You've only got one life to live, but if you do it right, that's all you need.

Since birth, I've been me. Parts have changed and parts have stayed the same. Opinions are my own.

Make no mistake, adulting is hard work. We make it harder by overthinking.

When I'm trying get out of my own way I borrow a line from Tim Ferris and ask myself "What would this look like if it was easy?"

It's good to be a hard worker, but do yourself a favor and be smart about it as well.

I can't believe we are only three holiday filled weeks away from the end of the year.

This is adulting. Sometimes it's good when time flies, sometimes you wish you had more to look back on.

All murder is bad. Picking and choosing the murders you care about for political purposes is wrong in all levels.

Our government is infested with racist Nazis.

4 people shot, two killed by right wing extremist in Minnesota who has a list of other Democrats to kill next, crickets. 🧵

Adulting these days means being confronted with near infinite options. Being busy isn't enough.

You will never be able to do it all. You will be able to do enough if you live intentionally.

I believe in reasons but not excuses, and that has led me to a happier life.

Excuses absolve you from the consequences of your actions. That's for being sick and missing school.

Even some beasts are evolved enough to get this.

If you are curious about the concept of Ren, or humaneness, how it aligns with other religions , and even mathematically proven winning strategies? Check the first comment.

Taxes on capital should be as high or higher than labor. Tax loopholes allowing the rich to avoid taxes entirely need to be slammed shut.

America was at it's greatest when we had a thriving middle class, not in it's periods of rampant oligarchy. 💯

Project 2029 item here. The pardon must be reformed. This is how rule of law breaks down. Pardons should come from a commission or jury, not a king selling them for money or favors.

8 Democratic Senators need to go.

Keep looking for and encouraging candidates until there are two for every office. We need choice within the party to get the results we need in the halls of power.

Now is the time to #PushLeft on economic and governance issues.

You have to make them care. Your voice matters. You are powerless if you don't use it.

Know your elected officials. Push them left or find someone to replace them.

It's not time to abandon the Democratic party, it's time to make it progressive again.

It's primary season.

Revering someone without honoring what they stood for doesn't make much sense.

There's nothing wrong with having your morality informed by your religion. It is foolish to assume that you need religion to have morality.

Good water can come from many wells.

The GOP's shutdown and budget plan is about to hit working families. Here's the truth about what's happening and what we must do.

Make no mistake: We are facing these cuts because the GOP chose this path.

Fortunately, now you know.

Nevermind the sinking feeling you get when you read that. The facts are stated right in the sentence. It does dramatically improve the quality of your life.

Choose your future. Choose adulting.
