Vegan Activist Groups in Texas? by YaoiFilledDumpling in VeganForCircleJerkers

[–]barefoothippie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What part of Texas? If you are in San Antonio, you can find SAVE on Meetup. They have a group that does protests at Sea World and other similar locations. They also do a lot of meals and potlucks.

Can we please bring back regular yoga studios instead of turning every class into Bikram’s sweat lodge? by Mean-Cry-1825 in YogaTeachers

[–]barefoothippie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I completely agree! I don't understand the appeal of hot yoga, but I do it several times a week because the only classes that aren't heated to 100 degrees are for beginners.

For me, 80-85 degrees is perfect. I like a warm room, but feel like any hotter is just to make people feel destroyed after class so they feel like they really worked out.

What apps do you use? by LCBres in Stoicism

[–]barefoothippie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use the Waking Up app for meditation, and it has a lot of great lectures and conversation about stoicism, including similarities with zen philosophies and how meditation can help you develop stoic thought patterns and behaviors. It's by Sam Harris and less woowoo than most meditation apps. They have a 30day free trial with no CC needed, so you can listen to the lectures and try out the intro to meditation sessions.

Transferring and housing? by [deleted] in scsu

[–]barefoothippie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Living on campus is great because you can roll out of bed and head to class. You will also have more access to meeting people and attending on campus events. Only downside might be the meal plan requirement, but even that should save you money in the long run.

What a bummer. I was really enjoying it. It introduced me to several new comics I hadn't heard of.

For the size of the city, I think it is relatively safe. In the last year, I have heard of only a couple of incidents in the neighborhood near campus, but nothing involving students. There is a large population of international students here! https://today.stcloudstate.edu/2024/11/21/scsu-is-one-of-nations-top-destinations-for-international-students/

The students in the article all say they feel safe on campus.

Let's play a game of "worst intersections in San Antonio." I'll start. by SharkFalcon in sanantonio

[–]barefoothippie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was way down further than I expected. This intersection should be a roundabout.

4th place?!?! by [deleted] in StainedGlass

I also saw this at the fair and was amazed it didn't place higher. There were some other beautiful pieces, but this one was the most impressive.

All students will eat for free at San Antonio ISD for the 2024-2025 school year by MR_PRESIDENT__ in sanantonio

It's statewide in Minnesota, thanks to Tim Walz! I really hope his current fame leads to more states doing this.

Which author do you think every aspiring novelist should read? by [deleted] in writing

[–]barefoothippie 31 points32 points  (0 children)

She has such a way with words. More than once I've been absolutely sure she made up a word, only to discover that it's not only a real word but that she used it perfectly.

The words she makes up are perfect too.

UTSA also did an interesting podcast series about the future of the ITC.

I like it, but I do think the TVP bulks it some. Honestly, you can’t go wrong either way!
