Recenty I got told I have ""low bone density"" and I need to do more "high impact/weight bearing gym exercises". Except I hate doing gym things because there's SO much planning, executing, and recovery involved, when I could be in my nice warm bed. In my endeavor to find some exercises that don't I don't find boring, I found this wonderful FREE program put together by the CDC & Tufts University: Growing Stronger - Strength Training for Older Adults - CDC

It's wonderfully detailed with every step of the process, written so non judgementally + in a supportive tone for those of us who struggle with sticking with consistent programs, and it's even got nice worksheets to print and fill out!!

It's aimed toward an older audience, but honestly, it looks perfect to me for those of us who need a more structured format to just fall into on the daily, and for those of us who struggle with getting up and out of bed sometimes. Hope this reaches someone that needs it!

Is there anything I can do to help Palestinians besides call my representatives and beg them to stop killing people?

This is a great question. There are a few things you can do—just off the top of my head:

BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) https://bdsmovement.net/

Direct Action https://www.palestineaction.org/

Urge your University/School/Organization to put out a statement denouncing Israel

Organize a Protest/Participate in a local one

You might already be doing this but while calling your reps, tell them that as a voter, you're unwilling to support them in the upcoming election unless they urge the White House to take a stand against Israel and stop funding them

Share art/writing/films around Palestinian culture

If you're part of a union, ask them what they're doing to urge their industry leaders to take a stand against Israel + pressure the White House OR urge them to start a strike/walkout/etc if they're not doing anything already

Talk with your friends IRL about Palestine, whether in an activist capacity or watching a movie or literally anything

Reach out to a mosque to see if you can help them with anything

See if your city/state council has put out a statement in support of Gazans. If not, try to push them to do so.

Donate to Palestine Legal or Direct Action if you have some money to spare

KEEP TALKING ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know some of these don't feel like they have as big of an impact on helping Palestinians, but we do need to make an effort not to forget their humanity in the face of continued erasure and the media's sensationalist rhetoric.

Talking on social media and posting—while not seeming like a lot—does SO much. I know in USAmerica, it's like yelling into a void, but political analysts are saying that most of the "Global South" has completely lost any amount of goodwill it may have had the past few years. Hopefully, countries will start to put sanctions and embargoes en masse on the US and Israel soon.

Our goals here are BOTH short-term and long-term. We hope for the life and liberation of the Palestinian people, so anything that you can think of might help at some point in the future is encouraged to at least try.

If anyone else has any more ideas, feel free to reblog and add on. Thank you for asking, and here is to a liberated Palestine where Palestinians can live and thrive without fear.

It’s cool that the four main crops worldwide (corn, wheat, rice, potatoes) each come from a different one of the main origins of agriculture (Mesoamerica, the Fertile Crescent, China, the Andes). Everybody gets their chance to shine.

[femmenietzsche]

Actually, at least by weight apparently sugarcane also counts as a main crop. But since sugarcane comes originally from New Guinea:

The two centers of domestication for sugarcane are one for Saccharum officinarum by Papuans in New Guinea and another for Saccharum sinense by Austronesians in Taiwan and southern China. Papuans and Austronesians originally primarily used sugarcane as food for domesticated pigs. The spread of both S. officinarum and S. sinense is closely linked to the migrations of the Austronesian peoples. Saccharum barberi was only cultivated in India after the introduction of S. officinarum.[10][11]

S. officinarum was first domesticated in New Guinea and the islands east of the Wallace Line by Papuans, where it is the modern center of diversity. Beginning around 6,000 BP,  several strains were selectively bred from the native Saccharum robustum. From New Guinea, it spread westwards to maritime Southeast Asia after contact with Austronesians, where it hybridized with Saccharum spontaneum.[11]

that’s a fifth origin of agriculture contributing one of the main world crops.

there was some rain today before the winter storm rolled in and my fiddlin' friend and I took the opportunity of the moderate-by-comparison afternoon weather to film some atmospheric videos for our instagram.
