How i Stop Death with... Jesse!

via #GOLIVEfest 🖐🏿🥳

Jesse reminds me to heal via protecting black women when i think about his first girlfriend Rubye (also my best friend at the time) & how they were a cool quietly nonconforming couple in a time when most white boys me & Jesse's age were raised in & defined by ethnic enclaves 💜🔊

Jesse inspires me to grow when i chat with him about the garden he & his lovely wife grow annually~ it's so rewarding to pick up tips from what they're interested in. They also were among the first folk to give to our #reparations funded food forest Sunset Park on 79th. They rock

Jesse inspires me to connect whenever we talk about politics because we both agree to support working class ppl via redistribution of wealth / power / resources. i'm grateful to hear his views! He also was among the first to sign our #COVIDstrike ⬛ petition for a #GeneralStrike!

Jesse inspires me to celebrate black artists bc he almost always let's me put on hip-hop in rooms where other (white) people might want to hear something unmelanated or old. We also celebrate female pop together & i started my musical journey as a subversive solo artist with him.

How i Stop Death with... Walker!

via #GOLIVEfest ✋🏿🥳

Walker inspires me to heal when i think about how we met at the party of a black girl he was besties with~ we've protected women via our friendship(s) & shared artistry by creating space for feminine expression as much as possible. Of all my white male friends we kiki the most 💜

Walker reminds me to grow when i think of my 1st farm on the southside & how he redesigned our logo in the 2nd half of the 2010s. Every time i visit our page i see his beautiful art giving grace & emotional power to the symbol of a sunflower (a plant i still use as a motif!) 🌻

Walker inspires me to connect to other freelance artists like ourselves, to advocate for their right to exist & the responsibility of society to take care of our gifts as we use them to likewise care for their universe we are reflecting. This means not giving into automated "art." 🌐

Walker inspires me to celebrate when i see his amazing artwork much of which canonizes pop culture in his unique style~ whether it's pop girls, wrestlers, Bulls players he embodies pop culture as a utopian network where different interests & types of people can gather in harmony. 🎉

How i Stop Death with... Katie!

via #GOLIVEfest ✋🏿🥳

Katie inspires me to heal when i think of all the frat culture we navigated together at school & how we created feminine centered spaces within that, culminating in our current friend group from school which is us plus two of our other female peers who bonded via cultural osmosis.

Katie reminds me to grow whenever we all eat together & she puts me onto new vegetarian / vegan recipes. Whether it's snacks or main courses she always has an innovative way to use vegetables. i hope to use her methods for more of my own plant-based health blogging very soon too!

Katie inspires me to connect because we come from different backgrounds; a man from a southside black neighborhood that was a victim of white flight & she, raised in a nicer part of the state. Yet we still find solidarity in shared experiences & make the world better for all.

Katie inspires me to celebrate feminine icons & the gifts of domestic bliss. Her home is always an inspiring example of how to welcome guests and leave them better than before. We have loud fun, take care of each other (incl. plants & non-humans) then make sure we get home safely.

'i'm gonna have to science the shit out of this'

~ Matt Damon, The Martian

i can make my sperm healthier by not getting COVID- that's today's answer. As far as last post's goal, i've been doing pretty good. Not 30 mins a cardio a day but at least 30 mins of exercise 1-5 days a week for the past month & a half. The best fitness i've probably had since starting this blog nearly a decade (!) ago.

My diet is still trashy bc of cheating on my plant-based groceries but today i started my longstanding goal of steaming instead of frying my veggies, saving 100 - 400 calories. It was in the microwave but that's still a tip for ya, faithful reader. When i have more time to prepare a meal i'll definitely be using the stovetop like i did with the rice i had for breakfast.

Today's Goal: Steaming instead of frying my meals

Today's Question: How does the darkness of winter affect my metabolism?

'u could have a trophy, i no longer need those'

~ Doja Cat, "Wet Vagina"

All i wanted on this health journey for the last half decade was to ride my bike to my grandad's again. Yesterday i inherited his bike & had the hardest ride of my life on the way back home.

Comparing my cheat day yesterday with today, i burned 250 calories during my 35 min bike ride yesterday and 175 during my 25 min one today. Because i doordashed non-plant based food my calories consumed came to [redacted] yesterday.

Today it was [redacted]... even with less exercise i had a much healthier day.

Today's Goal: Half hour of cardio everyday

Today's Question: How can i make my sperm healthier?

'not yet tired, but i mite b sore...'

~ Chance The Rapper, "Buried Alive"

Last month was the most successful month of working out & dieting i've had in perhaps a decade. The real challenge of this blog was for a brief window about me in my obvious prime, but searching for answers that anyone could google. Anybody vain or supported enough could figure out how to count calories. But what about the long haulers? COVID long haulers?

This is for everyone who needs encouragement a decade later. For everyone betrayed & tired. This is for you to be inspired, for me, this is your reminder.

i learned that you can't smoke cannabis & daydrink 24/7 when you have a baby food forest to take care of. My plan is to ride my bike a half hour everyday.

Today's Question: How many calories does a half hour bike ride burn?

Today's Goal: Lose 100 pounds in 6 months

'i'll b damned if i cannot dance w/ u'

– Beyoncé, "TEXAS HOLD EM"

"i fucking ruined my body... and it's too late for me"

This is my 2nd or 3rd week of being plant-based. for the last month or so i've incorporated dried mint into my heavy cannabis tobacco smoking routine. During the Beyoncé album tonight, off maybe 250/300mg of a gummy, the paranoia slash reality check kicked in especially as i tried to burn my lungs to innocent guitar strums from inside the hearts of children.

The vitality of Beyoncé as manifested through her restless creativity and emotional honesty put a mirror up to me and my life choices. My relationships, my work. i wrote this from inside service to all of you. By tagging COWBOY CARTER and being inspired to focus on my farming we tap in to take it to the stars. i'm lucky that i know enough from a past decade or so of health-consciousness to pivot. i have a link card. i have a free home & fresh food. by tapping in with this blog and within a bigger platform we all become stronger.

i most likely had non-vegan pizza during my plant-based time. i'd also like to cut out gluten. These are banal things that strike me now that i'm dying. My chest pounds, my canals weak, my eyes sunken, my face swollen, skin discolored. Like my friend before she died, like she was dying. From sadness? i don't know, bc i've been dying from sadness. In solidarity i tell myself. And so i die alone.

At least my grandfather had someone there. i'm going to get up and take my blood pressure in a bit.i'll do the things my peers are afraid to do. They've been smoking and drinking, ruining their bodies with my microplastics. Buying posion products in big plastic. From this point on, i'm counting my gains.

Make GAINS in air quality. Make GAINS in tasks concerning water quality. And Medical Information. Yes, these are the things i should have done befofe i died.

'global access off a muhfuckin adlib'

~ Young Thug, "GLOBAL ACCESS."

This past week showed my hard work paying off. i worked out and healed myself to my quadruple album 24 & compiled the experience for others! Can't wait to check out others' 24 Experiences.

As someone who's moved to identifying as plant-based it's been difficult at times to satisfy my caloric desires. Next week i'll leave dairy and meat behind for good. For now, i'm proud of just eating a veggie taco and enjoying it.

Today's Question: What are all the wild food sources growing around Sunset Park on 79th?

'ladies & gentlemen! the moment u've all been waiting for!'

~ Eminem, "Crack a Bottle"

Been getting the soil & sky ready for my body. The giant sunflowers in my backyard are healing my lungs via the soil they detoxify. The other sunflowers i've planted around my community are doing the same.

This makes the brain work/mental health of myself and all those around me more efficient. The benefit of things like exercise, dieting & overall peace feel appealing compared to chaos brought by trash.

My digits typing this and the neurons firing behind them are leading to reparations and regeneration. We'll all be enjoying fresh food & free homes soon!

My body smiles at the thought of building utopia!

Our plant base has never been stronger

Today's Question: What will our food forest produce this winter?

Today's Goal: Meal planning for the next five years via Sunset Park on 79th 🌻
