Honestly, y'all, I'm begging you. Take the time to think and learn for yourself. Even if it's just something casual like knitting or cooking. Exercise your brain. It's important.

anyone else get embarrassed when their self indulgent daydreams are like too self-indulgent? like oh jeez the telepaths are going to judge me

i think sometimes it’s easy to forget how happiness feels. not the short bursts you get with your friends, but the long-term effect when you wake up in the morning and your chest feels full and bursting. when the sun is shining and the warmth climbs up your throat and your heart beats the bassline of your favorite song because you have two legs that can run and the world in the palm of your hand. i think it is easy to fall apart and sit waiting, holding tight to your knees and this feeling in a glass jar. i think you should remember how it feels to breathe it in.

somewhere in the world

a clock is ticking

Destruction sits tight in a metal fist

pressure is bound

building

gunpowder

and

fuses

a boy holds a gun

with one hand over his heart

as fragments rip through

as Innocence grasps at its chest

as the blood of the many pour

and far, far away

the rich clink their glasses

and laugh

[luvs4enri]

i hope humanity ends

with the innocents on their knees

with gratitude to their gods

and the greedy

and the violent

falling from their thrones

I don't know if people genuinely aren't putting 2 and 2 together

But when Trump is arguing that native americans "don't have birthright to live here" and is trying to "deport them"

It means we go in the same camps immigrants are going in

Mexico and other countries aren't taking the immigrants the US is "trying" to send back, he's going to kill us

The US is making death camps, and they are taking everyone they find undesirable to send there

Natives count as the undesirables too.

I noticed theres not a huge fitness/gym community on Tumblr, but here's my beginner guide to getting fit at home in case anyone's interested. Best to start now so you'll look good for summer. Some exercises require dumbbells, but you can get creative with that. Hold a heavy book while squatting or curl a can of seltzer for biceps.

1) Workout

Upper body (repeat 2x a week):

10 pushups x2 - do them against a wall or leaning on a table/chair to make it easier.

12 standing dumbbell row x3

12 bicep curls x3

20 shoulder taps x3 (10 each side)

Lower body (repeat 2x a week):

Hold weight to increase the difficulty of these exercises.

20 lunges x 3 (10 each side)

15 squats x 3

15 calf raises x 3

15 glute bridges x 3

Core (repeat 1-2x a week):

Grab a mat or a rug and rest 20 sec between each exercise

15 crunches

10 leg raises

12 v-ups

20 russian twists (10 each side)

Repeat x3

Rest days:

Stay active. Walk to a coffee shop, go on a hike, maybe shoot a basketball around with your friend. Burning calories doesn't have to be suffering on a long run.

2) Nutrition

Even if you decide you don't want to work out, if you figure out your diet, you will still look like a completely different person in a few months.

First, go online to calculate your daily maintenance calories. If you want to lose weight, subtract about 500 calories from that to find how much you should eat per day. To gain weight, add 500 calories. If you are happy with your weight, eat your daily maintenance calories every day, but work on the quality of your food. I recommend the MyFitnessPro app (its free) to help you track your meals and make sure you're getting all the nutrients you need every day.

To build muscle, take your weight in lbs, multiply by 0.5-0.7, and thats the amount of protein (in grams) you should be eating per day.

Good sources of protein include: chicken, Greek yogurt, protein shakes, eggs, tofu, fish, pistachios, milk, cheese, turkey, and much much more.

Along with your protein, make sure you also have about an equal amount of carbs, and twice as many fruits and vegetables.

3) Additional health tips

Stretch daily, especially after a workout. Your joints will thank you.

Drink lots of water. 0.5 - 1 ounce per pound of bodyweight should keep you healthy.

Sleep 7-8 hours per night (depending on age). I was going to list all of the benefits of this, then realized there were way too many. Please sleep.

Walk 10,000 steps per day. Walking is one of the best methods of weight loss. It burns fat, not muscle, and it's so easy. Seriously go for walks, they're fun.

Sorry that was a lot, but you can seriously turn your life around with just a bit of effort every day. Try it for a month, I promise you will look and feel amazing. Lmk if anyone wants more tips, especially regarding gym workouts. I got a ton to share.
