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.

BREAKING: Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello just BURIED Trump’s Freedom 250 concerts under an avalanche of rock legends.
Donald Trump's Great American State Fair — his big musical celebration of America's 250th birthday — features Vanilla Ice, a version of Milli Vanilli whose original member died in 1998, and Bret Michaels of Poison. Artists have been fleeing it since the day it was announced.
Tom Morello just answered with the Foo Fighters, Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews, Joan Baez, Cypress Hill, Killer Mike, Dropkick Murphys, Jack Black, System of a Down's Serj Tankian, Alabama Shakes' Brittany Howard, Run-DMC's Darryl McDaniels, and Soundgarden/Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron.
The contrast could not be more devastating.
Morello's Power to the People Festival will take place on October 3rd at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland — exactly one month before the midterm elections — with any of a dozen acts on the bill capable of selling out the venue by themselves. Springsteen, who just finished his protest-heavy Land of Hope and Dreams Tour under FBI protection due to death threats from Trump supporters, announced the festival from the stage at Nationals Park on the tour's closing night.
The festival will include a "Freedom Village" — an immersive space for civic engagement, grassroots organizing, mutual aid, and social impact initiatives. A portion of ticket proceeds, and 100 percent of VIP ticket sales, go directly to pro-democracy organizations VoteRiders and HeadCount.
Trump's concert was paid for by Boeing, Shell, Toyota, and Royal Caribbean — companies regulated by his own cabinet. Morello's festival is funding voter registration.
Trump's lineup includes an act whose original member died in 1998, a rapper whose last hit was in 1990, and a Celebrity Apprentice winner. Morello's lineup includes living legends who are actively touring, recording, and selling out arenas worldwide.
Young MC fled Trump's concert because nobody told him it was political. C+C Music Factory's frontman stayed while saying on camera that he doesn't "f--- with Trump." Morris Day simply posted, "It's a no from me."
Meanwhile, Springsteen announced his participation in the Power to the People event from a sold-out stadium in Washington DC during his “Land Of Hope & Dreams” tour.
This is what the resistance sounds like. And it sounds a whole lot better than "Ice Ice Baby."
Tickets for the Power to the People Festival go on sale on May 30 at 10AM ET, but you can sign up for pre-sale access on May 29 at 10AM ET via sign-up on the Power to the People website.

Attention Canadian #smokefleet members, I made you a new hashtag, eh? #CanadianBakin is how you will identify yourselves going forward. Now go fuck with some Nazi hosers.
26-year-old Polish guitar virtuoso Marcin Patrzałek responds to those claiming his music is fake.
He created this tutorial-style video to show exactly how he plays so incredibly well – and yes, it’s all performed live on a single guitar.
He is incredible! 👌👌
Back to explain again to people who love to rage bait things. Canada didn’t exactly lose 84,000 jobs in February. People see numbers and don’t look into details.
April 7th, we finish this.
Democrats. Independents. Republicans who are ready for something different — I’m asking for your vote.
We’re getting right back to knocking doors, making calls, and earning every single vote.
This coalition can win. Let’s go do it. #GA14
Where are the motherfuckers who love pedophiles to say that the video is fake?
And this is a mild video. They haven't released the worst ones.
Keep talking, keep sharing.
Why is everyone all of a sudden going straight to calling you a "retard" when they disagree with you? Like, I was born in the 80's and grew up in the 90's. We got called three of the major no-no's daily back then.
I worked them out of my vocab a long time ago, but back then you'd be called a "f@g, g@y, and ret@rd" on a regular basis.
When someone jumps straight to one of those insults online I think it has the opposite of their desired effect. They hope it will trigger you, but it really just makes them look like they never grew up and shouldn't be taken seriously. As soon as they drop one of those, my brain just goes "oh okay so I'm talking to someone who is mentally in 6th grade and not in the AP classes either."
It’s time for another We Do Not Care Club Announcement! 🎉📣📣📣
This one is the Friendship Edition, some of these hit hard.
Friendship shouldn’t be hard work, it shouldn’t be exhausting.
True friendship is easy and effortless. ❤️
