Hey man, that meal is both vegan AND keto.

You have described it perfectly—and congratulations on finding something that works for you. That walk before you head home? It’s a heroic victory. Well done.

It does.  Anything over zero is a victory.

Thanks for this—I don’t have the time to try to hit 10K on most work days. I really think these notions that “if you aren’t moving at a certain level or in a certain way, it isn’t helpful” needs to be done away with. You can even see it with some of the comments here, that walking isn’t exercise, etc.

You’re allowed to have your opinion and be wrong. :) You can tell your opinion that I dropped from a size 26 to a size 20 with—you guessed it—walking fueling the change.

Definitely doesn’t make it too sweet.  It’s actually incredibly neutral, and perhaps augments onions more than anything.  

In the case of the traditional Inuit diet, organ meats and whale fat contain enough Vitamin C to stave off scurvy.

Golden beets are fantastic for homemade chicken broth!

I’m a single working mom, and for part of my initial IP madness, I was also in school finishing a degree—so basically working 2 full time jobs and parenting solo. I think I might be one of the fanatics (and therefore not sane), but that’s only because the IP has provided me with such time savings.

Back in the day when I rented a professional grade breast pump, my insurance company denied it outright.  Breast pumps qualify as what are called durable medical goods, and many insurance plans cover those.

Ashland brought their A game today.

In other news, both Portland and Eugene were surprised to be out woo-wooed by Ashland.

Huh. I don’t feel tired at all. I found introducing some daily exercise and cutting out sugar really helped.

Yeah sadly, because it’s “not woke enough” that turned out to be a no.  Pretty disappointed by that choice.

I think this is a very thoughtful guide.  We were pretty media cautious when Butter Jr. was little, and I would say that you have offered a very moderated set of reviews and age guidelines.  

Please remember, what your adult, academically minded self things is best for young kids, is not what you would have thought at 4.

This. Good christ it’s the perpetual, “Oh it’s improved but it’s nowhere near enough because...” JFC the pace of change in humans is glacially slow, and yes we have a long way to go, but providing books that present other options to girls is key. Providing youth of color with protagonists who look like them is key. We…

I don’t think the person who wrote that is suggesting being with anyone is better than being with no one. I think the suggestion is that perhaps the only noble struggles we might find in this life are the struggles to get along well with our tribe—whoever they may be.

Very interesting article, and timely. A good friend from work suddenly died on Sunday, and this feels much more alive to me than perhaps it would have several weeks ago.

So the doctor was only removed from shift, not fired? Ouch.
