burnam and skip to #5.

p.s. I LOVED Jason K Pargin's latest book.

I've shifted to thinking it was done intentionally. But I still think there are plenty of irrefutable actions to focus on.

🥰 thanks!

He's the best! His podcast/youtube videos are fantastic, too.
