Take as long as you feel like, and try not to focus on "getting through" the book. On my first read, I was lucky enough to feel like I couldn't put it down. I tried a second time years later and didn't get very far, I think because I was focused on finishing it.

Why do you say that? I don't see anything in this article that references cocaine babies. And in what way are they a legit issue? It's an incredibly rare phenomenon and prenatal cocaine exposure doesn't have any consistent or defining characteristics.
I also love MMA and shared the same sentiment. I recall seeing this gallery of Joanna Jedrzeczyk's opponents before and after.
Your opponent doesn't need to be a man to break your face. Sometimes you're just outmatched.
How exactly do you use these together?
As a recovering Catholic, my experience has been that Lutherans tend to be humble, charitable, and... not weird. Lutheranism puts a heavy emphasis on showing grace to yourself and people around you. I guess without the obsession with sex and shame, you can be a Christian and turn out pretty normal.
I experienced both sides. I was out there protesting every night the first weekend after Floyd was murdered. Friday night the cops and NG were present, but they didn't intervene and didn't stop any vandalism. Saturday they set an 8pm curfew and NG started tear-gassing at about 8:15pm. At the time I thought it was despicable that they were gassing even those of us who were marching peacefully. The government can murder people but we can't walk down the street in protest?
Then I went to work on Monday (I was leading therapy groups with teens) and they were saying they felt scared all the time. Humvees on their street, gunshots, fires, people screaming, talk of civil war. Then I understood why Walz was saying, "The people of Minneapolis deserve to feel safe." The protests continued during the day, and at the provocateurs couldn't hide in a crowd of 50,000 people.
Over time I've come to think that Walz couldn't have had a better response to what happened, and he was willing to be the bad guy. Jacob Frey was a scared little boy the entire time (still is) and had no fucking clue what he was doing (still doesn't) without Walz.
He said something like, "You don't supervise the lunch room for 19 years and come out with a full head of hair."
He's going to talk to Vance like a child.
He's wrong very frequently. He had a couple amazing parlays and people think he has some special sauce.
Well said. In addition to these stories demonizing trans people (or in this case, masc-looking cis people) they also fragilize women. We normally celebrate women in combat sports as feminist symbols, but suddenly we can't stomach these delicate little angels being beat up.
I don't know a ton about boxing, but in MMA fighters made similar comments about fighting Ronda Rousey, Cyborg, Joanna Jedrzeczyk, and Amanda Nunes. "I've never been hit that hard." "She completely overpowered me."
We already have a way of separating athletes based on their ability. It's called competition. Sometimes you're just outmatched.
And later in the movie Barbie talks about feeling silenced and ignored and Ken says something like, "It doesn't feel good, does it?"
One of my faves. I've never understood why people say it's impossible to adapt.
