Wow very cool. Netflix "Fishpeople" taking inner city kids surfing.

At the MeWater Foundation, we have witnessed first hand how exposure to the ocean and mother nature has the power to educate, inspire, and empower. We work to address trauma and stress in young people from backgrounds of poverty and violence in the San Francisco Bay Area and provide them a different way of relating to the world and communities they live in.

Nice to know my new bionic asshole is valued at 46 kilos of silver bullion at today's spot price.

‪Gah, finally. Tumblr driving me batty, but it's eventually working if you want to follow my scuba photo blog http://deafferret.tumblr.com I'll take some dive boat pics tomorrow. :)‬

Wow. Tumblr Android client is AWFUL for 7 photo upload on shitty Internet. No indication of progress or when it gives up. Telegram works GREAT sending photos. Ready to abandon Tumblr if anyone has any suggestions for alternative for posting ~10 photos a day from crappy Internet... Mastodon is poor for multiple photos a day? I LOVE the Tumblr /archive feature for browsing pics from years ago...

Currently binge-listening to this amazing podcast:

If the little angel and devil from your shoulders ever hung out without you and made a podcast, this is probably what it would sound like. Equal parts wholesome and horrific, Mormon and the Meth-head is about one unlikely friendship.

Jessa and Aaron have led two completely different lives. While Aaron was stopping strangers on the streets of Milan to teach them about Joseph Smith, Jessa was teaching dudes...

lol ok NOW I'm excited about this trip. See you in a week, suckers :)

Another excellent podcast series you should listen to. The intro threw me, but I assure you these aren't voice actors.
