Citations Needed podcast had an episode about the link between the colonial settler myth and eating meat (episode 139) which was really good. (Summarising very badly) Eating meat became proof of the settler dominion over the land, animals and peoples (Native Americans) of the West and was pushed to maintain the narrative.

Edit: I also recommend a recent episode of Maintenance Phase where they debunk the paleo diet and have past episodes on Peterson.

Shrinking might be a good positive depiction of positive masculinity (I don't think it is, he's a toxic asshole who puts his stuff on everyone else) but I couldn't get over the fact that he's supposed to be a therapist. I'm a psychotherapist and Segal's wildly unethical behaviour, never mind the unethical behaviour of his workmates (who should have reported him) made me really dislike this show. I loved Ted Lasso and Shrinking is not on the same level.

That's tough then, maybe a stuffed animal as others have suggested, or something with sentimental value, like a metaphorical hug?

I have a favorite hoodie that does it for me. It was my wife's first gift to me so there's sentimental value and it's really comfortable because it's so old. Buy a size larger than you normally get to avoid tightness and buy something a little more expensive for the quality (so it lasts longer) and softness (I'm assuming you don't like rough clothes).

Only flowering plants are pollinated by bees and even then not all of them. Ferns evolved before flowers existed so of course they need a different way to breed.

If you mean Australia, I just checked shipping with reMarkable and it's free.

If I had the choice I would have gotten a Supernote A5X because they are a more ethical company, conscious of sustainability (their pen nib does not need replacing) and they provide a road map for updates so you know what's coming. I'm not able to get one, however, because I live in the UK and shipping and taxes end up nearly doubling the cost.

That said, from what I read, the best writing experience is with the reMarkable, though as others have said, the subscription service is a frustrating addition. They give you a year free when you buy new. This was my best option and I'll be getting one soon.

I also looked at Boox which has color options and a back light but the writing experience isn't as good because there is a gap in the screen where the back light is meaning its more like writing on a white board than paper.

That's like a different, more gross kind of ADHD tax.

Wasn't it Sony wanting a reset in case no agreement was reached with Disney so they had free reign to take the story wherever that wanted?

I just checked the activity on the post and can't see any down votes. This channel is really great, this video especially.

All of her videos are really good but this one is great. It's a really helpful way to think about our struggles with motivation and has helped me remember to put things in place.
