#on progress

[akindplace]

Trying to get over this capitalist notion that maximizing and optimizing everything is what makes things successful, including my own health progress.

You don’t need to have maximum progress so that can be considered successful on your part. Any progress still is progress, which is great, and it deserves to be celebrated even when it looks like a “small step” because when we’re struggling everything takes way more effort to do, so a “small step” still is progress and still is something you succeed in. Take the small wins. They matter too, just as much as the bigger ones.

It’s better to go slow than to burn out by trying to improve your health. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone, healing takes time, so you don’t need to focus on getting better, or recovering or healing at an incredibly fast pace which is impossible to keep up with on a long-term basis. You’ll only become more tired. You’ll only risk getting sicker.

The small things you’ve accomplished are still accomplishments. Take it slow, take those small wins, and be compassionate towards yourself and with how much you’re struggling. Everyone has different limits and respecting yours doesn’t make you lazy because it doesn’t erase any of your efforts, it just makes you someone who knows how to rest before they get sick.

Imagine being JD Vance, who makes such a huge part of his personality being catholic. The pope himself takes time to lecture you on compassion then promptly DIES. The pope uses one of his last hours on earth to tell you that you suck at your religion on EASTER. And then DIES. Anyway RIP Pope Francis

so was anybody gonna talk about the new ecology paper proposing Ethiopian wolves as potential pollinators of native nectar-rich flower inflorescences positioned on stalks conveniently within wolf enjoying height AND that it includes photos of said wolves doing said unconfirmed alleged pollination (delightful) AND that it has observational evidence suggesting some wolves do like 1 flower and are done and other wolves just get really into it and spend upwards of an hour going between 20 and 30 flowers for up to 4-5 minutes per cluster just utterly going at it, lost in the nectar sauce? because I cannot BELIEVE I haven’t seen something on this webbed site about it yet. it just has everything this site enjoys

today i wrote zero words! but i did think about my story twice in passing. that probably counts for something

I think one of the best and unintentionally funniest worldbuilding aspects in Star Wars is the reasoning of why did Bail and Breha adopt Leia instead of having their own children. Leia is first established as the princess of Alderaan before she is written to be Luke's sister. So now we need to figure out how she got to Alderaan. She was adopted because she needed to be hidden and separated from her brother. Bail was placed there to be one of the only people who knew so there would be a reason why it was them who got her. They specifically wanted a daughter. Why? Because Alderaan is a matriarchal society, so they needed a princess. Why didn't the Queen and her husband have biological children? Because they can't. Why? Because the Queen can't have kids. Why? Because she got injured as a teenager and got her internal organs replaced and her body can't handle a pregnancy. How did she get injured so badly? She fell off of a mountain. How did that happen? She was climbing it. Why was the future Queen climbing a mountain in the first place? Because she needed to go through three challenges in order to inherit the throne and one of them required her to go through something physically impressive. Why? Because before that they just held a Battle Royale for all the heirs and the one left alive got the throne and they at some point figured out that maybe they shouldn't be doing that, actually. Oh, okay.

Maybe we’ll get to see the first American pope in history be the first pope to excommunicate the US vice president
