Wanting and even advocating are not demanding. But I can't speak for the conditions in the UK.
The socialists I know though are a lot more into electorial progressivism than global revolution.
the guys I met in intake
When I was in the intake prison I was around a lot of people going down for multiple decades. People who were going to max.
Ate lunch across from a guy who had murdered his gf while paranoid on meth. He burned their house down trying to cover up the crime.
One of my cellies was in for stealing atms and shooting at the cops during his arrest.
My other cellie for sex trafficking. Would pick women up at the bar and take them for a motorcycle ride. Then sell the women to a biker gang. He said he knew it was wrong and that he deserved the decades he had, but would do it all again.
There's really no best stories though. It was all pretty shitty and depressing.
Once I got to medium it was pretty smooth. Read a lot. Wrote a lot. Meditated a lot. Tried to avoid mindless self indulgence so I wouldn't be fucked when I got out.
And it was still very difficult to reinitgrate with all my family living out of state.
I like to boil them in hot water for ten minutes and then strain out the mushrooms.
Make tea or hot chocolate with the hot water and then lay on my floor for a few hours staring at the ceiling and talking to myself.
Outside of that, pan fried works well with most mushrooms and in most dishes. Just don't overcrowd the pan and learn to dry fry some species (lions mane for instance).
It's a bit complicated, but Lion's Mane po boys are yummy. Lion's Mane risotto is also excellent.
Most other mushrooms you can substitute for beef (shiitake and buttons) or chicken (chick of the woods).
They all are excellent with eggs too!
Chitin. Like bugs.
I was teasing that you might be a trans ally soon!
I'll do my best to not interfere comrade cis ally. But.. did you read the meme?
Are you close with your uncle? And how are you holding up? Both my grandmothers had dementia when they got older and it was difficult.
Brazilian laser sesh
Had a full Brazilian laser sesh done a week and a half ago. Plucking hairs down there is now a breeze.
If I can ever afford it, I think I'd like to laser everything once. Just so it's easier to epilate.
Practicing heat from fire mantra in my head since Friday. (And in my mouth muscles as I say it in my head or out loud).
Has helped a lot to change the peg on the boy internal voice.
Chronic pain here too. I often overdo it and end up triggered for days after. And struggle when many of the same feelings around it.
Hope you feel better soon.
