What the actual fuck. This is unconstitutional, unpatriotic, and unconscionable.

Back when I was a Pokemon Master Trainer, the Chemical Brothers album Surrender was one of the few albums approved by Nintendo to play in my gym.

Sword therapy provided a much needed respite this evening.

I got in some training, some sparring, won a small tournament, and commiserated with friends.

With everything going on, it's important to have something that can take my focus for a few hours.

With the ongoing soul-crushing chaos, I am encouraged when I find newer generations are finding an outlet for their rage with their art.

It feels weird to find support from a novel, but the ideals of a wind runner are respect moving today.

1. Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination.

2. I will protect those who cannot protect themselves.

3. I will protect even those I hate, so long as it is right.
