Here are some posters he uploaded in an update for ease of sharing, one of which can be printed out.

I have it in good authority that everyone who donates gets a -terrible- joke in the thank you. You should totally donate a dollar just to see what joke you get.

Hey my birthday is going on and I'd love if you could help me get a wheelchair so I can maybe visit the aquarium or the park or just go on a little walk around my neighbourhood.

Apparently there's an event in my local park this weekend. According to the poster there are 30 varieties of cider and axe throwing. Seems like a fantastic combination.

[sewickedthread]

Hard to believe, but there is cider made that's not fermented. Just, really robust apple juice.

[adventures-in-a-world-of-fiction]

It's in the UK, and the word cider is used to refer to the alcoholic drink. Maybe one or two of the 30 varieties will be non-alcoholic in the same way that you can get non-alcoholic versions of beer, but I'm assuming that most, if not all of them, will have alcohol.

Oh, dear. Good luck & hope medicos are on standby.

In 38 years of life I have learned 1 thing;

If anyone is ever training you to replace them in a position and tells you 'its an easy job I don't do much' what this means is that you are about to spend six months to a year catching up on all the stuff they didn't do and sorting out the stuff they did poorly.

In related news I finally managed to finish un fucking my predecessor's lack of a filing system.

[hungrymilliek]

And if they start a sentence with "You're not supposed to do it this way but...", you're about to learn some shit to make OSHA go:

[systlin]

My job is literally in safety and emergency management and that phrase makes me break out in hives. Which is to say that you are entirely one million percent correct.

[bisquid]

Alternatively by 'an easy job where they don't do much' what they mean is that they've got so much unwritten knowledge and experience stored up in their heads that they *genuinely believe* it's an easy low effort job and then leave you with a learning curve like a rocket launch and frantically spawning spreadsheets of all the shit they know off by heart

[sewickedthread]

And they really needed to hire 3 people to replace & do that work of that one person who had it so memorized & streamlined that it was 'easy.'

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

From the OP: "If you sit at a desk or stare at your phone all day, this is for you. Here's how to undo the damage: - Banded Chin Tucks - Strengthen your neck flexors and fight forward head posture - Banded Pull-Aparts - Target your rotator cuff and improve shoulder stability - Banded Abduction - Activate the midline of your scapula for better posture - Lateral Deltoid Raises - Build shoulder stability and control - Banded Up-and-Overs – Boost scapular mobility and range of motion These simple banded drills will help you stand taller, move better, and feel stronger - even after hours at a desk."

Some of these are the same or similar to the exercises my physical therapist taught me.

Made a cross body phone bag for an elderly friend who lives alone.

Wove body panels & flap on small frame loom, lined flap with felt (for stability), lucet braid trim & button loop on flap, lined with layered felt & minky (minky so phone slips out easily & layers for padding), & loom knit icord strap (with defunct charge cord inside for stability).
