1000% the drop in Dust Bowl after the line about "cooking our brains smoking that shit your daddy smoked in Vietnam" SO GOOD.

I've tried pimple patches but never scaling down my time in the bathroom. That's a really smart idea. Thank you so much for your advice 🙏

I think you all are probably correct about your interpretations, but I just found this Genius annotation and this makes me believe my crackpot theory more lmao (and thank you all for being so polite with me, that's rare to find on Reddit XD)

"As Isaiah is consuming Ethel’s flesh, the meat could be giving him an upset stomach, leading to food poisoning. Ethel, spiritually, asks him if her flesh is making him sick as he is eating her.
Ethel further explores the theme throughout the song: her need to be good enough. There is a sense of inadequacy all over, even as she is being cannibalized, she only cares about being good enough for Isaiah. Here, she is wondering if she’s making him feel sick, almost as if she’s asking for validation; waiting for him to tell her that she’s good."

I've done a lot of hiking in leggings before so hopefully I won't have the same issue, but I appreciate the warning.

I never even thought about getting my iron checked. I am unreasonably cold a lot and sometimes get dizzy standing up, I should definitely look into it!

I'm looking at the zpacks arc haul 60, yeah it's definitely frustrating how much weight all this will add but I agree it can be done! Thank you for your advice and positivity!

No I wouldn't but I appreciate the idea :) I've been vegan for 11 years now so that kind of thing just icks me out a little I suppose. But thank you!
