I think I wrote a book? It was sort of an accident, but it's in my linktree: linktr.ee/joe.auerbach
It's a constant influx

It's because they never paid any attention before they were told to be mad about it.

Okay, I'm curious. Are we allowed to know?

For sure. The thing that really worked well for me was calf stretches and working that glute medius. Mine was so weak that my IT band was in regular pain and all I had to do was balance it out. (sickle foot helped, which is just fancy leg lifts for TKD nerds)

Did he pass? Oh sad. I knew he was sick, but I hadn't heard. He straight up solves by plantar fasciitis.

You mean the mountain nation that came into existence from nothing when a god was born doesn't work like the alps? I'm fucking shocked.

The real actual world we live in is full of rivers that flow in ways that break those rules and mountains that sit in ways that break those rules. they got the 100 level intro and want to feel smart.

But also, fuck dude. You mean my infinite flat magical fantasy world doesn't work like earth?

My wife is thinking about having them for her fused spine, because it's excruciating. We'll see if insurance will play ball.

I have a strange affection for Bob and Brad. They're such nerds, but they seem to know their stuff.

Well that's true. And In fairness in this stupid fucking government... Nobody. Because we live in a broken authoritarian State.

In any same government the question would contain the answer.

I might try that. Both my thumbs are hellish. It's really put the hooks into my lifting and martial arts. (Plus the manly art of opening stuff without crying)

I'm sorry, they're saying that federal courts lack the authority to enforce .... Federal law?

Then who do they think has the authority?

I tried but it turns out it was already blocked.

I love block lists on here.

It's the existence of minorities. it's always just minorities existing.

Okay, I gave the kids an energy break, came back with the map, and tried again. Went much better. Lord Syuul better watch his back.

The result is a lot of me saying, "hey, sorry I said that stupid thing. Here's why I said it. You deserve a better parent than I got. here's what I should have said instead and I'm going to try to say that next time".

And that's awkward and humiliating and sucks. But it's also important.

This comes up in therapy so fucking always. The fact is, if I open my mouth and don't know what i was going to say to my kids, what comes out is some shit my mom would say.

Because that's what's in my bones. And I don't have any healthy examples in there. I'm having to make that up as I go.
