On today’s episode, Ginger introduces Ren to a man of morals, a man of faith, a man who said that feminists and gays caused 9/11.
Jerry Falwell Sr., the man behind the Moral Majority and Liberty University, left an indelible mark on American society, like a particularly nasty case of shingles, if the shingles were also incredibly racist. Featuring tequila cocktails, the Teletubbies, Ginger’s high school hijinks, and an ever-growing list of side characters.
Self Care Plan
We wanted to go heart healthy, but it was all about measuring your weight and doing yoga, so we opted to go with annoyingly sincere.
- Schedule days off to recharge. Taking a break can actually improve the quality of your work later on. Also, you deserve it.
- Get plenty of sleep. Avoid setting an alarm unless you absolutely have to. Proper sleep is important for both physical and mental health. Also, you deserve it.
- Try tackling simple tasks first. Sometimes the hardest part is getting started and making an early dent can help with that. Accomplish things on your terms, because you deserve it.
