  1. Business owners think everyone knows who they are. Dead wrong. San Diego gets millions of visitors. People drive 30 minutes for dinner without thinking twice. If you're not on social media, they're finding your competitor instead. I consult businesses daily and this is the biggest miss I see. You could be sitting on a goldmine but nobody knows you exist beyond your block. Social media isn't optional anymore. It's how people discover you. What's stopping you from posting? #SanDiegoBusinessOwner #SocialMediaMarketing #LocalMarketing #BusinessGrowth #EscondidoBusiness

  1. 3 years ago today I retired out of the @marines 🦾 ------------------------------------------------------- Recently @bellsoldgloryshop made and presented me with this incredibly beautiful & badass Shadowbox. So I figured this was the right moment to share the beautiful work with all of you. I am exceptionally grateful and this will be a treasured part of my/our home forever. Please go support @bellsoldgloryshop and their incredible mission. Men's Mental Health Awareness Month; To start, not a day goes by that I don't wish I could've stayed Active Duty in the @marines on the career path I was on, the grief of that will weigh on me forever but I won't let it consume me, I recognize I will never be able to change that. But as a message to anyone still wearing the uniform, any veterans reading this, and a reminder to myself. You can make an impact and lead a life of service far greater outside of the uniform whenever you take it off. Don't ever think you can't. I am forever grateful for how the Marine Corps has helped shape me into the man I am and strive to be. In recent years I've been fortunate enough to have been able to travel the country and the world for adventure, hunting, speaking/sharing my perspective on life/my story, developing lifelong friendships, and most importantly just trying to make a positive impact in the world and people's lives. I've had the opportunity to support, advocate & help fundraise millions of dollars for service members, veterans, wounded/disabled veterans, and their families. Started a business/brand- chose to step away from that, slowly start another, became a Certified Personal Trainer & an Adaptive and Inclusive Trainer, obtained my open water dive certification and have experienced/achieved so many other things and life-long goals behind the scenes. None of that in any particular order. But most importantly I have found my Faith, am educating myself through still discovering it, and am finally about to start a family. Why share all of this? Hopefully for the person that needs to hear this-Continued below⬇️ #NeverAVictim

  3. 🌸 𝒪𝓊𝓇 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝒿𝑜𝓎 𝒸𝒶𝓃𝓃𝑜𝓉 𝓉𝓇𝓊𝓁𝓎 𝒷𝑒 𝓅𝓊𝓉 𝒾𝓃𝓉𝑜 𝓌𝑜𝓇𝒹𝓈 • We are so blessed to be able to announce that we will be welcoming a sweet baby boy into this beautiful world on July 4th 2026. Our third baby🤍 This past year we lost two sweet babies…our first angel in February and our second angel in August. We will always love, remember, and cherish them both and we have found comfort knowing that they are forever safe in His arms… I’m grateful to be loved and cared for by the kindest man in the world. Tyler, you will be the most incredible father to our son and it brings me great joy to know that I will witness you raise him to be mentally and physically strong. -Victoria We love our little family always 🤍 This has been my greatest dream my entire life. To be able to raise a child and human, kinder and better than I could ever hope to be. To be the father I never had. He’s going to be raised by the kindest, most loving woman I have ever met. It is truly surreal to be able to share this. Son, you are loved by us both more than you will ever know. We can’t wait to meet you. -Tyler • • • • • 𝑀𝑒𝓂𝑜𝓇𝒾𝑒𝓈 𝒸𝒶𝓅𝓉𝓊𝓇𝑒𝒹 𝒷𝓎 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒶𝓁𝓌𝒶𝓎𝓈 𝒾𝓃𝒸𝓇𝑒𝒹𝒾𝒷𝓁𝑒 𝒯𝒾𝒶 𝒟𝓊𝒻𝑜𝓊𝓇 @t.d.photo • • #rainbowbaby #cherryblossomsdc #announcement #pregnancy

  1. @manthropologytv asks men a simple question “Why are men like this?” it’s open ended enough that they could take it anyway they want to. Instead, it breaks their brains. So why are men like this? In her book the Will to Change bell hooks shows us how the dominant forces in our society train men to be this way. #exvangelical #deconstruction #menshealth

  3. In 1967, French theorist Guy Debord argued that capitalism replaces real lived experience with representations of that experience. The performance produces the correct emotion on schedule. The audience consumes it. That consumption becomes a substitute for actual action. Nobody has to do anything. A reenactment of state murder and a youth group dramatizing salvation run on the same logic, they both stage an overwhelming reality so that feeling it becomes enough. Kinda like what Nancy Pelosi in a kente cloth was trying and failing to do. Art can be protest. Marxist playwright Bertolt Brecht argued that genuinely political art should prevent the audience from dissolving into the performance. It should push them back out into the world with questions they have to answer through action. The feeling is not the destination. Both of these clips do the opposite. The catharsis gets discharged inside the performance and the world stays the same. It ends up making a mockery of the thing it is trying to honor. #exvangelical #deconstruction #christianity #protestart

  2. K2, I have been waiting for the right words but I don’t know if I will ever have them. You weren’t just my teammate, or friend, you were my brother. Your smile and energy was so contagious and you brought so much joy into every single room that you entered. All those talks for hours on the field after practice paid off brother, we made history, and I promise you we will make sure your legacy lives on. The memories we made will stay with me for the rest of my life ♾️. You were so loved, I just wish I could have told you it one more time. Get your rest brother, hold it down up there for me. I’ll see you soon. I LOVE YOU 2ski #dontplay #LLK2 #tunechi ❤️‍🔥🫂♾️💔

  1. Stop calling men simps for respecting women and being obsessed w us!! Like?? That’s literally what they’re supposed to do?? We gotta stop shaming dudes for being kind / respectful / submissive cuz I’m fucking tired of these neanderthals who haven’t evolved past “ME SMASH BIG ROCK!” Tbh sometimes I find myself subconsciously shaming men for those behaviors, and it’s definitely because of my internalized misogyny. It’s funny when people call guys simps because I obviously support bullying men! But, it actually only hurts women — calling men simps reinforces the idea that it’s emasculating to treat a woman well. Anyway, I think we need a pejorative term for NON-simps tbh so sound off below with your ideas!

  2. As some of you know, last year I wrote a thesis on psychiatric abuse against women of color in the 1960s-1970s. In writing it, I did a lot of research on the history of anti-Blackness within psychiatry and the ways it has impacted the diagnoses and treatments Black Americans have received over time. Racism has long been embedded within the discipline of psychiatry and still remains today. These slides contain only a small fraction of the structural injustices committed against Black Americans. I would recommend also doing your own in-depth research on the topic as there is much to learn about. I hope all my non-Black followers take the time to read through this information and remember the names of mentally ill Black Americans who were murdered by the police. #blacklivesmatter

  3. There is way too much stigma surrounding hitting curbs and scratching and denting your car. Bitches who hit curbs and scratch their cars on a daily basis are extremely sexy. We as a society need to normalize being hot but a bad driver. Also, IMO scratching your car is really cool. It’s like getting a tattoo. Free personalization of your vehicle! Tell me your dumbest driving mistake below so I can feel better about myself
