😎 Acting from the same rational principles in all situations.

Just completed my bio and added a profile pic. This instance is starting to feel like home

#Introduction

I’m John, posting from the bluebonnet hills of #Brenham, #Texas. 🤠

I’ve launched CoreSignal as a “hard reset” to my digital life—moving away from algorithmic noise toward intentional, human connection. My goal is “connectivity in pursuit of connection,” not replacing it.

What I’m practicing:

🏛️ #Stoicism: Currently working through the #Enchiridion. I’m focused on the “Dichotomy of Control” and learning to “grab the smooth handle” in life’s challenges.

🗂️ Digital Sovereignty: Enthusiast for #SelfHosting, #YunoHost, and the #JohnnyDecimal system (I keep my resources neatly tucked in the 300-399 range).

🌸 The Great Outdoors: Growing #wildflowers and practicing #outdoor #photography.

I value signal over noise and virtue over vanity. If any of this sounds good, let’s connect.

We're seeing a number of people rethinking the talk show format. I'm particularly here for chickenshopdate and @subwaytakes.

In August 1863, Frederick Douglass stopped recruiting Black soldiers. He forced the Union to confront its contradictions: unequal pay, denied rank…violence against Black troops. He walked into the WH, challenged Abraham Lincoln directly, and left unconvinced by policy but clear about power. He resumed speaking not because justice had been secured, but because pressure, not faith, is what moves a nation forward.
