What’s holding you back?

Most men can feel it—a quiet weight on the chest or in the gut.

The self-doubt.
The stuck-ness.
The fear of speaking your truth or asking for what you want.
The fear of rejection, of vulnerability, and of being seen...

I've known Chris for a while, and he's *magic*. His video on approach anxiety is brilliant -- and actually great for many situations in life, not just the dating world. Also, it's just funny as hell.

I was sick with pneumonia over the holidays, Medicaid was cut, and I'm behind on everything now. I need help. I don't want to be homeless again.

I don't even know if I'll have a job next week...

Thank you.

good morning! after an unexpected leak in my roof and $900 in repairs even with the work I was able to take on this month, income restrictions mean I cannot make incredibly necessary fixes.

My current kitchen light is unsafe and I need a ladder + fan 💕💸

we talked about this a lot on this week's episode of pages & prejudice but a lot of people are going to let their moral and religious objections to porn blind them to the actual issue -- pornhub cares more about your privacy and free speech rights than the government.

Counterpoint- this is actually very normal, and we need to tell kids why it's bad more so than telling them it's abnormal

Pretending we're starting from a point where this is abnormal is why we have grown ass adults who still think "this isn't the america I grew up in"

Yes. It Is.

Since upping my liquid melatonin at night from 10mg to 20mg, I've noticed a significant decrease in brain fog. Something to consider if you've already tried melatonin at a lower dose for long covid. Will try 30mg next and see if there's a significant difference

“Stimming had a SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE impact on autistic adults’ self-rated self-efficacy”

“Results CONTRADICT the negative view often expressed suggesting that stimming should be eradicated”

“Stimming has a POSITIVE effect and SUPPORTS autistic individuals’ ability to COPE with difficulties”

Hey everyone! Since people are leaving Twitter and coming to Blue Sky, this is my (Chris Alvino) official account. "Ain't no thing like me, 'cept me!"
