Thinking about #vss365 on here, & how everyone starts with the same prompt word & the same number of characters to work with, & everyone comes up with completely different results.

The results are the accumulation of a life’s worth of experience, each one unique. That’s #writing.

You know that part of the song where Mary J. Blige bellows “I’m going DOWWWWWN, I’m going DOWNNNNNN”??? Yeah, that’s where I’m at this winter.
The forecast in Boston basically calls for snow every down between tomorrow and next Thursday.

I'm looking for a good website, in English, on nutrition for vegans. (I know a couple in Finnish, but those, too) Sensible one, no fat phobia, spammy ads or a right winger owned platform, please. Will be happy to share your posts or something in return for any hints. Thanks.
