This was very much me earlier. I am in fact literally back from getting what we call my 'sunlight tick'. Have I been outside today? Yes? That's a win.
Written down it looks stupid, right? It isn't. This time of year is rough for some folks at the best of times. This? Is categorically the fuck not the best of times. I often have to untie a knot of shitty body image lessons, professional frustration and straight up stress by...
stepping outside. Or playing a video game. Or baking something. Or lifting weights. If I wanted to I could seethe with frustration over the fact it feels, sometimes, like every healthy body image lesson and habit we built at the top of the year has been torpedoed.
But that's a spiral and once you get on one of those it is very hard to turn around. So, if you can, please, from me and for me, don't get on the spiral.
Drink some water. Eat something with protein in it. Play a video game, watch a movie. Do a thing which isn't you in your body, I promise it will help.
All of which is also a very roundabout way of saying everything @LegalValkyrie said is right, please be kind to yourselves and your partners and that this has been making me laugh for a week.

Now the sweary version; this piss eyed leaking sack of edge lord pseudo-incel weaponised sociopathy has done probably irreparable damage to this country's character, it's capacity for hope, it's long term economic future and it's short term mental and psychological health.
This right here? Is a piece of shit. A pompous, conceited fuckwad who because he knew a little more than everyone else became convinced he was better than everyone else and everyone else deserved neither praise nor patience nor him.
I got closer to this than I wanted in my teens. Seeing this as the end game? Makes me even happier about choices I made and Dom here clearly did not.

I mean the man’s litany of corruption, in every sense of the word, is as broad spectrum as his base is not but as God is my ducking witness if anyone uses the words ‘fake news’ after January 20th I want their fucking dicks to drop off.
I’ve watched friends and family deal with invertebrates in red baseball caps with single figure YouTube accounts claiming to be ‘the true press’ and every single fucking one of you who used that phrase helped make that seem okay.
It was never okay. It was never fucking close to okay. Mocking that journalist on the ‘16 campaign trail. ACTUAL NAZI PHRASES FOR LYING PRESS. ‘Fake news’. All of it is unfuckingforgivable and all of it stops right the fuck now.

Well I’ve just had a fantastic chat with some of the creative team behind @HearCircles and the chef soundtrack is playing so let’s make focaccia. Your intrepid hero, pure of heart and skew of glasses500g bread flour, two tablespoons olive oil, 14g yeast, a li
Add all these to a mixing bowl making sure that the yeast and sugar are as far apart as possible because if they got too close they’d discover the doomed romance between their children and wait that might actually be West Side Story. Flour in a bowl, yeast to one side, salt to the other
Add everything else. Every ingredient before its mixed, sitting in a bowl
