I cry too, unapologetically nowadays. This was a good read. I’m going to check out Wyman. I see you are no longer on Twitter. Not sure why, but I hope it’s nothing too bad. I need to cut back, myself.

I'm just taking a break from Twitter, I think. The insanity, and my difficulty in controlling my responses, were getting to be too much. I'll be curious to hear your thoughts re: the Wyman piece, since I know you move in a number of those circles.

I finally read the article and he describes why I've used covid as an excuse to extricate myself from the dojo and gym culture. We're buying our first house and I'm looking forward to building a small gym... With a squat rack, hopefully, as my gym buddy who is a Marine but not a bro will be 90 minutes away once we move. Finding male friends who enjoy lifting and sparring who aren't Rogan devotees is very rare. Amusingly enough my buddy Johnny tried to get me to listen to Tides of History years ago but podcasts dig into my writing daydream time where I do most of my imagining. I subscribed to Wyman's newsletter instead.
