I've been meaning to read 'Educating to Govern' by Detroit Communist Grace Lee Boggs. Also 'Teaching in the Regio Emilia Way' is in the same vein of child-directed learning as Montessori and Waldorf without the eco-fascist associations. It was developed in the heartland of the Communist Party of Italy during their strongest period and was a real innovation in progressive, child-centered education.

Summerhill: a Radical Approach to Childrearing is a charming example of the last vestiges of pre-Marxist utopian socialism applied to the context of the British boarding school. Not too too much to be learned or applied for most urban contemporary teachers but it is a beautiful encapsulation of an experiment.

A lot of my favorites from when I was younger were very reactionary and misogynistic on second reading. Esp. Richard Powers (his book for mega-fans 'Galatea 2.0' is auto-fiction about stalking a grad student), the freak who wrote 'The Water Knife', and Neil Stephenson. Lots of very gross portrayals of women and gratuitous sexual violence.

See if it's any reconstructionist congregations in your area. They tend to be more non-to-anti-zionist and more mystical in a beautiful way. If it isn't any, Kol Tzedek in Philly and Tzedek in Chicago have a lot of virtual services.

I am in my femme bara era fr

Yeah lol. I'm still shrimpy but did 5 lbs more than I planned to on the bench press. Progression is easier since the dumbbells jumped 5 lb each which doesn't make a lot of sense.

i know the traditional ashkenazi pronunciation of hebrew definitely didnt win out in israel.

More than that! Ashkenazic Hebrew was deliberately replaced in a fit of auto-antisemitic psychosexual pique by the early Zionist movement looking to dissassociate itself with the "sounds of Yiddish complaint". It's essentially brown-face as white Central European Jewish people do a vague centuries old impression of Jewish dockworkers in Algiers following their exoticization/eroticization by Ben-Yehuda.

Thank you! Reading this message in the morning reminded me to eat a quick breakfast.

Yes it's going to be on the concrete foundation. I will put down some rubber matting over plyboard so it's not just straight hammering on the foundation but that should be another $50 or so.

It's true! I e-mailed another brand about something I was interested in that was sold out and they just told me the restock date so now I know what I will get to spend it on. Or we can go out to a nice dinner lol.

I tend to cook intuitively so every once in a while I like to sit down and reason through what I make and how I conceptualized the units as I was making them lol. I'm trying to get the connection between my fist size and the related number of cups to help with rough adapting recipes for grains and things.

How do you find fava beans? I had some really good ones a friend had donated to them from Whole Foods but have no clue a normal place to buy them.

Nutritional yeast. It has a lot of essential vitamins, fiber, and amino acids. It adds a subtle savory and nutty flavor to food. It's a natural source of MSG and brings out other flavors.

Always gotta add the oil. I have been using peanut butter or safflower oil depending on the meal too to keep the unit price down. I found some berebere spices at a bulk store a few months ago and it let me make a lot of savory peanutbutter dishes before I ran out. I should really get more!

Although I found a store by me that sells palestinian olive oil for about the same price per volume as wine which is very nice. I bought the one from Nablus. The flavor is strong and a little peppery.

it's been important to realize the impact that eating regularly has on my mood and having these stopgap foods has been instrumental.

I hope it can be of help to you! I am living in a fixer-upper house right now without a real kitchen and all of my spare income is going into expediting repairs so I don't really have the energy or money to eat right now. Having these fairly tasty and healthy things I can always make has saved me from fast food and unnecessary expense. It's also nice because you can make each one as a single serving in a small pot and just use that pot as your bowl to minimize the number of dishes involved.

just eating preprocessed garbage

This really resonates with me. That's been a substantial amount of my diet. I got lucky that there's bulk bins at a store near me so I have been able to get small amounts of very different grains and pulses so I can have more variety.

Give yourself a two week license to eat as many chips as you want and after you will pretty much be out of the cravings period. But also it helps to get out of the deficit mindset ('stop eating meat') and get into a positive mindset ('start eating interesting plant-based meals'). Having a good cookbook helps. I like the America Test Kitchen Vegetarian cookbook with some modifications or the Moosewood Diner cookbook for quicker meals.

IMO the russian sanctions are very easy to follow no? India freely reports a 60% increase in oil imports from Russia and EU imports from India double almost overnight to 40% of India's daily production. Although that is much more macro-scale and easier to track then like the origins of the bolts in an imported car part.

This fact calls into the question the 3% figure. What percentage of China's GDP and exports balance are for components sent to intermediaries for US demand? These are levers available to the US to pull on as well beyond its direct trade relationships.

The KJ does this one every night when one of his friends walks into the bar? It's very abstract and honestly he nails it. He'll announce it and then go out back and when he comes in he's really energized and the vibe is really good.

I've had a pretty good time doing shoots n ladders by korn. Metal can work sometimes.
