Today I published a substack on the recent election in Ohio:
I'm furious. We must be praying fervently to retake Ohio and the rest of the country.
I will go live here on Locals a bit after 5pm ET tonight to pray for better outcomes on the abortion issue going forward.

The hardest part of getting to the gym and achieving results for me has always been consistency and the key to consistency is motivation. Over the years I've developed quite a bit as a lifter and recently I tried something new that I think you guys will benefit a lot from if you have a struggle with motivation in the gym.

I'd be especially grateful if you uploaded all your favorite pepes, memes, and gifs.
Thank you!
