@PatrickChristys I hope both sides F them. Would be poetic.

It’s happening…the Greens are going to have to choose between LGBT and the hardline Muslim vote

@HansAmato My panic attacks are worsened by sleep deficit. I consciously try and avoid that. Consistent bed times and deep abdominal breathing help too.

A tablespoon of honey before bed would have saved me 2 years of thinking I was losing my mind. Every night around 3am I'd wake up with my heart slamming against my chest. Feeling of absolute dread. Like something terrible was about to happen but I couldn't name it. Couldn't fall back asleep for 90 minutes. Sometimes longer. Just lying there in the dark convinced something was fundamentally wrong with my brain. Went to my doctor. "Generalized anxiety disorder." Trazodone for sleep. When that didn't work, he floated Lexapro. At no point did anyone ask me when I ate my last meal. I was eating dinner around 6pm. Intermittent fasting because some podcast told me it was optimal. By 2am my liver had burned through all stored glycogen. Blood sugar dropped below the threshold my brain considers safe. When that happens your adrenals fire an emergency response. Cortisol and adrenaline flood your bloodstream to force glucose back up. That adrenaline dump IS the "panic attack." Heart rate spikes. Pupils dilate. Feeling of impending doom. Not because something is wrong with your mind. Because your body ran out of fuel while you were sleeping and pulled the emergency brake. The fix was so stupid I almost didn't believe it. > Raw honey. One tablespoon. 30 minutes before bed. Gives your liver enough fructose to maintain glycogen stores through the night. Blood sugar stays stable. Adrenals never fire. > Stopped intermittent fasting. Started eating a real dinner at 8pm with carbs, protein, and fat. The fat slows gastric emptying and extends the fuel supply overnight. > Added a small snack before bed on heavy training days. Banana with almond butter or raw milk with honey. The 3am wake-ups stopped in 4 days. Not 4 weeks. 4 days. Two years of nocturnal panic. Thousands of dollars in appointments. Almost went on a medication that alters serotonin signaling in the brain. And the answer was a spoonful of honey and eating dinner later. How to confirm this before you fill any prescription: > Test fasting glucose first thing in the morning. Below 80 mg/dL means you're likely running out of fuel overnight. > Test cortisol rhythm (4-point salivary cortisol). If nighttime cortisol is elevated, your adrenals are compensating for a blood sugar problem. > Track when you eat your last meal and when you wake up. If the gap is consistently 8+ hours and the wake-up is between 2-4am, your blood sugar is crashing. The full nocturnal protocol is on my substack. Every marker to test, what the numbers mean, and how to have the conversation with your doctor before you accept a prescription you might not need.

It’s a miracle how he always manages to look like a toddler that’s pooped his pants.

Can we just skip this one episode? 😂

When and how Kashmiri Tantric tradition ended up in Kerala remains quite enigmatic.

@Cheaftertruth Is domestic bliss like this?

@DeeInMargins My wife hates me for having a huge appetite so I started eating outside. Average life of NRI😓

Best time of the year to be out and about.

@OurHealthNest That’s what I do with milk at home, and I also make butter from the cream (once I collect a nice heap of it over days).

Homemade Yoghurt 😋

I'm a smoll baby... Leave me alone.. mummy, there you are 🥰

@libriscent I wish I could I could endorse this post a hundred times.

“but you handled it so well” thanks! i actually gave myself an autoimmune disease

@GanKanchi Extremely hard to find anyone in Trivandrum too. We have several trees in my parents’ yard. When we were younger, following the coconut pickers around used to be a ritual in itself.

Keralam uses simple tech for *improved* "ease-of-convenience" to maintain culture !!🤝👏 Online Bookings for Coconut plucking guy in Kerala. Quick work, comes on time to do the work.

@surabhi140 @GanKanchi If I’m not wrong, you are not allowed to carry any coconuts as per more stricter regulations. Airports widely display in banned items’ list.

@GanKanchi Will he put them onto flights for Europe to get same day plucked coconuts? Customers can book online in EUR Asking for some friends.

I miss the childhood favs that felt uncomplicated, because they balanced action, humour and light lessons, without heavy serialisation or contriving deeper themes.

@Jun__Pyo_ 🙌🏼

Preferring someone with zero thoughts on how the real world operates means you are intimidated by basic intellect. If you want a companion with no opinions better get a golden retriever.

Denim on denim You can’t go wrong if you don’t do wrong.
