Introducing the ME/CFS Wellness Companion (A Work in Progress)
For those living with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Long COVID, or any energy-limiting illness, daily life can feel like an obstacle course without a map. Simple tasks become monumental. Rest becomes survival. And advice from the outside world often misses the mark entirely. In response to this, I’ve been quietly building something—a digital companion rooted not…

Managing Post-Exertional Malaise: Finding Balance and Peace in Life with ME/CFS
A Gentle Reflection on Pacing, Rest, and Navigating the Challenges of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome There are days when the body speaks softly, a whisper of weariness that hints at the storm ahead. And though we move carefully, mindful of each step, there are moments when the smallest effort—a turn of the mind, a spark of emotion—awakens something deeper. This is the dance with post-exertional…

wanna feed u grass from my hand u would be so gentle with it i feel like idk just give off that vibe. sorry. in this scenario ur a horse btw
thank you i’m very polite… i have always felt that if i was a horse i would be an appaloosa because i read a book about a girl whose horse became a unicorn at midnight when i was small and that is the breed the unicorn was. also it could speak. if j was a horse i would also be able to speak, but i wouldn’t because i enjoy seething more. i’d also be able to do simple addition and wasps would LOVE living in my stall. but well all that is fantasy and in reality i am a standard Tennessee and spoiled little upper class brats take their riding lessons on me out here on the edges of Middletown, USA. sigh… snorts and eats my grains
#<- exercising the horse knowledge forced upon me by my horse girl friends at a young age#very kind… if u fed human me grass though do not expect it to be gentle. i would be slobbering and gagging because humans cant eat grass#it’d be gross there’d be bile. but i’d persist because well who am i to turn down a gift!#ask

Hey, you're being lied to about what fitness constitutes. If you can't work in an hour-long crossfit slog, but you can work in a five-minute walk, then that is still fitness. If you can't use your legs but you can do arm circles every now and again, that is still fitness. If you're moving around at work, that's still fitness. It can be intentional or incidental, but here's the best part: your body doesn't care if you're dedicating specific work-out times. It doesn't care if the "only" fitness it gets is your nine to five on your feet. It doesn't care, fitness is fitness is fitness. Some of us do it differently, but the end result is more or less similar.
If you can do any type of fitness safely, your body isn't going to care if you're doing it like an Olympic athlete or if you're just a casual.
#fitness#gentle reminders#i hate hate hate the idea that fitness must be done Intentionally and in a Hegemonic Way#like... fitness is whatever you make of it and whatever you do#your body isn't going to be like 'well you walked for fove minutes but you didn't do shoulder presses at the gym so it doesn't count 😊'#if you want more specific forms of fitness then SURE you might want to do more specific exercises and activities#but if your goal is overall movement for however much if your body then... you don't Need to be THAT specific#and your goals may be specific for only parts of your body and that's GREAT!#a wheelchair user may for example do more arm exercises so they can use a manual chair for instance...#...and to many people i've noticed they don't think it 'counts' because the chair user isn't using 'all' of their body...#...but it's like... using your arms in non-powered chairs can be really important so like. it's still fitness.#you don't actually have to equally focus on everything if you don't want to or can't#all this to say that fitness is Not hegemonic and you don't need to feel shame about what you do or don't do#even a tiny tiny TINY amount is significant and matters <3#this is definitely something i've gotten more passionate about since becoming a ~gym bro~#because you see just how different people are and what they want out of fitness#and it's taught me a lot more about my own disabilities and how i work with (and even against) them to find balance#this is what i love about those fitness video games too! because they're often made to be engaging and fun!#i LOVED just dance as a kid and that was fitness merging with video games (and i loved video games (still do!))#and i HIGHLY recommend people get video games like just dance or that one nintendo ring game because of these elements!#it combines the comfort of home with movement with engaging music/story/video game elements#and things like that make me believe in peace and love and care on planet earth <<3

What would happen if a second human washed up onshore (Vogunti) while Melanie is there?
Bonus: the other human does not speak English. Let's say they speak mandarin Chinese, why not
Also i love asking you questions, your answers are so much fun to read lmao
Ooooh I love this one.
They would call in Melanie (and Henry) as soon as they were able to get them there to help handle the situation as they would be assumed to be the ones familiar with this kind of thing (they would be so very wrong). They'd want Henry, specifically, to see if he could help train this new giant on King's Tongue as he trained Melanie (...uh oh) and they'd want Melanie to be helpful in the same way, probably assuming that the new giant speaks Melanie's native language/could also use her hand signals. (...uh oh.)
It'd be a fun and disastrous little debacle from the Vogunti military/scholar side of things when they find out that neither Melanie nor Henry can communicate with the new comer. Then it would be a matter of them attempting to use Melanie to keep this other giant under control until they could more firmly establish intent.
Melanie's reaction would probably be terror at first, depending on how long she'd been on Vogunti. Being around people their size for so long and then finally facing someone her own size would be jarring, and then trying to communicate would be an interesting little skit of her tossing out what words she knows in some other languages in the hopes of landing on something that they might be able to try and communicate in, which would open a wild number of cans of worms for a lot of reasons.
I had thought of this kind of idea for a while now and always imagined that the new giant would be from Greenland, or Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic or something to that effect simply because everything's happening in the North Atlantic, but given Newfoundland's specific history with illegal fishing in our waters there's a case to be made that genuinely no nationality is off the table as a possibility.
Thank you so so much for the ask! This was a fun one to stretch the brain on again!
#asks and answers#g/t#giant/tiny#giant tiny#g/t writing#g/t author#gtauthor#author thoughts#gt#big little thoughts#The Stranding#Henry/Melanie#gentle giantess#I'm so glad you like sending me asks ;-;#it makes me really happy honestly#and helps as a writing warm-up exercise#many many thanks again!

People like to joke about Richard Simmons a lot but like. Have any of y'all actually done any of his workouts??
I just tried to do a 30 minute workout (80s Blast off!) of his and I had to tap out at 16 minutes because holy shit. This is SO high energy/intensity oh my god
Also he moves around the space a lot and I am in a tiny apartment so I end up marching in place while he's going forward and back and diagonal and fucking everywhere
Once I've sat and caught my breath I'm gonna try to finish up but holy Jesus. How did he do it!?
#and i've been doing 100+ minutes of cardio nearly every week for MONTHS#it's not like i don't exercise! this little man has the energy of a supernova i stg#mod post#exercise#richard simmons#mr simmons please be gentle i'm a cardiac patient
