"Our thanks are due to God for the blessings we enjoy, and for the many dangers from which we have been delivered; and let us not forget to pray for the continuance of His mercy, and for the protection of His divine Providence over us." - John Carver, 1621

Haven for lefties fleeing X. Decentralized in name only. Replete with censorship. Jack was involved early on but no longer.
Basic explanation is that they are industrial products high in oleic acid / omega-6 fatty acids and therefore highly inflammatory. Inflammation in the body is the root cause of all manner of autoimmune and metabolic issues. Then there are risks of oxidation and rancidity which lead to lots of health issues like cardiovascular problems.
On an environmental level, the monocropping involved in production and the processing of thr oils destroys ecosystems and pollutes water systems.
Hm, link not working. Tried it on multiple browsers and devices.
What are some of your go-to sources for health and fitness info, nostr:nprofile1qqsr26r4lltjnvrwadxp67ns58m4qpzaqemhf5sup7hlujhjh7t296qpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzvuq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46qz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcvda4qy?
I tend to have similar thoughts when I see the word "gourmet" included in food marketing and advertising.
Have you read Father Hunger by Doug Wilson? It not I recommend it.
Why it it take me so long to jump on the Zapstore bandwagon? Just downloaded and it is great ✌
Sometimes you will see things like *up to 80% off" but it might be one item and everything else is 15% off, or the 80% is only available if you also sign up for a credit card or something.
Another thing I have seen is raised prices on items some weeks or months prior and then the "sale" price is what it normally was before the mark up.
Mochi planners are nice.

Unless she is already married, that's probably the courteous thing to do.
Consider finding photography communities and entering your work into contests. Even if you don't think your stuff is *good enough* it gets you familiar with the process and motivates you to keep improving.
You can try selling some of your work through stock sites and/or make limited high quality prints that you can try selling through various channels—art fairs, Nostr, etc.
Find other successful nature photographers and see if there is anything you can glean from them as far as how they monitize their work.
This is all stuff you can do for street photography as well.
I have more experience with portraits. Much easier to monetize. You can offer senior photos, family photos, or professional headshots to people in your network first and expand out from there. A lot of my early business was just word of mouth and people knowing I am a photographer.
The portraiture options I listed above are all a bit different and come with their own challenges (family photos in particular are tricky when there are young children and pets included) so it is wise to tackle one and get good at it before expanding.
Something important to cultivate with portraiture too is interpersonal skills in the form of calm direction of models, good bedside manner, and being courteous of people's time, insecurities, intentions for the photos, etc.
One last note. An idea a friend of mine implemented was to let people know that he is available on certain days at certain times in a fixed location for headshots. If someone in his network would like one they can book 20-30 minutes. Good way to keep the variables fixed and have people *come to you* so to speak.
Hope this is helpful! You're welcome to DM me if you want to chat further.
