i don’t talk about my post six concussion symptoms often anymore, but i so deeply wish there was more to be done for long term brain injuries, it can be so debilitating and infuriating some days

i find it hilarious that we’re now here in wellness culture, where poop is used as undeniable metric of health. as someone who got weird looks when i did podcast interviews on farting and digestion 6 years ago

funny how it’s exclusively white peoole doing the devils advocate whataboutisms around charlie kirk. really telling on yourself, he profited off of his racism and sexism and anti-trans agendas.

Interesting, as always, read by @anthrodish.bsky.social on masculinity in so-called “ancestral eating” practices. I feel like trophy hunting culture taps into this dynamic, as well.

back to the newsletter after watching the liver king’s untold special on netflix, and exploring what it means to pursue “ancestral eating” practices in relation to 21st century masculinity extremes and performances. #foodwriting #ancestraldiet

oh thank you, Trina! that’s such a great point about trophy hunting culture as part of it too, and one i hadn’t considered!

when it comes to media making up excuses about housing affordability, little treat is to gen z as avocado toast is to millennials #avocadotoast #littletreat

i am only just feeling like i have a good foundation for strength training one year postpartum, this baby really did a number on me. but the messaging about bouncing back quicker feels so out of control, it’s been a minefield trying to navigate it and not let my thoughts go bad #postpartum

realizing today i work in two wildly different spaces: the academic one where AI is critically discussed with warnings about its impact to the planet, and the corporate one where we’re getting an AI named brant or something to be our concierge without blinking an eye. the whiplash is real
