Being someone who runs as a hobby has really put into perspective how. Bad. They were at teaching this stuff in PE.

Yes you need to do warm-ups so you don't injure yourself.

Yes you need to do cool-downs so you don't injure yourself.

Yes you need to do core workouts so you don't overwork your legs and injure yourself.

Yes you need rest days so your body can recover and grow stronger.

Yes being hungry after a run is normal because you've just expended a lot of energy and your body is in the recovery process. Drink lots of water and eat something with protein in it.

And above all. ABOVE. ALL. You need to have good shoes so you don't injure yourself. They (and maybe a sports bra) are what you should be shelling out good money for.

Shoes should last you anywhere from 300-500 miles depending on how hard you run. You can see it in how the tread wears down. Personally, I use the Nike Run app to track my runs so I can see how many miles are on my shoes so I can visually see when I need to check them. If you have a local running store, go there to get fitted. The people working there will be weird! Runners are... kind of strange. But they're also some of the nicest people I've ever met once the weirdness wore off.

Had to share this here because you're right and you should say it. It's incredible how many people came out of the woodwork as soon as AO3 was down and suddenly had no compunctions at all about screaming how much they love and need fanfic--on the AO3 twitter. Is it so much harder to do in the comment section?

At this point I don't care anymore if people call me entitled or think I'm out of line. If fanfic is so meaningful to you that you cannot go half an hour without, let alone 24h, then you can get over yourself long enough to write a fucking comment. No excuses.

"writing comments is hard and scary" yeah well GUESS WHAT so is writing fanfics. fandom as a community is dying, because it is instead treated as a COMMODITY, a CONSUMER PRODUCT. We're not asking for much. We're asking for a CONNECTION. We don't want to sell, we want to share.

You've shown your hand. You've admitted you cannot live without us. Now ACT LIKE IT. Go write a fucking comment.

boycotting a piece of media is quite literally the easiest thing you can do to support the liberation of Palestine and Palestinians. It's so fucking easy. BDS is a decades old Palestinian-led form of peaceful resistance where they have quite literally done the work for you by telling you who to boycott AND providing alternatives. They ask so little, but people can't even boycott a Disney princess movie, can't even miss *one* marvel movie, can't even just not watch the Pedro Pascal zombie show, and can't even skip watching the worst fucking singing contest on Earth. I don't understand. help me understand how it's so hard to just *not* do something. All you have to do is not watch or talk about these things, and instead, do quite literally ANYTHING else. My eyes are filled with tears right now. There are families being massacred every day and, yes, times are hard for everyone in their own way. but the most inexpensive thing being asked of you to help disempower the genocidal war machine killing Palestinians is to just NOT WATCH OR TALK ABOUT a handful of things and wow many of you won't even do that. you are not serious people. you are careless posers and I hope, genuinely, that when you ask people to do a simple thing to help you that you rot from the inside out with the guilt that you couldn't do the same. That you couldn't even just not watch a stupid singing contest as a gesture of solidarity with Palestinians being massacred. anyways, if you read this far, please consider donating and sharing @amalashuor 's campaign. she is trying to raise enough money to keep her husband and baby alive until they can flee Gaza. her campaign is vetted (#175 here). Here's the link to the campaign. Everything we do can help the lives of Palestinians, whether it's boycotting or protesting or sharing their campaigns, please stop underestimating your own impact.
