Right like if there really is some secret rigging going on, like Bernie fans suspected in 2016, Kennedy would be the much more believable “spoiler” for Trump than Jill Stein.

Right and that’s because most of it has been cultivated for high-THC! My husband gets wildly paranoid on high-thc cannabis but he is super relaxed on high-CBD hemp products. He is also more “autistic/rigid” than I am.

2024-08-26 16:55:30

And just by the way, autism is a condition characterized by dysregulation (usually over-activity) in the ACC - anterior cingulate cortex. This is the area of the brain that changes sensory information into emotional information (thus the sensory meltdown exists). It also is used in error detection and rule-setting. To support this part of the brain we need to be getting methylated B vitamins, vitamin C and dietary copper. This study shows that THC lowers methylation, which increases available L-dopa (antsy-ness) but stops it from being converted into dopamine (motivation) or broken down into norepinephrine (chill), while CBD increases methylation and therefore assists with the neurological balance. Freaking fascinating!!

2024-08-26 16:45:45

GM 🌞 did you know there is new research coming out that might explain why certain people experience “reefer madness” while other people do not? Could be based on how autistic they are!
The most interesting thing about this study is that they’ve shown there’s a THC:CBD ratio threshold that can prevent cannabis-related psychosis, with high-CBD cultivars even acting as an anti-psychotic!
These findings are so important to help health professionals understand and guide medicinal and recreational consumers and not just label all cannabis as mental-health-antagonizing. 👏

I’m going to try a small(ish) purchase first: an infrared sauna. I expect it’ll show up flat packed and I’ll have to assemble it, which is fine. I’ve already placed an inquiry and they are designing a quote, but my questions are: Does the client usually arrange the port-to-home part of the shipment or does the seller handle that? (The seller does say on their FAQ that they ship to port or to front-door.) And has it been your experience that assembly instructions are friendly? 😅

GM 🌞 Sunday synchronicity story time: I have a friend in town who is a widow in her 70s named Flossie. About once a month I go help her in her garden. Two weeks ago when I was there, she gave me a birds nest and said: “I saved this for you. You never know when you might need a birds nest.” And I thanked her and brought it home and put it on my shelf of curiosities.
Didn’t think another thing about it until today when my husband yelled out in despair because he accidentally destroyed a hidden birds nest in one of our patio tables with the leaf blower - and terrified the poor baby bird inside.
I was like: wait, I have just the thing. Went inside and grabbed that birds nest and got the little dude back in his table. The parent birds cussed us out I think, but they are flying in and out of there now like they’re cool. 🤣 anyway, what are the odds? #synchronicity

If the point of that piece was to anger or disgust me, then the good people at the New Yorker really don’t understand what I’ve seen in the past 300 days that ACTUALLY angers and disgusts me.

GM 😎 if you don’t know me IRL then you might not know I have been a floral designer and photographer for many years, but this is the first year I’m striking out into actual flower farming and farm tourism aka inviting local photographers to host photoshoots in my gardens.
Today I saw the most amazing idea for how to conceptualize your photography projects! Go to Pinterest and start a new board, then search for your main project idea (for me it was “flower farm photography”) and scroll through and save 100 pins that really catch your attention aesthetically - almost as fast as you can, like don’t overthink it - and once you’re done, go back and analyze those pins for common themes like color, background, lighting, styling, etc.
GENIUS. I am so inspired now 😆 if you see me looking for an antique row boat for my pond, mind ya business! 😎🤙

GM 🌞 just found out part of the Paris opening ceremony for the Olympics featured a bisexual throuple, and I just know my ancestral cousin Philip (I) the Fair is up in Versailles-in-the-sky sobbing.
France has historically been more polyamorous than most places in Europe - but the Roman Catholic Church really leveraged blackmail and government power to keep them under a chokehold-for-Christ. Even as recently as this year, there have been bad actors on the political right in France physically attacking non-heteronormative individuals.
To embrace bisexuality and polyamory as part of France’s cultural story in front of the world is monumental and long overdue. It sends a clear message that people should be allowed to engage in any consensual adult relationships without fear. Bravo frères et sœurs!

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but loathing someone you’ve never met in real life and only know via media is also a parasocial relationship.
I really do think this negative-parasocial relationship was normalized by reality TV where people were “voted off the island” who were unpopular - so it became very common to openly judge and critically comment on these people that we have never met. When you stop to think about it, it’s kinda weird. Lol.
Anyway, the moral of the story is: don’t let someone you’ve never met IRL live rent free in your head. 🤙

Him: I don’t love him, but I like him. I think he and Bill Clinton were the best two presidents in my lifetime.
Me: I wasn’t expecting you to say Clinton…
Him: Yeah he got caught doing bad stuff, but Trump did bad stuff too. We all do bad stuff I guess. But the economy was good under Clinton and under Trump and gas prices were low so that’s all I know.

GM 🍎 Crazy food history story of the week: Johnny Appleseed - John Chapman was in actuality a businessman who moved with the frontier and planted apple trees for homesteaders who were required by law to plant fruit trees.
But since he was a very religious and legalistic man, he refused to graft trees and would only grow them from seed - as god intended, which produced nearly inedible apple fruits across the entire US because apples mutate every generation as a defense mechanism.
Within 30 years, all of John Chapman’s apple orchards were converted to cider breweries and the US had one of the largest cider industries in the world until the 1870s when WOMEN organized to burn down almost all the cider orchards. Then we imported beer from Germany and that is how America became a beer drinking country.

I thought the one with RFK was interesting. John Stossel moderated, and they had a live studio audience. They played Biden and Trump’s answers and then they paused and gave Kennedy 2 min to respond. He had the best answer of the 3 on Israel/Palestine - which was lead with compassion and diplomacy and broker a ceasefire. He brought up becoming world leaders in bitcoin, blockchain and AI tech while formulating smart regulations around tech ethics. It was definitely better than just watching the CNN version of the duopoly. 😅
