7-8 hours pretty consistently unless I have back pain or something

I make sure I follow my routine, get to bed at the same time, and I naturally wake up before my alarm.

Whenever I see someone asking for book recommendations, I always seek out comments like yours or make one if I don’t find it.

His Dark Materials aka Northern Lights (Golden Compass in US) is a really good one. I was 12 when I read the first one. It’s such a good story and I remember anxiously waiting for the 2nd and 3rd books to be published. When my friends started reading HP #1, I was already 2 books deep into HDM and was fully engulfed in Lyra’s story. HDM is a superior series that I think all children should read.

I read it again as an adult and realized how much those books really shaped my world view. Philip Pullman is an amazing storyteller.

I’m going to second The Expanse. It’s a fantastic series and one of my favorites.

Yes! But usually only when I’m driving. It’s either NPR or a local alternative station out of TJ. The local station is one of the only places I have heard Social Distortion, MxPx, Green Day, and some new rock band. It’s pretty fucking great.

I have started carrying cds in my car again, too. I’ve found quite a few great albums for $1-3 at thrift stores (great for Blu-rays too) or ripping CDs I borrow from the library. I also have a small mp3 player loaded with a bunch of music I’ve ripped or downloaded.

And I have AppleMusic for anything else.

Hell yeah chinga la migra!

Chinga is my favorite because it’s so versatile

Which is crazy that women pay more for any haircut, long or short.

I don’t even go to locations that charge more for women anymore. I check pricing before I go anywhere.

I always tip well too. The gal who does my hair charges $40 and I usually tip that same amount. She also doesn’t not charge me extra for a cut just because I’m a woman, which is so extremely awesome.

It always pisses me off when stylists charge more for women’s cuts, even when we have short hair. So dumb.

Back pocket: phone and vape, sometimes wallet if I don’t need my purse

Front pocket: knife and lighter while praying that they don’t fall out because women’s pants pockets are stupid and shitty

Hell yeah! 💚

I love wandering aimlessly around town. So many cool places to see.

Sometimes I’ll play a mobile game called Orna while I walk. It helps me get further out as I chase down monsters and loot.

Go team stoned walkers!

Yep! It’s great and feels great. Go team stoned walkers!

I don’t drink much, just the occasional cocktail that I mix at home. I avoid most processed food, Blue Apron has significant helped with that and taught me how to cook healthier foods. It probably helps that I enjoy eating fresh veggies like bell peppers and tomatoes as a snack. I probably don’t exercise as much as I should, but I do go for walks or bike rides and in spring-fall, I spend more time outside in my little garden. Gotta get that Vitamin D!

My biggest vice is I’m a stoner. I smoke more than my doctor would prefer, but it makes me feel better and has vastly improved my mental health 🤷‍♀️

I use weed to cope with existential crisis and sociopolitically turmoil

Same dude. Same.

I also walk a lot as a form of exercise. I love eating an edible and then going to wander around. The edible hits mid walk and it’s awesome.

You’re very welcome! I’m not a big fan of blocking too much here unless someone is truly abhorrent. The tagging feature is a nice substitute.

It’s hard to see, but the dark haired child in the front right side looks like they have 5 fingers and a thumb.

Edit: looked closer and maybe not

I actually have been digging Lemmy a lot more than Reddit. I love that I can tag users to remember things about them. You have earned the tag “Dillhole who AIs artists names away”. Thank you for your service (not really, you’re a still a dillhole).

I changed all of my default search engines to https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ and internet searches have been much better

Audra

I first read that name in a book when I was a teen and I’ve loved it ever since. My Warcraft rogue Audacity was even partially named using it.

I haven’t watched that but I should. Sometimes those weird unique movies hit just right.
