The past year has seen me have a renaissance, in the truest sense… I won’t go into details now but will at some point before long. What has brought so much happiness to my life and those around me this past year has been my falling back in love with sport. Cycling has, and always will be, my number one. Yet I’d forgotten that I simply love sport, not for results but for the sheer joy of doing it, I’d completely forgotten that the health of my mind is intrinsically connected to the health of my body. I’ve rediscovered the love I had for sport that existed before the world of professional cycling took over in the way it did. I’ve been pushing myself and trying new things this past year, indifferent to the results, just out having fun and at times going deeper than I thought I was capable of anymore. Last week I got on a TT bike for the first time in a decade, Factor Bikes built me a bike, I’ve been looking at it for two years and decided it was time to get fitted, getting back on it felt like going home. Anyway, the long and the short of this is that it’s inspired me to create a club to inspire and be inspired. A community for us to share our love for getting out there and doing it, because I’ve realized that although I spend most of my sporting life on my own I derive the most pleasure when feeling part of something. It’s in its early days, I’ve called it Sporting Club CHPT3 aka SCC3, I’d love you to check it out and join. It’s still in its infancy, but I hope it’s going to grow into something that will inspire you as much as me.

Happy 58th Birthday to me, Reverend Jide Macaulay! 🎉🌈 Happy Holy Homosexual Today, as I reflect on the 58 years of my life's journey, I'm filled with gratitude to God, the almighty for the experiences, challenges, and triumphs that have shaped me into the person I am today. I am a black African priest, British Nigerian, openly homosexual, and living with HIV, and I wear these aspects of my identity as badges of honour. Throughout my life, I've been on a mission to fight for justice and equality, particularly for LGBTQ+ individuals and people living with HIV. I've faced countless hurdles and obstacles, but my commitment to this cause has only grown stronger. It's a path that isn't always easy, but it's one I walk with pride and determination. The House of Rainbow, which I founded, stands as a testament to my unwavering dedication to creating safe and welcoming spaces for those who have been persecuted and marginalised. It brings me immense joy to see how this space has become a symbol of love, acceptance, and support for so many. As I mark my 58th year, I understand that there is much work still to be done. But I also carry with me the knowledge that I have been able to make a difference, to touch lives, and to inspire change. I've witnessed the power of love, acceptance, and community, and it's a force that can transform the world. So, to all those who have shown compassion, who have stood by me during difficult situations, and who have cared for my wellness, please accept my sincerest thanks. Your contributions, both seen and unseen, have made an indelible mark on my life and on the lives of many others. Together, we can and will build a world that is more inclusive, more compassionate, and more accepting. Here’s to celebrating my 58th birthday with a heart full of hope and a spirit fortified by the mission to create a more inclusive and compassionate world. Thank you 🏳️‍🌈🙏🎂 #JideMacaulay58 #LoveIsMyReligion #LGBTQAdvocate #BirthdayCelebration #SpreadLove #ThankYouForSupport #AcceptanceIsKey

Today, I am 30 and saying goodbye to my twenties. As I celebrate this milestone, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey I've experienced during my twenties. The past decade was a period of profound growth, self-discovery, and transformative experiences that shaped me into who I am today. My twenties were filled with many highs and some lows, but through it all, I was resilient and persistent. I faced challenges head-on and learned important lessons along the way that shaped my perspective and enlightened my understanding of life. One of the most significant aspects of my twenties was the journey of taking back my own happiness and self-discovery. I uncovered my passions, strengths, and true purpose. This journey allowed me to embrace my authentic self and my dreams. I learned to respect myself, my time, and my energy more. I realized the importance of setting healthy boundaries, prioritizing self-care, and surrounding myself with positive individuals in my life. By honoring my needs and valuing my well-being, I have created a solid foundation for personal growth and fulfillment. Part of the process involved removing negative energy and people from my life. I recognized those who didn't genuinely want the best for me. Letting go of toxic relationships allowed me to create the space I wanted for positivity, growth, and healthier connections. Another pivotal moment during my twenties was a career change. Recognizing my desire for alignment between my passion and my profession, I bravely pursued a new path. It was not easy—that decision required courage, determination, and betting on myself. I started small before reaching greater heights, and I embraced that challenge. Eventually, it led me to a career that brings me immense fulfillment and joy. My willingness to embrace change and take calculated risks has set me on a path of not only continued success but also my own goals and personal satisfaction. Amidst all of the experiences, the most precious gifts of my twenties were the arrival of my two beautiful boys. Parenthood has brought immeasurable joy, love, and purpose into my life. Through the joys and challenges of raising children, I have grown in compassion, patience, and the ability to nurture and care for others. My boys are a constant reminder of the love and happiness that fill my world every day. As I celebrate my 30th birthday, I want to express gratitude to my wife, my two sons, the incredible family I have, and the friends who have been there for me throughout my journey. They have witnessed everything. Through it all, their love, support, and shared memories have brought immense richness and depth to my life, reminding me of the power of real connection and the importance of cherishing these relationships I hold so close to my heart. As the next decade begins for me, I will embrace the wisdom and experiences I gained during my twenties. I will trust in my abilities and continue to pursue my dreams with passion and resilience. My thirties hold the promise of further personal growth, new adventures, and the opportunity to create lasting memories with my loved ones. Thank you all for everything! With so much love and gratitude, Geomar Milian

🚨 JUST IN: Mitch McConnell’s office has released a statement and PHOTO of the Senator sitting in his hospital bed confirming he will NOT be on the Senate floor anytime soon Hey McConnell: you do not OWN that Senate seat. If you can’t do your job, RESIGN. Kentuckians deserve their representation. And you’re not representing them. I’m sorry you’re in bad shape, but Kentuckians should not be burdened by your inability to do the job you were elected to do. — FULL STATEMENT FROM McCONNELL’S OFFICE: “To my fellow Kentuckians – When you elected me to a seventh term and made me our Commonwealth’s longest serving Senator, you did so trusting that I’d keep showing up to fight for you every day. And over the past several weeks, Elaine and I have appreciated both your well wishes and your honest questions about what was keeping me away from the Senate. You all know how folks of my generation often hesitate to share the vulnerability that comes with growing older. Even in the public eye, I feel that same instinct – I can’t help it. But at the same time, I’ve had more than my share of experience with physical vulnerabilities. Surviving childhood polio meant spending my entire life with mobility challenges. They haven’t exactly gotten easier to manage with age. And last month, I took a fall which landed me in the hospital. My doctors have confirmed that I didn’t break any bones or suffer a concussion. I didn’t have a heart attack or a stroke. I don’t have any tumors or hemorrhages. But I was briefly unconscious and was taken to the hospital. While receiving excellent care over the past several weeks, I’ve also had to deal with a mild case of pneumonia. I can assure you that I’ve been a good patient. At my age, I tend to do what my doctors tell me to do. I’ve submitted to every test they can think of to help figure out what caused this incident. And I’m continuing to do everything they ask to speed my recovery. In fact, with signs of continued progress, I’ve been able to move from hospital care to a rehabilitation center where I’ll keep regaining my strength. As much as it frustrates me, this process takes time. And on the advice of my doctors, I won’t be able to return to the Senate floor to vote quite yet. But rest assured that, in the meantime, I’m not taking a break from the Senate business that matters to you. I’ve been working closely with my legislative staff on current issues, and with my Kentucky team who help me provide timely constituent services across our Commonwealth. I’ve also been keeping in touch with my Senate colleagues on the appropriations process, midterm politics, and everything in between. You’re right to expect your representatives to work hard for you. And part of my decision to retire at the end of my term this coming January was being honest about the demands of Senate work. But I still have unfinished business to complete on your behalf, and I have every intention of finishing the job you elected me to do. I’ll keep working hard to get back on the Senate floor as soon as possible. And I’ll keep you posted on the progress of my recovery. Until then, I’m so grateful for your prayers and well wishes.

I regret to inform my iRacing friends that I have been suspended from the iRacing service as well as the upcoming Coke Series race at Iowa for “intentionally causing a caution” during the eNASCAR race at Kansas. This is of course pending an ongoing appeal process that JRM and I are going through while this is still playing out. I’m simply stunned at this ruling and I want to be perfectly clear… I did not, nor would I ever, intentionally spin to bring out a caution. I have far too much respect for the folks I represent and the people I race with to do so. The attached replay clearly shows me trying to gain control of the car after receiving suspension damage from an impact with the wall, and unfortunately I failed to do so. A mistake on my part no doubt, but nothing close to substantiating the claim that I had intent to manipulate the race. My replay is up here and my twitch vod is available for anyone who wants to view it showing my perspective of the incident… I have absolutely nothing to hide. None of those things (my replay, telemetry, or stream view) were utilized by the decision makers before coming to their conclusion. It is my hope that with this information provided in the appeal process, that it will clear my name of any wrongdoing. Regardless of their eventual decision, my conscience is clear on the matter and I take solace in knowing that I did nothing in line with what they have accused me of. I’m grateful to JRM for their continued support and the work they’re doing in attempting to get this ruling overturned. I apologize to them that they had to waste time dealing with this nonsense. I hate that I may not be behind the wheel for them in the #8 at Iowa because it truly is an awesome privilege being in this series, but I look forward to racing whenever that return might be. I reckon I’ll be back on iRacing when my suspension is up or this appeal is rightfully reversed. Hopefully by then I’ll have learned my lesson and be better at saving wrecked cars with unrepairable suspension damage. Maybe with the new build it’ll be easier, who knows. I guess we’ll see! ✌️

Sometimes in life, you come to realise that you are part of something much bigger than yourself—a family bound not only by blood, but by genuine love, loyalty, and brotherhood. True brothers reveal themselves when times are difficult, when standing with you is not fashionable, and when the situation demands sacrifice rather than convenience. As I continue to recover well following a major and life-threatening surgical procedure, my heart is filled with gratitude. Fellow Zimbabweans, allow me to sincerely thank two remarkable brothers who made sure that I received the best possible medical attention and care when I needed it most: Dr. Kudakwashe Tagwirei and Hon. Kudakwashe Mnangagwa. Without hesitation, they stepped in and ensured that I had access to specialist healthcare and the support required for a successful procedure. Their concern for my wellbeing was genuine, and their actions reminded me that true brotherhood is demonstrated through deeds, not words. I would also like to express my deepest appreciation to the team of Zimbabwean specialist doctors and medical professionals who carried out such a complex procedure with exceptional skill and professionalism. By the grace of Almighty God and through their expertise, the operation was successful, and I am now on the road to recovery. Special recognition also goes to my brother and dear friend, Mhofu Padare Padare-Enkundleni, who has stood by me every step of the way. From driving me to specialist consultations, hospital visits, reviews, and follow-up treatments, he has been a pillar of strength and unwavering support. Such loyalty and selflessness can never be taken for granted. This experience has taught me that wealth is not measured by money alone, but by the people who stand beside you during your darkest moments. I have been truly blessed by God with brothers, friends, and medical professionals who refused to let me walk this journey alone. To everyone who prayed for me, sent messages of encouragement, checked on my wellbeing, and wished me a speedy recovery—thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your love, prayers, and support gave me strength when I needed it most. May the Almighty God richly bless Dr. Kudakwashe Tagwirei, Hon. Kudakwashe Mnangagwa, the medical team, Mhofu Padare, and every person who played a role in my recovery. Mwari ngavaropafadze zvikuru. I am forever grateful. Thank you Chitova!! Thank you Shumba!! Thank you Mhofu...!!

Been waiting a long time to say this. Over the last few years, a lot of energy has gone into something that weighed heavily on me both mentally and emotionally. Last year especially brought me to one of the lowest points of my life, and through that process I realized I needed to make a choice to let go, move forward, and choose forgiveness. Once I did, I immediately felt a sense of peace that I hadn’t felt in a long time. After meeting with my legal team and reviewing all of the relevant information, it became clear to me that I had been miscommunicated to by a former team member who no longer works for me. I learned that David’s company had in fact offered and provided insurance coverage for my initial medical bills totaling approximately $110,000, along with an additional $41,000 in medical expenses that David paid out of pocket without pushback. This information was not properly communicated to me before the lawsuit was filed. David helped cover my medical costs, and we now have clear communication moving forward regarding future coverage as well. I want to apologize for the confusion this situation created publicly. More than anything, I’m grateful to finally leave this chapter in the past. Some things take a lot out of you privately. I’m just happy to move forward now, focus on the future, and put my energy into the people and things I love. Thank you to everyone who supported me through some of the darkest moments of my life. Your support genuinely helped carry me through.

I graduated!!! I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a concentration in Psychology, summa cum laude! Five years ago, I started this journey with an eighth-grade education, and even that was from a Scientology school, where critical thinking was discouraged and the quality of instruction was subpar, to say the least. I did not get here alone. Thank you to NYU School of Professional Studies and Angie Kamath. Thank you to everyone who supported me, encouraged me, and believed in me, especially on the days I was not sure I could do this. And there were plenty of those days. To my therapist, who told me not to give up when I was told I likely would not be accepted into a prestigious program. To my tutor, without whom I likely would have given up at the harder points along the way. To all those here who have sent me loving messages on social media. And to everyone else who has cheered me on in person through the ups and the downs of it, it means more than I can put into words. It got me over this finish line of being a student again and graduating. That goal once seemed impossible. To those who have asked me, “Why this? Why now?” I pursued higher education to reclaim a piece of myself. When you come out of a high-control group like Scientology, or even a high-control family, there are parts of you that were never allowed to fully develop. Those parts include your curiosity and your ability and right to question. Education was discouraged because knowledge creates confidence in your ability to trust your own mind and navigate the world. That leads to true independence, and that would never be allowed. I wanted that back. But more than that, I needed to understand. I needed to understand how my mother could have us join Scientology when I was just eight years old, and how my family and I could be part of something like this and stay in it for so long. I needed to understand how these systems work, how they influence people, and how they take hold. Without education, access to real information, and support, people can fall into systems that work against their best interests. Some assume that because they are educated, even highly educated, they would never fall for something like this. But it turns out that is not necessarily true. What many of us are impacted by, but never quite understand, is how high-control groups operate. Many still do not understand how misinformation spreads, and how tribalism and radicalization shape what we think, what we believe, and who and what we trust. Without that awareness, none of us are immune. Today, we are seeing how these forces can influence good people and distort reality. History has shown us that this is not new; it just comes in a different form now. Social media connects us in ways we never imagined, but it also creates echo chambers that reinforce beliefs and justify behavior without question. Real critical thinking is hard when we are fed so much by algorithms designed to appeal to us. In learning and achieving this milestone in my own life, it has helped me take a good, hard look at my own beliefs and ideologies. This journey was about healing for me, but also about figuring out how to help others in whatever way I can in the future. So what is in my future? I am considering continuing my education and possibly pursuing a master’s degree, with the goal of contributing to advocacy and policies that protect people, not systems. For now, I am taking this moment in. I am proud of myself. And I am grateful. Thank you for being on this journey with me.

Today, I graduated from Stanford with my masters in law, with a focus in law, science, and technology. I expended considerable time exploring how to add value to emerging companies by advising them throughout their lifecycles, specifically on raising venture capital and licensing intellectual properties and technologies. I hope to spend the foreseeable future deepening my expertise in these areas. For the Stanford journey, I must start with gratitude. First, I am grateful for my parents, siblings and family who supported me through everything. I am grateful for my former employers who invested heavily in my growth, played a substantial part in Stanford happening, and in whom I found another family. I am especially grateful for my friends (including those I made at Stanford) who have overwhelmed me with love and support that I do not think I deserve. I am grateful for my colleagues, with whom I have shared this journey, and who have blessed me with their knowledge and experiences. I am grateful for all my mentors and professional connections whose benevolence towards me have never run dry. I am grateful for my professors and the Stanford academic faculty who have shared their knowledge with me and have challenged me intellectually, and finally, I am grateful to God, for the invisible hand in how my life has played out over the past year. At the ceremony, my friend Ana Julia – who spoke on behalf of the class – said we already made it before we arrived for this program. That is true, because the program is a gathering of highly exceptional people from different parts of the world, and with different experiences. Having been privileged to spend the last one year with these people, I will go on from here knowing that I mean something. I am something. And I will devote my time to leading with my humanity and advocating for positive change in the world. I charge you to do the same.
