Running and Marijuana: Is It the New Runner’s High?
Author’s note: Marijuana is legal for recreational purposes in Arizona, where I reside. Please check your local laws regarding medical or recreational use in your area. In the United States, the federal government still considers marijuana illegal. This article is not intended to give advice. Each person is unique, and this is my personal experience only. The use of marijuana is known to cause a high heart rate, anxiety, and impairment among other side effects for some users. As always, speak with a medical professional before starting any type of exercise program and regarding the use of marijuana.

Jim Sloan
By Brian D’Ambrosio At 90, Jim Sloan has lived several lifetimes’ worth of work—carpenter, sign painter, excavator, sawmiller, road-builder and the go-to rattlesnake remover of Galisteo, New Mexico. Art may be the through-line, but it has never been the source of his income, nor the center of his universe. Sloan has always kept one foot in the studio and the other in the soil, without bothering to decide which world he truly belongs to. The truth is that he fits cleanly into neither, and he has long since stopped trying.

Word of the Day: 推し
I am not putting any more time on my timer right now. I am just trying to get by here. There is almost no point to school because, like 35% of the time is technical difficulties and the rest of the time is things that actually aren't really useful.

I Was Almost Forgotten by Life, Until I Chose to Remember Myself
Story There was a time in my life when I felt invisible. Not the kind of invisible where people accidentally overlook you, but the kind where it feels like the world has already decided you don’t matter. I walked through my days quietly, carrying thoughts I never shared and dreams I didn’t dare to speak aloud.
