¿Will It Shall Never Have Been *I*, For All of Forevermore?

i know i've said this before but i'm going to say it again because the more i work with geriatric women the stronger i feel about the fact that the only anti-aging that women in their 20s/30s should be obsessed with is building strong bones and muscle mass. that's like the most important thing you can you can do right now to lay a good foundation for healthy aging. you can botox the shit out of your face but that's not going to do anything to save you from dying prematurely from a fatal hip fracture that you can't bounce back from because you didn't do anything to prevent yourself from becoming frail and breakable. like i know that sounds harsh but that is reality for a lot of older women and i don't want that to be you.

Also, strengthen your back (especially your lower back) and your knees to prevent chronic pain from muscle weakness in those areas, and regularly practice getting up off the floor from a lying position.

Someone told me once that the biggest predictor for healthy aging (absent other internal factors, like cancer or heart disease) was the ability to get up without using your hands. Ever since I've practiced to the point that I can get from full prone on the floor to standing without having to push myself up off the floor, and I make sure to do it several times a day. It's amazing how much more confident I feel about my body and what I can do with it when I have that baseline to fall back on.

FOR THE RUZADE

this disability pride i wanna keep in mind the disabled people who are in a difficult situation because of their disability. people who were made homeless because of their disability, people who are stuck in abusive homes and can't get out because of their disability. people whose disability was used against them to facilitate abuse, like taking away their autonomy - medical, legal, or otherwise - taking charge of their finances, taking advantage of their vulnerabilities. it's reasonable to think that a lot of disabled people, especially disabled people in difficult circumstances such of these, would struggle to connect with the idea of disability pride. but pride or otherwise, this month should also be disability solidarity month. this month and every month is for all disabled people in all sorts of circumstances

ok but ego renegade boy is soooo important because so many people guilt tboys over the "loss" of a beautiful daughter and femininity etc etc. ive seen a lot of ppl say like "u were such a pretty girl tho" and "grieve" a living man and this song takes that rhetoric of "you killed my daughter" and it flips it and goes "ok So What? Its My Life." and i think so many of us needed to hear that. its so important we see art and representation like this it feels empowering bc like Yeah she's gone and now I'm here. I'm alive and u can't make me live a lie. truthfully i dont even know many songs about being a trans boy and seeing one with one of my all time favorite characters thats so steeped in confidence and pride makes me so happy. ive experienced feeling like im "taking my parents daughter away" even tho im not even out and this song literally flips that fully around from guilt into something you should be proud of, you survived and the real you is alive now. flavor foley u genius
