  • I often remind my significant other to participate in mindfulness exercises along side me to take a moment to look at “the bigger picture” what that is for her or for you is in my mind personal. For me I like to just observe everything in my environment, I try not to focus in on any particular feeling or sight or thought etc. One practice that has helped with this immensely has been Chinese Gong Fu Tea. Every weekend my partner and I take about 2 hours to sit and have tea and be observant of our lives and worlds in a way that doesn’t focus on any one particular thing. It’s almost like meditation, which is something Buddhist monks practice for decades and sometimes never achieve their enlightenment. For you your enlightenment might be achieving that defocused state and becoming more present with what’s around you.




  • The idea is that once it’s moved by customers to a different section, the store will treat the product as bad and toss it out. Yes you’re right more work for the minimum wage guy who has to throw it out now, but the idea is that enough loss on that specific product and the manager may stop ordering that/those brands all together. They might not realize the products are related to Israel, just that the other brands are still selling, so by happenstance, the Israeli dates look inferior due to perceived customer purchasing habits. Eventually they may not be ordered anymore and that affects the parent company in Israel.

    It’s a really long game, but that’s what I gather the goal of that specific protest would be.






  • I have R-CPD which is a condition that causes me to not be able to burp typically. I just got a treatment done to enable me to burp, Botox in the upper esophagus to weaken the dysfunctional muscle in there. This means it has been especially hard for me to swallow for the past few weeks while the Botox was at peak efficacy. Now with that said…

    The amount of times in the past few weeks I have choked like this is unreal, relatable as hell. Thanks for reading if you stuck around, I know it’s uninteresting
