Hard trying dad, skateboarding, occasional poems, Stoic, learning Arabic 👈 need help. Also, #squarecircletriangle
Storms are about to get very bad in Arkansas. I am as prepared as I can be. But the only way I got there was to do it a little at a time.

Consider spending effort, mental energy, or money on some bit of preparedness for you or a friend every time you say “We got lucky this time.”

A quiet discourse on shoes with Lou Reed and Fast Fox on the back of a half buried ‘69 Charger in Harkey Valley, Arkansas.

“Sure, all men are beasts. Hey look, I’ll sit here quietly and I’ll stare at my feet.” Lou Reed

“Ok.” Fast Fox

Merton & Batman discuss war on a '78 Camaro atop Mt. Magazine, Logan Cnty, Arkansas.

"For the Church is Christ Himself, present in the world. He has redeemed, present in mystery, in poverty, in ways that are a scandal to human wisdom and to the ruthless leaders of men."
Merton

"I'm Batman." Batman

HIGHLY recommend. Incredible book. A great tool for crystallizing perspectives, refining logic, and gathering ideas. It is challenging & invigorating. It hurts a bit, too. The mansplaining chapter is a fun & cutting chapter. The last chapter is a perfect crescendo of reason and action.

Probably the same parking lot my dad would pause and listen to Seals and Crofts before heading in. He would graduate. I would not. I fell apart.

I was just reminded that on this date in 1997, Americana by Starflyer 59 was released. I bought it not too long after and specifically remember listening to it in the parking lot before class at Art Center College of Design.

I spilled my coffee getting out of the car.

Heck of a morning. I thank the universe for skateboarding today.

This excellent comic is by @chazhutton.bsky.social. I won’t say that this was his intention but this cartoon has everything to do with movement work in the of time of authoritarianism.

We make the road by walking.

Part 2 of @ryan-holiday.bsky.social book Right Thing, Right now is absolutely invigorating and what I need now.

I won’t try to speak to everyone but I want to speak directly to other white men and say read this book, fellas.

This week I started the dismantling of my back porch. I tell you all this because the reasons are anti-fascist, anti-bird flu, deeply Stoic, and pro-community. Follow the journey with me. I will try to fill you in on progress.

This is also to say teenage Bryan would have thought I was pretty rad.

I missed getting this up yesterday on the tenth anniversary of Harris Wittels passing. Safe travels in the great beyond, sir.

I made this when he passed and read it every so often for a laugh and cry. #squarecircletriangle #comedybangbang

Woah just realized the relevant photos didn’t post, too.

This is Ray Barbee, a bad ass skateboarder in the 80 and 90s. And I’m finding more and more his music is the best to draw by.

Going to add a new drawing of a peaceful Fast Fox to the back of a new sweatshirt today and I couldn’t be more excited.

Excellent lines from one of my favorites Roberto Castillo Udiarte from Smooth-Talking Dog.

Show up for them. But also show up for who you come from. Southern white men, 🧔🏽‍♂️ make sure other southern white men see you. Farmers, 👨🏼‍🌾 make sure other farmers see you. 🙇🏻 Shy people, make sure other shy people see you.

But mostly I’m talking to you, Arkansas white dudes.

I share this #squarecircletriangle every so often to make sure people are reminded of things he has said about women.

I’ve made it to the first lesson that the previous owner of this book didn’t complete. I feel awesome.
