Yes. I don't take all those supplements but I have performed most of the eating/sleeping/exercise rituals because it's normal to do that and not normal to not sleep 8 hours, overeat and not exercise. There are endless ne

I am studying in Russia and one of my teachers told me that it must be so that North Americans have some disease that has made them all so large. It was after I told him two of my neighbours had tummy tucks in the same month... he did not k

Having lived in the Netherlands (Eindhoven - not even Amsterdam) I can confirm that the English spoken there was superior to the English I was raised in in rural Ontario where my teachers said "warshing" instead of washing. The Du

I've lived 'off-grid' in Canada (Near Wilno Ontario and Near Nelson BC) and thankfully it never occurred to me that there may be laws about _that_.

I'm glad this is hitting the mainstream. I have asthma and when I get any flu it lasts and lasts in my lungs for ages. When I was younger and did nothing to avoid it I'd basically cough brutally all winter long. Due to the pandemi

There is, believe it or not, a dimension where a woman can be both strong and feminine. It's, at least, the lies I tell myself.

And I've done daily running 25 years, pilates 20 years, yoga 10 years and 5 years ago I started krav maga and it has changed my life. I think it is just a lifetime of it or something.

As a horror writer I cannot help but imagine moralizing scenarios where in the west, we vaccinate and lockdown and hoard vaccine and have immunity from vaccines, while in the Global South and places forced to reach herd immunity are realize

Yes. The problem is, the way ideology works today is not so simple. It is not that we need to realize we have ideology aka - 'we know not what we do but we keep doing it'. It is: We know fully well what we do is meaningless/o

Yes. Race/gender/sexuality are classes that are fighting to be respected and co-exist. This is an upper class dream. They need to be abolished. My graduate degree is in Equity Studies from the late 90s. I was trained to write what

The worst thing you can do is go to university - 'the only place you cannot study' (Moten/Harney The Undercommons). One must be prepared to confront one's own ideology and individuation which both run counter to the univ
