I grew up on the Nashua, and despite spending more years fishing on the cascadilla, six mile, and fall creeks, (and later on the Stillwater and Quinapoxet) my heart belongs to the Connecticut

I hate things like this though. I can infer that they mean visible crime. Theft and assault and that shit. But by value most crime is wage theft and white collar crime and that's not motivated by poverty

I have plastic derangement syndrome and an infinite hoard of little metal toggles and rings and stuff so I've been making these out of cotton webbing and honestly they work just as well. Though I do love a good voile and voile knockoff, the derangement is not rational

I will note neither of those driveways are mine. That grass in front of the van is one neighbor, that driveway on the right is another. But this spot has the best sun so I've just managed to anger two neighbors simultaneously (my garden is imposing ok the view from their parked cars or something)

The fancy oil free face stuff I use every day has a bunch of stearate/stearin ingredients which are themselves fat derivatives! Traditionally from animal fats like tallow! Though frequently from hydrogenated palm oil products now.

I mean I look a lot, I have to. These two sunscreens in my closest proximity have jojoba and coconut oil in them, respectively. The one I use on my face is oil free however, or at least it says that on the front. Come to think of it I don't think I checked that one before I bought it
