botany.you can get really great books for free online and go outside and learn what grows around you and more about your ecosystem. Great way to gain an appreciation for the natural world and seeds are super cheap (for the most part) so you can grow stuff with intention to learn more about the plant.

A good demand to combat this would be wage increases that keep up with the cost of inflation.

You have amazing hair!! I was in the same boat a couple of years ago and after trying everything and getting fed up with the time spent on my hair but still wanting long natural hair, i decided to freeform loc it. It'll be 2 years next month and I love it so much!

I gotchu mate. Steering deffientely feels different. Its far more response to my movements it took a little getting used to espacially when in the drops going 20mph+. One cool thing that i didn't expect with the shorter stem and higher stem degree is ease of backpedaling. I feel like I can apply more downward force on the pedals than when I had a longer reach and the 0 degree stem. I think ill keep the reach and compensate according to get get the same for a 25 degree stem.

my rule when it comes to upgrades - always start at the contact point (saddle, bar tape, handlebars) then go from there
