Anyone out there still collecting cards? This hobby has yet to get old for me.

@thesiskokid 80 here today ☀️

68 outside = walking outside before it snows later this week. What’s the weather like where you’re at?

I don’t want to be someone who protects others because of what they produce - I want to be someone who protects others because they are a person.

Went to a new gym with my older brother. We’re both cancer survivors. He is missing half his left hip. I have a 13 inch scar across my stomach. We both nearly died. He benched 435. I hit 185. Doctors said we wouldn’t be able to. We did. We are. Don’t quit!

@thesiskokid Many congratulations 🎉

A book I ghostwrote recently hit Amazon bestseller status, which is always an awesome feeling. But what meant more was that the author, who has become a friend, thanked me in the acknowledgements. As a ghostwriter, I’m usually behind the scenes, so that acknowledgment was rad.

Ideas multiply when tested, but rot when hoarded. I started my 1st nonprofit when I was homeless. I could afford a bean burrito from Taco Bell and decided to write down my ideas on a napkin. Since I’ve helped serve over 1 million free meals. Create! We need your ideas.

@thesiskokid 🙏🏽

Thinks my grandma, she will be 96 in April. She took a bad fall and is in the hospital- any prayers and good vibes appreciated.

@thesiskokid Anything AC/DC

Anyone have some music recommendations for the gym? Looking to add to my playlist. And go.

@thesiskokid ❤️❤️

@chriserikthomas We typically offer contributors the ability to promote their work through our Substack. What would be awesome is if we could figure how to offer contributors free subscriptions to the Substack, but we're still figuring that out...

@ConsequenceF Just to confirm, is this paid?
