Some real darkest timeline stuff going on this year hahaha. Bring on the draft!

Honestly it's the silliest thing. I like just the tactile sensation of the strings under my fingers. Also I think that guitars just look really cool, so I just gravitate towards picking one up whenever I get a free moment in the apartment. This is why my guitar lives right next to my desk so I can see it and remember to play it frequently.

Nice setup, I'm SUCH a sucker for a white j bass. Even looking at it makes me wish I were better at the bass.

I think I probably ran consistently for at least 3 years before signing up for a race ever occured to me, haha. I think I eventually signed up for a Thanksgiving 10k, and while I was very comfortable with the distance, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing in terms of race day logistics. I was home from college at the time and I had forgotten my running shorts so I ended up running in my brother's sweatpants which were A) pants and B) much too large for me. Additionally, I had not put together that I wouldn't have a place to store anything and had brought a drawstring bag with me from the car so I ran the whole race with that bouncing around behind me, pants billowing in the wind 😂

As someone with not a ton of exposure to this topic, it's heartbreaking to hear about the environment that these people grow up in, and how life they are robbed of by an institution of fear and control. I cannot imagine how difficult it must be to break free of the cycle when everything and everyone you've ever known is working against you do hard. I'm glad that their children are thriving in school and showing them that all that effort and grief was for a reason.

It would actually be an incredible power move to gig with a sweet guitar covered in smudged signatures from a famous band that you don't really know / have an appreciation for. Still, I'm glad it made its way to you, thanks for sharing!

Is that an offset on a rug that I spy?? Sweet build! A lot of offset tele bodies look kinda strange to me but this one just feels right. Love the grain on the body.

Well said. Honestly while I'm sure many, especially those that have made it here, would have paid an ongoing subscription for a perpetually unshittified Reddit / other social media, the VAST majority of users are going to flock to a free version. We didn't get where we are by accident.
