Re: blorbo from my research, here is my favorite ever case study. I'm obsessed with it.
Summary:
- Guy presents to neurology with muscle issues, very clearly has something going on but diagnostic tests are inconclusive
- History is mostly unremarkable. Key word, mostly. He drinks four liters of plain Earl Grey tea per day. For context this is nearly twice the recommended daily fluid intake. All fluids, to be clear, not just tea. He only drinks tea tho
- Bergamot is known to be phototoxic in high doses (reacts badly on your skin with sunlight)
- APPARENTLY nobody previously has consumed enough of it for it to be widely known that it is also, apparently, mildly toxic to ingest in high doses
- Guy starts drinking plain black tea again. Only 2 liters this time (he didn't have a medical reason to drink that much tea, he just liked it) and so now he's fully recovered
Generic Stonewood #5 Gelfling Full Puppet - Jim Henson Company 70th Anniversary Auction on Julien's Auctions, sold for $10,240 - Lot 110
"A Stonewood Gelfling puppet from the prequel series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (Netflix, 2019). This is a background puppet seen in multiple scenes and episodes throughout the series. Notably, this is one of the Stonewood Clan Gelflings that is seen taken control of by the Arathim Threaders at the end of the seventh episode, "Time to Make... My Move," and then strapped in front of the Crystal of Truth and has its Essence taken out in the eighth episode, "Prophets Don't Know Everything." Puppet sculpted by Toby Froud.
The puppet's head is made of sculpted and hand-painted foam latex with wig hair punched into it. Its costume is an iridescent silk tunic with serrated edges, a quilted wool mantle backed with cotton, painted suede hat, leather belt with individual rolls of leather spooled together, gauntlets that are painted and quilted wool, jersey-style leggings, and leather wrapped shoes. The tassels that hang from the arms of the garment are lovingly referred to internally as "Froud Shrouds," in reference to The Dark Crystal's original designer, Brian Froud, and fabricator, Wendy Froud. During the filming of the original film, the Frouds added tassels to hang from the sleeves of the Gelfling puppets to help hide the puppeteering rods for the arms. Despite having the technology in place to digitally remove rods for the prequel series, the Frouds insisted that the tassels remain on the arms of the Gelflings because the style had already been established. This puppet does not contain hands and has animatronic ears.
Built inside of the puppet's head is a metal plate with two screws backed with magnets and affixed to the glass taxidermy eyes to allow the puppeteer to control the puppet's eyes. This metal plate also served as a resting place for the puppeteer's hand. A protective covering of either leather or another material was also built into the inner mouthpiece so the puppeteer's hand wouldn't sweat through. The body of the puppet is an articulated pod with foam arms with inner wooden dowels to create bone structures. The arms of the puppets were created to be foam latex up to the elbow and then have the ability to be Velcro'd on and off for easy replacement, as damage was a regular occurrence because of prop usage or rod replacement.
This puppet comes posed and mounted on a stand custom-built by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, featuring an identifying emblem.

Shipping and crating will be coordinated through experienced third-party specialty shippers, with all related costs the responsibility of the buyer.

Nine would have thought Martha Jones was the coolest person in the world. Doesn’t even matter where in the timeline this was or what happened to Rose, he would have loved her leather jacket and her hairstyle. He would have loved that she was a DOCTOR! Her studying to be a doctor was so overlooked and he would have loved it. He would have thought she was the coolest person alive. Nine and Donna would have killed each other on sight
I don't know if anyone pointed this out yet but "Quark's Federation Experience" from Lower Decks season 4 episode 6 is based on "Star Trek: The Experience", a Star Trek themed attraction at Las Vegas Hilton from the 90s to early 2000s.
Also love seeing all the TOS exhibits there, such as the Taurus II anthropoid or the Guardian of Forever.
women should lift weights because it prevents osteoporosis in old age and makes you a more capable person in everyday life please shut up about butts and waists and hourglasses i'm going to fucking kill
genuine question from someone who would rather chew their arm off than go to a public gym, and also doesnt have a lot of money: how do you safely get into strength training? are there youtube channels, apps (android), etc anyone recommends that makes it approachable and don't lean into diet culture / body shaming?
also the biggest thing that keeps me from working out is that I already have joint and spinal issues and moving the wrong way can fuck up a knee or a shoulder or my spine for days. I really don't want to injure myself, and have unwittingly done so before. resources that are extremely clear on exactly how to move and offer gentler / alternative ways to move for people with limited range are vital.
Okay, so this may not technically be strength training, but muscles are dumber than bricks and cannot tell the difference between your own bodyweight and actual weights.
So, may I recommend:
Hey everyone! My name is Hampton and my brand is Hybrid Calisthenics. You can find me by that name pretty much everywhere on social media.
He runs a YouTube channel where he goes over how to work your way up to more complex exercises (for instance, his pull-ups videos start with using a door jamb and moving your weight back and forth) so it's good for easing yourself into things.
You also don't have to fork out for expensive weights and such if you don't want to/can't. Substitute with stuff you either already have at home or can get from the supermarket and build up the weight you can exercise with. 500 gram cans of butter beans then 750 gram bottles of pasta sauce. 1 litre drink bottle then your 1.5 litre milk bottle. 3 litre bulk-buy bottle of laundry detergent. Etc. One of my dogs weighs 13 kilos and I pick her up on the regular (to her delight). One weighs 16 kg and I pick him up too (to his consternation and mild disapproval). You don't have to fit out some fancy home gym before you can start strength training.
I second Hybrid Calisthenics, that's the program I use. It's run by one guy who's taken it upon himself to make exercising more accessible and it's completely free! Each exercise has different variations based on your ability and each variation is further divided into different levels of difficulty so you can work up to where you want to be. If you can't do a single push up for example then this program will help you work up to the point where you can, and if you're a master of push ups then there are more advanced body weight exercises you can tackle so you can keep moving forward in your training without stagnating. The routine offers a full body workout with absolutely no equipment required for the beginning levels. The only reason you would need to buy anything is if you want to work up to a full pull up, at which point you would need actual pull up rings
Here's his actual website which I feel is easier to navigate than the YouTube channel on its own and organizes things in a way that's easy to understand. He explains everything you need to know about the routine and each individual exercise has both a text description and a video tutorial
Also, check out workouts for seniors, particularly if you have joint issues or you haven't ever really exercised. Exercises for the elderly are gentler and really focus on essentials (balance and strength), and once you've gained more confidence, you can look for other workouts. Think of these as building the habit of moving. If you do something to move every day, you're building the habit that will compound throughout your life.
If money allows, hire a personal trainer for say 8-12 sessions, there's always some kind of promotion somewhere, and have them teach you proper form for basic movements (squats, rows, lunges etc) so that you can do them on your own properly without hurting yourself. Then ask them for a workout plan for home workouts using bodyweight, and they'll help design one just for you.
I've done this myself and now I lift heavy shit in my early 40s after just 1.5 years of regularly exercising, so start anytime!!
