Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 08/03/2026Posting almost 600 text posts on here. It's been a lot of alone time on "social" media. A lot of the times it feels like I'm in the gym practicing powerlifting again, or in the practice room just hammering out skills. I didn't think the similarities would be this big. 020 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 28/02/2026I’ve failed every time I’ve tried to dedicate myself deeply to one medium. If I only read and write essays. Imbalance is gripping my pillow with sore fingers deteriorating into nightmares. My restful sleep craves balance with data of nightmares and dreams. I crave expertise. My community asked 1/3 110 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 27/02/2026This bonnet I bought off Amazon must have been for someone smaller than this massive Puerto Rican head. I’m annoyed at the marketing copy. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 26/02/2026I get instantly humbled anytime I practice a new physical skill. No matter how easy it looks. This skill called for slow walking, not sweating and crying at the slow walking. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 25/02/2026I can’t be heavy enough. Hate when triggers are so loud that the surrounding week has the volume cranked up. Peaking the redline and I’m about to blow out these club speakers. I can only pile on so many weighted blankets. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 24/02/2026My favorite seats are only beds or floors. Kindergarten meeting children outside my family. With my friends laughing on beds watching a 12 inch CRT. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 23/02/2026I feel so stupid. I follow a business model that doesn’t work trying to convince myself it does. I preach slow, disciplined ethics. Coaching is quick transformations. I’m holding this tension like a barbell trying to rip out my arms. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 22/02/2026I listen exlusively to dj sets. Music flows hour to hour and not song to song. It only counts if I hear heavy breathing on the mic. Something has to flow awkardly. I have to disagree with a choice. Please God let me hear tension. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 21/02/2026I’m utterly shit at prioritizing where to grow. Today I don’t know whether to meditate more, write more, or study more. I have a stack of 100 books in my to read list. I pressurize my urgency with scenarios. “I read the wrong book. Then queers counting on me have their dreams 1/4 110 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 20/02/2026I am a creative person and I hate it. It means I feel pain if I’m unimaginative. Self reflecting on creativity: Trim the end of asparagus and it becomes edible. A child does not notice his mother did this. But grows to cook for others. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 19/02/2026Collaging myself together post psychosis is funny. I see others staring at the cracks in the opening sky. Peace peace. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 18/02/2026You, me, the relationship hive mind. Pheromone bubbles. Group chat? No, friend group hive mind. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 17/02/2026Spite fuels me like nuclear rods. I first learned that at an audition. I played a rusty saxophone so bad that all the other kids laughed me out of the cafeteria. Iterate spite endlessly as writing output grows. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 16/02/2026Walking horizontal is a drain, decay. Falling forward. Downward? Falling. The focus is the falling and not being hunted. Energy propelling us forward. Missing a stair step. Coming down from 1/2 100 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 15/02/2026I made my heritage invisible. Colonialism turned inward towards my history. A viral post on the Siksika Nation was admonished by an indigenous creator. “Maybe look into your own culture first.” And then I feel embarrassed. My branching Puerto Rican family tree. I’m reminded of 1/3 100 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 14/02/2026 I want to treat them like a chew toy. They’re hot. And like most hot people, I want to bite them. My jaw hurts enough for a small headache. It’s uncomfortable to meet people slowly. I hallucinate this person with each projection 1/2 100 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 13/02/2026What do you mean if I get better, my family gets better? I just want to nag them until they do what I want. I *logically* know I only have control over myself. I don’t want to have to track all my water drinking. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 12/02/20265% better each day infuriates me. I want transformation movement. I want a power up with the bells and whistles. I don’t want to wake up every day at the same place on the same mountain wearing these same peasant robes. I keep finding these peasant robes in my closet when I’m groggy in the mornings. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 11/02/2026It feels like a joke that I have to work for the better future. I do these dishes. But I can’t see tomorrow when my girlfriend uses the bowl. I can’t reach for a crystal ball that it’s all “Worth it” in the end. Even my imagination falls flat. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 10/02/2026When did I get so attached to being clever? I was happy when I beat the Deathclaw Fallout 3 monster at 13 by shooting it as we played ring around the rosy around a table. The joy I felt then must mean that I AM the clever one. If I’m clever, then I can’t be stupid. I can’t ever be stupid. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 09/02/2026It’s so frustrating to micro adjust my exercise movements. I’ve been in fitness for 17 years and it’s never ending adjustments. Well, and collapse. There’s hella collapsing. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 08/02/2026 What escape from delusion must happen order to live the life you prefer?This philosophical move costs comfort and certainty. A stagnating identity keeps your ego safe. Focus. Plato’s Allegory of the Cave lulls you into complacency. It assumes there’s only one cave that the “enlightened person” 1/3 100 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 07/02/2026As much as I don’t like learning lessons the hard way, sometimes my body really yearns for that lesson to stick in there. Never going to get horizontal directly after a meal again. 010 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 06/02/2026There’s damn near a limiting set of beliefs for every hobby or goal I have. I logically knew that it wouldn’t be a one and done journal. It’s a gut punch every time. “I thought I was over this.” 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 05/02/2026For most TV, it’s social thing. I need to be with people. If left on my own I watch slow burn art movies or brain melters. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 04/02/2026Iron Lung was a slow movie. Which is exactly my aesthetic. Sign me up for slow dread any day. 010 0

Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 02/02/2026Getting to the Family Services building with all this ice and this sink full of utensils and crusty plates gets delayed. My jaw gets a little tense with these logistics. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 01/02/2026My bestie texted me for help writing an e-mail to her boss. It feels like a shame to edit it into corporate speech. 010 0

Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 30/01/2026My gray black coat cat, Meowdy, stares at my screen from my lap. I can always count on her to show up. I wonder if she likes philosophy textbooks on care ethics as much as I do. 010 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 29/01/2026Some days I imagine picking up a roommate with my teeth and shaking them like a dog’s chew toy. I require so much energy to do the dishes of this queer household I run. Do you every find yourself low on energy when your community asks you to do a chore? Most days it feels like I’m 1/3 100 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 28/01/2026Strategic empathy involves reading how others construct their reality. In most conversations we hallucinate other people. We make projections, and create a false vision of them in our head that’s easier to be certain of. We avoid the uncertainty as the person slowly reveals themselves to us. 1/3 120 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 25/11/2025You have the “right thoughts” but do you feel good? I see people with the “right” worldview. I also see them making themselves and others miserable. No thank you. I see you eating that moldy sandwich and I’ll let you have it. I’d rather take care of my neighbors than have the correct thoughts. 010 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 24/11/2025How do you get through limiting beliefs after the first round? Second level and onwards. Judgement -> beliefs underneath->gently/forcefully replace. Follow your values. Dirty brains need washing! So pick up that brush and break those limits and keep your feet firmly screwed into the Earth. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 23/11/2025How many limiting beliefs are there? They never run out. You become a diamond cutting illusions constantly. Once you learn the pattern, it’s like when scissors glide through paper or cloth, but IRL and about real life stuff. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 22/11/2025Use me however you need to get ahead. Disagree, agree, give me the same value I give you. Your gut knows which guides are most effective for your goals. You already know the difference between good milk, and spoiled milk. I hope. Please don’t tell me about the spoiled milk you’ve drank. 000 0

Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 20/11/2025Want to be better? Practice. Each skill boosts other skills. I maladaptive daydream. It’s a perfect inner world for alchemy, divination, connecting with the 7th dimension surfer bros. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 19/11/2025If someone is hungry, feed them. Give your extra to fill others’ needs. That’s why I wash my nonbinary roommates dishes. And why my roommates fill the hole in my heart that craves adoration. 010 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 18/11/2025You want guidance for the next step. The steps to the dance are in the music. They’re built over all the dances you’ve done. All the dances you’ve watched. If you want to be a follower, there’s always someone to take your power. It’s like you’re giving away free Girl Scout Cookies. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 17/11/2025Your moral framework guides intuition. A supremacist will leak supremacy culture even if doing the same actions as someone from a sustainable and balanced culture. A karmic duplication engine. 10,001 Puritan Pilgrim goblins running around evangelizing in every circle here in the west. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 16/11/2025You are confident enough to write off fitness. If i had that amount of hubris to write off 10,001 ways to move, I would have been struck by lightning to the point that I’d be vaporized. That lightning would have found me in the next dimension and got me there too. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 15/11/2025It’s never too late to choose a reality that is more effective in liberating everyone from suffering. Each moment is a choice of what to deepen. Practice beliefs like you’re a monk practicing martial arts forms. Each spinning back kick is like saying “The world is on my side.” 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 14/11/2025The prison in your heart houses your intuition every time it does something mildly wrong.

Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 13/11/2025Your wife and kids desperately need you to fix the toilet, so why are you still out there sitting under the banyan tree sweating like you’re in a Northern European Sauna? Meditate 40 days and you’ve made it. But at what cost? 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 12/11/2025Every day you grow. It’s inevitable. We choose where to put our awareness and what to deepen. Explore the map, camp in strange places, here they be monsters but it’s just the funhouse clowns after you’ve eaten too much funnel cake. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 11/11/2025Don’t let the gains goblins steal your muscle. You confuse fitness consistency for rigidity Track sets, reps, weight, rest time. Progress on 3-5 exercises every month. Anything else is the gains goblins hiding rocks in your pockets while you’re swimming. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 10/11/2025You’re not lost, your inner guru is just hungry. Feed them information and digest it through action. Download my ebook on escaping Spiritual Wandering and finding your spiritual home. Be like water, and not like my aunt’s jello. Which was hard enough to pass for Strawberry Bon Bons. 000 0
Rio Gomez 🇵🇷🏳️⚧️ @riosolarpunk.bsky.social · 09/11/2025Rigid boundaries do harm. A lot of y’all took boundaries to mean, “kill zone,” and set up ambushes for everyone who comes across you. Instead of being firm, gentle, and compassionate. You’re bloodthirsty, carceral, and got that Atomic Elbow ready to go. 000 0
