It's wild how "women are reading frivolous and immoral novels that are rotting their brains" is such an evergreen moral panic. You'd think we'd have figured this one out by now.

I always forget when I’ve been gone a while… seven months this time and I feel truly awful about it. And yet, it seems as though no time has passed at all.

The world moves on. And yet. We still remain.

Much peace and joy to you.

OK Tumblr Geriatric Ward, let’s talk about your posture-

there are things you should be doing now to prevent yourself from starting to look like 🥀

Why does it matter? Future you would like to avoid the pain, limited motion, and fall risk that goes along with worsening posture.

What’s 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, don’t 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 isn’t 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: Don’t 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

It's the capital letter shouting that I love so much.

Spent the day reacquainting myself with the world building lore of a series I’m working on. Realized it’s 250 some odd pages and growing and I only consider two books fully lored out. I might be in trouble here.

Don’t be confused, that lot is in addition to the hundreds of pages of actual writing in which most of that world building never even comes up.

It’s all the backbone for the series, notes on items or people who cross books, religion, magical system, and political minutiae… maps and literal building of the works on which the stories take place.

On the plus side, all that more forced me to create an intense series bible for reference. Might be the most organized my notes have ever been 🤣

Girls will be like Idk why im so unproductive recently and then you ask whats going on in their life and they list eight lifestopping crisies and then say 'yeah but i should be fine :/ '

[mythandwords]

I feel extremely called out by this post. Literally.

[awesomebutunpractical]

Valuable tip. Don't cater to your followers. You're not trapped in here with them, they are trapped in here with you.

Realized I’ve been off here more than on all year. I kinda miss the ole tumblr.

What’s everyone been up to?

My year has been a series of horrible events and I’m still standing. . . Or at least hobbling along!

[mythandwords]

An insult that resonates as truth.

I was having a conversation about recent world events and, in passing, said that the world was rife with stupidity.

Immediately someone said, “Rife? Who says that? No one has used that word in over 200 years. You speak like Shakespeare wrote.”

And I mean, it’s probably not wrong. 🤭

[mythandwords]

There are days when I feel as though my entourage gives me very little space 🤣
