I personally love the book wild. Cheryl Stayed really is a tremendous writer. She somehow is able to inspire an individual to put themselves imaginarily into the situations she endeavoured while hiking the PCT. She simultaneously encourages the reader to consider many other possible avenues. It’s a powerful journey that asks one to introspect and eschew some pre conceived concepts. I highly recommend

To my knowledge many highly lauded chefs love American cheese in dishes. I’ve seen it on countless occasions

I just finished watching Nan Goldin’s incredible documentary film about the pharmaceutical oligarchy known as the Sackler family “All the beauty and the bloodshed.” Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t it win the Golden Lion at Venice last year? It is full of controversial elements. Not that I’d dispute any of them tbh. The Sacklers are a scourge. Accessibility of crucial information such as the film elucidates seems like something that we should be striving towards in this life. Knowledge over subversion. Truth over profit. Wouldn’t that be something. But again it comes down to the wealthiest individuals in our society’s benefit over the rest of our collective well being.
