Students have barricaded themselves inside the building, and their pickets outside. Cops withdrew last night but they could be back at any time. If anyone here is in Humboldt county it would be awesome if you could come through and take a shift on the line. There is food available

At last

I would have to go with turnips. Incredibly versatile and nutritious root, plus delicious greens to fry up

Apologies in advance for the rant, I just don't understand how my brain works and I need to get this off my chest a bit In the last couple of years, I have generally only gotten good sleep under two circumstances. When I am severely intoxicated or when I have done a genuinely massive amount of exertion such as a full day of hiking with pack or genuinely backbreaking manual labor.

The first I have cut back on significantly, because I an pretty sure getting blackout drunk that often is not healthy long term.

The second is somewhat more sustainable but not really- I work in a specialized field of construction rn, which requires some physical exertion, though not nearly as much as some of my previous less "skilled" work, which generally payed like shit. So i don't fully get my energy out the way I used to, especially when I'm spending a significant portion of my work day driving from place to place. That's not even getting into the time I have off (my schedule often involves many short and intensive jobs which may involve being away from home, followed by significant periods at home not working).

It feels like it drives a wedge between me and my friends and sweethearts when I am still bouncing off the walls when they are all exhausted, when I have difficulty sitting still while watching a movie because my whole body feels like it's twitching, and when I to get out of bed and run in the middle of the night to help me get to sleep.

It was one thing in my twenties when I was energetic like this, I figured I should just enjoy it while I was young. Now I'm 36 and have a daughter. I feel like I'm crazy.

Again, sorry for the rant, I just needed to get this off my chest a little

It's a terrible attempt at sushi bc I made it while already fairly plastered, but it consists of rice, pickled onions, radishes and canned tuna. I accidentally poured soy sauce in my wine glass. My dog is looking at me like I'm an utter lunatic. I am probably, I am probably going to bed soon. Just wanted to say that I despise the kinds of mother fuckers who pretend to be woke, wrt colonialism but purely advocate symbolic or minor changes, never looking at the material changes. No amount of nomenclature changes will stop deeply rooted economic subjugation. Liberalism is a hell of a drug. Death to America.

The tuna is my first non vegan meal in about 2 weeks. I am not there yet, but I am happy to be making progress

Conversation went somewhat as follows Me: I hate pretty much all the current pickup trucks bc they are excessively large, too high and thus dangerous to pedestrians, and sacrifice too much bed space. I'll keep using my '89 Nissan with an odometer that stopped working, a rusting bed and mismatched doors as my utility/work vehicle until hell freezes over.

Bossman: so if you got a brand new ram 2500 for free you wouldn't drive that instead of your old brokeboy-mobile?

Me: imo they are over priced as shit, and a depreciating asset, so I'd just sell it immediately. That's what, 60k?

Another coworker: he's right. 25k for power tools, car parts and firearms, 15k for whiskey, hookers and LSD, donate the rest to Indian maoist guerillas

Me, unable to hold in laughter: shut the fuckk up man (thinking, why the hell would you say that in front of the boss man, but except for the buying sex (being a John seems kinda messed up) that is basically what I would want to spend it on lol)

Just reposting this excellent point from lemmygrad
