You can try a game of saying, βhey, what would be true if both my experience and this fact that feels opposite of my experience were true at the same timeβ. I think it is really useful. You donβt have live in that space but its okay to play in it.

There are experts who believe in BOTH modern vaccines and medicines AND traditional plant medicine/ natural remedies.

Anyone seen writing that thinks about fossil fuels as a kind of time travel?
Fictional or scholarly.
Yes? But I'm struggling to remember what. Maybe Penny Chisholm's Living (or Buried) Sunlight books?

I had an undergrad prof who always made comments like this.
Frustrated one day, I finally asked him who raised us [to be so displeasing].
I don't think he ever brought it up again.
Yes! The music is awesome!
And if you haven't already, consider watching Emilia Perez - it's apparently based on a modern opera & also has amazing music(al scenes)
We signed our lease today, which means I can tell you Good Girl Books will be located at 7685 W Northshore Drive between Richy Kreme donuts and Flourish flowers in Knoxville! We bought a can of pink paint today! ITβS HAPPENING! (Also donuts, flowers, and romance novels is a helluva day!)

Me too! My little will eat nearly any fruit or vegetable & is in the habit of trying at least 1 bite of anything, but the list of reliable foods has become increasingly restricted over the last year - add to that diverging dietary needs for the grown ups & I'm running out of ideas π

Public Radio affiliates are often the only thing on the dial in the rural U.S. that isnβt right-wing talk radio or Christian proselytizing (is there a difference these days ha hah ugh) and they do so much good, necessary reporting, even if they donβt get everything right

06.05.2025 15:43 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Agree! One of the first things that got through was showing my MiL the proposed Medicaid cuts. As a scientist, I'm very fact heavy, but there's data that presenting opposing facts only solidifies the existing position - so then I get overwhelmed & don't know where to start lol
