Just did three hours at the mall with three high schoolers shopping for homecoming dresses. This year was the exact opposite of last year. This year, the dresses were easy and the shoes were hard. I miss Garanimals... #SingleDad

Most of the time I try to just do my everyday normal life stuff. It is enough. But sometimes, I just need to get this stuff out.

@Alfred please make a picture of Mordecai and Rigby from Regular Show in the style of a painting from an Atari 2600 game cartridge box. Thanks
Last night I hosted my karate studio (do jhang) in honor of our International Master visiting and giving a clinic. We all worked our butts off to make the house spotless and ready. Now, we are all exhausted. We decided that an Atari Afternoon is what we could muster. There is so much joy in this simple thing. #SingleDad
I grew up desperately poor. West Texas poor. When I started making money I found a poor trap. I felt like I needed to spend money and have "high tastes" so nobody would know how poor I was. This is a trap. It is what self-hatred can look like.

It rained in Albuquerque while I was in Vienna. The desert plants took full advantage and took over my yard. I spent six hours hoing and weeding. I am tired. Goodnight

^^^ EXTRA NOTE - I challenge anyone to find a more accepting or inclusive social media platform or community. Most everyone here is supportive, sensitive & understanding.
And I am PROUD of most folks here.
Those who don't want to listen to you, will use the tools to mute or block or soft unfollow you, whatever. Same as everyone else.
And that's fine too. You most certainly do have free speech here, but that doesn't mean EVERYBODY has to listen to or engage you. Just like real life. 👍

Folks, I am trying to be fair, logical and impartial about all this. I really am. All I can really do is provide good tools. I can't make people use them, I can't make people understand other people. I can't solve world peace.
Ask yourself this. If I were to provide a 'safe space' where BIPOC users could feel less marginalized by COSO users don't want to listen.... do u know what that's called?
Segregation. Apartheid.
AND WE'RE NOT DOING THAT.
I can't MAKE people wanna discuss things.
Watching a fight between one of my kids and their friend is tough. Part of me goes Magila Gorilla and want to defend. Part of me knows to just sit and hold the kid while they cry. I hate how much simple pain is in the world. #SingleParent

A discussion about racism does not require hashtag politics. It is not a political issue no matter much folks want to pretend it is.
We need a safe space to listen and hear each other without attempts to block the discussion.
No matter how uncomfortable you feel.

Abo Mission Church ruins at Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument, New Mexico.
"The people that settled Abo at the end of the 11th century were part of the Tompiro group, the same group that established pueblos at Quarai and Gran Quivera nearby. They were the mountain relatives of the Piro who lived further south."
Did you know composite dental amalgam has a limited lifespan? I just had mine replaced and it hurt my fillings
