A brief appreciation of Peter Falk in Columbo, by Joe Dator in The New Yorker

I need to watch Columbo.

Well, the other reason is that it’s all now available online to stream on Peacock. I am one of the people who mainlined all the seasons in about five weeks. I fucking love that show.

I stan Columbo.

Columbo is my ult.

Just biding my time really. I finally finished my chronological viewing of Murder She Wrote.

I've decided to use the term "convenience food" instead of "junk food."

I think it's more honest, and less loaded. It's all food, some of it is more appropriate when you don't have the spoons left for food prep. It takes slightly more energy to peel a banana than to open a bag of chips.

We try to save the convenience food for days when we need something easy, so eat a banana.

ENNH! WRONG ANSWER

All food fuels your body. If it contains calories, it is fuel. Some foods are denser fuels, some foods have nice additional benefits, but all foods fuel you.

Some foods are really good for building muscle, or supporting your bone health, or giving you energy. Some foods are really good at tasting nice. All of them fuel your body.

Good food/bad food is just puritan dichotomous thinking in service of the Shame Industrial Complex- let's get those "should" hooks intob everything you enjoy.

Food is fuel. Your relationship with it is personal. Almost all dichotomies oversimplify beyond utility.

So, I had to do a bunch of therapy as a kid because I had anorexia. My dietician drilled into me "food has no moral value. there's no such thing as Good Food or Bad Food; if it's edible and you're not allergic to it, then it has a use in your diet, even if that use is just 'enjoy eating it'. Enjoyment is part of your diet and happiness is a vital nutrient." Basically, even if ice cream "isn't healthy," if it helps you feel better after a shitty day then it's fulfilling one of your basic needs: happiness. So eat the fucking ice cream and feel better. ENJOYMENT IS PART OF YOUR DIET AND HAPPINESS IS A NUTRIENT

You need calories. Hard stop. Your brain requires sugar (GLUCOSE) to function. Your body needs fats to process certain vitamins. Your body needs proteins because it can't make all the amino acids on its own. If you don't get the minimum calories, your body starts shutting things off and going into starvation mode, calorie deprivation is bad, period.

FOOD IS GOOD. FULL STOP.

i'm in burnout so hard i can barely care for myself. out of clean clothes so i gotta hit the washateria up the street but can barely sit upright in the bed due to exhaustion. idk what to do i'm worn out & afraid & don't have the luxury of time to rest rn

tryin to work up the energy to just go wash clothes this mornin. if i can get some clean clothes & towels i can shower (which i haven't fully done since sat night technically cause i almost passed out in the shower sun night) & maybe that will make me feel less wrung out

so hungry but tryin to ration the little food & money i currently have. so tired. so nervous. idk where to start

It’s been the kind of day that culminated in my telling someone moments ago that the date was the fifth of Wednesday.

I hope you all have a really good fifth of Wednesday. 

you fool

you just created another tumblr holiday

Bold of you to assume that was not my intent!

Fever is a hilarious immune response. Our bodies tell the disease “hey, wanna see which one of us dies of overheating first? No? Too bad.” and honestly they’re not even the winners a decent chunk of the time but it works often enough that we never evolved it away or anything. Fantastic work.
