That comment is spot on AND sciatica stretches are legit. The best treatment for sciatica is get stretchy.

For anyone who doesn’t know, Sciatica is pain due to compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from your buttocks down the back of your leg. The reason this stretch is helpful is because the sciatic nerve, after leaving your spinal cord, immediately runs just underneath - and may get compressed by - the Piriformis muscle deep in your buttcheek, which helps you externally rotate your hip. (If the muscle is super tight, your toes on that side might actually point further out when you lie down compared to the toes on your other foot, jsyk).

@should-be-sleeping my friend you really surprised me by putting this 2 year old post back on my dash rn but I feel it deserves an update. In the two years since I started making deliberate choices to use my imagination and creativity again like this, I’ve also started drawing again and writing stories that sat in my clinically depressed brain for over 6 years waiting for me to finally be able to express myself through art again

This version of the progress flag legitimately looks so nice

Yes!!!! I did a review of literature on PFASs in human drinking water about half a year ago, and there is a lot of really good progress! Please celebrate this, please don't let this solution be forgotten (at least so quickly) as the ozone layer or acid rain.
