Dear Midwest, I’ve been in Tokyo for the past week for the & I’ve noticed that my instinctual use of “Ope!” is universally understood by Japanese and other nationalities. Language barriers have been broken. 😉

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to tweet it, did it really happen?

Every year I try to learn a new trick for my birthday and this year is no exception!

They seemed in a hurry but no sirens. Came south down Columbus before merging onto LSD

Ok, I’m not really offended at all but it is a silly thing to print.
Thanks for following along this harrowing journey.

Use valuable ink to tell me anything more about these bananas, their taste, texture, origin, anything.
But do NOT insult my intelligence by telling me they’re plant-based. Jfc.
I don’t own a firearm but if I did, I’d Bud Light the fuck outta this bag. I’m that offended.

I can sleep well tonight knowing that these BANANAS I just snacked on are plant-based.

The streetest hip in the skatepark. Chunky, abrupt, geometrical, oddly entertaining.

Chat GTP says I won an Gold Medal in Big Air in 2008! 🥇
They must’ve passed that one off to an intern. 😂

I don’t desire to throw under the bus bc I love their employees I’ve interacted with but CTA blue line from ORD - downtown … 2 fucking hrs. With a unannounced bus shuttle in between. The foreseeable hiccups weren’t made clear by staff before boarding (& after paying)
Without sounding arrogant, I’d like to inform you all that I’m a street spot intuitive. I follow the waves of universe and spots just manifest. 🔮

Small airports are great.
(Currently sitting at ATW watching cheese purchases from the gift shop)
Street League Chicago course taking shape. Looks rad.

Shadow on my wall from the Northern lights in Chicago tonight

The sadness is obvious & real. The happiness came from enlightening conversations with local Greenwood residents + the fact that this era of silencing this incident is over. The lights have been turned on. We can now see and learn. At least there’s an opportunity from tragedy.

I’d sort of mentally prepared myself for this tour but it didn’t have the exact effect on me that I thought it would. I thought it would be 100% sadness. It was 99% sadness but 1% happiness.
Why? How?

Seeing these charred reclaimed bricks from the fire/bombing placed on the facade of the building is one of those things. Just pausing & looking at each brick and the stories they could tell, really put things into perspective more than any other medium could (for me anyway)

If you read about this tragedy like I did, you know there are many layers to the story. Like everything in history, visiting the site in person is 100x more impactful. Plus, you’ll always learn more when you immerse yourself in it. That said…

I went to Black Wallstreet/Greenwood today in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Site of the 1921 race massacre. An absolute must see if you can. If you can’t, try to make it happen anyway.
A big piece of American history we weren’t taught in school.

Flying to Tulsa today.
Might be a great trip or might not.
Either way it’ll be OK.

Today: Hikes, bikes and parent-teacher conferences.
All 3 activities made me proud of this little dude. ❤️
