This is disheartening. Not surprising, but deeply shitty.

It’s subscription based, but Nebula is creator owned I believe. Sucks though that everything free gets acquired by some extractive company.

Green room is fantastic.

I find that slowing down and just meandering through the things I have to do more slowly and comfortably, actually helps when I feel burned out. Maybe with some music. Feelings of urgency/tension in my body actually sap my energy way too quickly, before I can even get started. So I focus on managing stress preemptively.

This is not applicable to everyone or every situation but it made a big difference for me.

I have memories of different therapy words that my divorced parent and others used to disparage their exes in the 1990s. It’s an awful circle. Nobody can just have normal conflict.

Thank you friend

Bad news, but also I am relieved to hear that Ricefail is an apparently common experience.

Yes! Switching around naturally when it feels right is the way. No more shame, just following the brain signals where they lead.

Every time I cook rice it comes out bad. Tips? I’d like to be able to make edible rice without purchasing an appliance. Movies and history tell me this is possible??

Exactly. The US government does not want to stop it.
