we're going to try again witha little but minimal casting

Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” that was written in 1950 is set on the day of August 4th, 2026 (tomorrow)!! Now’s your chance to read it around the time it’s based in!

!!!! Today is the only chance we’ll ever have to listen to this absolute banger of apocalyptic fiction on the very day the story is set 😲✨

something about anorexia is that it is basically an addiction. the addiction is to the sensation of "progress" about losing weight. and just like any addict, if you try to take away their drug of choice before they've truly accepted that they need help, theyre going to fight you about it. theyre going to say that you're trying to control their life, theyre going to paint you as critical and mean and theyre the victim who's just trying to live life their own way. thats exaclty what ariana has done with her new music video. her "critics" are stereotyped as a panel of ugly older men with exaggerated prosthetics: bulbous noses, wrinkly chins, neanderthal brows, all saying that she's inauthentic and that they liked the old version of her, or just outright insulting her. then she slaughters them all with a chainsaw. im serious.

I would actually go as far as to say that MOST abuse is unintentional. I think most people will go through their lives without ever experiencing intentional abuse. People are abusive because they're selfish, because they're stressed, because they care more about what society thinks they should do than the impacts of their actions on their children and partners, because they think what they're doing is correct, because they've made it make sense in their own heads, because they think they can fix their victims, they think they can fix their relationships, they think they can stop you from leaving, they think they can make you a better partner to them, they think that means you need to do what they want. We've sort of constructed mental illness in a way that doing this shit to other people counts as a form of mental illness because it is anti social behavior in the literal sense— it is behavior that causes social harm.

the “affirmations” the official shark week instagram posted are really funny. like yeah Mecore tbh

If I had a nickel everytime there was a female character from nation that is being destroyed/has been absolutely obliterated by The Evil Imperialist Nation of the show that was absolutely lambasted by the fandom for having a healthy amount of disdain towards members of said Evil Imperialist Nation, I would have at least 3 nickels which is 3 TOO MANY

Bc I know there are many people on this website dealing with chronic pain and disability, I will add some studies below the cut on backwards walking (retro walking) as well. It's been investigated for quite a few things including knee osteoarthritis, lower back pain/instability and also balance improvement for people with hearing impairments, to name a few

Movement nudge, hand mobility! 🙌

1) do this even if you're under 40. seriously. I definitely should have been doing something like this for years and I only turned 40 a month and a half ago
