  • The only way leftist will win any political ground is by winning allies

    Screaming down every person who you have a disagreement with politically will only solidify their dislike for the people you claim to represent

    It’s funny to me seeing you claim that the other people lack awareness and empathy when you seemingly fail to grasp that people don’t enjoy the way you are portraying your political views

    Unfortunately in our current election system, voting for the lesser evil is what we have to do.

    Vote with your heart in the primaries, vote strategically in the end. So is the curse of our first past the post voting system.

    And do what you can to help get the people who want to do positive change in your local elections into office. The only path to ranked choice voting is getting enough support in the states, there’s very little chance we’ll get it on the national stage without it becoming a reality on the state level.


  • I’m primarily on my Blahaj account but I’m currently using one of my alts as Jerboa is crashing when I try to log into my Beehaw account (which requires me to clear the app storage to switch accounts) and Blahaj is currently having server issues again.

    Personally I dig the vibes of the Blahaj folks

    Mostly I sub to communities all over the fediverse, though this alt is a bit more bare as I mostly keep them separated in terms of where I interact.








  • It’s kind of hard to describe really

    It’s like you’re lost in the movements, you’re caught in the flow, the strain is no longer a struggle, you just flow, you move and it moves.

    Your reps go on, your sets flow together, the down time ceases being a factor, you’re there.

    The presence of mind and body, you are there, you are now, you move.

    Numbers mean nothing but you know when the reps are done, the exercises flow together.

    Someone could call your name and you wouldn’t know it as it’s not in your mind.

    There’s only the movement, there’s only the flow.

    There is no you, there is no weights, there is no other, there is only movement and flow.

    And when it’s over you know it, yet feel like you could go a second time through the whole affair. And sometimes I do and then I feel Godly for the whole day and sometimes the next.

    And the sleep quality that night is beyond description.

    I’ve hit that state many times doing calisthenics (my typical workout), when out biking, and when out hiking. It’s always the same really.

    Hour long calisthenics routine? What’s a second hour really?

    20 mile bike ride? I could go another round, why not snag some dinner from that food cart I got lunch at?

    15 mile hike? Well tonight’s going to be even better with all the stars, what’s a second trip around the mountain?

    You don’t get there immediately, you won’t get there every time, but when you do it’s bliss.
