@IntraRunner Big fan of Janji’s halftights. Their regular shorts are nice too. One of the few brands I feel actually delivers on the semi-premium price point.

Favorite running shorts? Bonus for style points

Some of the most unexpectedly beautiful moments of my life have started by saying something as simple as “hot out today, huh?” to a complete stranger

the new Drake album drops the day of my 100 mile ultramarathon. Very auspicious development

@bobby_on_mars Good looks dawg - your swag is off the charts fr

@patandboujee Shirt is from Sown Again. Loafers from Toscana USA

Big try on day. Trying a new t-shirt brand. Muscle tee, rather than boxy.

I regret to inform you all that the only thing that cured my lifelong insomnia is making myself so exhausted from the day that I crawl into bed and immediately pass out, and I also regret to mention that it also involves doing things that I don’t necessarily *want* to do

Crazy societal shift is flight attendants having to explicitly state to be sure to use headphones instead of playing what’s on your phone out loud like what is going on that that even needs to be said

the boomers are getting oneshotted by instagram reels on facebook

@oldethug This is such a bar. So important

something like this that is very popular but very dangerous in untrained hands is astrology. throughout the process of individuation it’s helpful to have archetypes and tropes, I get it. but in 2021 god taught me that very rarely should you even be looking in the mirror at all.

@oldethug I know the exact one you’re talking about. It was soooooo weird and dystopian (food was rly good tho ngl)

I’m at a digital service combo restaurant off 35 with robot kitchen staff and a locker system for pickup not to be dramatic but the evil is strong here

Being really religious in a post woke re enchanted way is really awful because nobody except fellow internet schizos understand what it’s like to see God in all things and to know that everything is made of love but that completely aligns with science and materialism

I was listening to a brockhampton song (“sugar”) on my run and ran by kevin abstract on the trail and we locked eyes

All of the decisions in my life are based on what would make me the best tool for God to use for his divine will

Real

Me listening to James Blake

I love James Blake as much as the next guy but sometimes I’ll be listening to him like “bro wtf are you whining about now?? damn”

I don’t think Kanye was going exceptionally crazy. He lives the life of a schizophrenic person but if all their paranoid delusions were real - constantly being tracked, pursued, extorted, used, shamed, watched, smeared. Extortion or fear of extortion can only have power over you if you have something to hide, and you get your life back by basically “destroying yourself” before anyone else can. Luckily for Kanye this just meant saying words you’re not supposed to say and being transparent about his porn addictions and other unflattering issues in the public square. All of this while also going through the biggest celebrity divorce of our generation. Kanye has always stood up to power in many forms - one could say his entire body of work is about defeating false idols of power in the name of surrendering himself back to the ultimate power of God - and in the last few years, the power that had to be defeated was a culture and media landscape that was addicted to extortion, bullying, and destruction, on both local and distant scales , even of those who did nothing but reveal basic human traits , who have done nothing but their jobs as entertainers, who have given so much to culture and art and communities. Everywhere you turn in recent years has been miserable discourse from unknown agents, a cacophony of people selling eachother shadows and demands with no backing, constantly pocket-checking, surveilling, obsessing, stalking, and feeling so righteous in it. We all got to see that ugly first hand. I don’t think Kanye is or was exceptionally crazy. I think he had to stare in the face of a very real entity trying to kill him every day and tell it to leave him alone. A bully.

this one here, this fire - fire I’M OUTSIDE MY BODY, YOU RIGHT

@lapislagoons I’ve found that one’s ability to affect somebody’s heart is directly proportional to their ability to speak from/through their own imo every time I can tell something I said hit somebody like a ton of bricks, I wasn’t thinking at all and just trying to be as truthful as possible

I really know how to hit someone in the heart and I’m not sure if that’s a superpower or a social curse
