The further I go to the Left, the more I discover how we could do things right! I love camping, learning from good science communicators, and finding contentment through minimalism. My pronouns are "he/him", and I'm an LGBTQIA2S+ ally.
We grabbed breakfast in the morning, and then participated in a local #NoKings event. Now it is time for a dinner date with my lovely wife at a Japanese steakhouse.

My #NoKings experience as the dangerous #Antifa threat suddenly emerged in Gurnee, IL. Oh the humanity!

A man who sleeps with an “underage girl” is rap*ng a child and a ped0phile.

A man who participates in “forceful s*x” is actually called rap3, and being a rap*st.

For some reason predators want to ignore the terminology and reject who they are. Label them, shame them. Call them out.

If you're celebrating your tax dollars being allocated to the wealthy rather than the poor and disabled you're a special kind of fucked up. 🤷🏻‍♂️💯

Happy Independence Day! We should arrange a national strike just to remind our political leaders what exactly this day is about!

What the GOP just did to America with its Big Maga Murder Bill's largest redistribution of wealth in our nation's history... seals the deal Reagan started. Happy Fourth, America.

If you are doom scrolling, just remember that the present is not our last stand against fascism, corporate greed, and unchecked capitalism. It is their's. They are making their last stand against the tides of change, and they're fighting very hard because in the long run they know they will lose.

I head to court in two months to face off with my rap*st. This is the actual jury trial, and I’ve already spent a lot in traveling and I’m pursuing justice. Just throwing this into the universe. A re-share would mean the world. gofund.me/869834ef

My wife is also studying Spanish with me. We're planning to visit Mexico to celebrate completing the entire Duolingo program. It isn't the only resource I'm using, but it is fun and gives me a way to practice anytime and anywhere.

I'm learning Spanish. I want to better understand the people whom Trump is attacking. It might seem silly, but I want to be able to speak with migrants. It might not be much, but I don't want to just make donations and attend protests. I hope I can help form bonds to strengthen our resistance.

Goodbye, my furry little friend, Jade. I will miss you!

She was only 8 lbs at the most, but she was full of energy and affection. She was being treated for heart disease, but her poor little body couldn't take it anymore. She passed away in my arms this morning. #HugYourPup
