My aunt died last week. I asked my uncle how he’s holding up. He said “honestly it’s mostly not grief. I do cry a bit here and there sure, but it’s…just all this insane amount of love, and the pain of not being able to put it where it wants to go anymore”
Isn’t it funny that canola oil was originally manufactured for engine lubricant for ships during war & was repurposed for human consumption when war ended so Canada (the Can in canola) quietly paid the US $50mil to approve it despite polyunsaturated lipids leading to inflammation
Hey remember when you kept hearing women saying their ovulation got fucked up after they received the treatment and both the media and your friends gaslighted them and told them they were crazy and now it’s not only openly acknowledged but supposedly it’s a good thing
In traditional Chinese medicine:
• too much (or unexpressed) anger disrupts your liver function
• living in fear/stress eats up your kidneys & life force
• obsessive thinking/worry stops you from digesting food properly
• grief you don’t dispel & express throws your lungs off
Remember when they asked the guy who wrote Black Mirror why he stopped writing episodes and he said he couldn’t live with the fact that instead of terrifying people of the looming dystopia he had somehow in fact helped to normalize it
Isn’t it hilarious how egg yolks are literally the most nutrient dense food known to man and the production of them doesn’t have to be even remotely harmful to both the environment or the chickens yet for some strange reason this never enters the sustainability discourse either
Polyamory/serial dating life is an outgrowth of consumerist culture in which your lovers are just as dispensable as the products you purchase with built in obsolescence to be replaced by the next shinier upgrade with new features to hit your frail ego & damaged dopamine receptors
@ramzpaul
I’m not as familiar with that particular island but I lived on Kaua’i for six months and did some hiking trails you could very easily get very, very lost on if you weren’t careful
If my son grows up and takes advice from manopshere accounts like rivilino or tellyoursonthis I will know that I failed as his dad. Protect your sons from shady toxic assholes who want to degrade women
Did you know you can be addicted to thought patterns & physioemotional states? That uncomfortable place you keep going back to again in your mind/body is an addiction. Extricate yourself from it as you would any other: find the wound, uncover the hidden payoff, forge new patterns
Most detailed image of a human cell to date, by way of radiography, nuclear magnetic resonance, and cryoelectron microscopy. The purple oval on the left is mitochondria
@thechosenberg
Men are supposed to be like this. For all of our ways we might be complex, we are also very simple. If we are not like this, something is very wrong
@guideforlovers
How do you just “find this out” after you’ve fallen in in love with each other
The issue isn’t even the kid, it’s that she hid the kid from you, are you kidding with this? This isn’t a dream woman, this is nightmare material
Remember when Bayer manufactured Zyklon B & neonicotinoids? Remember when Monsanto produced agent orange, aspartame & glyphosate, all carcinogenic & neurotoxic? Remember when they merged & both Obama & Biden put their lobbyists as head of the FDA & USDA? Haha wasn’t that so funny
People need to stop attributing bullshit ideology to mental illness. There are thousands if not millions who struggle with mental illness and know exactly what time it is politically
@SaraBollman
Up to a point you’re fine, if it’s just like baristas and people you’ll likely never see again go for it, if it’s someone you have repeated contact with and you can tell it’s mutual and you’re still doing it then no
@BenjaminNorton
Have you considered that maybe the left actually is a cult and Tucker isn’t actually a racist? Sounds like one of you both is doing okay and I’ll give you a hint, it isn’t you
@nolemonnomelon
Yes and no, I’ve been a bodyworker 21 years, knots aren’t real that’s a weird bullshit idea someone made up, but tension is real, muscular tension and fascia tension (they’re different) and bodywork can run the gamut from creating temporary comfort to changing posture & rehabbing
Ask your elder gay friends who lived through the AIDS crisis of the 80’s what they think about Dr. Fauci. Because they all remember him. They will not mince words. They know exactly what lies within that dude’s heart
The best take I ever heard on suicide: people contemplating it *do* need a death, they need something within themselves to die, some outmoded part, some inaccessible wound, some cycle from which they can’t extricate themselves, and they mistake the small death for the big one
This psychic shaman chick came over to my apartment earlier, lit a candle, told me to learn to trust in god/the universe more, successfully identified a fucked up childhood thing without my telling her, and left me with a giant mapacho cigar that I’m supposed to smoke tonight 😵💫
You know how tech products are manufactured with built in obsolescence in order to keep you returning and being a good little cog in the materialist capitalist consumerist commodity market? There couldn’t possibly be a similar correlate in the pharmaceutical industry could there
Isn’t it crazy that we all take for granted that the moon influences the tides & animal life & that women’s cycles sync up with lunar cycles when in environments free from artificial light, but the notion that the moon influences our emotions & feelings is still too woo to accept
@87lbofbees
The sign of a person worth dating and partnering up with: they hear “I just walked for six months” and their instinctual follow up sounds something like “wow what was that like I want to hear all about that experience”
Stop talking about unconditional love. All love requires healthy conditions to be expressed otherwise it’s a recipe for martyrdom. Even dogs stop loving you if you’re cruel enough
People ask “do you want to ___” as a way of telling the other what they want. Stop outsourcing your desires. Try “I want to ___ with you, how does that sound” instead
Wouldn’t it be pretty wild if there had been something that happened last year that we could easily pinpoint, some strange occurrence that led to this happening
Never force the shoulders back for posture. Instead, lift up and out with your sternum, and watch how your shoulders naturally fall back to where they belong. Leading with your heart isn’t just a conversational stance and emotional axiom
@powerbottomdad1
I once had a car break in when I lived in the Excelsior neighborhood in SF, there were fingerprints all over, I drove it to the police department and was like “hey man there’s evidence all over here”, the cop rolled his eyes at me and said “what do you think this is kid, CSI?”
@snarkytwinkie
My kiddo slept a full 24 hours once when he was little. Their brains are working extra hard to develop and their bodies are more in sync with their needs
I just saw someone’s tinder bio said “Do not introduce me to a vibe you cannot maintain” and honestly I kind of want to say that to everyone in every context imaginable
Thinking about the qi gong teacher I practiced with in my early twenties who knew nothing about me but was immediately able to correctly assess my fucked up childhood relationship with my mom based on the structure of my feet and ankles
Florian Dagoury, the world’s top static free diver, famous for holding his breath underwater for 10.5 minutes, was just diagnosed with myocarditis and pericarditis. Do you, dear reader, have any idea what strange thing might have happened to have ended this poor fellow’s career
Kinda wild how skin cancer and melanoma rates skyrocketed in the second half of the 20th century yet people have been exposed to the sun for thousands of years and somehow we’re supposed to believe the sun is responsible
Thinking about my cousin, a PhD in biochemistry and pioneer in the Leukemia field who got fired from two different high end research positions because her data didn’t corroborate the sponsor’s desired outcome, but yes absolutely “believe science”
@LandsharkRides
My cousin played in a jazz band recently with a hundred year old dude recently and he asked him the secret to his longevity and the guy was like “I make sure to come everyday”
Sometimes, when I feel down, I ask myself what is the tiniest, most doable practical thing I can do for myself in this moment. Then I do another and before I know it I’ve accomplished a fair amount and lifted my spirits/changed my state
@audios82
Oh dude. It’s actual literal low dose poison. Avoid any seed or “vegetable oils” at all costs. Cook with olive oil, coconut oil, butter/ghee and all the saturated animal fats (tallow lard chicken fat duck fat etc)
Thinking about Kintsugi, the ancient Japanese art of mending broken ceramics by filling the cracks with gold. The fissures forever remain part of its form, but become rendered beautiful in the repair and part of what integrates the whole again. Does this remind you of anything
@DelusionPosting
Oregon actually is one of the most wildly divided states, the cities are crazy liberal, like caricatures almost, while everything else is very Deep South, both in terms of values and also even the accents
People aren’t ready to hear that immunity comes from sun/vit D; sufficient deep sleep; regulate blood sugar levels; become parasympathetically dominant in your autonomics; right blend of gut bacteria; patency in your excretory organs; reduce inflammation; stop washing your hands
@the_wilderless
There are many who have selective empathy for those they care for and cruelty towards others
Still more are those who lack the capacity for empathy but function and fly under the radar because they don’t cause enough damage to go noticed, just a string of bizarre relationships
