women should lift weights because it prevents osteoporosis in old age and makes you a more capable person in everyday life please shut up about butts and waists and hourglasses i'm going to fucking kill
;___;♡♡♡♡
genuine question from someone who would rather chew their arm off than go to a public gym, and also doesnt have a lot of money: how do you safely get into strength training? are there youtube channels, apps (android), etc anyone recommends that makes it approachable and don't lean into diet culture / body shaming?
also the biggest thing that keeps me from working out is that I already have joint and spinal issues and moving the wrong way can fuck up a knee or a shoulder or my spine for days. I really don't want to injure myself, and have unwittingly done so before. resources that are extremely clear on exactly how to move and offer gentler / alternative ways to move for people with limited range are vital.
Okay, so this may not technically be strength training, but muscles are dumber than bricks and cannot tell the difference between your own bodyweight and actual weights.
So, may I recommend:
He runs a YouTube channel where he goes over how to work your way up to more complex exercises (for instance, his pull-ups videos start with using a door jamb and moving your weight back and forth) so it's good for easing yourself into things.
You also don't have to fork out for expensive weights and such if you don't want to/can't. Substitute with stuff you either already have at home or can get from the supermarket and build up the weight you can exercise with. 500 gram cans of butter beans then 750 gram bottles of pasta sauce. 1 litre drink bottle then your 1.5 litre milk bottle. 3 litre bulk-buy bottle of laundry detergent. Etc. One of my dogs weighs 13 kilos and I pick her up on the regular (to her delight). One weighs 16 kg and I pick him up too (to his consternation and mild disapproval). You don't have to fit out some fancy home gym before you can start strength training.
I second Hybrid Calisthenics, that's the program I use. It's run by one guy who's taken it upon himself to make exercising more accessible and it's completely free! Each exercise has different variations based on your ability and each variation is further divided into different levels of difficulty so you can work up to where you want to be. If you can't do a single push up for example then this program will help you work up to the point where you can, and if you're a master of push ups then there are more advanced body weight exercises you can tackle so you can keep moving forward in your training without stagnating. The routine offers a full body workout with absolutely no equipment required for the beginning levels. The only reason you would need to buy anything is if you want to work up to a full pull up, at which point you would need actual pull up rings
Here's his actual website which I feel is easier to navigate than the YouTube channel on its own and organizes things in a way that's easy to understand. He explains everything you need to know about the routine and each individual exercise has both a text description and a video tutorial
Also want to recommend Diamond Dallas Page's program specially designed for people with limited mobility. You do have to pay, something like $45 for the whole thing, but it is for people who are literally bedbound so they can eventually sit up on their own and stand up.
Mad because you don't have bird vision?

We all love urban fantasy but we have to contend with the fact that if monsters were real, some of them would be normies. Your werewolf boyfriend posts on LinkedIn. The tentacled horror you've been thirsting after is a Disney adult.
You did it, you made unimaginable horror within man-made comprehension.
Tumblr is unique bc like. It's collaborative shitposting and you can't opt in or out. You can just say something about your day then an evil wizard shows up to turn your post into something humorous
Every other site is just one and done, but here a post is a welcome mat to be funnier than you
yeah or sometimes you’ll see a post that hacks into your brain and forever rewrites your instinctual reaction to seeing a pineapple explode

As a Genshin fan, can I ask on your elaboration on why Fate is worse with whitewashing? From what I've seen Fate whitewashes characters but will also notably have dark-skinned ones too like Sheba or Ozymandias. In Genshin the ENTIRE region based on Egypt/India, Sumeru, is almost entirely white. Only a VERY small handful are remotely dark-skinned most of which come from the Eremite enemy type (and even then there's outliers). The god of Sumeru as well-written as she is is as pale as snow, and only three characters from their have anything resembling dark skin but are still pale enough that characters who are explicitly just tanned (Xinyan, Kaeya) still look darker.
Fate is far more offensive, because unlike Genshin, it whitewashes historical, religious and mythological characters. I could write down a list of religious personalities in Fate that have been whitewashed. I mean, every single mesopotamian god introduced in fate are white-washed. We can also talk about the blatant colorism in Fate, which is a whole nother can of bad.
The difference in how Genshin presents its issues is that while Genshin has a difficulty in actually making diverse characters, they're not exactly "whitewashed", since they were all original characters to begin with. While that doesn't make it right by any means -- considering what kind of culture and tradition they're supposed to represent -- at least Genshin doesn't whitewash real life characters.
Anyways google Fate Tezcatlipoca
Large and Random (?) Drug Shortages! There is apparently an FDA site you can search:
Been hearing about this a little bit for a few weeks, has previously only heard of it related to ADHD and Pain meds. Apparently it's more than that?
When you search for yours, check the specifics. I checked one of mine and it says discontinued but it's at a lower dose and seems to only be from one pharmaceutical company. I haven't heard anything about it being discontinued as a whole and I think I would have...
I checked another that's on that list and I get nothing back of it being in a shortage. So, you know, it's the FDA. They're only semi-helpful...
somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.
and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.
I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me
cat riding sheep
lookin at the first few moments thinkin “what’s wrong with that foreleg? is it folded under the cat at a funny angle? is the cat missing half that leg? wait. no. it’s just buried up to the elbow in wool”
Fun fact. Lanolin, the oil in wool which makes it water resistant, has a scent similar to one produced by nursing mother cats which induces nursing behaviour in kittens. A lot of cats will exhibit this behaviour with wool blankets for the same reason.
The adorable behavior she is showing at the end, deep treading and pressing the flat.of her head against the sheep, rooting her nose around in the sheep’s wool, ears turned sweetly back, is STRONG kitten nursing behavior. This cat is a full adult and doing unusually Baby things. I’d say that checks out. She’s treating the sheep like Mom. Adults, even those with residual nursing behaviors, don’t often go THIS baby. I wouldn’t be surprised if the cat were actually suckling. She’s incredibly happy.
The sheep seems to be very much enjoying it as well. I loooove this.

Aita for telling my ex boyfriend I don’t miss him?
Tw for talk of sexual activity, emotional neglect
For context, I (19f) broke up with my boyfriend (18m) three months ago. We were going strong for a day short of nine months, but he was going to meet my family and my anxiety got in the way so I panicked and self sabotaged the best relationship I ever had. I know now I was a coward and I hurt him deeply, we’d even planned on attending the same university and starting a bookstore together
He really was the best thing to ever happen to me. He was unconditionally supportive of me when I deal with my emotionally manipulative home life, always told me how pretty I am, got me gifts and would binge my favorite shows so I could infodump to him. He’d been seriously neglected and borderline abused by his toxic ex boyfriend (an ex-mutual friend) but he always went above and beyond to make sure he wasn’t projecting onto me and our relationship. I was head over heels
But I broke up with him the day before our nine-month milestone because I was so sure that he would break my heart and leave me just like everyone else in my life had (and a week before we were to fly cross-country to meet my parents. I went alone.) And he told me in the many conversations we’ve had since then that it ruined his self-esteem and made him question his own self worth if he couldn’t even convince me that he was worth keeping around
And he said that he had planned to ask me to marry him when we got out of university in a couple years. He was so devastated over the phone, but I stuck with my decision to not date anyone during college. I needed to focus on myself and my own mental health… which I haven’t been good about doing (looking at my various online dating profiles)
While we were together, all of my friends were in their horny college phases and hooking up with anything that moved and they’d leave me out of friend activities because I was with my boyfriend. It made me feel alone and isolated and I’d cry to my boyfriend about it and only realize later how awful it was to complain to my significant other about how badly I wanted to be single. Yet, he never complained. I was awful to him
We’ve recently become friends again and we’ve started having casual sex. He has an almost unnaturally low libido compared to my super high one so when he calls me, I’m always at his front door. He’s always so sweet and caring, even after we’ve broken up, and he always checks in on me in the following days to make sure I’m okay. He’s undoubtedly my best friend and my romantic feelings for him have all pretty much died
Last night I spent the night at his place. As we were drifting off, I heard him mumble that he misses me and wrote it off as his sleepy pillow talk. We’d talked in length about never getting back together because of how I hurt him and I agreed it was for the best. This morning, he asked me if hed said anything strange and I didn’t bring it up until he kept nagging me and I told him what he’d said.
He started apologizing profusely and I said I wasn’t upset, because I’m not. I asked him if he meant it and he said he didn’t know. I said it’s fine, he can keep the answer to himself when he figured it out, I didn’t miss him. I ate the breakfast he made and left for work
Now I’m sitting at work and feeling really bad about it. I want to still be his friend and still sleep with him for as long as he’ll have me, but I also feel like I shut him down and hurt him again. I don’t know if my decision to put my foot down was the right one
So, tumblr, AITA?

Throwaway blog because I can't fucking believe this
Hi I'm the ex boyfriend. OP told me she sent an ask to this blog and I can't believe she posted this much about us and I'm kinda embarrassed that the internet now knows this much about me, but oh well, nothing I haven't ranted to my discord server about lmao
Everything she's said is true, about how I planned to marry her and planned to transfer to her uni and how she broke up with me the day before our nine months anniversary
But there are a lot of details that are left out. She broke up with me over a phone call as I was leaving a work meeting (one i was leaving early because she had texted me that she needed to talk), it was her idea to start being fbw and how two weeks after she left me, she texted me asking for advice on a tinder date that she was going on and was eventually stood up (lmao)
And yeah, I was devastated. I loved her and she loved me back, but she was too scared to power through her own insecurities despite me being right there to help her. My mental health spiraled and I had to go back to therapy, which felt like a walk of shame because of how I'd sworn that I wouldn't go back after how my ex-bf would use me for sex and a shoulder to cry about his issues on and I was so sure that I was healthy enough to get back into another serious relationship
And yeah, OP and I are still friends. She's not my best friend by any means, but we still hang out together and we're fwb, but I've been trying to cut myself off from that. I don't remember ever saying I missed her, but I believe I could've mumbled it as I was drifting off. The way she told me about it wasn't harsh and I agree with a lot of the comment telling me to get out. I'm trying. She's deffo gonna see this throwaway and yk what?
OP, I really think you need to go to therapy. You know more about me than anyone else in the world and I like to think it's the same the other way, but I haven't felt romantic feelings for you since the first conversation we've had post-breakup. I'm sad I didn't get to go to indianapolis with you to meet your parents, but my trip I took with my mom to six flags was way better
I hope one day OP can love herself as much as I loved her. She may not be sticking to her no-dating rule, but it's gonna take me a while to get back on my feet. I'm young, I'm still a bit naive, I'm gonna live my life. Sorry OP didn't want to be part of it
by the way, it’s real bold of hollywood to be like “the writers and actors have unrealistic expectations, but WE know what we’re doing” when they got tricked into releasing morbius in theaters a second time.
Is her name supposed to be a play on words of the medication seroquel? Or am I just too mentally spicy and seeing connections that aren’t there?
