Man that’s a weird photo. The lighting is strange, the shadows make the photo unnecessarily busy. Only one of the four has a natural smile. Melania is wearing a black leather dress for some reason? Why do most of them have weird hand positions? Also why are none of them touching their spouses?

I have a friend that jokes about stealing her dog’s kennel so her kids and pets don’t pile on her while she’s trying to study. That’s one way to enforce boundaries I guess lol

Wash the bands with warm soapy water, and you can try using alcohol to remove the oils on your legs to see if that helps. You can use thin plastic (I just save the bag I get them in) to keep the bands apart and free of lint while stored. I don’t shave, and haven’t had an issue with fine hairs reducing the staying power of the bands, but you may have more dense hair than I do

It could also be that they are simply too wide to stay on you, and this is what I’d bet is happening to you. They stretch a little while warm from body heat, and if it’s too wide there’s very little room to stretch before falling off. Generalized women’s sizes drive me nuts, a large in that brand would fit me at 5’3 and I highly doubt you and I share a thigh size. So my recommendation is that you try a brand for tall women, or at least find one that advertises a thigh measurement.

There’s actually a ton of conflict regarding livestock grazing on public lands in Montana. I didn’t know the bison were considered livestock, but I have seen first hand the kind of damage cattle have been doing to local ecosystems especially because the herds always seem larger year by year.

Land snails are hermaphroditic

I can’t meditate in the way that everyone describes. I have a similar combination of brain traits, so I’ll share what helps me. One small caveat, I also have c-ptsd and my experience is that even my choice for meditation analog isn’t going to be helpful until you’re able to use therapeutic skills to protect yourself (like acknowledgment and redirection).

I have been told this counts as a “ritual” which might give you a keyword to find something for yourself that you’d prefer. But what I do is I make tea or coffee in a methodical and intentional way. Everything from choosing my beans, tea or herbal ingredients to the method of brewing gives me a chance to center myself and work out things that may be troubling me. I use a hand grinder and gooseneck kettle to make pour-over coffee. I harvest my own herbs or put together my own blend for tea and use a blooming pot. It’s very sense-driven but routine, which is important for my ADHD and autism to sit happily together for a few minutes.

Some people go for a run and find that meditative, I can see it because I feel similarly when I go for a hike to collect plant specimens. Really, with ADHD you may find that getting your body senses involved (yes even with primary inattentive) helps your brain loosen up and hit that meditative point. I don’t think I’ve ever had a silent brain, and I think that’s a sticking point for a lot of people when it comes to meditation. You can still have the benefits with a loud brain :)

I take issue with using a phylogeny as evidence, because a phylogeny is a hypothesis. Or maybe I’m an idiot and don’t know what I’m talking about lol

My grandmother fully believed in sasquatch as a species, with subspecies in various environments. The ones where she grew up in the northeast were apparently larger, less hairy and more fat than the ones in the swamps where I grew up. To this day I still think she had just seen hunters, but she knew what she saw lol

If my name had a pronoun in it, bet I’d be putting them under my name on everything. Because that’s super funny to me

I totally did. In my defense they are similar in appearance and notable conservative family members. And Megan endorsed Harris during her first presidential campaign (which was also brief)

This dumbfuck is who DNC toured with during the brief Harris Presidential campaign last year. Yeah, the party that pretends to be accepting and kind to all people like Fred Rogers was, paraded someone that thinks being accepting and nice is entertaining around like we’d all be good friends

c/superbowl deserves to see this lol

I’ve disconnected the doorbell at every place I’ve lived in the last 10 years. If I’m expecting you I’ll be waiting and opening the door for you, everyone else can leave a message or find a different way to contact me

I had a professor who never moved on from his hipster phase. Every once in a while he’d switch it up and wear tech bro sports jackets and graphic tees, like he was trying to branch out but he was more comfy with what he cultivated on his twenties and thirties lol

The crazy thing is he made them sit around his desk like they are his employees

Sandy clearly has the high ground

Found the cold-hearted Sandy downvoter!

I love that this article has already been updated to mention this cow’s tools!

That might be the one thing that forces congress to act on Trump tbh. They could weather tariffs because it barely affected them. Dropping the bottom out of the dollar will affect them

This is my favorite part tbh. What a dweeb
