Ok so this is just totally me complaining but maybe some other chronic pain havers can understand where I'm coming from,, I'm so! Sick of being told "just exercise it'll help <3" when I say i have chronic pain. Because you know what! Sure! Maybe it could help! But my baseline of pain makes that sort of movement unbearable. "Just push through it!!" If you felt like your entire body was on fire, would you want to be told going for a run would help it? No!
I just. It's very frustrating hearing that sort of thing, because while yes, sometimes moving can help, I'm someone who, despite having a fibromyalgia diagnosis, has zero treatment(because canada wait lists for referrals is atrocious ..). It'd be a different story if I maybe had meds that got rid of some of the pain and then I could help the rest with exercise, but currently? I can't even sit for extended periods of time without feeling like my back is collapsing in on itself. But yeah, sure, I can totally go on a run and fix all my pain!!/s
The interpersonal part of asking for help is important and a factor that occurs to me is that like. Asking someone to give you a ride is seen as a "normal favor" while asking someone to help you take the subway is likely to be treated as like. Labor you can't expect all the time. And like, obviously, this is because abled people ALSO need to help each other get rides all the time, so that's a request that is treated as more "normal". Idk where I was going with this.
right!! there's an implied subtext in "you can ask me for help anytime" about the forms that said help should take and the frequency of said requests. but if you're living alone and you need help doing all manner of things from getting yourself a drink of water to retrieving objects should they happen to be heavier than two pounds, your need for help is going to come up a lot more frequently than this person understands.
I think that the range and frequency of common, everyday tasks with which a disabled person may have difficulty doesn't really "click" for able-bodied people. I think they only really see things as "tasks" that require significant effort or force and thus are things that someone might need help with when it's something that they themselves would need assistance with (such as walking 20 miles home from the airport with two suitcases), like you said.
there's a real lack of empathetic imagination with them no matter how many times I sit them down and explain the range of tasks with which I have difficulty and say "I need you to look around this room and notice all the things you have left in a state that, based on the limitations I've explained, will significantly impair my ability to use them. I need you to see the world the way that I do." does not click. people who are committed to loving me, even! I just don't get it. I ask them to get something heavy out for me, they say sure and then put it down three feet from where I will need to use it. well... thank you I guess. still useless to me. lol
Hot take but i hate the fact that we've normalised saying a woman "destroys" her body with pregnancy and childbirth. It's one thing to talk about the health consequences, but if i see one more comment saying that a woman has destroyed her body because she is no longer conventionally attractive, i will simply start killing people.
Hi, uh, I was wondering if you remember a reblog (I think it was you if it wasnt you Um. Disregard this sorry) about small core workouts and something about their mother trying it and improving their health? Do you still have it? 😭 I have been trying to find that post everywhere (my bones… My Bones…!!!!!) so I thought I would ask you since I remember seeing your reblog it
If it wasnt you and youre like ???? to me rn super sorry whoa
AGH NO I ACTUALLY do remember this post but I also can’t find it Anywhere on my blog… BUT! If you’re looking for core workouts, I would recommend looking at Nerdfitness beginner workouts, as they’re about mid-beginner range and have different versions. Bodyweight for no equipment, hotel workout for little equipment and little time, etc. Or look into hybrid calisthenics and take smaller reps and work your way up? Argh im sorry I also remember this post and tagging it “find later” or “ref” but she is gone
[image text: He'd felt that same sensation before, when he'd first met Spensa.
He'd thought it was attraction, and surely he felt that. For all she frustrated him, he was attracted like a moth to a flame. There was something else though. Something this alien had too. Something he knew was hidden deep within his family line.]
Yk how how Jorgen thought cytonic vibrations were attraction and he’s never mentioned being attracted to anyone other than Spensa
anyways johnny’s part of the devil went down to georgia is one of the best fiddling portions of recorded songs of all time and the devil’s bit is just a glorified scale exercise
maybe i really actually "needed" testosterone, because for the first time in my exercising efforts, i'm discovering the mundane joys of joint stability
If I say I'm fat it's not self deprecating. I am fat and that's not inherently negative. What's negative is that everyone treats me like a fucking ogre
The first image was moreso supposed to depict a slightly pissed off Volo whose only tell that he's angry is the minute waver of his illusion, hence the ends of his hair being faded and the part that sticks out of his bun is wispy. Alas, I effectively failed in portraying that both in terms of expression and because I have little skill in drawing side-profiles. Also the first image is him topless because I don't really know how to draw clothing on a side profile and have barely enough knowledge of anatomy to go 'fuck it ┐( ˘_˘)┌'.
Second Image I tried to do what I failed in the first and I guess??? it turned out okay??
H.Zoroark!Volo aside, the first image is also just how I headcanon him to look in terms of body type and being more scarred.
Started to do (regular) sport again. Like 17 minutes training per day with an app (+ my regular weekly pole training with a coach). For body and mental health reasons. I could do those exercises without app but it’s more motivating if you have a set you have to complete and then see it listed in your progress. (app also monitors my weight since years and it’s also a neat reminder from where I started).
Like I know it definitely works to feel better. During lockdown I pulled through for 1 month and it showed. So I gotta try again.
Omg tag ur it 2 was amazing!!! Question, the end when keigo said “plan”, is it a plan for reader to leave dabi or for them to sneak behind dabis back to see each other? does reader really love dabi? Or is this all his emotional manipulation that makes her fall in love? This part 2 has me confused about readers true feelings. And yes, im already in love with tag ur it Tomura >.<
thank you anon!! (´∀`)♡ so happy to hear that you liked it!! <3 OOOOH hehehe well you’ll just have to wait for part three to find out all the answers to those questions, won’t you!! (*/ω\*) and i promise it won’t take two years for the third and final part to be released!!!!
EEEEEEE YES I KNEW U WOULD!!!!! i am SO in love with him i have a whole backstory for him and everything like his characterization takes up pages and pages of my notebook, i am obsessed with that iteration!!! he’s pretty much like tnii!tomura, but cooler 😎
