breaking normal posting to say: merry christmas to those who celebrate. i make a point of keeping this blog fandom focused, but i am palestinian. from a place not far from bethlehem; where jesus was born and where this holiday began. but today, bethlehem is under military occupation. today, on christmas, bethlehem was bombed.

if you enjoy my jokes and posts, or if christmas means something special to you, i humbly ask you consider including bethlehem in your holiday giving. ANERA provides necessity like food and mattresses to palestinian refugees. PRCS provides critical medical care. CFG is a gaza-based grassroot collective which gives necessities to the community. thank you.

coming for you

Teaching the baby ADVANCED TECHNIQUES

This is what it's like when a new player gets invaded in dark souls

the impact "bnuuy" had

For everyone’s currently infected by the “The Game” post making the rounds.

On April 5th 2063, within minutes of the Vulcan ambassadors’ arrival to Earth, the Wikipedia page for The Fermi Paradox was edited to include the words “was”, not “is”.

Given how fast wikipedia updates I can see that happening. Maybe. Assuming that one of the potential Very Fast Updaters of the future lives in a place with reliable enough internet access post WW3.

There’s a heated argument in the discussion section between people who haven’t heard yet.

The page gets rolled back and then updates again by a guy who’s been waiting for their signal strength to increase and actually got to the page first.

Someone asks if these ‘Vulcans’ are really aliens or just cosplayers, starting a whole new discussion argument.

Meanwhile, on Vulcan, some poor sod has to update their wikipedia-equivalents page on humans, and wonders how to possibly phrase ’S'chn T'gai Solkar kissed the first human to travel at warp’ without it sounding illogical.

Hordes of scandalised Vulcans: delete this

Happy first contact day 🖖🏻

I think it’s more likely that the editor would specify the image as “S'chn T'gai Solkar reciprocated the traditional human greeting of a handshake” and the logical vulcans would understand the logic

“What does this word mean, hand “shake”? They are rapidly moving their appendages back and forth in order to represent the potential energy generated when two species join together? A symbolic representation of–”

I know writers like this, but fanartists, genuine question:

Asking this genuinely because some times I DO want to leave nice comments about art I found pretty, but usually don't since I've found it's not really the culture around fanart as opposed to fanfics.

Please reblog because it's been bothering me.

before and after ❄️ pixel art remake

seeing a lot of videos that are like “I didn’t know babies couldn’t have water” so here’s an incomplete list of things you need to know before having a baby

Adding a couple:

- The person who gave birth to the baby will have a massive mood swing crash three days later. Prepare for sobbing and/or panic attacks. It'll pass.

- about five weeks in, the baby will start acting constipated. It isn't constipated. It just got conscious control of its pooping muscles and it has to figure them out.

- carriers are wonderful. I liked ring slings and cloth wraps, but the buckle ones are great too. My babies all liked to ride on my back and watch me cook.

- breastfeeding can, very occasionally, induce a weird orgasm-like thing, because of the oxytocin. That only happened to me once but it freaked me out good and proper.

- six month old babies can have some normal foods, not just purees. Juicy things, like cantaloupe and oranges and steak, should be cut into biggish pieces for them to gum and suck dry. Cut off the top of a banana peel and they can hold it and nom on the exposed banana. Cooked broccoli is good too. So is scrambled eggs. Look up "baby led weaning" if you want to know more.

- babies can't have much salt until they're two I think? That one takes even longer than the honey thing.

- Banana shows up in poop looking like little black worms. Blueberries will dye poop red. Neither of these means your baby is dying, which tends to be your first response when you see alarming poops.

Blueberry poop stains.

We have a cloth diaper that has a purple spot from FOUR YEARS AGO. This diaper has seen two children and the stain is still there.

hey to anyone who sees this I’m consistently updating this with stuff as I remember it or think about it so if u see this check my blog under the ‼️‼️‼️ tag to use the updated version if you’d prefer <3

#this is all true#also i cant stress this enough nobody should be kissing your newborn#one hot trick for burping is tickle their backs#makes them wiggle and gets the gas moving#i have a handy chart of how much water in oz babies can have by month#if theyre not sleeping try stroking their nose or petting their forehead or eyelids softly#they forget. to close their eyes. do that and they pass out usually#and also they can have peanut butter pls it is a myth. if you dont introduce it#theyre actually at a HIGHER risk of allergies#and finally i promise nothing is wrong with you if you think oh my god i want to yeet this thing out the window#baby crying activates flight or fight basically just pass them off to someone else and go get a snack

It's so strange how we all have to just learn how to be alive and during that time we are dependent on the kindness of everyone else.

OK Tumblr Geriatric Ward, let’s talk about your posture-

there are things you should be doing now to prevent yourself from starting to look like 🥀

Why does it matter? Future you would like to avoid the pain, limited motion, and fall risk that goes along with worsening posture.

What’s the focus?

1. Keep the flexibility in your spine

2. Stretch the muscles in the front

3. Strengthen the muscle in the back

Here are some simple things you can do daily while sitting and when you get up to go into the bathroom or the kitchen

Keep the flexibility by doing these repeated movements: 10 repetitions several times a day

The goal is to give yourself a double or triple chin. Keep your nose pointing forward, don’t let it tip up or down

Thoracic extension- use a chair with a seat back that comes up to the level of your shoulder blades. Try to bend back over the top of the chair without arching away from the seat back and without extending your neck. If the pressure from the top of the chair is uncomfortable you can place a towel there

Stretch the muscles in the front by using a door frame. This one will feel good afterwards

If this isn’t enough of a stretch you can do one side at a time. If you have the right arm up step forward with the right foot and turn slightly to the left. Then do it on the other side.

Strengthen the muscles in the back by squeezing your shoulder blades together for a count of 10 and then repeating 10 times. You can do this several times a day Hint: Don’t lift your shoulder blades up

There are lots more exercises for strengthening your back muscles but this is a good starting point and easy to do. I like doing it while driving

NOTE: I can do most of these with the cerebral palsy. In fact, a lot of these little exercises are automatically part of my physical therapy. My problem is I already have hyperlordosis, spine arthritis, and cervicogenic headache. These have helped me at least try to have a posture.

I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW GOOD THIS ADVICE IS
