Takeaways from 2 Years of Duolingo Spanish. Content Warning.
Two years ago on this date, I downloaded the Duolingo app for approximately the 15th time. When I’d been inspired to try brushing up on my Spanish in the past, I’d start out hot and heavy only to sputter out after a few weeks of enthusiasm and dedication.

Scared of Surgery Anesthesia? You Can Cure Yourself of that Awful Fear
A friend recently published a story about their fear of anesthesia and surgical procedures. They said they felt like a coward. I am here to say they are not cowardly—they are human and normal. We are all anxious and intimidated when we face serious medical issues.

Pints & Parkruns: Jubilee, Spennymoor
If MC Escher created a parkrun, it might look a bit like Jubilee. Based in a compact – but surprisingly lovely – park in the small County Durham town of Spennymoor, it twists and turns its way up repeated hills.

These Legs Won't Power Me.
When I was a kid, for years and years, I could barely walk. Anywhere. I would legitimately have to train myself with further and futher distances, all distances that all other people my age could walk daily normally until the pain through my legs finally got too unbearable, and I'd stop. Sometimes just walking these distances back then would put me in so much pain I would be physically ill from it and would then get shit from my teachers for missing days. Whenever I got back to school, I would get into arguments about them about those days off as they would threaten me with detentions for missing too much time or exclusions no matter how bad I tried to describe the situation.

Day 27 of My 40 Day Fast: The Importance of Soap Is a Lie
A week into my fast I felt guided to stop cleansing with soap, shampoo/conditioner, even laundry detergent. I had to refrain from putting any moisturizing products on my face, lips, and body. I even had to stop putting contact lenses into my eyes. My guess is that the skin, scalp, and eyeballs absorb everything that goes onto it into the body, and I’m meant to keep this fast as pure as possible.
