It has been a hot minute since I've lifted. Almost a whole month. I've been running and working out at home (occasionally....), so at least my body isn't TOO shocked. I'm definitely not looking forward to the DOMS over the next few days and on the plane, though... Oh yeah, we're going on a plane! … Continue reading In-Between Thoughts 5.21.19: Resentment beliefs
I don't know why I'm surprised anymore, but the end of this semester kicked my @$$ AGAIN. I was a ball of stress. Having several work trips and events on top of things WAS NOT HELPFUL NO IT WAS NOT THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I turned everything in, but my work was pretty bad. Sub-par … Continue reading Therapy is making me… raw
Well, shoot. We are rapidly hurtling through May, which means this post is less than timely. AND I SKIPPED A WHOLE MONTH. BUT I have an excuse (not that anyone is demanding one). April is the month where school starts kicking my butt and work starts getting crazy with end-of-the-semester events and for other work-related … Continue reading The best things I read in March
The point of writing philosophy is to be a catalyst to other people's thought, not to set down the truth for all time.Nigel Warburton, Philosophy Bites podcast host One thing I love about philosophy and science is that they are, in their own ways, never-ending. There will never be a point at which either science … Continue reading Truth has no end point
We released our 26th episode! HAPPY OFFICIAL ONE YEAR PODIVERSARY TO US. But I already celebrated that enough Tuesday. What I'm thinking about today is how our overall emotional experiences may shift as we age, particularly as regarding envy. As I mentioned in our AOV blog post on Envy/Contentment, there are four kinds of envy. … Continue reading New AOV Episode: Envy/Contentment
Lifting legs the day after a 9-mile run was not the best idea I ever had. I. Am. Exhausted. Not even the apple pie pastry I had this afternoon is giving me life. STUPID TIRED LEGS. (I'm sorry for yelling, legs -- I really love you and do want you to be happy. I will … Continue reading In-between Thoughts 3.18.19 — Reflections on podcasting
I haven't done a recipe in a long time! I love food and think about it pretty much constantly, so this is a tragic oversight. Sadly, I just don't make enough deliciousness these days that's worth sharing. Lately it's just "get home, throw some stuff in the oven or in a pot and hope for … Continue reading Triple Garlic, Smoked Chicken Sausage, and Fennel Soup
These are some heavy (rim shot!) thoughts to be having at the gym, but I kind of like that. It's a good reminder to me that everyone here is going through their own stuff and situated deeply in their own minds. Maybe I can use this to learn to be more gracious about what people … Continue reading In-Between Thoughts 3.15.19 – Grief
There's a tension between standing up for what is right, unapologetically and strongly, and the need to "meet people where they are" to have a productive dialogue and, frankly, to having the best chance to change their minds. The first works well for policy changes, the second better interpersonally. I don't have much to say … Continue reading Changing policies, changing minds
I did sumo deadlifts today! I am enjoying this lift so far. It really targets the glutes and inner thighs, so it's slightly different-feeling than my regularly-scheduled deadlifts. I've had the same routine for a while now, so even this little modification is a nice, invigorating change. Now onto thinking thoughts of the thinker variety... … Continue reading In-Between Thoughts 3.11.19: Meaning-making
