Glad your gato is doing well! Good luck on the job search!

Raw by Lindsay Lohan. I know it may seem like a joke, but I really like the tone of her voice, and that album has some catchy tunes on it.

Precisely this. Not to mention your premise about reproducing fails when placed in front of a large majority of the queer community. Childless gay man here, by choice. I am extremely pleased, some may even say fulfilled, with my choice to not reproduce.

I just. Like. How can you believe god exists when this is out there?

I liked the article a lot and it made many great points. Especially about school lunch and public transportation allowing for a more active, therefore healthy, society. However, when I visited I noticed vegetables are not incredibly common, and those you find are not diverse. Dishes are rice heavy, and the vegetables are mostly varieties of cucumbers and seaweed. A friend of mine, who lived in Tokyo for a few years, confirmed my observation and mentioned it’s thought to be a cause of persistent dental issues in Japan. Don’t have a source or anything for that, but thought it might be interesting to mention. I think it greatly depends on where you live. In California, I have access to a huge variety of vegetables and many farmer’s markets throughout the week I can attend. I imagine that i am an outlier though, and many areas have access to very few vegetable varieties. Food deserts are a very real thing and a very real problem. I’m mostly just musing, but I think I’m mentioning this because there is a trend in spaces like this to idolize Japan, and reality is much more nuanced than “Japan is perfect.”
