And how do you know?

I feel like I didn't learn shit in high school. It was very America-centric. Han Dynasty? Caliphates? Ottoman Empire? I don't recall stuff like that even being mentioned. It was basically Greece and Rome, the Dark Ages, the Renaissance, European colonization (but nothing about stuff that mostly just...

I quit smoking and vaping, so any cannabis I consume is oral now, and I still consume a lot of it. I have my cbg/cbd tincture that I just make with diluted distillate and it's a lifesaver.

Of being in the middle of the ocean, no land in sight, on a sinking boat or a life raft maybe, with a beautiful sky and a grim but not especially violent sea. Death not imminent but plainly inevitable. Just an endless natural expanse with no apparent...

That definition of neurodivergent seems tautological. You have to have a definition of typical for atypical to have any meaning. Right? Which is why it’s so nonsensical that it carries a negative connotation. Well. The ways in which our brains work the same are the common ground that allow us to co...
