As a massage therapist that used to work in education (director of education at a massage school and taught anatomy/pathology) results will vary wildly across the States. The majority of states only started licensing in the last 10-15 years, and of course requirements for licensing and supervision varies. Some schools teach enough anatomy to get their students to pass the tests, then focus their time teaching spa type massage (aromatherapy, wraps, hot stones, etc.) or energy work. Not saying there's anything wrong with that, but it serves a different purpose.

There are definitely schools that exist that focus more on therapeutic/rehabilitative work, but even then the challenge is finding a therapist with an up to date approach who doesn't buy the old school "no pain no gain" who kicks the shit out of you. Massage shouldn't hurt. But if your find the right therapist for you, they're worth their weight in gold.

Kitty isn't actually eating Cheetos. This is a photo from a seance and they've connected to the spirit of the original Chester Cheetah. This is simply ectoplasm being expelled.

Dateline, Forensic Files...

But I find Myths and Legends more comfortable to fall asleep to. Far less concern when I hear a noise in the middle of the night lol.

Someone close to me was raped the first 5 years of his life by a relative, and has been in therapy (very successfully) ever since. When someone that young experiences ongoing trauma like that, it fucks all the developmental areas in life including the reward/feel good parts of the brain. There are things that the brain becomes wired for that can't be undone, but with effective treatment can be managed.

Under the best circumstances recovery is incredibly hard, without therapy and proper support it's not surprising someone could go off the rails like this. Not saying that this predator was abused because I don't know, but it's statistically likely.

There's an actual quality true crime podcast called Crime Junkie, and an associated podcast specifically dedicated to cold cases called The Deck. It's a whole thing for some people, but occasionally a listener hits on something and makes a phone call that gets the ball rolling again.

I listen because I find it interesting, but that's the extent of it. Some people it's truly a hobby, or more to chase information down.

In this case Finland actually takes care of their people and homelessness isn't a problem there. They're just really polite introverts who I might guess prefer sitting alone as opposed to on a bench close to others.

Source - my introverted niece met a Fin, fell in love, moved to Finland and is in absolute heaven. Her husband has visited the States a few times and is always overwhelmed with the casual social interactions with strangers in public.

Local to me, but https://www.modest.coffee/ offers subscriptions as well.

I haven't subscribed because different times of year I order from Modest or pick up from another local roaster, but the beans I get were typically roasted a day or so before shipping.

"which I set at 200 degrees for like 20 minutes just to get it to slightly above room temperature throughout."

I read that like 4 times wondering how fucking hot your room is.

Who hurt you?

Not gonna lie - if I had one of those big bags I'd eat myself sick on them.

No worries 🙂. I am in a much better place these days, but as a 51yo woman my hormones have tanked and sleep is now a foreign concept. I exercise regularly, eat a reasonable diet, wind down and go to bed then get up at the same time 7 days a week, but that wasn't enough. Melatonin alone leaves me feeling groggy, but I've found micro dosing THC prior to bed to be helpful. 2.5 mg an hour before bed then another 2.5 when I lay down buys me about 6 hrs of uninterrupted sleep before I fade in and out. It's a huge improvement from waking every 90 minutes and struggling to fall back asleep.
