A couple of weeks ago I set out to redefine the dynamics of our household cooking routine. I created a chart on our whiteboard and explained to everyone that they would need to claim one or two days to cook. The results so far are mixed.

Magnesium Supplements
To take or not to take
This conversation began with my sister-in-law, and little did she know it would send me down a rabbit hole. I’ve since had several more discussions on the topic of whether or not a supplement is required and, if so, which one?

In an effort to overcome my current and continuous struggles of ennui with my life and writing, edging towards apathy and hopelessness, I’ve decided to revisit something that once left me excited to write, even if a bit frustrated at the end where one tends to drift into that typical grad-student “over-it-ness” and you can’t look at your writing even one more time: my dissertation on nutrition and ADHD.

Imagine being so bad at your job that your legacy is marred by a “shit storm” – a nation plagued with diarrhea.
Amazing.

A couple of weekends ago my friend hosted a power point party. In case you’ve not heard of this, this is where everyone puts together a power point on any topic they wish to discuss and presents it at the party. It sounds like work, and it sort of is, but it is also a lot of fun. I won’t detail all of the power points that were presented that day, but there was everything from how beavers are little ecosystem engineers, saving wetlands and forests to musing over what makes something a door or a window to using one’s own acid-fueled dreams to demonstrate the energy and water cost of AI by depicting said dreams as simple AI comics. That last one was both a comedy of comical comics as well as a sad realization to what we are doing to the environment for a few lolz.

There are times when I have found myself in a conversation with someone and I begin to feel like the proverbial lunatic. The person so detached from a reality in which everyone else has agreed to participate. At some point, I took the red pill. Or maybe I took the blue one. Who knows. In these conversations, the bottom line for the other person (or people) is always about humanity.

Did anyone else read the hilarious statement put out by our Health and Human Services (HHS) and Department of State for why the U.S. has pulled out of the World Health Organisation?

This was the name of the summit I attended last week, hosted by Ecoversity. The focus: permaculture. It was three full days of information, so I won’t go into detail on what all was covered, but I was surprised to learn how adamant each of the speakers were about WHAT permaculture means.

Ok, I’ll be honest, I’m annoyed with this current administration. Annoyed is an understatement. Today I’m feeling petty. So I’ve decided to look at the nutritional guidelines put out by the folks at MAHA (Make America Healthy Again, for those of you who decided to go off grid after November 2024).
