This might sound like a hot take but friends: Read books as a hobby this year. It is one of the best things you can do for your brain to grow your thinking and perspectives.
If you want to be anti-consumption get a library card.

It’s not just that unemployment is up 28% since the govt took office it’s that they engineered it! If you have the faintest clue about how the economy works you know that cutting public spending impacts the private sector immediately. The govt is the private sector’s BIGGEST customer.

All sorts of nut butters work well in this format. Even the nut free 'sun butters' do if you are navigating allergies.

Just a reminder that the Gov't can MAKE MONEY APPEAR to pay for things that matter to them. They made money for landlords and space but not for education, science, housing, or homelessness...... people tell you what matters with their actions.

Fresh end up having a really intense flavour almost like candy. Kiwi fruit are best from fresh too, but I might try the full size canned pineapple rings to see if they are more intense

& while many might say fast fashion doesn't matter b/c it doesn't stick around they would be wrong. That $8 shirt won't last but the eating disorder to look good in it will. The slave labour jeans won't make it to Christmas, but the fat shaming and internal harm hearing it will last for decades

The place I am seeing thin is in: ness is on visual social media and celebrity gossip places (online magazines etc.) but the thing that is creeping up is the youth focussed clothing brands doing it with 2000's designs returning. There is no room for extra weight in ultra low rise clothing

If you’ve noticed/remarked on a perceived resurgence of “thin is in,” where specifically are you seeing that resurgence?
Is it in person? On particular social media platforms? Somewhere else? Get as concrete & specific as you can!
(Answers like “it’s everywhere” with no examples are not helpful.)

NCEA is older than smart phones. Windows XP was released the October before NCEA began its phase-in. I have grown from a 15 year old to a 38 year old since NCEA began.

I just want to say that I resent pomodoro's for working and equally, I love them.
If you are like me a stack might work better for you. I do a pyramid with a tiered segment of 10/15/20/25/30/25/20/15/10 all broken by 5 minute rests
They help me so much

Libraries (and librarians) are the very best thing
You can go to your closest library to find safe space to write. You can write in a $3 notebook with a pen. You can bring a laptop and plug in. Libraries are quiet with niches where you won't be disturbed. You will also feel the support of all the novels around you.
