made me think of this

[id: x/twitter qrt from user styloshka that says "I read a forum post about art once, that it's a product of the dialectic between the effort of the artist and the friction of the medium. You push on the thing and the thing pushes back on you, it has its own voice. The weight of a piano key, the tension of a guitar string." original post from user colleen_daves says "Don't you want to skip over the mindless drudgery that is making art?" I do six stand embroidery and break like 10 needles a day, would I prefer that activity didn't hurt my hands and make me angry? Sure. But that's what makes having the finished piece after so worth it to me."]

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved when I got assigned a solo and would dance it over and over as much for pleasure as for the quest for perfection, but I loved the rest of it too.

I loved the slow methodical mediation of the stretches before class. I loved the quiet discipline of the barre exercises, the endless repetition, the feel of me shaping my body into the same forms, closer ever closer to correct.

Most of the others didn't rush onto the floor the moment it cleared to stretch alone.

Most of the others complained endlessly about barre. For me it was part of it. All of it was dancing and I loved dancing in every fiber of my being, pushing ever pushing at the boundaries of what my body can do.

It was never boring to me, not even the most mundane, repetitious parts. I gave no fucks for those few performances in front of the audience; I was dancing for me and that included doing feet positions over and over at the barre. It was doing the thing that mattered and I loved every second of it.

I was the same way with the assorted marital arts styles I studied over the years until my body gave out. The spars are the glamourous bits, but I loved the drills too, repeating, repeating, repeating.

I was the same way with candle wicking and needlepoint, my fingers reading canvas. My fingers mindlessly going in and out or doing the knots over and over.

It is possible to love every part of the thing, the colours unrealing on canvas, the patterns on linen, the repetition of form of drill of motion. Effort and beauty and sweat forever tangled together.

This is what Annie Dilliard said

A well-known writer got collared by a university student who asked, ”Do you think I could be a writer?”

”Well,” the writer said, ”I don’t know. . . . Do you like sentences?”

The writer could see the student’s amazement. Sentences? Do I like sentences? I am 20 years old and do I like sentences? If he had liked sentences, of course, he could begin, like a joyful painter I knew. I asked him how he came to be a painter. He said, ”I liked the smell of the paint.”

I think this is what makes me so angry about AI. About people who say they make AI art and pass it off as real because working at being a real artist is too hard and it’s not fair to expect them to. Genuinely, I saw a comment to that effect. Or the woman I saw on Twitter bragging that she had 28 AI-generated Pride and Prejudice AU “books” for sale on Amazon. These are people who do not love sentences or the smell of paint or the friction of creation. They want a vending machine to give them things, and they want applause for pushing buttons.

So you don’t have to watch the video every time you need one of these hacks immediately:

1. If you feel nauseated, smell rubbing alcohol.

2. If you feel like throwing up, start humming.

3. If you have a runny nose, put your tongue to the roof of your mouth and press your thumb to your forehead for about 20 seconds.

4. If you have a headache, pinch the webbing between your fingers and rub it back and forth for about 1 minute.

5. If you’re lightheaded from standing up too quickly, clench your butt cheeks.

6. If your arm’s dead/has the pins and needles feeling, rock your head back and forth.

7. If you need to pee badly, think of sex to trick your brain and relieve the pressure.

8. If you have a migraine, stick your hands in ice water.

9. If you wanna calm your racing heart, blow on your thumb.

[natandacat]

If you’re lightheaded while standing up, opening and closing your fists is also something to do. Also try stretching before getting up!

(These are vasovagal syncope tricks, to get the blood pumping where it should be)

[shutyourmoustache]

Thanks for adding another hack!

I used the humming one when I randomly started dry heaving today, and that shit worked so fast!👌🏼

Gojo thought his lovestick has a dysfunction when he started to date around. The first time he thought he was nervous. The second time because his date is not hot enough. The third he finally realizes that Satoru Jr. has a problem.

It was a year later it only gets up around Utahime. Our virgin sorcerer is so confused.

A gojohime smut fic wip that won't see completion. For context what if the two were hit by a genderswap curse and they do the nasty because it's in Gojo's sexy list to be pegged. But not what he would expected.

It would be nice if someone would make it happen and publish it on ao3...👉👈

Doubleganger Curse

Young Utahime: *sees 2 Gojos fighting

Gojos: Hit him he's the imposter!

Utahime: *is confuse

Gojo 1: Senpai! Exorcise him he is the curse!

Gojo 2: She's too weak to hurt me.

Utahime: *attacks Gojo 1*

Gojo 1: What!? How!

Utahime: The real Gojo would never call me senpai! AND RESPECT YOUR ELDERS!

[leafmindscape]

*Gojo calls while the girls are out* Shoko: Your boyfriend is calling Utahime: 😠 He's not my boyfriend! *grabs phone* Utahime: Hi babe
