(gripping the skink with both hands, pale and feverish, sweating and shaking as I look at myself in the mirror) “killing a character is a valid writing choice that can be a crucial plot mechanic and lend beauty and depth to the story as a whole” (wretches up blood into the sink) “even when it’s my favorite character”

so i wore a pride flag pin to work the other day and the kids were all interested (obviously) (find me a classroom of preschoolers who are not obsessed with rainbows) (i'll wait) so they crowded around to see.

"aww!" they said, "it's a flag!!"

but the thing is: they're little. a lot of them don't really have a handle on all their mouth sounds yet.

such as, notably, that tricky tricky "L" sound.

This is a strange question and I apologize in advance, but when you say "move in a way that feels good".. What exactly is the point of it? I've always been raised that the only purpose of exercise is to lose/maintain a goal weight, but if we're prescribing to the idea of a set weight that your body deems ideal, what is the point of exercise? What purpose does it serve? Sorry if this is a terribly simple question, but I'm floundering a little.

Moving your body in ways that feel good can:

Stimulate digestion and appetite.

Strengthen muscles that will make all of life’s activities easier and more manageable.

Improve and support circulation, especially to extremities.

Support metabolism of blood glucose into energy (in other words, help you get lots of energy out of what you eat).

Help you fall asleep easier at night and stay asleep through the night

Help people to regulate their moods by reducing depression and anxiety

Increase positive emotions through the release of endorphins

Improve cardiovascular health -- lung, heart, and blood vessel health

Decrease stress by activating the parasympathetic nervous system and by helping to “scrub” cortisol and other stress hormones from the blood stream (especially true for stretching, yoga, tai chi and similar breath-based practices)

Increase feelings of connection to your body

Produce feelings of efficacy and competence (”I did it!!”)

Reduce pain by moving lactic acid out of muscles and reducing inflammation

You don’t need to punish yourself to achieve these and other desirable outcomes. You can go for a walk -- ideally outside! You can do some stretches or accessible yoga videos at home. Do some gardening. Dance around in your underpants. Wrestle or play tag with your kids or your pets. Have orgasms. Clean your house. Just find ways to use your body to have a good time.
