I long for the innocent days of the hurricane sharpie incident, being precovid and all.  

It’s really an excellent scapegoat.  I know that Mercury is not controlling my life but it’s some relief to shake my fist at the heavens and blame Mercury retrograde when things suck.  

Do whatever avoids both exposing yourself and chafing to the best of your ability.

Alisha Grauso is both correct and awarded extra points for a The Ghost and the Darkness comparison.

I volunteer my obese ass as the mechanism.

Yes Insight Timer has a ton of Aussies. I can’t deal with Meg James at all.  IDK why it’s a thing but it is!

I actually find guided meditations with Australian accents really distracting, but I am going to have to try this.  

What a weird couple years between the stay home songs and now the get your ass vaccinated tracks. It’s great but I also look forward to no longer needing COVID anthems.

No mention of Martha Gets Down and Dirty?

Eh, this plays into a rather narrow definition of meditation.   A mindfulness meditation does not require you to clear your mind, only to focus on being present in your body.  It requires a certain base level ability to focus that might not be easy for everyone but is more active than you might imagine meditation to…

I am familiar with Portland and its foodie culture does not mean that food reality tv is not exploitative.

The Olympics have never, ever been democratic. The training and time that needs to be spent to achieve greatness (on top of natural ability) is not and has never been fairly distributed. It’s a poorly run, expensive showcase for the rich and the abusive so it’s not surprising that this is what follows.

Mostly I have not lived places where I had options to avoid a store, so I have adopted a habit of shopping at everything that is available, at least sometimes. I kinda hate Trader Joe’s because mine is almost all processed food, so I only go occasionally for certain things. The only place carrying my preferred oatmeal…

Safeway is pretty terrible so a good one to avoid.  Unfortunately there’s one only a mile from me so I go there often because it’s the closest.

from the outside

I don’t watch and from the outside it feels like they picked Portland just because Oregon had relatively low case rates (when compared to the rest of the US). Reality tv has always been pretty exploitive, nothing about food reality tv really makes it any different. Season 20 of Worst Cooks in America that’s not…

Probably one we should all be ignoring but I am seeing this a lot of places. Is it just because people want to clown on him for being ridiculous? Or is it getting amplified because others share this same bad opinion and they’re mad about the sexpot becoming a real character?

Weird how he chooses to say this now, when a long time female character gets a lead in her own picture. 

The Sex in the City movie ruined Vera Wang bridal for me tbh.  

Nah, they were both still married when they met. There were a lot of people invested in the fairy tale seeming nature of their previous marriages (Gwen and Gavin being a 90s power couple, Miranda crushed on Blake from afar.) Then they went on to be very public and extra about their relationship together.
