There are four ways that we exist. The Thinking Self. The Feeling Self. The Aware Self. The Embodied Self.

The world is heavy. Existing in it is heavy. Existing in it in a body that does not represent you is heavy. Trans Rights Are Human Rights.

I am sooooooooooo hyped to play Frostpunk 2, can't wait to beat our hype train record and play the easiest, coziest survival game ever! Maybe the next goal should be a 24 hour Fortnite stream. Thanks chat for all your encouragement and support. 🙃

Apparently ICE is about to start putting out ads on platforms? If these ads come to Twitch, here's a (hopefully) handy tip when one comes on: 1. Click the gear icon, bottom right of the player. 2. Click "Report Playback Issue". 3. Select this option. Hopefully this will work!

What if the Ten Commandments were a download about how to be in right relationship with each other, the Earth, and something greater? But the language of the time didn’t have nuance, so it came out in absolutes. But underneath? A living system was guiding us back to balance.

They will try to scare you. They will flood the streets with soldiers. They will broadcast silence while beating drums off-camera. They will tell you that your scream is too loud, your song too soft, your grief too inconvenient. But I’m here to remind you: 🕯️ You are not broken. 🔥 You are not alon

I took this in 2008. Before the cracks became chasms. Before I realized the flag I swore to serve had never once protected me. We’re still flying—but barely. This isn’t about hating America. It’s about loving her enough to say: “You’re bleeding. Wake up.” #split #fragmented #stopracism #freedom

I believe in trans rights, human rights, including disabled rights and worker’s rights and feminism and Black and Brown rights because this is the root of all: racism. A tool used by systems to keep control of all.

We grew up reciting it, hand over heart: “With liberty and justice for all.” A simple promise, embedded into the American consciousness from the earliest school days. A phrase so familiar, it almost slips past without question. But now, we must ask the question. What is liberty? What is justice?

When we trace how we got here, the answer isn't hard to see. A nation divided since inception, built on the back of slaves. Beyond that, the world. We live in layers of consciousness. Pocket universes stitched into false timelines, constructed to shield us from the grief of what was stolen.

When people ask why so many military members and veterans lean Republican, they usually expect a quick answer. Patriotism. Tradition. Guns. But that’s not the whole story—not even close. The truth is layered, systemic, and uncomfortable, starting in the places we’ve forgotten.
