This is Cody, 1 of the first 6 US service members killed in retaliation strikes from Iran. He was kind, smart, funny and he was my cousin. We played video games together as kids. He & others are absolutely not acceptable losses or necessary casualties in an unjustified war. #endthiswarnow #humanist

Kaleidoscope of love art mobilization in Minneapolis, MN on 2/28/26. Over 1,000 people came together in solidarity for our neighbors and formed a giant butterfly. #minneapolis #minnesota #love #solidarity #butterfly

USA men's hockey & fascism: "All that's required for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" 🤔 "I expected nothing and was still let down". Men need to show up even when it's inconvenient; fascism thrives on the shoulders of weak men. #olympics #usahockey #bethechangeyouwishtosee #resist

Minneapolis update 2/25/26 - a marathon, not a sprint. ICE has retreated into the shadows, the suburbs, and rural areas but is still very much active. Keep up momentum, this is working. #minneapolis #minnesota #iceout #resist #wekeepusafe

I keep thinking about how we haven’t seen minors boarding the dedicated deportation flights here at MSP; how many kids are the commercial airlines at Minneapolis - St. Paul International flying to detention camps, and which airlines are they? Whistleblowers, ping me on Signal: ottergoose.11

Well it's been a while since I've been banned on Meta, YOLO. What happened to the GOP's balls? I'm old enough to remember when they were adamantly against Russia and Russian interference in world politics. Now? They roll over and eagerly await orders. Reagan would not approve.

Episode 3 of the podcast is live! If men can't listen to women, maybe they can listen to a man listening to Colleen - also known as "The Abortionfluencer" on social media. @abortionfluencer.bsky.social

Fragile, weak men will try to convince you of how strong they are, then throw a pouty fit over getting their feelings hurt. What did the bwave widdle alt-righters used to say about the left? F-you and your feelings, that was it.

Scolded toddler's gonna scolded toddler

Extol the ideals of real outlaw country; choose love, speak truth to power, protect the downtrodden, shine a spotlight on injustice, side with the people instead of bolstering the wealthy, and get a little rowdy doing it.

Episode 2 is live! A conversation with @brown19170.bsky.social about unconventional thinking, addressing intellectual dismissiveness, how we move forward not only as individuals but as a society, the book she's writing giving guidance on love and relationships, and many side-quest tangents.

Episode 1 of the If Men Can't Listen To... podcast is out! I'm asking a lot of potential guests in terms of vulnerability, to ante up the first episode is with my Mother talking about her success in the 1990s tech boom then starting a new, different career - all centered around public speaking.

The toxicity and self-incrimination of men seeking to bully women in comments section is as hilarious as it is frustrating. Men: take a stand and do something about it, clean up our own kind. Apologies about the format, I had to combine due to the 4 image limit.

I'm absolutely supportive of the deserved public shaming going on right now.

Middle-men seldom add value to the transaction.

Just barking through a fence

An idea about the type of conversations I'd like to have with guests.

Seriously - what are they protecting themselves from instead of protecting women and children?

The first episode has been recorded and edited, once I record an intro for all episodes it will be published. Getting close!

Well... we're waiting.

I'm probably going straight to algorithm jail for this. Bake me a cake with a file hidden in it?

It takes true courage to sow the seeds of success you won't personally harvest, celebrating your neighbors success without comparing it to your own.

Insecurity often hides behind vitriol. Look underneath hate to find the oppressor's weakness.

Just a man looking through pink fences seeing greener pastures.

The weak take the easy path, the strong? The empath.

Not just any meme….

A third of us tried to save two thirds of us from themselves. They’re about to find out.

This one might be triggering for some people so I'm starting with a warning that this post deals with SA / SA culture and the ripple effect it sends through society.

Don't come in, you'll scare me away A poem about gatekeeping inspired by a conversation with @kaylatatianaaaa.bsky.social

A poem - the mid season trade Writing poetry is helping me process what's happened in the decades leading up to this point and how to move through it. Thank you to anyone joining me in this catharsis.

"I don't want to be given anything by you. I just want you to leave me alone so I can do it myself." - James Baldwin

WWJD? Jesus would be dismayed to say the least that everything he did to spread a message of love, equality, and service to others was being used as justification for hateful conquest of God's children.

Imagine being a grown adult that's scared of spiders... or LGBTQ+ people.

Rainbows are badass, this is not open for discussion. Even moreso with two of them being intersected by lightning.

How many loved ones will you need to hurt to "win" your sense of security? How much of your own insecurity do you need to make someone else's problem to "win" your contentment?

Become greater than the sum of your parts.

A thought on masculenity and true strength.
