2300+ home workouts, FREE workouts, exercise programs, monthly challenges and fitness guides.

This is an excellent resource for home fitness that I have been using to help improve my own personal fitness level. It is completely, 100% free, but because of that it relies on donations to keep it running. Today, it ticked over into a new month aka bills due, and their funding levels just dropped into critical territory.

If you see this, go to their website and try it out. I recommend The Foundation and Foundation Light programs, which are general fitness programs for beginners (like me). If you like it, consider donating to keep an enormous, freely available resource from disappearing. Community resources like this are kept afloat by small donations from people like us. I understand that we are all dealing with The Malaise™, but it really is a useful resource that not enough people know about.

BTW, you can download PDFs of all of their programs, 100% for free. You know, in case something else happens that restricts access to their site.

Free Wood Chip Mulch from ChipDrop

Helping gardeners get free mulch. Helping arborists empty their trucks.

If you have a yard and need mulch, the garden centers charge a fortune. But you can get mulch FOR FREE from Chip Drop.

If you are one of those people who think fancy, evenly chipped, dyed mulch is the only thing that will do, alas for you. That's not what you will get. And you shouldn't use dyed mulch anyway.

What you will get from Chip Drop is the detritus that arborists need to dump after they've done some tree clearing. I just got a pile of FREE mostly pine mulch over 6 feet high. It should be more than enough to meet my needs to suppress weeds on pathways and mulch around winter plants.

And it's FREE, though I paid the optional $20 fee.

All you have to do is sign up, and when there is an arborist in the area, you get your mulch. You can add your preferences as well, but if you are too picky, it will take longer to get what you want. It took me about a month to get my free mulch, and with a spate of warm weather coming this week, I'll have plenty of time to make use of it.

I use the Back to Eden and no dig gardening methods, and mulch is essential to my needs.

I highly recommend Chip Drop.

This is not a paid endorsement.

I love libby. I did not know about the others. Thank you.

[maybe-lisa-redux]

In addition to the original post, everyone should check the digital offerings of their public library. Mine offers both Libby (as mentioned above, which I also love) and Hoopla, as well as free digital magazines, newspapers, comics, graphic novels, etc.

I'll definitely be checking this out!

People have written a lot of touchy-feely pieces on this subject but I thought I’d get right to the heart of the matter

“Holy shit two cakes,” I mutter to myself as I do fucking anything these days, this post was a godsend

[ruffboi-mags]

I know it’s not July yet, but guys, happy 10 years of “two cakes”. This post on god has been a godsend not only as a writer myself but as a friend of artists and writers who I love to encourage. This was legitimately a game-changer.

OP thank you so much for this.

funny seeing the google ai go on full defense for white people over the word honky while the wiki article it's sourcing is just like "yeah its some insult". they're injecting their own #alllivesmatter weights into the bot

According to fox entertainment this is who we should be afraid of. I didn't know who Francesca Hong was 10 minutes ago but thankfully now I'm aware of this monster and her monsterous policies

TikTok is a fundamentally evil app however the reason i use it is because you occasionally stumble across gems like the Chinese power transformer manufacturer who posts kawaii edits of their power transformers

Online spaces have almost always been where asexual and aromantic people meet each other and organize. This is why the major online campaigns against us around ten years ago were so destructive.

It’s easy to say that cyber bullying doesn’t matter in the real world or whatever but targeted online bullying campaigns have the power to wreck entire communities and support networks.

It’s difficult to just turn off your computer when all the people who relate to this aspect of your life are in there.

I’ve definitely met other asexual and arospec people irl but it’s quite rare. And real life queer spaces are in fact often bars or kink spaces. And like bully for you if you like kink or alcohol or romance but when your entire identity is based around not feeling the feelings often associated with romance and/or sex that’s not always super fun.

And people got relentlessly mocked for bringing up this issue. Shut down. Called childish. Like okay. Fuck us for wanting a sober non sexual spot to meet other queers, right? So childish for wanting options.

I’ve been involved in the online asexual community and doing education about asexuality and aromanticism in both irl and online queer spaces for almost fourteen years now and that short period of time around 2016-2018 took a wrecking ball to my people that I feel like we’ve still barely recovered from and I’m still angry about it.

I think asexual pirates should come back. This time they’re here for your ass. And not sexually.

How quickly our knowledge is lost.

anyone else notice how when "digital assistants" were just supposed to do specific tasks when you asked for them we had Alexa and Siri and Cortana, but now that they're being marketed as smart enough to take actions and make decisions on their own they've got names like Claude and Devin
