Why are agriculture classes the first time I've learned extremely basic info about nutrition and how digestion works. Why isn't this stuff in health textbooks or any easily accessible resource about healthy eating.

Caring too much
So we had dinner last night with my partner's indomitable aunt of 83 years of age. This woman has done everything and is still sharp as a tack. And she prides herself on being up-to-date on world affairs.
We arrived with flowers and fresh from the nail salon. And immediately things were not good. Not in your face not good, just off slightly. My partner is a man, raised in a small rural town. He however doesn't fit that mold and since being with me has as he said, "Let go of silly social restrictions."
He loves getting his nails done. He doesn't do anything fancy, just black gel nail polish on closely trimmed nails, this time with a lime green accent nail.
She almost immediately said, "Esuna, you have to take that off."
Esuna didn't hear this as he had to get up and go get our eldest from the bus stop. Now, I didn't say anything as she rapidly moved to another topic and quite frankly I forgot. (Other things were said that also needed addressing but that is another story I don't have the mental spoons for right now)
So we get to the end of dinner and we are discussing our upcoming vacation to Disneyland. And I joke about us getting Disney nails, and Esuna agrees. The aunt bursts out, "You can't wear nail polish to the United States!"
We both look at her and I realize I hadn't addressed the comment earlier. Now with older people, I will take the time to unpack stuff, especially when they have shown themselves willing to learn, so I gently asked, "Auntie, why ever not?"
What came out of her mouth was a stream of some well-researched and internet propaganda information. She was genuinely terrified my 6 foot 1, 220-pound partner with a beard was going to be attacked simply for wearing nail polish. We tried to placate her and to also acknowledge that yes, there were parts of the States that are definitely not safe for 2SLGBTQIA+ people at this time. But she could not be swayed. And the true caring was there, but gods it was coated in so much unacknowledged misogyny and homophobia. I wanted to hug her and shake her at the same time.
So today, I curate links to reassure her and to educate her, because this is worth the spoons.

I wish this was not the case... I try and listen to the one songs album because I often find listening to the entire album as recorded, it can often make me warm to the rest of the music. Sadly, this hasn't been working as of late.

Little Things
A pair of chipped and splintered drumsticks
Do they break for you now?
I hope so
A satisfying snap and shatter of shrapnel
A new set appearing as needed
A golden package of cigarettes
Are they always fresh?
I hope so
The smell of fresh tobacco
A lighter that never falters
A steaming bowl of lor wor wonton
Is it spicy enough?
I hope so
Spicy and rich broth on your tongue
A glass of water always at hand
A plaid mac jacket
Is it warm enough?
I hope so
Soft and warm
Broken in but never worn out

Matching Ecto in the frost.
If you had told me getting a dog would change my life I would have told you, you were daft. But he is my shadow, my confidante, and constant joy. I always figured I was a cat person, but I seem to be both, though I don't think I will get another cat, I will just enjoy other people's cats.

So many friends lost...
Four of us sat in a worn-out car in the back of a McDonald's parking lot. It sure had plenty of city miles on it.
The music was loud, the laughs were endless, and none of us were concerned about anything but these moments in time. We started using drugs on nights like these, but none of us gave it too much reflection. Deep down inside we all thought the same thing: this is just a phase and someday, soon enough, we would grow out of it.
It's heartbreaking to look back at those moments with the understanding that we were not going to grow out of it - we were growing into it. We were growing into poor grades, lost friends, and abandoned hobbies. We were growing into family fights, restless nights, and an insatiable appetite. We were growing into police cruisers, holding cells, and psych wards. Some of us were growing into our caskets.
Four of us sat in an old worn-out car in the back of a McDonald's parking lot.
Two of us never made it out.

Books I'm struggling to finish and why
I hate leaving books unfinished... so I'm putting this out there to see if it helps me get over it.
Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear
Privileged White Male Giving advice that was intended for neurotypical people.
2. The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz
New Sherlock Holmes and the narrator is annoying me and there is an awkward social situation that is making me anxious
3. The Twist of the Knife - Anthony Horowitz
This case is not plausible to me in any way and the whole situation is making me cringe
4. To Be a Girl: A transgender girl's breathtaking fight to survive as herself in Victorian England. by Alexandra Hamer
I cannot handle any more trauma happening to this character and I'm a wuss.

To the Partner of my Ex,
So the time has come, you and he are parting ways. I don't know why, I don't need to know. I just hope you are ok, I hope you are protecting yourself and getting the help you need. I hope he doesn't take more than he already has from you. I hope this is a moment of healing and I wish you the best.
Me

shout out to Scooby-Doo for raising several generations with the trope of 'they take off the mask and it's always the greedy rich white bastard who wanted even more fucking money' even if they get made fun of for it because at the end of the day? damn. it really always is some greedy rich white bastard who wants even more fucking money.

Once upon a time, I was up on all the ships... the fact this did not even occur to me makes me laugh.
I'll love you for a thousand more—
— a starker prompt
Peter is aware of the age difference between him and Tony, he's always reminded of it, he's always plagued by the idea of Tony being the first to go, Tony being the first to age, thirty years, thirty years was a large age imbalance, Peter could be fifty while Tony? He'd be eighty by that time. He could be sick, he could have lost some of his memories, he might need help taking a bath, eating, hell, he might be even in a wheelchair or bedridden.
Peter knew all of that. Knew all of the baggage that came with being a man who is much older than him.
But Peter is smart. Peter is a scientist.
And most of all, Peter is selfish.
They were still young, Peter twenty five, Tony fifty five, both at their prime. But Peter couldn't bear the idea of losing Tony.
So, he makes an immortality serum.
Peter Parker Stark at the age of twenty five sucessfully creates what he calls, Lifetime Particles.
Infused with his and Tony's DNA, no one except him and Tony are eligible to the serum without any side effects.
Good thing Tony is selfish as well.
