This Is Like Seeing An Amazon Drone In Your Backyard But Half Of Its Components Are Missing And Your

I was talking with my housemate about how to be more physically active if you’re not used to it at all because everywhere you’re told to start a training routine where you push yourself a little every day, and while that may seem easy for some people it can be really fucking daunting if you start from zero.

As someone who comes from a very physically active family that doesn’t exercise just for the sake of exercising but do things like walk to the grocery store and bike to work, here’s my advice that has always worked for me:

Go super duper easy on yourself.

If you want to walk more start by walking for 3 or 5 minutes. The shortest possible walk you feel you’re capable of. A trip around the block or across the yard. You don’t need to sweat or get your blood pumping. Just a short stroll. The hardest part is to convince yourself to set aside 5 minutes every day to go on this short walk but nothing else about it should be hard. Do it every day and one day you’ll realize that you don’t want to go home just yet. It’s very important that you don’t think “I want to pressure myself to walk further” but rather “I haven’t spent all my walking energy yet. I have more walk in me” and only then do you lengthen the walk. I repeat, at no point should it be exhausting or difficult because even when it feels easy your body will be building muscle and stamina and it will eventually feel too easy and you’ll naturally want to crank it back up to easy again.

If you’re not used to being physically active it might not make a ton of sense when I say that you’ll have more walking energy left but trust me, you’ll get it when you get there.

I grew up with going on evening walks with my parents and passed that on to other housemates who didn’t get it at first but are now going on walks long after they moved somewhere else. Because once you get the hang of it you’ll realize how calming it is on the brain to move the body even if the body isn’t exhausted afterwards.

And it of course helps to entertain yourself especially in the beginning. My housemate started out listening to audiobooks and podcasts but eventually realized Pokémon Go was the best motivator. Whatever you feel like you want to do on your 5 minute easy stroll.

Too tired/low spoons to put an image ID but. I hate this specific kind of ableism I’ve had handed to me again and again (Edit: added and slightly edited an ID from the notes!)

[ID: A comic. Panel 1 dialogue, from a person holding up a piece of paper: "I'm here to get help with problem X, what should I do?"

Panel 2 dialogue, from a cheery second person, assumedly a tutor or other teaching figure: "Well, what do you think you should do?"

Panel 3: Person 1 stares at person 2 silentely, but their thoughts are written behind them in faint all caps: "Why the fuck would I be asking you for help if I hadn't already tried doing what I thought I should do, and even tried what I thought I shouldn't do!" the rest of the thought is covered by the people but continues to the bottom of the panel.

Panel 4: Sound effect "BAM!" Person 1 cartoonishly flattens Person 2 with a folding chair. /End ID]

me and who

Guy who transforms into a swarm of locusts when shaken vigorously: hey can you turn the music down it's resonating kind of hard and shaking the ground and I don't want to endanger anyone

DJ Loudmusic: SORRY I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THESE SICK JAMS! HERE'S MY NEXT SONG, "EPIC JUNGLE BEAT THAT GIVES LOCUSTS THE DESIRE TO KILL HUMAN BEINGS"

You are not That Bitch. Being That Bitch is the grind-killer. Being That Bitch is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face the pressure of The Bit. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where it has gone, there will be nothing. Only 💦💦Big Top💦💦(45) will remain.

Sweating chanting "You are not That Bitch you are just being rude to strangers on Grindr" in the bathroom mirror like a littany

bro stop doomscrolling you're scaring the hoes

quick reminder that its on sight with makima fans. you stay out of my house. i hate that smug bitch and i wont stand for her apologists.

Very random but I've been wanting to ask this for a while ! When I was a kid everybody's favourite planet was Saturn, but my favourite has since changed and I wonder if everybody else's has too.

My favourite planet is Mercury, for a variety of sentimental reasons (including the song "Mercury" by Sleeping At Last) :)

i've been considering adding a fifth humor into the body. Don't know what its gonna be yet, but it's going to revolutionize biology.

No more vague "I'm going to do evil experiments" larping. Tell me what fucked up experiments you ACTUALLY want to conduct on human test subjects

hey dont cry. one million dragons in the world, ok?
