#BlueEarth #ResistanceUnited Good morning, friends! I was watching the birds at our feeder as I ate my toast and drank my coffee. We are the guardians of so many creatures. Let’s not use lawn services or weed killers that are toxic to those who share our space. Save our little friends and our earth.

we really did spend like 20 years trying to "convince" people to care about their neighbor. all the while they genuinely believed they were the true followers of a book that's supposed to tell them how to fucking do it these people are bullies. and bullies don't care if you're playing nice.

I wonder how long it'll take for people to catch up and realize that a very large portion of the people who voted for this to happen aren't stupid or ignorant. they're just mean people who think others should suffer unimaginable pain because someone dared scrape their boots.

Yknow what honestly sucks about the last 12 years in politics? Establishment Democrats let the cruel people just walk all over us. While it has good intentions, the "we go high" idea only works to a certain degree.

#MensMentalHealth #Empathy #biwifeenergy #kenough I think it's really important men like me take a moment after last week to think about what we can do to help those around us. I think it's time we start really helping our friends disengage from the toxicity that pulls our bros toward anger.

And finally here we are. 5 months in and Orion is still landing some BEAUTIFUL stabs. #HEMA has genuinely changed my life. I'm an IT guy, so sitting on my ass is part of the gig. This sport has gotten me eating better, moving more, and loving it through and through! #fencing #exercise #growth

My first time against a new weapon! This wonderful individual is Kell, an absolute terror with a rapier. I truly had no idea how to handle this fight, but that's what you do in #Hema! You face new challenges that make you think and adapt! #Fencing #combat #tournament

My first inhouse tournament! I'm in green, and that mountain of a man is my boy Orion. He started at the same time as me in our #HEMA class, but MAN is he a LEGEND of feints and stabs. #Fencing #combat #tournament

Me on the left, this is my first scored match against an opponent! AND it's the guy from my first real spar! #HEMA is all about growth over time, and this clip shows how we both changed as we learned and applied new concepts. #fencing #combat #stretto

When I started #HEMA, I didn't want to just learn to swing a sword. I wanted to learn how to do it right, and to do that you need to challenge yourself. And what better challenge than to go against your own coach! Here's me sparring her! I learned a LOT that day. #Fencing #greatcoach

Here's me in my first real spar out of my beginners #Hema class against a great friend of mine, Rayne. She specializes in closing distances and getting some devastating crafty moves! At this point, I've gotten a loose grip on the basics and I'm starting to figure out how I fight. #fencing #combat

Here's me on that same day against a favorite fencer of mine! #HEMA is like any other combat sport. Footwork, spatial awareness, and control. All things that I was still working on in this clip! #swords #fencing #longsword #fiore

Lets get you caught up #bluesky! Hi my name is Bird, I'm a #Hema fencer learning Italian Longsword! #Fiore. Here's my first full gear spar with me on the right. This is about two months into the hobby. I started #fencing as a way to exercise but it has evolved into a passion!
