🐒🌶Lil photo dump of my rural life this week in tropical paradise🍄🕉🌴 with my doggie children and divine girlfriend @naturalialove🌹growing plants, learning, and building our home and retreat center together. We love you and appreciate the support🙏😘I hope the border opens in 2 weeks so my august retreat can happen. It’s already sold out…if you’re interested think about coming to my next retreat in december. I wonder what the world will be like by then. 🤪😻☯️

When a person with mental illness needs help in a dangerous situation to protect their life or others, do you think an armed policeman/military soldier or a mental health social worker is a best equipped to help? In the system we have now…cops go in not mental health workers

When time and time again police use unnecessary, sometimes lethal force on non-violent people especially people of color…

D E F U N D THE P O L I C E

When cops defend their coworkers who violently break the law and harm citizens like when cops pushed peaceful 75 year old progressive protester Martin Gugino in Buffalo a few days ago as his head hit the cement and started to bleed…

When cops buy a Burger King burger for white supremacist Dylan Roof hours after he shot up a Charleston church in 2015…
👎👎👎👎👎
D E F U N D THE P O L I C E

There are good cops out there, most of them, but the training and culture around police enforcement is so wrong we don’t need one more example.
I don’t think we should abolish the police. We should significantly reimagine, rewrite, and defund the current idea, role, and practices of American policing. They are too violent, too much power, and simply need a modern uplift to do their job better. They work for us.
It’s so clearly broken right now.

🙃what’s the point of posting anymore.
systems in our world are dramatically changing, some for better some worse.
talking about being healthy, sustainable, calm and grounded is still just as worthy and important to teach and inspire, maybe even more so in these times, but people are fighting for their lives, jobs, freedom and justice right now...who has the time or energy to get into fruit eating and yoga ya know?? haha

well I guess all I can do is keep shining, living my life on the land, and hope that my posts inspire you to come here to a future retreat in Costa Rica, experience what it’s like to leave the city systems and grow your own food in nature, and maybe it will change some lives for the better.
Keep fighting. Keep going. Pura vida.

😻a few messages from ya boy here even tho I’m a hyper privileged straight white man🤷‍♂️(gotta say it to keep myself in check and so you know that I KNOWWWW I came out of a golden vagina of privilege hahaha💎)
🏆
1) i clearly have the dopest elbow in the bizz
🤗
2) black lives matter 👊
3) tump is a racist. i’m not saying that ignorantly. based on his history of actions for decades, his words, tone, and policies, dude’s a racist meaning he looks after his kind…whites, more than he authentically cares about improving the lives of people of color. if you don’t see it, you’re not looking.
🙄
4) biden is an old school racist that probs doesn't think he’s racist but the things he says come out pretty racist…but trump knowwwss he’s racist so biden over trump but DAMN IT what a terrible choice we have. corruption sucks. bernie would have been our non racist man if the corruption wasn't so strong. 🥴🤮
5) cities are so dangerous and shitty these days. grow your own food if you want to have freedom in your life. just make it happen. 🐒🥭🍅
peace

🍉pretty watermelon🤪Remember when Bernie was in the race and I’d make political posts...sucks to feel defeated by the pathetic corrupt boring no change establishment democrats but I’ll make a lil one here for those who care about politics too. Trump is a sad idiotic racist rich dude who serves himself and rich friends rather than fighting for the average struggling American or the environment ...but hahaha FUK even though Trump is the corrupt swamp monster of all swamp monsters Biden is an old, out of touch, also clearly mildly racist bonehead who can barely talk and is going to get destroyed by Trump in the debates. 👏👏 way to go boomers for giving us another terrible dem choice of Biden just like Hilary so now Trump has a good chance of winner. Majority of voters under 30 voted Bernie...you old ass boomers got us in this mess again wtf. Errggg. The only thing that will give Biden a chance to get Trump out is if he chooses a progressive VP like Warren. Let’s hope so, but I have no faith that the establishment dems will do anything smart. They are so out of touch and don’t want change. #bernie #progressive #endcorruption #vegan #rawfood #sandia #costarica

😍🌱🦋Want to be happy almost all the time vs bummed out and bored most of your life.
Find a love and connection to the simpler things in life😁🐒🐛
I don’t need fancy parties, or to be around fancy people, or a million dollars in the bank, or a high end job description to feel worthy and excited.
🌻🕉🤪
My biggest joys in life are wildlife🦍🦅🐝, wild plants🌺, the ocean, my rescue pups, cuddling my girlfriend @naturalialove 🌞🌞🌞🍄🌷, and eating and growing the best local organic tropical fruit.
Thus, I’m absolutely killing it in life right now, and I spend my days making vids, gardening, and brewing kombucha with local ingredients to sell to my community and that pays for my food for the week and more.
Very blessed to be a yogi, and to be relatively woke even though I grew up in LA and most of friends think they are depressed and broke if they only make 30k a year🤣🙃
If only they knew how happy people were down here valuing nature, local food, and family.

😻Now that I live in the jungle, I see nature all around me as my professor and guru. I’m a devotee to Mother Earth 🌎 👩‍🏫 🌱
I came here from city life to work with mother earth harmoniously instead of aggressively. 🌎
In all aspects of nature flourishing around me there is beauty, wisdom, medicine, stories, poisons, and nutrition quietly growing.
🪐🍄🌸🌞
The plants know exactly what to do, and they are powerful.
🌻
I am here as a dumb human, with the task of observing, reading, and learning how to work with these wizards of nature. 🌵
Some plants produce seeds when they get old to regenerate.
🍓
Some create clones and pop more out of the earth all the time.
🍌🍇
Some break into pieces and each piece becomes a new life of its own.
🍅🥭🥥
Some grow from fungus and only last a few hours when the conditions are moist and right, and they are packed with trippy heart opening medicine you can’t believe until you experience it.
🐒🦋😍
Most eat from the sun, but some eat insects. 😜 🐛
I am so grateful that my passion is to understand nature more. It’s a great hobby and passion that provides me with so much meaning.
🥳🤩🤪🌿🌷

🦋If you’re ever struggling with feeling and being your best, I recommend setting a solid routine and schedule that you know will deliver positive results. It doesn’t need to be that complicated or challenging, hear me out. 🥭
Set rules and a routine around food, exercise, meditation, sleep, socializing, social media time, spiritual connection, study, substance use, and what ever else you need to do or not do to feel your best. Set rules on everything.
🐍
Then once you have your framework, share it with someone you trust, that’s an accountability partner💗🧿A friend, parent, sibling, grandparent. Ask if you can check in with them daily or weekly about how you have stayed on track with your goals and routine. We can’t always trust ourselves to do the right thing because life gets hard and complicated on your own.
😕
I’ll be your accountability partner and help you layout and design your best lifestyle plan and routine for weight loss, weight and muscle gain, endurance improvement, diet and nutrition transformation, fasting, whatever you need. Just DM me and we will work out it, see what I can do for ya.

My eating hierarchy for mother earth 🌎 based on

My eating hierarchy for mother earth 🌎 based on my years of research and experience with humans, food, and sustainability…
🥭
Growing your own fruits, roots and veggies organically is better than…🥑 eating only hunted wild meat and growing your own veggies which is better than…🦌 a vegan who shops for food mainly at their local far mar which is better than… 🥬
an omnivore who shops mainly at their local far mar cuz calories from plants are almost always more energy, land, and water effect than animal based cals which is better than… 🐣
a vegan who shops at the super market and buys packed and imported goods which is better than… 🥫🥪 an omnivore who shops at the supermarket🍔🌭🍰 To summarize… growing, hunting, and foraging your food will always be the best for the planet. The problem is if ALL meat eaters stopped buying meat at the store and only ate the animal products they hunted…we would run out of animals on the planet considering how many meat eaters there are! So if we shut down factory farms, we would have a few small meat farms selling crazy expensive meat to rich people, and some people would get hunting tags to hunt their food, and like 90% of current meat eaters would have to go vegan.
A sustainable world is a vegan or veganish world. If you don’t understand this post…do some more research and learning. And if you think you’ve done the research and I’m wrong, comment below and I’ll do my best to explain to you why I think you’re wrong. Or you will blow my mind with your science and I’ll surrender I was wrong. Go.

Been chasing THIS my whole life. 🥥🐒🌊 I was born in Beverly Hills, how crazy is that. 🙃💎👠 Now every morning I get naked on my land, with my furry daughter
🐕
and we play in our waterfall passing snakes, tucans, wild mushrooms, spiders, and fruit trees along the way.
🌅 🥭 🕷 🐍 🦅
When I was 7 my favorite after school snack was an acai smoothie at Rio Juice around the corner from our house. That was in 1999.
🦋😁
I turned my room into a reptile room, I asked my parents to increase the humidity so I could have my pets roam around with me.
🐍🐍🐍🦎 I’ve been manifesting this tropical, natural, animalistic life MY WHOLE LIFE.

Started in Bev Hillz, made it to CR!

Life’s going well. Very well. Very Grateful. A lot of hard work and obstacles building my dream here but it’s worth it so far.

😺How to approach finding your healthiest diet😻
🍑🧀🥒🍳🍒🦪🥥🥦🍣🍗
-1) First step, the experts👩‍🏫👨‍🎓Start with the American Heart Association website, Harvard School of Public Health, Cornell Nutrition Sciences, or buy a highly reviewed, up to date nutrition textbook. Let me save you some time cuz I’ve done this step…they advocated to eat a diverse amount of colorful plants, lower your meat eating, really reduce saturated fat, processed food like processed meats, sugar, white flower, and fried food. 🍟
-2) If that doesn't work for your body, start getting alternative. Read books on the raw vegan diet, paleo diet, starchivore diet, keto diet, blood type diet, atkins, go all out and you will realize what resonates with you and makes sense and what sounds like total bullshit. That will help guide you down a path for sure.
🍑
-3) If you are STILL unsure how to eat, go to you YouTube. This is the most dangerous step because anybody can post on YouTube with no credentials, but there are also a lot of smart out f the box health influencers on there and they might get back to you and help guide you. 🥥
I was vegetarian for 5 years, then when I was 19 I questioned why I was veg and started educating myself on other diets like paleo, locavore, vegan etc. I read books and tried out different diets, even with meat. After those few months the vegan diet is simply what resonated with me and seemed the most legit. I made that choice over 7 years ago and I’ve never looked back. Veganism and plant based diet is for me.
🍍🥑🐒🐷🐳🦧💗

🙃just deleted my onlyfans because life is not always about doing what YOU want…it’s also about making your loved ones comfortable.
🧐🧐🧐
Actually I take it back, life IS about only doing what you want…hehehe
😛😛😛
BUT always doing what you want and not thinking about your family will ultimately have consequences.
😒
I did what I wanted to do and what made me feel alive and comfortable on onlyfans, and then there were consequences which were how it made some people feel, and I didn’t like the feeling of those consequences. 😕
So I had a choice, be my unforgiving self at the pain of others I care about, or make them more comfortable and sacrifice a tiny bit of my freedom.
🤷‍♂️
Soo sorry if you were enjoying the content, but remember I post to YouTube almost every damn day and have over 1,000 vids sooooo support me by watching all those vid!
🙋‍♂️
Life is crazy! I’m a good person. I’m just trying to build the best independent life for myself and sometimes I don’t think enough about where I come from and how privileged I am.
😸
One day I’ll have my fruit trees, my fam, my house on the land, my ceramics studio, and I won’t have to resort to doing things that drive my family crazy to gain financial independence to live the life I want. I’m just an experimenter and an explorer and that’s ok🙏
Much love
😜🍆🔥🦚

Wish I could post it to YouTube for everyone, but they would take down this vid of me running around waterfalls by my land in the jungle naked like every other animal. They would put a strike on my channel👎
😕😜
So Onlyfans is my main page now posting dope as Jackson shit all dayyyy🔥🌟🦋😼! Vids and photos being posted all day everyday no joke. Thanks to those who have already subscribed it’s been fun talking with you all in the messages. Onlyfans.com/plantrioticx

Still tripping me out how taboo nakedness is. 🧐🙃
Every other animal besides the human is naked for their whole life with no shame or weirdness.
🤣🦦🐿🦥🐕🦚
We continue to have greater rates of mental health issues…while we wrap ourselves up at all times and are TOLD to be afraid and ashamed to be our natural, wild, naked, animal selves amongst each other in public and we eat packaged food and socially distance ahhhh we are fucked.
😫😤🤯
Can’t be good for your mind to think your naked self is not perfect and pure and normal. I’m very grateful for my comfortability with what my mama gave me, and if you’re not there yet that’s fine, we all have different comfort levels. Just grateful to be me. 🥳🤩😜😎
Wearing clothes is a trippy interesting human thing we are soooo dedicated to, nakedness is as normal as….water…or…rocks…or something
🏔
Uhhhh this felt great this morning. Can’t wait to do this with you guys here on my land in person! Come to a retreat!

😜😳😘🍆 People get more conservative and less wild as they get older.
🧐👎
Not meee.
😼
I’m the opposite.

I was born into fear with a lot of rules and expectations.
🤫
I don’t blame my parents entirely, they were trying to keep us safe.
😕
Our fear based culture is a product of generations becoming more materialistic and not living and feeling like wild animals in nature on this big planet in space.

EVERYTHING else in life besides connecting to our animalistic selves is a delusion in my opinion.

Your job, car, partner, education, political views, technology all are just distractions. I’m distracted by those things too don’t get me wrong, I don’t live a monastic life of mental purity, but I will never base my happiness or self worth on things outside myself.
I know I am a wild animal in nature and I owe nothing to anyone. My parents brought me into this world and I am so grateful for that. Simultaneously I am able to do absolutely what ever I want with my life, body, work, life philosophy, and do what brings me purpose.

No right answers. We are a tiny blip of an experiment in the soup of life that has existed on planet earth. We are just riding a wave of meaninglessness.

Meaninglessness is a beautiful thing to me because it means nothing ACTUALLY matters, there will be no day of reckoning like religious fanatics believe, so all there is to life is to find things that feel meaningful in the moment, enjoy the shit of them, then you die and it’s all good.
If seeing pics and vids of me playing around in the jungle picking fruits, swimming in waterfalls, opening coconuts, dancing in the rain, and doing yoga butt ass naked sounds fun to you, then it is, and you can go enjoy that because I aint afraid to provide you with that pleasure.
It’s meaningful for me to release any lingering childhood fear that my body is not to be seen by my fellow human friends. What kind of bullshit rule is that! The only thing that should determine how you present yourself to the world is your comfortability and your choice, not anyone else’s. onlyfans/com/plantrioticx

🌞🌻🌟so grateful i resonated with the vegan doctor propaganda and not the low carb or carnivore propaganda because it’s nice when your cutting board looks like a watercolor cartoon drawing of space vs... you know 🐖🔪😟I’ve killed a few animals myself, processed them into food, and eaten them before I went vegan over 7 years ago, it’s a very different feeling than mango, durian, jackfruit, cacao, mangosteen, rolinia, peanut butter fruit, macadamia nut farming I’m doing over here🦋🌎🙏🌟
we see color very well for a reason unlike almost all carnivorous species on our beautiful planet🦁🐊🐍they don’t see color because they don’t eat papayas and mangos and bright sweet stuff. Fruits are nature’s candy riigghht llooook, we find it sexy and delicious. 🐷🐶 🐒🙋‍♂️✌️🧘‍♂️ almost daily I remember and reflect on the fact that dogs have serious rights to their lives and safety in places like California while pigs, (same same as dogs amigos I’ve lived with pigs) are being killed, sold, and eaten. It’s just a fact that if you treat a dog like a pig on a meat ranch in California you’ll go to jail🤦‍♂️ooohhhhh that’s so crazy and unfair🤪🤯🤬. Pigs will have rights some day ya know, they have to, dogs got them recently in human history, chimps too are always getting more, so we just have to keep fighting and ride the wave of progression for the voiceless being fucked over right now👊✌️🙌 #keepgoing #fruit #vegan #rawfood #papaya #starfruit #costarica #plantbased #puravida #healthy #animalrights #adoptdontshop
