Geek Love by Katherine Dunn

I just finished this book and wow what did I just read.

I really enjoyed it though and I’m processing it still. I’ve read a lot of unhinged books so I wasn’t super freaked out by the contents. But damn, it was interesting with the family dynamics and how it affected the main character.

Who else has read this?!

Must do hikes and nature

Hello all

Visiting from sunny San Diego and so excited to see Maui next week!

Would love to hear from locals on the best nature trails.

We unfortunately didn’t get reservations for Waianapanapa State Park or Ido Valley which is a super bummer. Didn’t realize it was needed, and we are more “go with the flow” people.

What are the best hikes and nature things to do and see? We are pretty fit and active.

Also any vegan food recommendations would be great.

Favorite RH Series

Hello all!

I’m a huge fan of Vanderpump Rules so I started watching RHOBH to see LVP beginnings. I love it so far and am season 4, but I’m wondering that is the best RH series/location and seasons?!

The most unhinged, the better. 😉

Suggest Me A Book Like The Horizon Series…

The video game series, Horizon, takes place in a post apocalyptic future where humans are “clones” or created by past genetic material.

There are machines on Earth to fight but I’m looking for something that has the post apocalyptic feeling.

Technology was super advanced and the new humans have pieces of machines and such.

Recommitting

Hello everyone

I was vegan for 5 years until I downgraded to vegetarian. I lied to myself saying it was healthier to be vegetarian. That I need animal protein. That it made social events easier. That I needed more B12. All lies. The truth was - it was the convenience.

I call myself a feminist and an animal lover but then eat dairy which is the exploitation of the female reproductive system. I don’t even like cheese that much. I’m not the person that says “I can’t live without cheese.”

I am a fraud.

I just wanted to post this somewhere where people would understand.

I am recommitting as of today. Please be kind. Thank you

La Roche face wash alternative

Hello everyone!

Almost everything I use is cruelty free except for La Roche Posay cleanser and moisturizer. I have dry skin and my face feels tight after I wash. The cleanser has been amazing for me as it’s gentle, suds up and doesn’t leave my face feeling super tight after. Along with the moisturizer, it’s light and really hydrates my face.

Does anyone have recommendations for a face wash similar to “LIPIKAR WASH AP+ MOISTURIZING BODY & FACE WASH” and “TOLERIANE DOUBLE REPAIR FACE MOISTURIZER”?

I know this is a cruelty free subreddit but I do prefer non toxic as well and fragrance free.

Thank you!!

Read some amazing books this year

I read some amazing books in the beginning of this year and I’m chasing the high of them. I am looking for more recommendations based on books I loved

The top books for me this year are

Demon Copperhead
Between Two Fires
A Short Stay In Hell
Kindred (by Octavia Butler, I’ve read almost all of her books)
Madonna in a fur coat

Any genre besides romantasy is fine with me! I love books with good writing and a strong plot. I do love a good adventure.

Thank you!

Minneapolis Itinerary

Hello all!!

My husband and are coming to the Minneapolis area in October. We are both originally from there, and both went to college in downtown Minneapolis. However we moved away 6 years ago and have been seldom back.

We have some friends that still live there who will take us around, but we want some recommendations as well!!

We will stay in the Minnehaha area with access to the light rail and we will get a rental car to go to places like Stillwater.

We are very active and into nature. Bonus for vegan restaurants!! We live in a place with no autumn, so we’d like to do autumn activities.

Thank you!!

Help me choose my next read!

Please let me know if this post isn’t allowed. I have these books on my Kindle, but can’t decide what to read next!

I just finished “My Year of Rest and Relaxation” and it was decent, 3/5. I mainly enjoy books with unique plots.

Thanks!!

Best beach run

Hello everyone!

I have recently gotten into running and mainly run at Discovery Lake in San Marcos. I live in La Costa and it’s pretty hilly everywhere.

I would like to try running at the beach! Is there a good beach that has a paved/semi paved area to run? I think Tamarack does but wanted any suggestions.

Also interested in any local run clubs, preferably Carlsbad and Encinitas.

Thanks!!

Heart Rate Variability

I’m still new to all this health data, and I’m not sure if these high numbers are good? I’ve been researching HRV but still don’t understand it.

I am considered athletic, I lift and run 5 days a week.

I think my ring is a tad too big as well.

Are these numbers good?

Season 8 (spoilers)

I’m a first time watcher in the first half of season 8.

Am I the only one who does not feel bad about the murder?! He raped Gabby as a teenager!!!!!! And was going to hurt her again!!!! He is a pedophile rapist !!!

I get Carlos feeling upset to a degree but this intense guilt from Susan and the others is confusing and frustrating.

He was not an innocent man. He was literally about to attack Gabby AGAIN!!! They are acting like a random, innocent, kind man was killed in cold blood by Carlos. Carlos did the right thing.

Am I missing something here?
