President Biden is a man of deep faith and extraordinary resilience. Chasten and I are keeping him, and the entire Biden family, in our prayers for strength and healing.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.
Great discussions
Join the most interesting and insightful discussions.
The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc.
Oh and get the money out of politics
"I was able to empathize with others in a way that transcended differences, whether they were skin color, experience, or ethnic background.
I have learned to cherish my existence between two worlds, my difference from others that I meet, and their difference from me. Being different and feeling out of place might be uncomfortable and lonely sometimes, but it also gives you a lot of perspective."
Yes!!! I love this. I am a WSM (White Straight Male) but I grew up feeling like an alien because I was very sensitive, really deep, emotional, and always interested more in transcendent truths than things as myopic and superficial as skin pigment. We all have so much more in common than different, and yet simultaneously we're all unique individuals who are like no one else. We are utterly, totally ourselves. As a kid I made friends from a much lower class than me because I simply connected more with these kinds of people. I found them intriguing, hard-working, authentic and tough in a way I wasn't. I've always made friends who were not white because it was what's inside that matters, not outside. Once you push past the superficial barriers of race and gender and sex and class you get to the same thing: Our common, individual and yet collective humanity.
