Mise en place. If you're not familiar, it's a practice in cooking to have everything you will need set up and ready before you begin. You can do it with other kinds of tasks, too. I find it way easier to prep for tasks than to just do them. And prepping makes it mentally easier to just transition into doing.

I was reading about Mel Gibson's anti-semitic rants, and his apology about being drunk* when I remembered this meme. I agree with the meme, that our brains tend to feed us what we've heard from our environment, but our conscious mind overrides that with our processed thoughts.

People use "he didn't mean it, he was drunk/high" as an excuse for racist/misogynist/whateverist comments. The response is typically "you don't become racist when drunk, you just drop your inhibitions and reveal who you are."

But if you agree with the First Thought meme, what if being impaired isn't revealing what you really think, but is preventing you from thinking at all, and just getting stuck on your conditioned response?

*Gibson is just an example. This post is not about litigating whether he personally is racist, but about this sort of behavior in general.

Visited a booth at my farmer's market where the mom working was wearing her baby in a sling on her back. This kid's neck was as far back as it could go. We mentioned it to the mom, and she just said "yeah, her head's been bobbing around all morning."

I don't know the baby's age. And I don't know much about babies. Based on the first time I saw her, she's at least seven months old. I know that newborns' necks need to be supported. And I know that having your neck in that position can cause a stroke in adults.

It made my mom so uncomfortable she had to walk away, but the people behind us talked to the woman and said nothing about it. Should this be reported to someone? Or is it totally normal and fine?

Appeal factors are the characteristics that engage the reader and include the book’s pacing, the level of character development, the types and complexity of language used, the mood of the story, and the book’s overall tone. 

I'm excited to try out some of the tools they link to. Right away I see so many new-to-me interesting titles on whichbook.

It eats them up that democrats are using "freedom" as their buzzword now.

I also liked (paraphrasing): "Can you think of any other candidates capable of beating trump?" Joe: "Yeah, at least 50 of them."

The problem is that people can map fictional resistance movements onto opposite real life parties. In my college poli Sci class, both I (a known lefty) and the most conservative guy in class excitedly supported the idea of showing V for Vendetta. I guarantee the January 6 guys thought they were in an underdog resistance movement.

Love this bit:

“The State of Florida has not justified this grave restraint, and so the United States Constitution does not tolerate it. Ours is a Union of individuals, celebrating ourselves and singing ourselves and being ourselves without apology.”

The real identity politics were the Conservatives we met along the way.

Honey fans eating literal bug vomit.

Mushroom fans eating literal reproductive organs.

Lots of things sound gross when you think about their origins. Just eat what you like.
