I love her. And regret being hungover and mildly disheveled when I got the chance to meet her.

If I got a note from Yoko Ono tattooed on myself, it would be this one.

Yup. I rarely bring my veganism up, because I just don’t want to hear “I could never give up meat/milk/cheese” and “I love meat! Yum yum yum!” for the billionth time. It’s always someone else who brings it up for me.

Just be a meat eater without being a dick about it. Also not hard.

I don’t understand why everyone thinks vegan is so expensive. Yes, there are people who live in food deserts and other places where it is difficult to get fresh or cheap ingredients, but like, I had a delicious - vegan - rice and beans stew this week (the pot made enough to last a week) that cost a pittance to make…

There are a lot of people on this site who get out their daggers anytime anyone mentions animal rights/vegans/fur/etc, so I honestly think a lot of it has to do with that. I don’t care at all about Moby’s music but I do appreciate all that he does for animals.

Awesome, thanks, that’s what I was leaning towards, but great to confirm. So hard to tell from Instagram - people keep posting photos that were clearly taken months ago, pre- scaffolding. One annoying thing about going in late 2019 is that everyone is preparing for the olympics by shutting shit down and spiffing…

I love Hiroshima! Stop by the MOCA if you can - it’s wonderful, one of my fave art museums in japan. I’ll be back in Hiroshima next month and was considering Miyajima but the torii gate being under construction has me giving it second thoughts. Can you report back with how much scaffolding is currently on it? Have fun!

The flowers are super pretty, if nothing else. I like to crush up some leaves with lime and soda water.

I think my initial expectation was for inversion tables to be super expensive, or for cheaper ones to not work, so this is very good to hear. Glad to hear it is working for you - I will be doing more research into this option.

Thanks for the advice and sharing your experiences. My bro sees a PT for other types of back issues and it’s really helping. The only barrier for my friend is the cost, but I’m going to see what I can find in her area and go from there.

Thank you so much for your generous response. I am copying and pasting all of it and going to go through some options with her. I was debating whether or not to post this on SNS because I didn’t know if I would get any responses, especially useful ones, but I’m so glad I did. Thank you again - this really helps.

Thank you for this rec - I’ll look into it as I haven’t heard of it before. And also reassurance around an inversion table’s effectiveness. 

Wow, thank you so much for this recommendation and info! This sounds like it might be the ticket.

I’ll have to investigate those...and remind her to use her wheatbag as well! Thanks :)

What is it with that store...last time I was in a dollar tree, there was a child throwing an extreme tantrum which culminated in him screaming at his mother and HITTING her repeatedly because she wouldn’t buy him something he wanted. It was awful.

How do all these cats love tummy rubs so much‽? Can they come and give my furbaby a tummy rub appreciation lesson?

I can’t wait to follow Cindy’s weight loss transformation journey. What a sweetie.

Are you saying that all Slavic people look ugly and poor? Not sure what you’re getting at with this comment.

Yes, agree. And she doesn’t do the thing that some others on stage are doing where they are clearly holding on to sound bites and spit them out whenever they’re given the chance to speak, regardless of whether it answers the question or not. And she also is calm and will not be flustered or rattled. She is a very good…
