And All Things Growing

blanc could decide that jud isn't innocent after all. blanc knows that he won't because he knows jud is innocent, but jud doesn't have any real reason to believe blanc will stay this determined to prove his innocence. he could simply give up, tell geraldine that jud did it, and nobody would question it. however, jud "former street kid/murderer/addict/possibly sex worker" duplenticy is probably used to being viewed as A Bad Kid and blanc is so thoroughly sure that jud is not A Bad Kid that jud can't help but trust him and put his faith in him.

meanwhile, jud knocks blanc so off-kilter with his disarming personality and his painful earnestness that blanc can't keep him at arm's length. blanc cares about jud, and if jud turns out to be hostile to blanc's queerness or his godlessness or what have you it would be genuinely painful for blanc no matter how much he wants to pretend it wouldn't be. because at this point in his life he's probably managed to extricate himself from everybody who would take issue with his identity, but now he's fallen in with someone who works for Taking Issue With His Identity Central. and yet, jud never seems to be anything but kind and welcoming, and blanc eventually relaxes into that. jud never ends up rejecting blanc for anything about him.

The nonprofit’s set to receive a donation of 21 tons of tubers this weekend from suppliers in the Midwest. Hoping to get the starchy vegetables to people in need, the nonprofit will host a “Potato Palooza” event on Monday in Park Hill. “Anyone is welcome to come. They can bring tote bags, wagons, you could back up your pickup truck if you wanted to,” Hissong said. The event is 9 a.m. to noon at the Park Hill Food Recovery Hub, 6090 East 39th Avenue, on July 27.

the problem is stratt knows grace's presence will become largely superfluous the moment blackpanels come into the picture. which is wayyy before grace personally meets reddell, since she implies it all the way back during their meeting with lokken. grace makes his own temporary system with the ship's nuclear reactor and what little astrophage they make IS useful to test Dimitri's spin drives, but once reddell sets up the farm in the Sahara desert grace has virtually no reason to stay on the ship. like his job is done. he's the leading expert in the field, sure, but so are hundreds of biologists working around the world from the comfort of their home labs, he could very well just go back to the US by that point... or that would be the case if stratt didn't keep shoving unrelated work into his hands and dragging him to europe and australia and making the other science department heads run their ideas by him first. she doesn't even have the coma gene excuse!!! dr lamai and the blood test only happen after they nuke Antarctica. from that point on she definitely ramps it up, what with having him straight up test future lab equipment for the hail mary, but i feel like she would've tasked him with teaching dubois and shapiro even if he hadn't been coma resistant.

As if Joanne couldn't get any shittier, she misgendered and insulted a woman who called for support, all because the woman had PCOS/PMOS and "didn't sound feminine enough."

Fuck her.

Trevor Noah has a great tip, that when he craves ice cream at night he breaks it down into parts: I want something cold, I want something sweet. He drinks a glass of cold water then waits to see if he still has the ice cream craving. Usually he doesn’t.

So listening to your body isn’t “follow every urge” but “decompose the urge to discover the underlying need.”

If you always feel like getting cozy in bed you may be: cold, dehydrated, and/or malnourished (maybe a need for high calories that are bioaccessible…not processed).

If you do not feel tired at bedtime you may: need to eat dinner earlier because your body is still digesting, need to exercise or go outside more during the day, get the fuck off your screen for an hour so your brain can enter sleep mode.

Hope this helps someone.
