One day my friend came in to visit me when I was working back in the juice station at a raw food restaurant in the nice part of town. There was a wheatgrass juicer, a giant centrifuge juicer, and two vitamix blenders and fruit and veggies everywhere.
“I need your help” She sat.
“Want a juice?” I smiled.
“Yea, I need you to make me a parsley juice.”
“A shot?” I asked.
“No, a TALL glass. To the TOP.”
I raised my eyebrows, and headed to the walk-in fridge.
Grabbed like 10 bunches of parsley and fed them into the mastication juicer
til I filled the cup.
We made a My Little Pony Escape From Catrina joke
& had a toast. She chugged half the glass. “I need to induce menstruation” bottoms up.
“I hear you need to put a fresh sprig up there every few hours too” I told her. We weren’t afraid of death, but we were afraid of pregnancy.
She didn’t like the relationship she was in. She didn’t want to be stuck with him for the rest of her life. She certainly didn’t want to gestate his genetics. She didn’t like him like that. So she was very lucky it worked. We high-fived about it weeks later over a beer.

Goodness was in the world long before any middle eastern men wrote the bible. Some #mythos worship knowledge instead of demonizing it.
@SeanathanCory@walden4pa53@HoLichette@backtothewind0@BernieSanders One red flag for me as a little girl growing up w bible study was the way they dealt with questions. Why did they assume a deity crushed up a gold statue to poison water that made the whole town sick for revenge. Doesn’t a pathogen
make more sense?
They didn’t understand germs🤷🏻♀️
The brain can be convinced that voices are happening when they’re not, amputated limbs are present, physical impossibilities are real, and its all because of two trainable parts of our wiring: The subconscious and the logical processing center. 🧵 #Painless
@albertaparent@PipSyyyv@Kaelwritesblog@mollyfleck@clhubes There ARE things we can do to prepare for the physical, mental, and environmental challenges that will be unexpected, change very quickly, and involve a complete loss of control which you just kinda have to TRUST won’t kill you. Birth is like falling asleep w trust you won’t die.
The pencil sharpener,
the favorite pen, the brush!
Plus a pencil! I just found #ALLTHETHINGS
behind my desk! #CleaningParty
Waiting for primed canvas to dry,
printing up references,
fighting the urge to make this #painting#portrait
FUCKING RIDICULOUS!
Currently procrastinating by sharpening
ALL THE PENCILS
in the house😂
Its a holiday gift of the
grandkids for grandma.
I already mentally
shot down these ideas
Flexing w MASSIVE muscles, like @Schwarzenegger cerca 1985.
Smoking a bong on a couch together like teenagers.
Riding a wolf into a bloody battle.
Centaurs.
I was trying to be serious.
Natural (unmedicated) #birth
feels like weighted squats
at the gym for 12 hours. #PainlessBirth
Its exhausting and drones on and its uncomfortable, and you’re hungry and thirsty. Its a marathon. But u don’t feel pain until the next day. #neuroscience ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
I was able to achieve this maybe for a couple reasons:
Before #pregnancy I was fit AF.
Exercise was not painful.
At all.
Exercise changes pain reception.
Athletes feel LESS PAIN.
And the uterus is
just a GIANT muscle
which needs extra oxygen. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30379385/
IF YOU FAIL TO BREATHE
while exercising,
YOUR MUSCLES HURT.
This isn’t bc exercise hurts.
Its bc lactic acid builds up around your tissues and without excreting muscle cell wastes,
the body feels pain.
I think its time to talk about #ReligiousFreedom and exactly where one person’s #freedom starts, and another’s ends. And no I’m not talking about a woman’s body dividing cells, I’m talking about breathing adults who #vote
#ReligiousFreedom is SO important to everybody. And I agree that I ALSO want my own #FreedomOfReligion. But other people DON’T get to define that.
I am in charge of my own #belief systems. You could even say I’m RESPONSIBLE for them🤔 #AmericanTaliban
No matter how wacky they got, the point in time where I am no longer allowed to practice my #Religion, would start IF it harmed another breathing adult, and that word #harm is pretty loaded too, isn’t it?
How do we define #Freedom?
How do we define #Life? #Happiness?? #Americans
Wow the #BacktoSchool2021
gossip is REAL THICK.
So Brayden’s mask kept slipping down, and my kid kept telling them to get a school paper mask and they said ‘You don’t talk to me’ because Ari kept calling them by the wrong pronouns cause their hair is long.
And Devi got a red card for not listening. And Nancy was sitting by herself and Mrs. Victoria asked them how they were doing, and they said they didn’t feel good. But she wasn’t coughing and didn’t have a runny nose.
So my kid got to take
everybody’s temp
IN THE WHOLE CLASS…
AND THEY SENT SOMEONE HOME SICK ON THE 2nd day of school and now every family has to fill out this #covid questionnaire! Would a family send their kid to school w symptoms? Definitely.
This class is 100% oldest children. These #parents are TIRED. #REALNESS
Half have babies too.
