OK Tumblr Geriatric Ward, letās talk about your posture-
there are things you should be doing now to prevent yourself from starting to look like š„
Why does it matter? Future you would like to avoid the pain, limited motion, and fall risk that goes along with worsening posture.
Whatās the focus?
1. Keep the flexibility in your spine
2. Stretch the muscles in the front
3. Strengthen the muscle in the back
Here are some simple things you can do daily while sitting and when you get up to go into the bathroom or the kitchen
Keep the flexibility by doing these repeated movements: 10 repetitions several times a day
The goal is to give yourself a double or triple chin. Keep your nose pointing forward, donāt let it tip up or down
Thoracic extension- use a chair with a seat back that comes up to the level of your shoulder blades. Try to bend back over the top of the chair without arching away from the seat back and without extending your neck. If the pressure from the top of the chair is uncomfortable you can place a towel there
Stretch the muscles in the front by using a door frame. This one will feel good afterwards
If this isnāt enough of a stretch you can do one side at a time. If you have the right arm up step forward with the right foot and turn slightly to the left. Then do it on the other side.
Strengthen the muscles in the back by squeezing your shoulder blades together for a count of 10 and then repeating 10 times. You can do this several times a day Hint: Donāt lift your shoulder blades up
There are lots more exercises for strengthening your back muscles but this is a good starting point and easy to do. I like doing it while driving
Tips:
Do the best you can
If it hurts stop
Envision future you saying thank you each time you do one of the exercises
NOTE: I can do most of these with the cerebral palsy. In fact, a lot of these little exercises are automatically part of my physical therapy. My problem is I already have hyperlordosis, spine arthritis, and cervicogenic headache. These have helped me at least try to have a posture.
I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW GOOD THIS ADVICE IS
When the homophobic scrote says something homophobic to a gay kid, and the gay kid just stands there smirking because he has seen the homosexual senior leader standing right behind the scrote's shoulder. Busted, you little wanker. Moments you realise you have become the adult you needed at school. Having a beer to celebrate. It's the weekend, mothertruckas!

These are smocking patterns. If you stitch these patterns into flat fabric and then pull the threads to gather the fabric, it will produce these patterns on the finished fabric. Smocking manipulates flat fabric into three dimensions.
The beautiful fabric that looked like dragon scales on costumes in the tv show Game of Thrones were produced by smocking, by sewing a particular pattern into the fabric and then pulling those threads just the right amount to gather the fabric into that pattern.
Fruit will last 3 weeks longerā¦.
Why You Should Keep Fruit In Mason Jars Instead Of The Containers They Come Inā¦ā¦.
When you get your fruit home from the grocery store, the first thing you should do is remove it from the plastic containers theyāve come in and recycle them. Next, clean out your sink and fill it with water (you could also use a large bowl). Then, toss in a few tablespoons of distilled vinegar. Youāll then want to submerge your fruit in the water and let it soak for about 10 to 15 minutes. The purpose of this is to get rid of any mold or bacteria on the fruit which is what causes them to go rotten more quickly.
Once the fruit has had a nice soak, remove it from the vinegar water, transfer to a strainer, and rinse with cool water. Leave the fruit out to dry on a tea towel or paper towel. Once dry, transfer the fruit to mason jars and seal up those lids. This is the best way to make your fruit last, particularly berries, which tend to be very prone to mold and bacteria buildup.
And thatās it! Incorporating these few extra steps into preparing and storing fruit can help you eliminate food waste, save money, and keep your fridge stocked with fresh produce for much longer.
helpful advice for people who donāt eat the entire kilo of raspberries on the ten minute walk back from the supermarket, yay!
I saw this post a couple months ago and tried it, and it is amazing how much longer I can keep berries now. Plus they look so pretty in the fridge!
if you can find glass jars with clamp lids and silicone seals, those are generally more airtight and are easier to open and close than screw-top mason jars, in my experience

PLEASE for the love of the universe read anti-colonial science fiction and fantasy written from marginalized perspectives. Yāall (you know who you are) are killing me. To see people praise books about empire written exclusively by white women and then turn around and say you donāt know who Octavia Butler is or that you havenāt read any NK Jemisin or that Babel was too heavy-handed just kills me! Iām not saying you HAVE to enjoy specific books but there is such an obvious pattern here
Some of yāall love marginalized stories but you donāt give a fuck about marginalized creators and characters, and it shows. Like damn
If anyone has any recommendations give them to me please!
Gladly! The pieces on this list arenāt limited to specifically anti-colonial science fiction and fantasy, but they do center related and relevant topics, themes, etc.
Anything by NK Jemisin. She is the best speculative fiction writer of her generation and probably the best speculative fiction writer alive. She is easily one of the best writers working right now, across all genres. Thatās not hyperbole. She deserves all the hype.
Anything by Octavia Butler. She needs no introduction. Her short fiction is incredible; āBloodchildā is one of the pieces that inspired me to write.
An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon. Excellent. Just read it.
The Radiant Emperor duology by Shelley P. Chan. It broke my heart and it'll break yours.
Babel by RF Kuang. Youāve probably already heard of this book because Harper Voyager marketed the shit out of it and was right to do so. Itās very, very good. Kuang writes a compulsively readable story, thatās for sure.
The Empress of Salt and Fortune by Nghi Vo.
So Long Been Dreaming: Post-Colonial Science Fiction and Fantasy (anthology) edited by Nalo Hopkinson.
Dark Matter: A Century of Speculative Fiction from the African Diaspora (anthology) edited by Nalo Hopkinson.
Severely underhyped books of assorted speculative genres:
The Blood Trials by NE Davenport. Given the current chokehold romantasy has on the public itās insane to me that this book hasnāt sold a billion copies.
The Vanished Birds by Simon Jimenez. Itāll change you.
The Tigerās Daughter by K. Arsenault Rivera.
The Lesson by Caldwell Turnbull.
Read widely. Read diversely. People of the Caucasian persuasion need to stop getting pissy when the story doesnāt immediately center them and they donāt automatically relate to everything the character says and does and is. Just let yourself get swept in the storyāeven if it touches on (gasp!) racismāand maybe, just maybe, itāll reveal something to you.
Or maybe not! Marginalized sff authors do not have to and should not have to educate their readers. But if I see one more white person complain about how Black characters are fundamentally annoying because they complain too much Iām going to fling myself into the sun
Thanks for coming to my ted talk I didnāt want to do it but here I am
Don't forget Aliette de Bodard! Especially her Xuya and Dominion of the Fallen series.
Zen Cho is my other favorite - Sorcerer to the Crown and The True Queen, and also Black Water Sister.
Great list! I will also recommend anything by Samuel R. Delany.
Also reccing P. DjĆØlĆ Clark's books, especially Ring Shout, which is like "what if Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a black woman and the KKK was still the KKK but now they're literal horrifying monsters as well as figuratively so". It's SO BADASS.
others to add!!
The Unbroken by CL Clark
ANYTHING by Nghi Vo, not just Empress of Salt and Fortune; When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain and the rest of the Singing Hills cycle, which EoSaF starts, are incredible as well as The Chosen and the Beautiful (an adaptation of the Great Gatsby).
Mexican Gothic and The Daughter of Doctor Moreau, both by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Song of Silver, Flame like Night like Amelie Wen Zhao
Nothing but Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw
ANYTHING by Tasha Suri but especially The Jasmine Throne and its sequel The Oleander Sword

Have any Dick & Tim fic recs for us poor unfortunate souls? Weāre hungry for brotherisms
I feel you anon, there can never be too many Dick & Tim brotherism fics! š I had a great time wading through my bookmarks to pull some recs (and inevitably lose a bunch of time re-reading things lol), so thanks for the ask!
so I've organized the below first by general time period, then categories like Canon Divergence and Alternate Universe. I've also limited myself to fics that have a clear focus on Dick & Tim as the primary relationship (although some of them include other characters or ensembles).
Hope that you find something new that you enjoy, friend!!
I made a thingā¦.
āSee, thatās the problem with you two. Itās always show off first, ask Tim later...ā
Seeing a post that you know a mutual will like and reblogging it to add enrichment to their dash like giving a tiger in a zoo a cardboard box
Thanks
huh i didnāt realise that was an actual thing
You didnāt?
My dude
It is Such a Thing
Iām so excited to introduce you to it
