Hoping the chorus of people who split English muffins with their hands…

It really feels like a lot of people heard "we live in a society" and wondered "but what if we didn't?"

We are living in one of the few times in human history where you can buy a loaf of bread and if it says it’s made with wheat flour and salt and yeast and water and nothing else, it’s probably made from just those ingredients, and some people want to END this.

i am tired of being told i must coddle these people. no! they are willfully ignorant! and their standard bearer, RFK, is a monstrous narcissist who is indifferent to death and suffering.

There are definitely areas for improvement with the United States system for allowable food additives, and the best way to fix it would be to strengthen the FDA by increasing scientific funding & regulatory authority, not by gutting everything including basic guardrails like meat and milk inspection

My sister’s dog has had epilepsy for many years (since pre-2020). We had to do a couple med trials but it is very well controlled (side bonus: the meds made him nicer, he was not a cuddly dog before)

Oh this explains a lot of confusion that I have had recently.

Our program is always operating on a shoestring budget, so we don’t really have funding for advertising. Word of mouth has worked for us very well thanks to people like you spreading the word!
Here’s another helpful pic to describe how to use our program. Feel free to share it however you’d like!

I've been talking a lot lately about following a potluck model for resistance. For a potluck meal, the goal is to gather food for people to eat. If everybody brings 3-bean salad, that's not a successful meal.
BUT if a couple people bring entrees, a few other people bring veggies....

I think personality dependent (especially if you care about them not going on when you are gone). I think it’s easier to teach them they can only go on a specific blanket on the couch than free range.

The cables are easier than the scrambling part on the subdome! They just look scary.

I did wish I had hiking poles for the way down, my (young) knees were pretty sore, but I’m guessing if you are backpacking you will be doing it in multiple days? Or have poles with you.

I did it as a day hike which was a long day but pretty doable (and I had done no prep other than living in a flat city with a bike commute, but I have lots of hiking experience, and also was 25). It’s pretty cool, the cables are very do-able.

Yes! Half Dome once and Yosemite countless times. It’s the summer of my childhood (but I have been multiple times as an adult too, although not post-Covid).

I suppose that is actually a text…

A bias is not a conflict of interest! In fact, and I hate to rip this off, bias is inescapable in sentient beings.
We all have them. we can't turn them off.
The BEST case is indifference. And, I'm sorry to report, indifference is, by its very nature, unable to survive contact with the facts.

Yes, this is also why I do photo cards. I don’t put my children on social media so if they want to see their cute faces they gotta get a paper version (or like.. text me), and I’m too tired to do this more than once a year
