In less than a year, the U.S. has gone from a country that provides universal aide to a terrorist state that pillages and plunders.

Good morning friends! Cardio so no pics today. Wishing you all a wonderful day!

Today’s poem is for all the parents back on the school run for the first time after the holidays. Dawn Watson’s collection ‘We Play Here’ is an incredible piece of work and highly recommended. Very excited to see new work from her in 2026. #poetry #poemoftheday

Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession

Legs done. Quads definitely felt it this am. Back to real world of work 😪

173 years ago, on the 4th of January 1853, Solomon Northup regained his freedom. His memoir, ‘Twelve Years a Slave’, were published later in the same year and became a national bestseller. The book was dedicated to Harriet Beecher Stowe, who wrote 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'. #otd #history 🗃️

Good morning 🌞

Chest and Shoulders complete. Crowded gym this am. The resolutionists have come.

Waking up in Trump’s America like —

Trump must be removed from office. Congress must do this now. Rubio and Hegseth should also be removed too.

Arms and shoulders complete this morning.

Good King Harold's Hall.

Quote with your last gym selfie of 2025🙂‍↕️🏋‍♂️

Start of 2025 (165lbs) vs end of 2025 (154lbs) Focused on leaning out and locking in nutrition. Currently in week 4 of my bulk. Did lose over a month of workouts this summer due to abdominal surgery. 2026 goal: bulk. I know my progress is not that impressive, but I'm happy with it.

Chest and back complete. Last workout of 2025.

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence These are the foundations of real freedom.

I've known from the age of 6 that we live in a horrible rape culture. But with the coverage of the Epstein files, it's so undeniable and in our face. The confirmation of my suspicion that huge swathes of society will choose to protect powerful rapists even against child victims is hard to live with.

The Sato Project and Wings of Rescue just flew 110 dogs from Puerto Rico to Morristown NJ this morning...chi's are among them. thesatoproject.org/current-adop...

Legs complete!

Chest and shoulders done. (Sprinkled in a preacher curl too😉)

Bicep thread! Show those guns!

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice in Chains.

Describe your Bluesky account in a single image.

Well nothing like a cardio workout digging your car out of the snow.

Boxing Day arms and delts. Threw in a little cardio to combat my Christmas bloat.

“The poet does not use poetry, but is at the service of poetry. To use it is to misuse it.” - Denise Levertov I love the images in this poem. Also something clever about the repetition and effect of the line breaks in the final stanza #poetry #poemoftheday

Now my Christmas Eve is complete.🎄

Leg day. Forced rest day tomorrow with no gyms open. Have a great Christmas eve everyone!

A late start this am, so this was the only selfie I could muster. I did back today despite no back picture.

Post a book you love from the '80s. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. #BookSky #bookchallenge #readingchallenge #readingcommunity #booktok #books

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Chest and shoulders done. Feeling chonky.

On rest days, I'm just like "ok muscles start growing and please no fat cells"

Reflecting on my recent posts by London & Millay considering the urgency of life. In this we see love is brief, fragile, and fiercely present. Williams reminds us that tenderness matters because time doesn’t wait. We must speak gently, hold carefully, and love now. #poetry #poemoftheday

Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!

Arms and delts kinda Friday morning.

I didn't realize how eclectic my interactions have been. www.madebyolof.com/bluesky-wrap...

The public: "We are desperate for help with the cost of living. Please do something." Trump administration: "Penis."

Am I the only crazy one doing 4 am workouts?

It's all part of the grift.

Good morning all!

Happy 100th Birthday to Dick Van Dyke 🎂

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health. The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information. They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift. Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

🚨 BREAKING: Oversight Dems received 95,000 new photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate. These disturbing images raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world. Time to end this White House cover-up. Release the files!

Arms and delts this morning!

Movie you've watched more than six times with a Gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars, LOTR (how dare you) or Marvel.

NYC bill would allow individuals to sue for violations of sanctuary laws https://gothamist.com/news/nyc-bill-would-allow-individuals-to-sue-for-violations-of-sanctuary-laws

This shit belongs to an Elie Wiesel or Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn memoir, not contemporary American news stories, but here we are

What an interesting coincidence.
