You’re killing the game, homie. I’m proud of you.
I’m proud of you ❤️
This is amazing and inspirational. You do great work. As someone who has been hospitalized for mental health issues more than once, I’ve witnessed first hand the incredible impact (positive and negative) people in your line of work directly have on the lives of others. Thank you for being a reason that others can go on to be an astronaut.
Me, too. I’m proud of you. You’ve come so far and you still have lots left.
If it helps, those cringe moment you have of something you did in the past? That means you’ve grown past it. You’re able to see that behavior in yourself and recognize it as a cringey moment because you’re a better person than you were then. Yeah, it sucks to have those, but take it as an indicator that you’re doing just fine.
This is hilarious.
It’s been on my calendar and I couldn’t remember why.
Adding it to my cal right now!! Also it happens to be the bday of a good friend who is also a dog trainer, so I’m adding Astronaut Leland Melvin Day to the Celebration!!
Happy Leland Melvin Day. May the dogs be with you.
Haha I remember this photo. Brings me a smile every time I see it so thanks for posting.
Happy Leland Melvin Day!
Oh Lynchburg, what a lovely name. Wonder why it’s named like that.
It’s named after the founder Lynch, Who was an abolitionist no less, not after lynching.
Very cool he’s from there
Upon reading his article he even freed a slave that he thought killed his son. Freeing them mid 1780s is super progressive for the time.
Reading further, his brother Charles Jr. Lynch might be where the term comes from. Upon reading more it seems the term comes his free use of imprisoning Loyalists during the Revolutionary war without support of the law. Then he was worried about getting in trouble for this so he asked the Continental Congress to pass Lynch’s law to forgive it.
Maybe the term later was construed to me taking the law into your own hands by killing enslaved or freed black people?
So if this is true, John Lynch, good Lynch, founded Lynchburg. Charles Lynch, bad lynch, termed extrajudicial killings, of mostly enslaved black people. Diverse family.Was making a joke, but kinda glad to be corrected.
Right? Even better.
Thanks for promoting it! I learned something
Came to post this too - was very glad to see it.
Thanks :)
I spent some time reading further into it and expanded since you commented.
Thanks for sharing I didn’t know he was from there!
Abolitionist John Lynch

Did not expect to see my hometown mentioned on the Internet randomly ever.
Unless they were mentioning Liberty University, where the evil Falwells still reign, may their entire family’s days be short. That place is always doing something.
