"just some words of encouragement and affirmation."


          

the next few months are gonna be a mess (externally), yall

but it doesn't have to stop you from enjoying your life and living to the fullest

lean into taking care of yourself, in all the ways that will benefit you. are you physically, mentally, sexually and emotionally where you want to be?

if not, focus there. maximize your life and your joy

are you financially where you want to be?

if not, move with intention in that direction. you can literally do anything you want, particularly when you're willing to accept and embrace the consequences (in whatever direction) of your decisions.

the world beyond your influence does not have to stop you from living.

Carpe diem, my loves.

Just before reaming out my own father, I hugged my daughter extra hard this morning and apologized to her. But then I told her that we have to fight, forever, and that we'll be here with her. She's not even 3 yet (one more month) but she stared at me like she was taking in everything I was saying, and kept saying "OK." *proud eyes emoji* I'm gonna keep repeating it.

My heart breaks for her but I know if my wife and I continue to raise her with an altruistic, compassionate, empathetic, activist, fighting spirit, she'll be alright. We're very fortunate in a lot of ways, but I just want to be sure she knows how important it is to use her relative privilege to try and make the world around her a better place.

Relative to 2016, I'm less stunned because I knew this was coming, despite my highest hopes. I'm just fucking angry, and ready to fight. Hence my thorough dismantling of my own father for equivocating about all of this. No more kids gloves, even with people I like or love. I will never let any of these assholes off the hook, but to your point, I will simultaneously be prioritizing my and my family's wellbeing above all else.

Love to you all. Take care of yourselves.

Just focusing on doing some stuff for me.

Put my son the bus (which I always love when I can do).

About to go buy myself something which I rarely do, then have a nice lunch.

We'll see after that.

I've been going back and forth between a shrugging calm, and uncontrollable anger. I'm gonna work out at some point to get some of the energy out.

Ordered Sault’s “9” album on vinyl. Won’t have it tomorrow, but will probably take an edible and just listen to music all day. No TV or scrolling - just listening.

Thinking of going up to Ottawa for the weekend and exploring the city. Never been there, but seems like a city I could reasonable move to.
