Given the state of the world right now, this book is now on my watchlist for 2025.

I think this is a reference to a sensationalized US news story in 2020 where a US officer allegedly brushed off fentanyl powder on his shirt/uniform and reported accidental overdose by skin exposure.

I don’t see a slow drip of Christian right, just allowing themselves to be converted to this freewheeling mass known as the fediverse, one by one. They’d hop their own pirate barge on an instance, lobbing bible verses at us en masse.

I suspect we’re all looking forward to it too because it’s what the fediverse promised us. We get to be whatever we want to be, and god dammit we can float our own barges if we’re weird enough.

I’m suspicious. The Royal Family wouldn’t do something like this as a first choice so I think some evidence surfaced or something is on the way that prompted this as a response.

Can it be related to Epstein? I hope so. Trump needs to eat this crow.

I think it odd that Texas, a wealthy state, would attack the digital safety and privacy of its residents instead of addressing how power can cut out for days at a time or water boil advisories for its populations.

Anything but meeting the barest expectations of a “first” world country.

I don’t consider myself a defender of Owens, and I often see her name associated with conservative, right wing publications.

I have tried to watch her YouTube videos and from what I can make out, she comes to her own conclusions and simply is prepared to make arguments and defend her positions. I respect that even if I don’t necessarily agree with everything she says. She discusses current topics, and often walks audiences through her logic along the way.

Australia suggests to deny her entry for various reasons - including that she’s divisive. This is a bit of whataboutism, and I’ll point out Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA (and Turning Point Australia apparently) was ALSO intending to travel to Australia prior to his assassination.

I’m not fans of either, but I take note of the media focus, and lack of focus. I highlight that here for you too.

What my professor once told me before briefly, and his words come back to haunt me from time to time. Maybe they’ll help you.

Back to the basics. Sleep.

If you can’t get enough in one go, get your nap in.

Eat.

Prepare like you’re going on a long range road trip. Water, trend less meat and more veggies to avoid sugar ups and downs, and replace snacks with fruits (explore and go for like starfruit or dragonfruit or avocado - not just a pile of grapes).

If your lifestyle is contributing to a lot of needless stress, you need to cut that out before your brain can work right.

Cut the noise.

Avoid other people’s psyops - be it drugs, they sleep for an hour a day, someone starts their assignments the night before. One person’s bullshit is another person’s kryptonite. Just take care of your body and your mind. Your studies fall into place once you can get a routine.

PS

Do work out.

Prisoner 60s. Pushups, squats, pull ups. What’s the point of studying if you can’t even stand, sit, or squat right? These are free, do them throughout the day.
