Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer
ive always like realistic characters. its what i struggle most with in modern tv. i like to see progress being made on a problem/relationship through real conversations and disagreements. i find a lot of kids shows charming for this when characters have to work to solve seemingly simple problems. i tend to get annoyed at shows that have problems caused by people doing the dumbest, pettiest things that no real person would ever actually do (in theory... some people amaze me). e.g. netflix shows that can run 4 seasons on someone having a psychotic revenge scene. like who does that??
most sandwich bread in the us is processed garbage. if you had homemade or another high quality bread then itd be different. i tried daves killer for awhile and even gave that up because it still tastes so sweet.
Our (my partner and i) lease is up in a month and we are planning on moving to a town 30 minutes north of us. we're in a small college town surrounded by cornfields currently, and would be moving to a more suburban area. my main reasons for moving are that I've been in this town for about 5 years and honestly its got some of the blandest selection of shops, restaurants, activities, etc. its not totally devoid of cool people and small businesses, but a majority of its commerce is through chains. in the new town, there would be local grocers to shop at, a wider variety of cultural foods, and more... extracurriculars (i like to take dance, art, etc. classes). however, the apartment we have a deposit down for is kinda shit. we cant really afford anything better at this size, though. we'll also lose out on being in a walkable area. also, my partner would have to commute to school ~3x a week for classes and i feel kinda bad abt dragging him away from being able to walk to campus, but something in me feels ready for a change. though as the title says, im facing indecision. thoughts?
great read, thank you :) glad to see more action in detroit
that must be heartbreaking for you, im so sorry. i hope you two are able to work it out.
im so done sharing roads and parking lots with these horrible vehicles. the modded pickup trucks are even worse and beyond embarassing.
love the added details!
i live in a small town thats got some of the most overpriced and disappointly small portions of chinese food. + in a small town it doesnt taste too good either :/ my friend and i will drive an hour once a month or so to get really good dim sum, ramen, korean... for cheaper
if i didnt have so many allergies id consider it :( maybe my bf would enjoy it he is not picky
I think hybrid work is only a small part of the issue. if it was even remotely affordable id just lunch delivery rather than busting my ass cooking in the middle of the day but then i end up spending $20 + tax + tips + fees just to eat some mid food when it just takes a bit of effort to get some amazing homecooked food for cheap. if people do return to the office id bet people would pack their lunch until prices go down.
just eating out in general. i cook at home as often as possible because restaurant prices are nutso. even chinese takeout that used to be cheap is like $15 before tip here
my body may beg me to stop at 2 but that doesnt mean i will
sure but a very small amount compared to what people eat. around 50% of american land is just used to grow crops for cattle. if we opted to reduce that, think of how much forest and natural land we could bring back.
we use some of the most fertile lands in the midwest that could be used to grow literally anything else to grow vast amounts of soy and corn for cows.
the beef industry wouldnt be razing down the amazon forest if no one was buying and eating it, would they?
honestly watching certain tv shows and movies idk how people relax in front of things like gore and heart wrenching tragedy.
I've been flossing usually twice a day, sometimes only once a day, pretty strictly for the past 2 weeks or so. mostly because my grandma bullied me lol. However it still hurts? when does it usually go away?
I'm looking for new ways to take advantage of all the local produce for the several months that we can grow our own up here.
