The most beautiful footage of strangers dancing in public… https://twitter.com/Thorayaaa/status/1660180658646568967
its like a real life version of that children’s song with the magic bridge that you had to dance across
Highlights: --all the old people --one dude who starts doing the Cotton-Eye Joe and has the steps on lock --quinceañera girl with a dress bigger than the circle --lots of kids but particularly the dude who's doing the helicopter with his little girl --an entire section of Millennials doing dance moves I recognize, oh the nostalgia
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

thanks @bmoharrisbankofficial but unfortunately i can’t focus on the very important message here because i’m too busy being confused by the fact that apparently if you send an ask with only one letter tumblr will bold that letter in the “asked you” notification text?? why the fuck would that be the case
fascinating

Hello there! Could we have a cursed fact about turkey vultures? Thanks,
you’ve probably heard that most vultures have bald heads so they don’t get all yuck while going about their daily business.
(their daily business is sticking their entire head into rotting carcasses)
and this is true, but maybe you didn’t know that turkey vultures in particular have a moveable neck ruff!
so when it gets cold, they can just-
zip it up.
comfy cozy!
And it isn’t JUST turkey vultures. This is a shared skill among every new world vulture.
Ah, what a nice warm day.
Whoops! A cool breeze! Time to zip up my hoodie!
Just a vulture being a vulture.
Uh oh! Turtleneck time!
When you’re meeting the boys for dinner at 6 but have a fashion walk at 7.
Rarest turtleneck in the continent.
And yes, they absolutely do deploy the turtleneck in colder weather just like humans might. Some species are more often seen with it deployed and the opposite is true for others.
Oh this makes much more sense. I’m not sure why, but somewhere along the line I became convinced that it had to do with reaching maturity, like how bald eagles don’t get their white head and tail until they’re about five years old.
But this. That’s what I look like on a cold, wet winter day, too.
If they feel a single rained drop they pull their turtleneck up. They hate rain on their bare little head and necks. They crave umbrellas.
You aren’t wrong to associate it with age though. Juvenile vultures tend to have the turtleneck deployed almost always. Andean condors also get a larger caruncle and more prominent flaps of skin when the turtleneck is not activated as they age, so it is more emphasized when adults are going bare necked
here's a landscape tutorial!
i focused on natural environments for this one, if you find it helpful I'll be back with how I learned to draw buildings.
let me know if it helps! and have fun drawing ✨
loving this tutorial!
These wonderful people have a single braincell to share but unfortunately none of them are using it
This is going to sound *insane* and I’m so sorry, but are you the blog that made the post about the ecological impact of the megalodon?? I’ve been looking for that post *forever*
haha yeah that was me! sounds like you're looking for this
actually I was curious so I looked further into it and he's not okay and he's gone now
???? He's fine. He even uploaded another video explaining this one. bob.reese on tiktok
he's not fine he's gone
My brother's girlfriend had HPV, so he went to get himself the HPV vaccine. There is a fee to pay (nothing much, something like €87) but it's completely free if you're in one of the "at risk" groups.
"What does that mean," he asks. "It's free if you're gay," he's told. "Ah. Would I have to like, prove it, or...?" "Just put in a check mark here."
My brother is in no way, shape or form attracted to men, but also he's stingy as it gets. So now he's officially gay. Congrats bro.
"Doctor, give it to me straight" "You sure, there's a fee" "… Give it to me gay"
AGAB (Assigned Gay At Billing)
Fascinated by the fact that his first question was about if he'd have to prove it. I wanna know how far that man would go to save less than a dollar
Sorry, do you think 87 euros is less than a dollar
