Just a guy in midlife who stumbled his way through a phenomenal design career. Now I’m letting go of every last shred of who I was pretending to be.

Great commentary, as always, from @meidastouch.com

What’s the most rock ‘n’ roll thing you’ve ever done?

Who thinks getting a job is just sourcing your authority outside of yourself?

What’s with all these alerts about getting blocked? Am I that offensive?

What do you think about how Bluesky tells you when someone has blocked you?

“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace” –Jimi Hendrix

Just a reminder… If you yell at someone the probability of them hearing you is… 0

"Pick just 1 issue you're passionate about and engage. (And doomscrolling doesn't count!) Join a group that cares about your issue and act. And if you can't find one, start one." – @slotkin.senate.gov (from the Democractic rebuttal to Trump last night) Here's the link in case you missed it…

If Elon Musk can become the most powerful man on Earth, then why the fuck can’t The Midlife Mystic?

Does anyone have any advice—if I want to emulate Jimmy Page’s guitar solo on Stairway to Heaven—of an amp and guitar I could use to do that divine expression justice? I’ve wanted to be able to play it since I was 13, and at 48, I think I’ve finally got it down! 🤘🎸

Jerry Garcia was amazing because he let himself stay constantly connected to the wonders of the universe. However, that maybe didn’t lead him to be the best father, or the best tender to earthly matters in general, and it’s too bad because I can really imagine him still with us. Maybe…

This is what I love about Jimi Hendrix. He was one of those people who wasn’t afraid to let himself be magical. He let the universe express itself through him. And he was so big that he’s still in the room with us when we put on a song like, “Foxy Lady.”

You wanna know the solution to all this shit? I’m it, baby.

Trans people who are hurting as a result of Trump, I’m sorry. I love you.

Ready to transcend who you used to be?

If you’re looking for the freedom to be yourself, you’ve found the guy to help you with it.

If you think the world needs more mysticism then let’s be friends.

“Hitler wanted to end the war, just not the way it ended.” Thank fucking God for Jon Stewart.

Marco Rubio isn’t spineless. He’s a fucking human who is in the middle of having his sense of identity mutilated by narcissists. It’s exactly what happened to Tim Walz in the VP debate where you saw a narcissist suck the soul out of an empath in front of your eyes…
