flamingswordHey, fellow classics majors! Silphium may not be extinct! Uh ... I need them to breed a cheap varietal, bc I want some.
Action crisis and cost–benefit thinking: A cognitive analysis of a goal-disengagement phase - I'm reading up on the steps your brain takes to stop reinforcing things.
If you have ever been to a Torchy's Tacos here's how to make their queso. And if you have never been, you're doubly welcome!
I love Brandi Carlile in the gayest way possible.
The Never-Not-Broken Goddess and learning to be our most amazing, most broken self. Yeah, I said what I said.
How To Ask Good Questions - "Polling my networks helped me realize how many assumptions I’d been making about the wider world without context, and how those assumptions sometimes calcified into bitterness." - excellently written article that I am having a think about.
In DUH news, everything the diet industry has said for the last 50 years has been wrong, AND THEY KNEW IT AT THE TIME. Fuckers. Trigger warning for dieting/diet culture & injustice perpetrated for profit.
I spent most of today napping, which was glorious. But now my body is doing the temperature fluctuation thing, and I have the sads.
The temps have been swinging 30 degrees some days, and the pressure keeps Doing That Thing, so it’s still a shitty time to be me. Friday I went to my primary care doc to get the specialist referrals for the year (because insurance is stupid) and asked to also be sent to a pain management specialist.
It’s time. I’m not sure what I’m going to do there, other than get a script for daily diclofenac, if I can, but … pain is now reaching the too-distracted-to-work levels for significant chunks of my days, it's taking me longer to do the simple-but-boring computer job bc pain makes me even easier to distract. If I ever need to go back to doing massage as my day job, I would be totally screwed. And I am Having Some Feelings about all of those things, and about how “other people need it more”, and the conflicting impulses of "I don't deserve this" vs "nobody deserves this" vs "why can't this happen to Ted Cruz" etc..
Brainweasels are exhausting. Ugh.
