I haven’t listened to the audio, because it’s too perfect seeing characters emotionally move their mouth with tears while being completely silent.

Have to take the kitten into the vet tomorrow. Our pet insurance covers his boosters, which is the reason for the visit. But we’re also fighting worms (side effect of being born feral), and that does have an up cost. Any little bit will help.

white people, i’m going to need you to change the way you react to poc calling you out on racism, or telling you not to say something because it’s racially inappropriate:

apologize and do better, but don’t repeatedly apologize and put it on the poc to forgive you over and over again

don’t make it personal. don’t make this about how you’re Oh So Socially Awkward and treat this as a form of social rejection. retract statements, decide to do better in the future, and move on

in the context of online spaces, if a mutual calls you out on racism, don’t go crying all over the dash about how worthless and stupid you are etc etc and making yourself the victim. this is especially rude when your mutual of color can see it!!

whether intentional or not, repeatedly bringing the incident up where the poc who called you out can see it - is a form of guilt tripping. don’t do that

don’t make excuses. yes, you did something wrong. no it does not mean you are irredeemable garbage and that the poc who called you out hates you and doesn’t want to be friends anymore. again, Do Not treat this as a form of social rejection. it cheapens what happened and what could’ve been a fruitful lesson on being better about race becomes about your white tears

Some eaiser variations of push ups to help you build the strength to do a traditional one!

[moniquill]

I don’t generally reblog ‘fitness’ stuff but gaddamn could I use some more arm strength.

[the-goddamazon-deactivingsoon-d]

Push-ups are my worst nightmare. I can only do 44 before I pass out on the floor.

[maxxiegalaxy-deactivated2022032]

“I can only do 44” hahaha omg I can’t even do one.

[o-lascaux-o]

yes good

I was always frustrated how my P.E. teachers wanted all of us to go “all-or-none” and basically hurt ourselves without letting us build up from square-one like in the first gif.  Then they’d fuckin yell at us for not doing it right >:|

Knee-pushups is not square-one.

[arkilliandragon]

When I got my first personal trainer, she had me doing push ups almost standing upright in the weight lifting bars so that I could do 15 reps and 3 sets of them. It’s more about the technique of the push up, and if you’re pushing too much weight, you can’t exersize the correct muscles within their tolerances. This post is pretty important tto know cause of that.

[jhameia]

I was introduced to the knee push-up last year and it was such a fucking game changer. I had NO idea it was possible to work those same muscles just with a slight variation in position. 

[personal-scientist]

I wanna just verify that these are excellent for building strength, both as someone who took weights class in high school with a good teacher, and as someone who’s had a lifetime of physical therapy (not for my arms specifically, but I’ve spent a lot of time in sports medicine centers). And again, if the vertical one in the first gif is difficult, you don’t even have to lean into it like that. Start standing, and only lean as much as it takes you to lower towards the wall.

And remember, many exercises can be modified in this way! I did an image search for “modified pull up” and got exactly what I was looking for right away, which is this:

Doing pull ups on a lower bar, or from the straps with handles that gyms sometimes have (called the TRX - they can also be used to support yourself during squats and some balance exercises) is a lot easier than jumping straight into vertical pullups, and lets you build up that muscle with exercises that are still comfortable and safe for you, so you can do more sets of more reps.

As a general rule, always start with lower-strain exercises and practice good form before you work your way up. You don’t want to have to unlearn bad habits that could lead to injury later as the difficulty increases.

Here are push up and pull up progressions!

Story time:

I had a shitty PE coach in the sixth grade who berated me for not being able to do a single push up or touch my toes, for not being able to run a complete mile. She wouldn’t let us do “girl” push ups (knees).

Next year I had an amazing PE coach. When he noticed that I couldn’t run a complete mile, he reached out to my parents and suggested that I might have exercise induced asthma (spoiler, I did.) My first week with that inhaler cut my mile time down by a minute. He would run the mile with us, jogging with those of us who were struggling and encourage us.

Thanks to him and that inhaler, by the end of the seventh grade I could run a complete mile in about eight minutes. During the winter months (Michigan) when we couldn’t run outside, we had to run around the gym for 20 minutes. By the end of that winter I was able to jog for all 20 minutes. By the next year, I was able to run for all 20 minutes, and at the end of that year my mile time was just under 7 minutes.

At the start of the year, he told us that if we couldn’t do “normal” push ups, then it was okay for us to do “girl” push ups. He told us that, on average, girls have a lower center of gravity than boys and that this meant it was more difficult for us to keep our hips up and our backs straight. He focused on helping up improve our arm AND core strength so that we would eventually be able to do “normal” push ups.

I started that year being able to ZERO normal push ups. By winter I was able to do exactly ONE. He gave me a high five and told me that I had improved 100%.

ALSO, the next year I developed tendonitis in my right knee. I came in with a doctor’s note and he was so proud of me that he proceeded to tell the entire class they should all be proud of me for taking care of my body. It was extremely embarrassing at the time.

Basically, good PE teachers who actually understand the human body and won’t try to push you past your limits are extremely important and I was so lucky to have one.

[imfemalewarrior]

That makes all the difference in the world and applies to gym buddies, physical therapists, and personal trainers as well.

a lot of ppl in the notes of the previous post are mentioning museums hoarding stolen cultural objects which is important beyond measure but museums shutting down due to lack of funding will not result in repatriation of cultural materials, they would most likely be auctioned off to private ultra-wealthy collectors to recoup some of their debt and we'd never find these objects again let alone be able to repatriate them. i understand the desire to say 'fuck museums let them die' for this reason but it won't have the result you think it will, and it will also mean that all of their ethically sourced and donated materials (which for most museums are the vast majority of their collections) will no longer be cared for by experts but again, sold off to private collectors who can do whatever they want with them or deteriorate in storehouses indefinitely. this would be catastrophic for public history and collective knowledge-sharing across the globe across cultures, and museums in post-colonial and run by/for racialized or otherwise oppressed ethnic groups will fall first because they receive FAR less funding than the large western institutions. just repeating phrases and sentiments you've seen online as a form of performative activism without knowing anything about what you're talking about does more harm than good and doesn't make you look smart or clever just foolish it's so deeply annoying and frustrating

[handweavers]

i don't know why all of you seem to think the only museums that exist are the massive western imperial institutions that have historically dealt with stolen artefacts, the majority of museums are Not these large institutions and there are museums across the globe in every country that require funding to preserve That Country's Own Material History. stop acting like you know everything because you read a twitter thread about it oh my fucking god

hi so everyone's probably aware of what happened in lebanon today so if you're reading this please spread awareness:

the air is currently filled with toxins (nitric acid to be specific) and its not safe whatsoever so if you're lebanese:

1. please stay inside and close every door/window, the fumes are fatal and inhaling them could kill

2. if you have pets keep them inside at all costs

3. if you have to be outside remember to take precautions and wear gloves and a mask (make sure your mask isnt loose too) and stay away from anywhere that has pink/red smoke as its a remnant of the chemicals from the explosion

[weedbrownie-deactivated20211009]

Oh btw Yzma is a golden example of a likeable non sympathetic villain. The audience knows she is totally evil and pretty much un redeemable but the writers and character designers did such an excellent job of making her so likeable and visually appealing A fucking plus

[weedbrownie-deactivated20211009]

Kronks redemption arc has yet to be rivaled nothing can ever fucking compare.

[i-feel-fantastic-deactivated202]

OP did u just fucking call Yzma “visually appealing”?????

[weedbrownie-deactivated20211009]

In terms of character design Yzma is visually appealing, the artists did a great job picking out colours and perfecting her silhouette. Using those design principles, they created an expressive villain that is fun to watch on screen.

[angelbabyspice]

op is absolutely right in that observation, good character design is about good use of shapes, curves and angles. Yzma is a fantastic example of that.

[mamaduafe]

A d we can’t sideline Eartha Kitt for literally breathing life into her character to the point of perfection. Yzma was really was an exemplary villain.

[tygermama]

‘visually appealing’ does not equal ‘want to fuck them’
