I cannot tell you how many times an adult told me over the years that "you're too young to be in that kind of pain" or the classic "wait until you're my age", insinuating that I was a little bitch who could never grasp what true pain really is.

Just yesterday I was in class and a guy near me mentioned that his back hurt, which our teacher heard and said "you're too young, just wait until your 50s, then it'll really hurt", and I hear this guy very quietly say that he has scoliosis.

Saw this on Pinterest but wanted to share bc actually I have had a physio recommend this to me and it’s been amazing!

Walking backwards strengths the muscles around your knee (esp the quadriceps, which you will definitely feel if you do this) but doesn’t put the same strain on the joint as forward walking or running. It’s very good for your balance, coordination and patellar tracking, all important to reduce knee pain, support your knees and can help rehab knee injuries.

I do it on a gym treadmill, usually at 1.2 km/h (but I’ve seen anywhere from 0.8-1.6 km/h recommended, which is like 0.5-1.0 mph for the Americans). You can start with a very slight incline and then slowly increase it 5% as you get more comfortable, and to help engage the muscles. I usually do this for 5 to 10 minutes, 3-4 times a week. My understanding is that you can also do it outside, either on flat or sloped ground, because just walking backwards itself is useful as hell (the incline is just useful to engage muscles more as you get more used to it)

I was raised to think that if you're smart enough and pay attention you can avoid making mistakes. If you mess up, it's a character flaw and you should be ashamed of yourself. Berated. Punished.

This is a terrible mentality to live by. I cringe when I see my parents perpetuate this by harshly criticizing others for honest, everyday mistakes. Yeah, some things would be avoidable if you chose differently. But you in that moment were just a person and honestly, shit just happens. People lose their wallets. People scrape their tires on the curb. People forget to write down appointments and use leftovers. People knock their drinks over. People misunderstand or struggle to follow instructions.

This took so long to draw!

Anyways, I heard someone complaining that there is not enough art of people in tilted manual wheelchairs - and I agree! So here you go. Meet Noah!

"cream of mushroom soup" might be an ingredient in the recipe description but that cream of mushroom soup is made up of other ingredients. those ingredients are not universal, different cream of mushroom soups have different ingredients.

I have a deathly onion allergy. some chicken broths contain onion while others do not. when an ingredients list says "chicken broth" I have no way of knowing if the food will kill me because "chicken broth" is made of things that are not chicken broth.

there are many reasons they could be doing this, but a small juvenile orca was later seen scooping up the shreds, so my bet is that this was just a family making Orca Baby Food.

sunfish have extremely tough leathery skin with a thick layer of disgusting-tasting gel under it that gives the sunfish neutral buoyancy and also makes it too gross to bite. the traditional way to get around these issues and get at the tender flesh inside is to be a human with a fillet knife, but I guess just fucking exploding them also does the trick.
