To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:

Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.

You won’t.

You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.

That is not who we are.

My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.

For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.

I no longer believe that.

Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.

And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.

That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.

Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.

Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.

Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?

We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.

So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.

You won’t.

The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.

That is the only definition that matters.

Costco is launching a new program that aims to make IVF treatment more affordable for couples hoping to start a family.

Medications typically can cost thousands of dollars out of pocket, but Costco says the program could help cut the price by up to 80%. https://t.co/IH4nqi8Bvb

She should have hit him with the “you can’t park there”

Two things the #Leafs & the Titanic have in common.
Both are in trouble when they hit the ice.
Both are at the bottom of the Atlantic.

@lydiakauppi I’m torn. I don’t like how it looks and it doesn’t appear to fit the look of the neighborhood but that matters not at all my concern is where do you put all the cars that come with a multigenerational household like that?

@elonmusk I’m not sure if it’s practical but could rockets that are planned to land in the ocean be directed to areas that are accessible by recreational scuba divers? It would be cool to dive the wreck of a rocket.

Why is the secretary of health and human services commenting on energy?

[Acyn @Acyn]

RFK JR: Wind is the most expensive energy. They have killed 160 whales in the last two years. They’re wiping out the population. You are going to save the whales on the east coast because of this

@AshleyAlready Fair enough

[Joseph stratmann @Knight_Medic]

@AshleyAlready 182 unread texts?! Idk how you do that it tickles my tism. Sorry you had a bad experience sounds like you dodged a bullet. Read your text messages.

Here’s the problem. He acknowledges the street preacher is wrong but instead of having a conversation with the preacher to police his own backyard he’s still trying to talk to someone who has already declined.

[Jon Root @JonnyRoot_]

@fischybusinesss Well, if what you say is true about the street preacher, that is not how a Christian should act if someone wants to engage in conversation about the validity of the Bible, who Jesus is, etc.

I’m happy to have a conversation though, if you’re willing.
