One day. One day I will be brave enough. Enough to trust myself in an attempt at operating one of those motor scooter shopping cars in a store. One day.

The Connection Between Balance Problems and Nutritional Deficiencies

Balance problems are a common yet often overlooked issue that can significantly impact one’s quality of life. While there are many possible causes, one key factor that is often neglected is nutritional deficiencies. Several vitamins and minerals play critical roles in maintaining balance, coordination, and overall neurological health. A deficiency in any of these essential nutrients can lead to…

My dad was griping that I never go on Facebook and don’t see his cool pictures. Largely twigs. I told him the reasons I don’t like Facebook and he grumbled.

Then I told him why I like tumblr better. He asked if he posted stuff here if I’d see it. I said yes but. I made him promise not to look at my blog. He got excited and said he wouldn’t and he better not, but anyway.

Now I’m giving him tips on like basic shit. “Don’t make your full name your username,” which was surprisingly challenging. He was like But that’s my brand and I was like if you look like a brand here they’ll just block you. Then it was “Hey might be a good idea to turn off metadata on your photos.”

I’m having this bizarre switcheroo moment of trying to explain internet safety to my parent.

Listen I’m not saying that *I* have the balls to buy a reflective vest and go off on a roadside or retention pond somewhere and start fucking around guerrilla gardening

But I am saying that the past week I’ve driven past many MANY people in reflective vests either doing roadwork or maintaining roadside shrubbery or whatever and the amount of times I considered questioning what the fuck they were doing is zero and the amount of times I would’ve even had the TIME to question what the fuck they were doing is zero

I saw groups of people I saw someone solo I didn’t question it I just figured ‘eh they’re doing SOMETHING and carried on. Depending on the location you pick, anyone who WOULD Karen up and interrogate you won’t even have the time space or ability to

So like, given that the judiciary is useless and the legislature is useless, what do you recommend Americans do? What mechanism do you think protest will be able to activate, other than starting a violent rebellion?

"constitutional government is in the process of breaking down" does not mean "there is nothing the legislature and judiciary can do."

look, all rule of law is kayfabe to some extent, right? the reason it works is that the systems that operate according to its rules have legitimacy, some degree of abstract popular support that means that people broadly obey the decisions of institutions, and where there's strong disagreement about those decisions, the body of people empowered de jure or de facto to settle those disagreements (which includes, but is not limited to, the people with actual social sanction to use violence) care about upholding the system.

but politics did not begin in 1788 with the invention of modern constitutional government, it is not confined to republican systems of power, and it does not occur solely within the realms of electoral politics, judicial process, and legislative sessions. all these things proceed from politics, and did not create it. coalition-building, popular discontent, divisions among factions of elites, and all these other fuzzy things which are hard to pin down in hard data like approval poll numbers matter--they matter to the extent that they have overthrown kings and dictators throughout history, and are in fact responsible for the republican government under which you live.

the actions of the legislature and the judiciary still matter a lot, because they still have different degrees of legitimacy to different groups within the country. it sucks that decades of the convergence of various factors have hollowed out mass political organizing in the united states, so it's hard to mobilize people for substantive action (protests of the sort where you can actually demand things, instead of just vibe on the National Mall), but even though this shit is harder to do effectively, i think even protests still matter! calling your congresscritters to yell at them still matters--especially if they are a Republican member of the House.

and now i'm gonna get a little bit mean, and i apologize for this in advance, but here's the thing: i have been getting a lot of asks lately about "what should people do." and i am just some asshole on tumblr. this is not even an advice blog. at a certain point in life you have to acquire an orientation to the world which is "i may not know the answer to this question, but i i know i can find it out, or i know i can try to find it out, and if that doesn't work i can keep trying." lotta people online right now seem to have this attitude of helplessness. they are waiting for someone with authority to give them a definitive answer about what to do and how to fix things. these answers do not exist. all there is in this life is varying degrees of individuals deciding that they will try something, and hopefully in the process link up with other individuals who are also trying something and maybe have some advice to share.

this isn't just about politics, by the way; this is an attitude that i think it is necessary for all adults to acquire at some point, if they want to avoid feeling helpless and eventually resentful. the world is not a thing happening to you; it is a thing you are inside and can affect. i have my own opinions on what i'd like to see people doing right now, sure--and some of those things are things only, say, members of the house of representatives can do--but i'm not VI fuckin' Lenin here posting from Switzerland in anticipation of leading the revolution when i return. i don't know where you live or what your situation is or who you know. you must, at a certain point, feel a sense of responsibility and duty toward your own community and to your society, and act commensurately.

An underrated sashannarcy dynamic is them starting as a V-shaped relationship and the hinge realizing the other two are also in love and trying to set them up. I wanna see Marcy playing matchmaker for her two girlfriends who hate each other and also love each other but they also hate each other and

Toddler - Numbered Peg Boards

Look at that focus! The Numbered Peg Boards help toddlers develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination as they grasp and place the pegs into the holes. The numbered pegs introduce early math concepts, such as one-to-one correspondence, counting, and number recognition. Additionally, independence and self-confidence are fostered as students complete this work on their own, all while promoting cognitive and physical development.
