These exercises help you to save time, but still benefit from muscle mass. By performing combination exercises you are safely building mass in half the time of a normal workout. Combination exercises are also beneficial for increasing intensity and burning body fat through post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC).

[id. A twitter post by @/Bennieeexyz Jury duty letter came addressed to my cat. Not a mistake. "Felix Martinez" - that's his full name according to his vet records. My last name. His first name. Somehow he's a registered voter now. Called the county clerk. Me: My cat got summoned for jury duty. Clerk: Is the name correct on the summons? Me: Yes, but he's a cat. Clerk: Is Felix Martinez a legal resident of this county? Me: He's a legal cat. Clerk: Sir, if the name matches our records, he needs to appear or file an exemption. Me: He can't file anything. He has paws. Clerk: You can file on his behalf. Me: Under what exemption? There's no box for "is a cat." Clerk: (pause) Check "unable to serve due to medical reasons." Me: What's the medical reason? Clerk: He's a cat. Me: That's not a medical condition. Clerk: It is if it prevents him from serving. Sent in the form. Got rejected two weeks later. "Insufficient documentation. Please provide medical professional's statement." Took the letter to my vet. Me: I need you to write that my cat can't do jury duty. Vet: Why is your cat summoned for jury duty? Me: Excellent question. No good answer. Vet: This is the weirdest request I've gotten. Me: Can you just write that he's medically unfit to serve? Vet: On what grounds? Me: He's a cat. Vet: (started typing) "Patient is unable to serve due to species-related limitations including inability to speak, read, or comprehend legal proceedings." Me: Perfect. Sent it in. Got another rejection. "Summons is mandatory. Failure to appear will result in contempt of court." My roommate thought this was hilarious. Roommate: Felix is going to jail. Me: This is serious. Roommate: Bring him to court. See what happens. Decided that was actually the only option left. Day of jury duty, put Felix in his carrier. Brought the entire paper trail of rejection letters. Checked in at the courthouse. Clerk: Name? Me: Felix Martinez. Clerk: (looked at the cat carrier) Is that Felix? Me: Yes. Clerk: (long stare) He's a cat. Me: I've been saying that for six weeks. Clerk: Why didn't you file an exemption? Me: I filed three. All rejected. Showed her the letters. She read through them, expression shifting from confusion to disbelief. Clerk: Someone rejected the veterinary documentation? Me: Twice. Clerk: (called her supervisor over) You need to see this. Supervisor read everything. Looked at Felix. Looked at me. Supervisor: How did a cat get registered to vote? Me: You tell me. Supervisor: This is a data error. Me: Took you six weeks to figure that out. They dismissed Felix immediately. Apologized for the inconvenience. Supervisor: We'll remove him from the voter registry. Me: Appreciate it. Supervisor: (pause) Out of curiosity, how would he have voted? Me: Probably whatever party supports universal treats. Got a formal apology letter a week later and a voter registration card. For me this time. Apparently I wasn't registered, but my cat was. Roommate: Felix committed voter fraud. Me: Felix committed nothing. He's innocent. Roommate: That's what they all say. Felix is sleeping on the jury summons now. Fitting end to his legal career. end id]

What it looks like to me is that these churns of outrage aren't actually about anything that these creators say or do, so much as they are a kind of reflexive action in response to literally any kind of friction. Like an angry infected rash flaring up with pain when it is brushed by a feather.
The show you like is telling a slightly different story than what you want? Friction is the same as pain so it is hurting me, AAAA!!! Your expectation of what was going to happen to that character you liked didn't pan out? Friction! Friction hurts! You're hurting me!!
But where the Disney Corporation can run a fucking angle grinder across the rash and barely provoke an "ow," indie creators (especially if they are not men), can get nearly run off the internet for things like factually answering a direct question or stating that the story they are writing has main characters.
There's a lot of misogyny in that, obviously, and in many awful flavors, but I think there's also mixed in there a very peculiar kind of consumer-brained entitlement. We expect that the big corporations will fuck us over every two seconds, and we expect to be utterly powerless to do anything about it because all they give a shit about is Line Go Up, but indie creators (especially if they are not men) are expected to be the balm to that infected rash. Where everything else in the world is painful and mean and uncomfortable, independent queer creators are expected to produce the comfortable swaddling bandage that dulls the pain and soothes the sensitivity. This is supposed to be our happy place, our safe place. It's supposed to be ours and belong to us and serve us.
And so they moment they produce friction, any friction, literally the tiniest amount of friction imaginable, well that's a failure! You are failing to live up to your purpose, and that's not just a creative failure but a moral and personal and spiritual failure too. It's a sin, in fact, it is a kind of evil. Friction hurts, and that means you are hurting me!
It creates this fucked up upside-down bizarro logic wherein the corpos and the companies can transgress to almost literally any degree, as much as they want, as often as they want, but queer independent creators (and I cannot stress this enough: especially if they are not men) have to walk tightrope on a razor wire and may God help their souls if they ever put a foot wrong. We will shake and shake and shake the towers until they each fall down; I didn't like that step I think you were taking, how dare you believe you deserve to be up there!
āThis is who I can reach, so this is who I will hurtā has caused more damage to vulnerable than the most dogshit story imaginable.

ā”ļø Content warnings on fiction are a courtesy.Ā
ā”ļø Not every medium of fiction and storytelling has or is expected to have content warnings or extensive tagging.
ā”ļø Print novels do not traditionally warn for content in any way.
ā”ļø Until AO3 came along, fanfiction did not traditionally warn for content in any significant way.
ā”ļø An author is only obligated to warn for content to the degree mandated by the format they publish their fiction on.
ā”ļø Content warnings beyond the minimum are a courtesy, not an obligation.
ā”ļø 'Creator chose not to warn' is a valid tag that authors are allowed to use on AO3. It means there could be anything in there and you have accepted the risk. 'May contain peanuts!'
ā”ļø Writers are allowed to use 'Creator chose not to warn' for any reason, including to maintain surprise and avoid spoilers.
ā”ļø 'Creator chose not to warn' is not the same thing as 'no archive warnings apply'.
ā”ļø It is your responsibility to protect yourself and close a book, or hit the back button if you find something in fiction that you're reading that upsets you.
ā”ļø You are responsible for protecting yourself from fiction that causes you discomfort.
you would think, like, "oh, we've already thought of all the metaphorical ways we can say penis/vagina. we've already come up with the full list of nicknames. we have exhausted the list of innuendos. there is nothing else new to be said about this" and then you'll open a random explicit fic and make the most improbable linguistic discovery of all time

nigel farage resigning to try and delay the investigation into him and immediately restanding for election in the same constituency, only for every single major party to say 'yeah nah have fun pal, see you back at work for the investigation' and refusing to entertain him is hilarious enough on its own.
the fact that the only person running against him is fucking count binface, who is promising to build one (1) affordable house, is hysterical. and he has a not zero chance of winning.
Can someone please explain Count Binface to me like Iām five years old
Count Binface is a long-running joke candidate whose policy platform includes things like a cap on the price of croissants and relocating the hand dryer in one specific pub bathroom. The whole point is to make politicians look ridiculous by having them on stage next to a guy with a bin on his head, which thanks to the way British politics is organised is fairly easy to do. Imagine for example if American Presidential debates featured D, R, and Gritty.
Nigel Farage is a long-running far-right candidate whoās come to wield a surprising amount of influence thanks to the long-running incompetence of both major British right-wing parties, Labour and the Conservatives (Tories). People will tell you that Labour is centre-left but that hasnāt been true since at least 1994 and *definitely* isnāt true since 2024. Farage is also a scumbag of the first order, the sort of man who you might want to send donations under the table if you were for example Russia, or a convicted fraudster. He recently got caught holding Ā£5 million in dirty money, triggering an investigation into him.
To dodge this investigation, Farage decided to resign from parliament, because apparently you canāt investigate someone for political corruption if theyāre not a politician right this moment, and run for MP in the exact same electorate he just resigned from, in a transparent attempt to avoid scrutiny. This is equivalent to hiding from the cops, getting a haircut, going back onto the streets and still calling yourself the same name.
The other political parties said ālol have fun with thatā, declining to run candidates against him so that Farage would win by default, which would result in his reentry into politics and the resumption of the investigation, after which he would be booted back out of politics and Clacton would have a real election with actual candidates.
Enter, stage left: Count Binface, who is here to poke fun at the whole political circus and has in this instance found in Farage a clown eminently worthy of being poked. So Farage gets to spend the next six weeks debating politics with a man named Count Binface, and becoming a joke by association. Given a month ago Iād have said Farage was absolutely going to win the next national elections in the UK, dragging the country even further into far-right immiseration and cruelty like a weedy upper-class Donald Trump, this is absolutely delicious.

I really wonder what the demographic outcome would be of trans people involuntarily getting "the body you'd have if practicality wasn't a concern" like what percentage of the resulting bodies would be obviously nonhuman?

It occurred to me today that you can use Miyazaki films as a really quick way to explain the difference between urban/modern fantasy and magical realism.
Kikiās Delivery Service: takes place in the regular worldā albeit at some nebulous point in timeā but also magic is real and witches are a thing. Witches exist in this world because itās fun and we like them. Itās fantasy elements in a familiar settingā essentially urban or modern fantasy.
Porco Rosso: takes place in an extremely specific place and time and contains exactly one fantastical elementā Marcoās pig headā which is never given an explanation and is never questioned as a biological impossibility. Itās clearly a metaphor and commentary on a real world issue but itās also very much literal. This dude 100% has a pig head. No other mentions of magic are made. This is magical realism.
This story brought to you by the fact that Iāve never seen a fanfic on ao3 tagged magical realism that wasnāt actually modern fantasy.
Being in a writing mood when life is in the way has me feeling like Juliet on the balcony. "Free time, free time, wherefore art thou free time?" Type of nonsense.
Thatās a mood. I woke up with a story idea fully formed in my head yesterday morning and instead of writing it I had to go to work.

Thoughts and prayers to my European mutuals suffering under their omega heat
do NOT google "omega heat"
prayers for the people googling "omega heat" for the first time
god that adhd struggle where you are so motivated to do something but there is just like. A Blockage In Your Body that stops the motivation from turning into anything. so you just like. vibrate. sitting there like yeah, man, i totally want to do that right now. (doesnāt)
i posted this image on twitter like actual ages ago but it just keeps getting more relevant
Here are a few things to try in these cases. They sometimes work, sometimes not.
- say outloud that you want to do differently but are stuck
- count from 5 to zero with the express objective of starting when you get to zero
- tell someone about the thing you want to do and get them to ask about it and how itās going
- ask someone about doing THE THING āwith themā while they do their own thing (with them can be in the same room, while on the phone together, in the same written discussionā¦)
Hope this helps you doing the thing(s).
