people in books and tv shows are always getting so upset they throw an untouched meal in the trash. that would never be me. i'd receive the worst news of my life and still be like Let me put this in the fridge.

ive seen a lot of people wonder out loud in tags and the such why "bad posture" is bad if comfy. this is a really good question! and it's because the alternative is worse.

this is what i mean when i talk about compensation. "good posture" hurts because it requires stretching very tight muscles, and the point of compensation is to avoid the worst pain, even if that means contorting your body into strange positions. have you ever gripped something so tight in your hand that it becomes painful to peel your fingers off? it's a natural consequence of clenching a muscle too tight for too long.

this is why massage is such an important part of treatment, because it loosens the muscles and makes it easier and less painful to stretch them.

and for the record, "good" posture should be something that happens naturally when you relax. it isn't good posture if you need to rigidly maintain it. this is why morton's foot becomes such an issue, because it is by definition less stable than what we would consider a "normal" foot. if you need to hold yourself standing for long periods of time without rest, it wreaks absolute havoc on the body.

Prince by Allen Beaulieu

“This week, President Donald Trump admitted on Truth Social that his mass deportations are hurting farmers and the economy. Those removals are “taking very good, longtime workers away” from farms and hotels, Trump declared, adding that those workers are proving “impossible to replace.” To be clear, Trump was talking about his own immigration policies. That’s a stunning acknowledgment that Trump’s forced mass removals are targeting hard-working folks and that those undocumented immigrants aren’t taking Americans’ jobs. But it’s also functionally an admission of political vulnerability. Trump plainly grasps that his deportations are now perceived—accurately—as needlessly targeting good people who are contributing vitally to our economy and society, and not primarily the violent “criminal migrant” class that Trump and Stephen Miller keep insisting they’re removing.”

all that said the guy with my car insurance company who answered the phone was so fucking funny. he had a heavy Georgia accent which endeared me to him immediately and he was sooo worried about me and apologetic that there was no one to send to my aid and I said "that's okay. if i end up missing though they're gonna interview you as the last person who heard from me. what if there's a documentary?" and he said "ooooooo, can I start drama?" I said, "well, what kind?" And he said, "I'm gonna tell them you said you saw a green flash in the sky over the field and I heard strange voices then the line went dead."

genuinely obsessed with him to this very day.

I was driving up to a friend’s for the weekend on Friday and nearly broke down in tears because I saw a billboard on the side of a southern highway. It had the same yellow background with red text that those awful, ubiquitous “Jesus Saves!” billboards have. I nearly missed it.

It said:

“Rejoice! God loves trans kids!”
