I wear combat boots made for first responders (Haix). They are about 3-4 times the cost of yours, but they are made in Europe. Anyway, I've had my oldest pair for over six years, and I put at least 10 miles on them on a day. The only upkeep they've needed so far is some conditioner. I have a ton of boots, but these are by far my favorites

I've worn them in the Arizona desert during summer, and in winter where I live (gets to -30F and colder)

Banh mi is so good. There was a little Vietnamese cafe nextdoor to a place I used to work, I went there every workday. I saved so much money after I moved to a different location xD

I honestly love the solitude that harsh winters bring. And all the heavy clothing I get to wear, the much longer nights, going through my stockpile of canned and preserved goods. There have been winters where I was snowed in for weeks, and they were glorious

It's true, the brain and body need extra care to prevent depression during winter, but I'm much more depressed during the long, blistering hot summer months

Facebook is damn near a necessity in the area I live because no one wants to host their own websites. I've still not given in to making an account, but I'm starting to feel the struggle of not being able to contact small businesses.

So, I can imagine some of those users are multiples of the same person if they also have an account for their business

Glyphosate too. Increasingly linked to Parkinsons, cancer, and endocrine disorders among other things.

I don't know if my brain is addled by the sheer amount of mudslinging he does, but I can't think of another politician that has publicly had issues with more than one or two people.

Obama, Hillary Clinton, Biden, various governors, AOC, Pelosi, various mayors. I actually can't even list all of the people Trump has had to "rescue America" from.

Well, his Wikipedia article is horrifying

He asserts that casual sex attracts subterranean spirits that make an impression on the inside of women's vaginas and offers exercises to "clean out" said vaginas; he writes that children get cancer because they want it;

I hope her first husband kept their daughters away from him

This is why I set the bottle in the bathroom sink after having this thought. Its hard to ignore something so out of place and in the way

When I was transitioning out of therapy, I used a peer support as a stepping stone to forging my own support network. The person who was assigned to me is studying to be a psychologist. He was well aware of my ADHD.

One day I was talking about how exhausting it can be to find a New Thing that becomes my existence until I squeeze out the dopamine I can get from it. This man goes "Wow, you really have an addictive personality."

If current psychology students aren't being taught how ADHD impacts the way people interact with the world, and they instead dismiss it as a personality trait with negative connotations, I don't have much hope that people will stop discriminating either.

The worst part is, it's widely known that the population he and I inhabit often develop addictions through self-medication or self-soothing. There's so much more to addiction than what many people assume it is
