Happy new year, friends. I know it’s just that time of year, but is it me, or has the Diet Industry REALLY turned up the heat on the new-year-grind-for-your-crash-diet crap this time around? They’re out there workin’ hard to sell us the next detox, superfood and 6-weeks to a 6-pack (riiight) program. So, in honour

Going at this shit alone is hard. If the last couple of years has taught us nothing else, it’s that we need each other, we need our humans around, to really thrive.
