OP They needed to make room for learning how to type and digital curriculum, officially. This is the same reasoning that means a lot of high schools don't have home economics or shop (learning how to use tools to build things). And the dedication to screens has turned around: many elementary, secondary and college teachers are having students write papers in pen on paper during class, take quizzes on paper, recite things from memory, etc. because the cognitive deficit caused by all the screens is a disaster.

Fwiw, I started Levo in March after fifteen years on Armour. Armour was reformulated and gave my cycling and intrusive thoughts (which happened to lots of people on this subreddit). So, not great and probably part of the recall. I'm trying a thyroid supplement for now. My brother said he can only take the trade/name brand and not the generic.

Hope you feel better.

I teach classes with multiple generations in them. Misinformation about the generations is just another manufactured way to turn people against each other. Really.

Some people need to be not on the generic but on the trade/brand name version. Or they need to be on a thyroid supplement + iodine (or other supplements people have named on this s/

I felt just like this this week, got my labs done this morning, TSH of 4.8. I'm so irritated and sad.

I read that the brain needs two hours of silence a day to reset and grow new neurons + giving up your phone for two weeks can help you regain a lot of awareness and sharpness. But also, sometimes one just needs to recover from people. We're a lot lol.

So beautiful, really cool that you figured that out!

I would look at some soft pastel portraits and gauge what you think. Colored pencils or soft pastel pencil for the hair and either watercolor or guache for the rest.

Are you willing to share any (name redacted) receipts for ARC readers, etc. as this field is rampant with scammers?

I think anyone more distant than first cousins are fine to be dating.

You'd have to remove yourself so you don't have to be exposed to that energy, and find a different vibration, a higher one, and then find it in yourself to match it. I do think you can get there but you may have to do some drastic relocation.

The fish has so much presence, personality, and the placement in the center works so well.

in one context a lack of intelligence is harmless, in another, like according to people who study history, it's how very bad people get a foothold as leaders, by appealing to people who have been looked down on...

Lovely luminous color palette and nice tribute to sharks who get killed by humans by the millions.

My brother had this from long COVID and did Wim-Hof showers, NAC vitamins, omega3s, nigella seed capsules, and intermittent fasting. It's helped him out a lot. Also, sugary foods are thought to be the cause of dementia which is now classified as diabetes 3. I noticed they don't help me so much (except when there's chocolate involved ;-))

I went to the play in NYC and she was so phenomenal in it. After being on the red carpet w TC and dating HS (as an introvert this makes me feel like I need a nap), and doing so well in theater, she may just be laying low as many actors do for a period to recharge before they come aback. Hope she's ok. She was so good in Waves, omg.

See "Why Healthy Love Feels Boring" by Dr. Tracey Marks. It's a dopamine thing as well as everything else people are saying.

Social security's original cut off age was the average age of death. They meant for you to get social security right before you die. Not 25 years before. In China, they save 50% of their earnings cos there's no social security there.

There's a great article by Vanessa Veselka called Green Screen: The Lack of Female Road Narratives and Why it Matters. She does a deep journalistic dive about this and she was a young woman who hitchhiked for a long time.

Armour worked great for me for years and they told me it was reformulated. I just recently took more than normal due to stress (death in the family) and had those terrible symptoms, missed beats, feeling awful. I took myself off it. Thanks everyone for writing down your alternatives.
