I’m about to make another NOSTR recruitment video over on the ol’ Tickety Tok before it’s decommissioned (for Americans) on the 17th. I’m not even sad about TikTok getting banned this time because the censorship is truly out of control over there. (It’s out of control on meta too, but they’ve really cracked down on TikTok in the past 23 months). It’s not fun anymore honestly. But I will miss my mutuals. Maybe I’ll convince some of them to come here and hang out.

The mainstream social platforms have gotten so tiresome. The algorithms have everyone in their own filter bubble so that it’s like no one is experiencing the same reality, and everyone is convinced and self-righteous about their version of reality. The “moderation” has become so intense and sensitive that I got a strike on my account for saying “ku klux klan jokes really aren’t funny right now for white or black people” yet hundreds of actual bullying comments calling conservatives klansmen were given a pass? What? I’m not even conservative, but I think the whole “all conservatives are extremists” bullshit is unhelpful and not in my own self interest as someone who doesn’t want us to have another civil war… but apparently that’s controversial and I just need to shut up? Nostr is the only place that makes sense anymore. Smh.

Did I mention the audio version of my book is available now? 🥰 Read by the author (you’ve been warned). You can find it here: https://nontoxicmen.org/

Are aubergines this size still good to eat? I left my garden alone for 3 weeks to finish my book and now we have this situation 😅 #asknostr

This puppy is a menace 😅 why is he like this?

My book in the wild! 🤩

It’s official. I’m a self-published author. 😎 Toxic masculinity is a real problem, not just for women and children, but also for men. The solution to this problem is not to deny that it exists nor to make men be more like women. Remember what MLK Jr said: that darkness cannot drive out darkness? Well, that’s why I wrote this book - to illuminate the strengths and struggles of good men and the virtues that redeem them from their toxic shadows. Drawing from Jungian psychology, I describe 12 archetypes of masculinity through stories from pop culture, history, and myth, and we explore how each type grows into the men they were born to be. Don’t just be a REAL man. Be a real GOOD man. Learn more at nontoxicmen.org #writer #author #menshealth #motivation #storyteller #growstr

POLL — when my new book Nontoxic Masculinity: A Celebration of Good Men launches on Aug 1, I get to add a teaser chapter to the listing. The book is a collection of stories about men (real & myth) who represent the 12 archetypes of masculinity and what we can learn from them. My question to you is: which chapter should I post as a teaser? 1. The Warrior 2. The Magician 3. The King 4. The Lover 5. The Joker 6. The Hero 7. The Caregiver 8. The Sage 9. The Explorer 10. The Innocent 11. The Rebel 12. The Creator

LOL so far I’ve had two kinds of trolls on my book: 1) Toxic females who think no man deserves to be called “good”. 2) Toxic males who think I’m trying to feminize them. Both could not be more wrong. At least they have each other for company in the vast sea of their bad assumptions. 😄

I guess this person doesn’t understand the meaning of “don’t judge a book by its cover” lmao View quoted note →
