I believe that if you eat meat, it’s important to participate in the process.
Picking up packaged meat at the grocery store doesn’t unearth the same feelings that killing and butchering an animal does. It bypasses the sensitivity, the emotions, and the shock that you would feel during animal processing.
Even though I work for ranchers and am a big advocate for eating high quality pasture raised meat for human health, I still struggle with it sometimes. I love animals and feel connected to them.
You’re ingesting another life. You’re using its flesh to give you energy. Animals and humans may have different designs of consciousness, but we both have breath, life, unique frequencies, and energy. Both deserve honor and respect.
Instead of running from the difficult feelings and ignoring the killing and butchering process to keep myself comfortable, I participate. When I’m helping process animals, I think about my ancestors who did this for thousands of years before me. I express gratitude for the animal’s nourishment. I honor its body by using the energy and nutrients it gives me to positively contribute to the earth and humanity.
Not everyone needs to be a hunter, butcher, or rancher. I’m certainly not a professional and don’t want to do that full time. But I join the process when I can so I can pay my respects towards the animal. So I can have more gratitude for the ranchers who take on the burden of dealing with death every day so their communities can be nourished.
If you’re not quite ready to kill or handle a dead animal, simply praying for your meat and giving thanks for the animal before eating it is a great way to be more involved in the process. 🙏

This is the flicker you’re working with in a hospital. The place where mainstream orthodoxy says you’re supposed to “heal.” Atrocious reductionist garbage
Even the slow motion audio sounds reptilian and demonic 😂

If your shadow is longer than you are tall, you can't make much Vitamin D.

Light affects insulin sensitivity in several ways.
The use of SAD blue light, the type usually used for winter depression, causes insulin resistance, mostly by increasing insulin, rather than glucose.
“...both the morning and evening blue-enriched light exposure resulted in higher insulin resistance relative to dim light.”
However, red light helps to lower blood glucose, and near-infrared is associated with reductions in HOMA-IR (insulin resistance).
"A 15 min exposure to 670 nm light reduced the degree of blood glucose elevation following glucose intake by 27.7%, integrated over 2 h after the glucose challenge."
Sunlight contains lots of blue and red and is associated with better insulin sensitivity. Incandescent lighting is a much better option for metabolic health because it has more of the beneficial red and near-infrared light than LEDs.
“Increased bright sunlight exposure was associated with lower fasting insulin, lower homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance, lower homeostatic model assessment for β-cell function, and lower triglyceride levels.”

Most people don't know this but Airplane Mode on @apple devices DOES NOT necessarily turn off WiFi and Bluetooth
What's even more interesting is that switching them off through Control Center doesn't fully disable the radios either
It just disconnects them temporarily.
And for some reason Apple decided those disconnections should expire at 5 AM .. weird!
So your iPhone could reconnect to WiFi in the middle of your sleep without you doing anything
I wonder how many people actually know this
Sometimes I get tired of living in Austin. And then sometimes I drive 7 minutes to get Michelin star bbq sourced from local farms.
Temp drops from 105 to 83 and here I am. Back to frothing corn and soy free eggs into my latte

My tried and true method for no burn tanning without sunscreen:
Expose as much skin as possible mid-morning at UVA rise. At least 20 minutes. This preps your skin by initiating melanin production, allowing you to better and more safely absorb UVB later in the day.
Staying inside all morning, going outside at noon, and then complaining that you are someone “who just burns easily” is a signaling and preparation issue, not a “you” issue.

Sometimes this crunchy hippie girl has to to swap the flowy pants and bare feet for real clothes and real shoes. But we always go wide toe box.

Never understood the hate around small talk. Talking to my 70 yr old neighbor about the weather, how terrible the tomato plants are doing, or how long her grass is getting always feels so grounding & human. Really takes me out of my schizoness and draws me back into this reality
