The Turtleskin Podcast

Never thought I'd be back... Thankfully, the name of this Pod comes from a joke that someone else made of me. Blerd will likely be considered a 'slur' soon, I hope I don't have the change the name of it. Thankful return. May you all be blessed.

Steven Universe is one of those great animated shows that, while celebrated, STILL doesn't get what I think it deserves. Some of the episodes will have me running hot, but all in all, its beauty and depth have been captivating.

The god called me early. He gets to. That's my dawg. Where is the love? Fuck Will.i.am.

Truthfully, dialogue solves a lot of problems. But Pride has to leave the room first. Humility has to enter, take a seat and be offered a cold beverage.

It's out of control now. Let people have shit. Let people enjoy shit. Much worse is being done and said in the world. This shouldn't be as divisive as it is... Be better.

I was never in any danger. I was never tired. If anything, I was saddened. Or at least, an approximation to it. Blackness can feel like a burden, almost a curse. But most wouldn't rather be anything else.

All things must pass. That's been what my most intrusive thoughts have consisted of lately. Endings. Finality. Completion. Isn't it the worst when all the tacos are gone? Or you beat that game that has limited replay-ability? But things have to end, for better or worse. And a new beginning isn't guaranteed. Pour your entirety into your journey. We don't know when it's the last ride.

Wings and Liquor; I don't smoke, so that's out. I hate driving so I have to ride a bus or take a plane. And airports are stupid. The bus is uncomfortable. I love being there though, it's tragic.

Allow NOTHING to affect your Purpose. Wherever the Universe points you, you need to focus on getting there whether by land, sea or air.

Love isn't elusive. It's literally right there. It always is. Your ego is standing in your way.

Awareness, Accessibility and Availability is how we will be able to embrace and enjoy more of what we love, together. Granted, it's easier said than done but the blueprint is there.

Which group are you? Well that is determined by who YOU are... and that's a question that many are afraid to ask. That's fair. Foolish but fair. I want you to come with me on a journey to your own deconstruction

We'll probably never be happy...

It deserves more love and respect. Many more of you should be mobbed on for your dumb ass opinions.

Fighting a war on all fronts as an individual is an exercise in futility. But you didn't need me to tell you that... Right?

The terms Dusty and Ashy are INFURIATING because they're such cringe ass terms... This isn't something I'm willing to change my mind on. Argue with whoever you pray to... Be sad more quietly.

This shouldn't be an episode. This SHOULD be discussed. More openly. More freely. With feelings left at the front door

The acronym should spell itself. That shit got outta hand kinda quickly. We need to discuss the foolishness and fuckery of it all. There's a lot to be upset about, all around... But what we're NOT gonna do is be absurd.

'Blerd Love' will ALWAYS infuriate me. As a concept, construct and overall bad idea. Your community isn't your individual personality. Your interests are the entirety of your personality. Even if they were, 'like' personalities don't ensure compatibility. Do some inner work... You stupid fukk.

I knew, from the beginning... the idea of 🗣🐢🎤 that this would need to be an episode. Regardless of my content, episodic schedule or duration. Because this is what it's about...

Immersion is one of those things that's kinda touchy. Because who governs the specific number of the amount that establishes identity? I mean, the Gatekeepers sure but we KNOW they're the toxic dickheads of the culture right?

Representation is important but I struggle with seeing how it ALWAYS has to be THE issue. More than concept, time period, geography AND accuracy.

You love what you love... This is Truth. Regardless of what you do, where you are and how you try to fight it. We NEED those that love this shit to keep moving it forward. Even if forward is but so far.

Hating what you don't like is intellectually irresponsible. Hate goes deep so if your dislike is only surface level, you have no business hating anything... Don't be a fuk'n bozo

We are critical of our own... That's Fine.. How about I join in?!
