reminder to:

straighten your back

go take your meds if you need to

drink some water

go get a snack if you havent eaten in a while

maybe wander around the house/stretch a little if you’ve been sat at the computer a while (artists especially: sTRETCH THOSE WRISTS)

reply to that text/message from earlier you’d forgotten about

maybe send a nice lil message to someone having a bad day?

[mouthfullofsxnd]

I just would like to thank everyone who ever reblogs this so that it somehow ends up back on my dash because I usually need the reminder (especially the drinking water one)

[tol-critter]

A reminder.

This two-episode arc from DS9 has come to mind more than once in the past couple of weeks, because I remember watching it when it aired and thinking it was ridiculous, to think that people would be so dispossessed in 2024 in San Francisco.

In 2024, I’d be in my forties. My generation would be in power. Surely that wasn’t the kind of world we’d go on to build.

...

So here we are, just four short years before this is set, twenty-five years after this aired. And it frankly seems optimistic. But also awfully on the nose.

And strangely makes me hopeful.

Today would have been Breonna Taylor's 27th birthday.

She was an EMT/ER tech, an aspiring nurse, and an essential employee working the frontlines of covid-19. On March 13, 2020 she was shot and killed by police during a no-knock raid while she slept in her home.

The man the police were looking for was not in the home, nor did he reside there. He was, in fact, already in police custody.

Breonna was guilty only of being a black woman in the presence of the Louisville Metro Police Department.

No arrests have been made. No one at her home that night has been fired. None of the officers present were wearing body cameras.

I was a rodeo queen. Once. A couple of decades ago.

This a hard ‘no’ from me.

Let’s say your matrilineal line is fairly consistent and everyone has their daughter at 25. So four women in your matrilineal line are born every hundred years. In a thousand years, that’s only 40 women. Like the math is so simple and yet ? You don’t think about it. So in 2000 years, 80 women. So basically, 0 AD started roughly about 80 mothers ago. That’s it.

[hawthorn56-deactivated20230602]

I’m……… i’m a little drunk n cannot deal with this right now

[thevideowall]

Yep

The advent of agriculture around 9500BC was about 450 mothers ago

[quousque]

you can’t just say shit like that without a warning

[annechen-melo]

Many, many mothers ago, when the world was new….

[systlin]

Many of the notes here are saying “But women used to have kids earlier”

Okay. So, assume every woman had her daughter at 20 instead. 

That’s five mothers in a century. 

Fifty mothers in a thousand years. 

One hundred mothers in two thousand years. 

That is five hundred and seventy five mothers since the dawn of agriculture. 

Less than six hundred women, between you and the dawn of civilization. 

You are never so far from your ancestors as you think. 

[esper-aroon]

Okay but “x mothers ago” is the best damn dating system, and I’m gonna use it SOMEWHERE.

My tummy doesn’t have to be cute. It holds my internal organs. My thighs don’t have to “crush men’s skulls”. I use them to carry myself. My stretch marks don’t have to be tiger stripes I earned. They came when I grew.

Stop.

feeling this

[truffledmadness]

This!

I feel like even body positivity is too focused on, like, the appearance of the body. I know I became a whole lot happier with my body when I started thinking of it less in terms of how it looked (to me or anyone else) and realized, that, like…

When I feel cool breeze on my skin on a really hot day, my body did that for me.

When I step into a bath after a hike, and my muscles ache, but in a good way, and the steam all around me makes me feel like a flower blooming, my body did that for me.

And the hike before it, and standing on a large rock breathing the raw winter air seeing the power of the half-frozen river. That too.

When I’ve had a plate of pasta puttanesca, and I chopped and sauteed the ingredients and now I’m full-but-not-uncomfortable, and warm all over, and perfectly content, my body did that for me.

My body doesn’t have to look awesome to be awesome. It’s awesome because it’s where I live.

[isohels]

Best comment.

[blackgirlspiriting]

“[My body is] awesome because it’s where I live.”

Words. To. Live. By.

[willowofthehearth]

Finally, some real body positivity

[renega]

Ok but still...my thighs can crush you. My biceps can throw you. Let’s just be clear. It took me a long time to love that about them, lean in, and not want to be more delicate.

Athena blessed her with the ability to protect herself and men beheaded her for it.

[takealookatyourlife]

[bloodasredlipstick-deactivated2]

That’s actually a really intetesting intpretation of it I hadn’t thought of. Most people seem to think Athena turned Medusa into a gorgon as punishment for defiling her temple, but thinking that she did so to protect her from being abused again is interesting and I like it!

[gabyluvsxena]

Athena’s hands were tied. Yes, she was a powerful Goddess, but she was very much a woman in a “boys club”, and the true offending party (don’t think for a moment that Athena blamed Medusa for being raped in the temple, Athena knows better) held all the cards. There was nothing that Athena could do to punish the true criminal, and she was expected to punish Medusa by everyone else. What’s a Goddess to do when she cannot punish those who need to be punished and is expected to punish not only the truly innocent party, but her most beloved follower? Use that incredible brain power she had to protect Medusa at all costs, and of course the men would see it as punishment, to be have her beauty stripped from her and sent to live in the shadows. Medusa should have been KILLED for supposedly defiling the temple, whether she truly did or not, but she was given the gift of life, and the ability to protect herself and her daughters (who she bore thanks to Poseidon). This is why Medusa’s image was used to signify woman’s shelters and safe houses.

Medusa means “guardian; protectress”, and she was.

Memorial Day is a hard day for people who’ve attended too many funerals at military cemeteries. Airborne is a tight community, and Memorial Day is a hard day for combat veterans. For many years it meant hosting bbqs where people drank too much and laughed too loud and were disoriented by their survival. And then the suicides began to pile up and it meant broken bottles and closed fists and grief you could drown in. But it was still a community.

Shout out to everyone on the homefront who makes it through the roughest patches. And a special hat tip to the military spouses who covered one too many bruises with concealer until they couldn’t anymore. Because the grief is still there. And the community isn’t. And it’s a sad, lonely time.

[renega]

This is great. And true 😂

     The crows had scarcely started on their corpses. The thin ropes cut deeply into the soft flesh of their throats, and when the wind blew they twisted and swayed. “This was not chivalrously done,” said Brienne when they were close enough to see it clearly. “No true knight would condone such wanton butchery.”      “True knights see worse every time they ride to war, wench,” said Jaime. “And do worse, yes.”      Brienne turned the rudder toward the shore. “I’ll leave no innocents to be food for crows.”

[irisharchaeology]

Bees were so important in Early Medieval Ireland that they had their own set of laws the ‘Bechbretha’. These judgements covered such topics as ownership of swarms, theft of bee-hives and neighbours’ entitlements to honey from a beekeeper #WorldBeeDay
