hey ladies + guys,
I’ve noticed there are lots of dog lovers around here, so I wanted to put this little message out there: yesterday, one of my dearest childhood friends and her husband stepped in to save a dog (there was a second dog, but its injuries were far less severe and, by the time my friend’s husband stepped in, that dog had already been pulled to safety) and its owner from...

today begins my two month hiatus from all but a very few leisure activities. posting will be sporadic, but please don’t leave — I’ll be back so soon!
in the meantime, I’ll definitely be providing plenty of subpar iphone shots of the scenery as I run, the occasional feel-y ramblings, and a few links to articles that are more interesting than the various subjects I’m...

I don’t normally post about food here — my typical meals are extremely simple (for lunch today I had a can of sliced beets, an Annie’s individual microwaveable mac and cheese, and a million pickles) — but I have to (HAVE TO) share this with you:

you know how sometimes you want to go shopping, but that voice in the back of your head reminds you that those new clothes were probably sewn by blind, fingerless infants who are chained to a floor made of concrete and fire and paid five cents a year? check out ethical ocean. maybe that will help.

to begin, a question: a recent study shows that male mice who are fed probiotics (yogurt) have larger testicles. obviously it isn’t clear that this translates perfectly to human males, however early research suggests that human males may experience similar effects. so… is this something that’s desirable among men? I mean, I’m obviously aware that there are some size...
