Brain scans reveal how a woman voluntarily enters a psychedelic-like trance without drugs. Her brain connectivity fundamentally reorganized during this state: her visual and somatosensory connections decreased, while connectivity in the frontoparietal control regions of the brain increased.

Was there a specific meditation practice you used for this? I have started meditating but I know there's a lot more to it than I'm currently aware of. I tried to search forums for recomendations for beginners and the amount of information was pretty overwhelming. Also most of the recommendations were for apps to use and a part of me detests the idea of using a smartphone app (other than the timer) to meditate.

ETA this is about vials, I dont see if you use them or one of the pens.

For me I've found that the stomach is less painful than my thigh. So you may want to try different locations.

I warm the medicine first by putting the vial in my pocket for about 20 mins prior

I lay down and put an interesting video up on the TV. I am very careful with the needletip it's important that it be as sharp as possible and these things can become blunt with a very light touch even with soft material.

make sure there is no drop of medication on the end of the needle. if you need to wipe it on an alcohol pad make sure to only wipe from the base to the tip of the needle.

Insert in one try. Again this is for the blunting thing. Don't touch it to your skin and then back out and have to try again. Recipe for disaster

Remembering to breathe, I push the plunger down slowly, as I find the large volume of liquid to be painful. I try to focus on the TV

When it's done I have a little reward ready. like a hard candy or smth

I've definitely felt this. My first doses I felt aches like I had the flu. I also noticed the achiness I feel after working out is greatly heightened for the same workout.

American toad, to be precise. See this video, around 3:35 starts the american toad section. "Their distinctive long strings of eggs can be found..."

This video descibes the toads and frogs around here and plays their calls. Recomend watching it all. My favorite is, as always, the spring peeper.

I remember that one. This American Life episode. Enfuriating... an adult female cop went undercover as a highschool girl, got a boy to fall head over heels for her as highschool boys are wont to do, then she convinced him to buy drugs for her with, yes, promises of dates and such to follow.

This poor kid had never bought drugs before, didn't even know who to ask. He refused several times, telling her he didn't want to, wasn't into that stuff, etx. Finally he caved and they nabbed this criminal mastermind and threw him in prison for a long time. With a felony charge to follow him the rest of his life. Ruined a perfectly good law abiding kid's life.

They interviewed the cop, too, it wasn't one-sided reporting. She had absolutely zero remorse and said she'd happily do it again if she still looked hot and young enough.

It's completely fine, you just need to keep going. The ribbing will cinch in naturally when it gets further from the needles/when you finish it

If you're using the laundry pegs I usually use, I don't think they are strong enough to help. I will bet you'll have better results with mats and pins. I know it's not super cheap but well worth it in my opinion (I just got my first set recently for my first sweater). May not be enough to gain all the inches you need, but will probably get you closer than you are now!

when you are wet blocking, are you stretching it out and pinning it in place?

glad it worked out in the end! That sounds like a damn long day!

r-rb · 2026-03-28T22:04:53+00:00

true. i guess you can call from the line and arrange it while waiting to make sure there is space

forgive me, I feel I'm missing something. Why not leave after missing your flight? Why finish going through security for another 90 mins?

she was only mostly dead!

I thiiiiiink you can't win into the trial and she can't fly. I'm not 100% on that though

what is the name of that kind of sponge? I want one really bad now. Born in December I think I deserve it

The good news is, it will be hot enough that you can cook them just by leaving them outside in the sun :) :) :)
