I haven’t been on Bluesky lately. But here’s what I’ve been up to: youtu.be/W6WfRIiRzQM?...

The latest episode of “Fighting Matters” has dropped! We touch on comic books, “conservative” (aka “old person”) jiu jitsu, and the power of community to make positive change! #bjj #community

Lots of good conversation in this episode.

We raised $1700.00 for the Salus Center today with a #jiu-jitsu seminar! Thanks to everyone who came out to support!

IN FIVE DAYS, 3/22/25, I’ll be doing a seminar @deepbluebrazilianjiujitsu to benefit saluscentermi, Lansing’s LGBTQ+ community center. Top two donors also get a handmade quilt by craftsdepartment. Come learn good jiu-jitsu, build community, and support a great cause! #bjj

My beautiful bride and I braved the cold and attended a rally for LGBTQ+ rights at the Michigan Capitol today.

Just a reminder that it’s metal to know that LGBTQ+ rights are human rights. #bjj seminar benefitting the @saluscentermi on 3/22/25 at @deepbluebrazilianjiujitsu.

Less than four weeks away! People are tripping over themselves to come support the Salus Center! #bjj

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Please take a minute to read this. It’s important.

Great listen! Don't support shithead predators just because they're good at pajama cuddles.

Trans rights are human rights. The right to live authentically is a human right. Bodily autonomy is a human right. So please attend and support my seminar on 3/22/25 benefitting the @saluscentermi. You’re gonna see this on my page until seminar day. #bjj

Since Sean Strickland—one of the UFC's top bigots—is fighting this weekend, it's a good time to read my piece from last year on how the UFC uses hate and bigotry to sell fights. Somehow, it has become even more relevant today. www.sportspolitika.news/p/ufc-bigotr...

Food for thought. 1/2

Someone said my continued posting about this was “absurd”. What is more absurd is that LGBTQ+ rights, in particular transgender rights are under attack. And that endangers us all. If those rights are taken away, who is next? So please support this seminar benefiting the Salus Center. #bjj

Be happy and help others. Come support the @saluscentermi and attend and/or donate to my seminar benefitting them. #bjj Remember, LGBTQ+ rights are human rights. Full stop.

By absolutely caving to Putin’s insatiable lust for conquest in Ukraine Scolding Europeans over their values And supporting the equivalent of the modern Nazi party in Germany America has formally ceded its position as leader of the free world All it took was about 3 weeks under Trump

Maybe I’m naïve, but I still think love, rock n roll, and punching N@zis can change the world.

Here’s what Trump does: 1. Creates a crisis that hurts a lot of people 2. Frames the crisis as a good thing 3. The crisis gets really bad 4. Trump then reverses his bad decision and takes credit for ending the crisis he created 5. MAGA eats it up Every. Single. Time.

If I’m gonna have a platform, I’m going to do something good for other humans with it. Be a part of that and attend and/or donate to my seminar for the @saluscentermi. My hope is everyone can be as safe and happy as me and one of my besties are in this pic from a competition. #bjj
