I was offered a random day off due to an over staffing mistake and took it. I decided to have fun with the pets. I got all ready for work like I normally would and they did their usual job of trying to persuade me not to go and I made a dramatic show of letting them win. They’ve been on a happiness high for the past three hours.

do u ever just wish u could be an ancient oracle and your whole job was to do weed and tell stupid riddles to rich conquerors only for them to misinterpret your words and die

this is exactly what I imagine it’s like to be an in-house ethicist at a tech company

Thank you a lot for your meticulous work

Since weight-bearing exercise is an important protective factor against bone loss, particularly in older age, you won’t be surprised to learn that being fat (aka doing weight-bearing exercise all the damn time!) is also a protective factor against bone loss in older age. No extra exercise regimen required!

It is also worth noting that weight loss and weight cycling in older age also predict bone loss, so the bone health benefits of being fat are lost when people diet to lose weight. 

So add “bone loss and increased risk of fractures in old age” to the growing list of reasons why intentional weight loss and restrictive dieting are unhealthy, especially for older people.

Danielle Nierenberg, President of Food Tank, shares a sustainability pro-tip in honor of Earth Day. Instead of wasting leftover pasta water by pouring it down the sink, you can save it, let it cool and use it to water your plants. The starchy H2O will give them a beneficial nutrient boost and help them grow. Just be sure to avoid using cooking water that has been salted or seasoned.

This also applies to leftover water from boiling spinach, potatoes, and hardboiled eggs, according to Reader’s Digest.

this definitely is an amazing thing to plants, it gives them a boost like NOTHING that can be bought in stores. ive had an orange plant that didnt bloom for years and then gave them some pasta/potato water twice a week, and now its blooming like crazy , pretty much over night. and plants that were looking kind of drawn are looking BEAUTIFUL!
