Honor Raconteur sells her books on her website, I believe. https://www.raconteurhouse.com/

I believe that all things happen in love and in war, usually because of rotten bastards who exploit human vulnerability as a sport.

Go to bed early so you can get a good night's sleep. I have heard this so many times, and I'm convinced it was the cause of many sleepless nights. It's probably great advice for people with a normal circadian rhythm, but it's useless for those with a non-standard chronotype. That shit is baked into your DNA, and medicine currently has no idea how to change it. Especially since it's so much easier just to blame the night owl.

My old partner and I used to travel to rural areas in our rv, to work on low income ppl's houses, as part of a different government program, and our clients often gave us some of their commodities. That cheese made some mighty good tacos. I used to make them directly on the propane flame to melt the cheese and toast the tortilla. We'd stuff them with avocado and alfalfa sprouts because we were hippy weirdos. The honey was great, too.

When certain people have the freedom to hurt others, no one is safe.

My favorite part of this is "Real people are suffering..." Oh no! Real people, you say? I better take that seriously, unlike all those fake people whose suffering is both imaginary, and completely justified. Who the hell cares about any of them?

No other drugs, just my bare, natural brain.

Whippets. I had this awful sensation of being frozen in a horrible moment of eternity while my friends looked on in amusement, not realizing I was experiencing timeless hell.

.25. If I already hate the show or the characters in the first 15 minutes, it's not worth wasting any more time on it. I used to try to push through, but the effort has never really paid off. I have no regrets about Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, or Bojack Horseman. There are lots of great shows out there.

There was a bomber in Texas who murdered several strangers with package bombs left on their doorsteps. He blew himself up just before he was captured. I don't think we ever got an explanation of his motivation. It's really rare, but it does happen.

The fact is that most of us are alive simply because no one has decided to kill us yet. There is no complete safety in this life, so you may as well take reasonable precautions and chill. Enjoy your life.

It's possible that you have what is called delayed phase sleep disorder, although I'm not sure it really is a disorder except socially. Some people are just genetically wired to be night owls, and there really isn't any way to change it. It's not a character defect, or insomnia. I've struggled with this my whole life. People don't understand, and they keep suggesting the same old things that I already know don't work.

It's hard to fit into the world with this kind of difference, but if you can rework your schedule, you will probably feel better. My sympathies, I know firsthand what it's like.

 

For an illness that affects so many people, doctors are horribly ill-informed and unprepared. Since me/cfs is often a result of a viral infection, the pandemic has only made it worse. You probably know at least one person who has it, and you can get it yourself any time, no matter how healthy you are now.

I like to refer to using the bidet as cleaning my undercarriage.

 

Such a fascinating project this guy is doing. He's making the most unusual breed study I've ever heard of, making ice cream from the trees of every US state. Plus woodworking.
