Think #2

Zucchini

• Is sorta yucky. It tastes bad raw. It gets mushy when cooked. And the seeds- so freaking annoying. The only time I’m okay with eating zucchini is when it’s in a hearty soup, because it’s mostly hidden.
• Zoodles suck. I feel so strongly about this that I’ve tweeted it in the past, and I don’t tweet very often. Zoodles are fake try-hards and will NEVER be able to capture the hearts of so many like real pasta does. If you want pasta, just eat pasta. Obviously less of it if you’re worried about calories.

Mike Posner and blackbear

• They were green-haired emo white boys with major drug problems, and they made good music. I loved “stfu” from their first album mansionz.
• Now, blackbear has a wife and kid, along with chronic pancreatitis. His most recent album wasn’t his best, in my opinion. But I’m glad the lyrics he’s currently writing don’t reflect his current life as much as the previous ones did.
• Mike Posner walked across America in 2019 and got a rattlesnake bite along the way. He said the journey changed his outlook on life. His most recent song, “Beautiful Day,” is a beacon of positivity. According to Google AI, he’s married to blackbear, but his Instagram clearly shows otherwise.
• I’m happy for them. They seem to be in way better places in their lives.

Bruxism

• This is actually horrible. I feel like most dentists just put a band-aid on the problem by giving you a night guard/splint. These don’t solve anything- they just decrease tooth damage.
• Stress is obviously a huge contributor. Something people might not consider, though, is OSA. And contrary to popular belief, skinny people can have OSA too.
• I’ve read that magnesium supplements help a lot with muscle tension and grinding, but they can also give you diarrhea, which is why I’ve been holding off. But maybe it’s worth it?
