you don't have to do RICE (rest ice compression elevation); it seems to have proven ineffective every time they checked

'graduated return to activity' is part of the deal now aiui. basically "when it feels okay it's fine" + "if activity makes it hurt somewhat, but it's back to normal pain within 24 hours, that amount of that activity is fine" <- this makes judging how much activity to do very difficult, sorry

ibuprofen/nsaids are fine if they make it feel better but they aren't compulsory/don't seem to have any long term effect on healing; same with ice, compression, elevation

it sucks though and i'm sorry you're dealing with it

try to not overdo it! says idiot who always overdoes it when they get injured.

i think my sister in law had that injury last summer & she's back to running now, so i can ask what the pt prescribed her

huh! Well I'll do the ones that are easy to do I guess and not worry about the rest?

Right now I don't feel at risk of overdoing it, I just wanna lie down forever... walking downstairs just now to fetch the food I ordered felt horrid. I think it feels worse than earlier now :/ I'm not goin to work saturday if it's anything like this

@robustcornhusk:

Hello I'm Cassian (@cassolotl) and I do the Gender Census, and this is literally my partner Avery (@averixus), no joke, who does the Tradescantia Hub! :D And also congratulations you are the first person who lives in the Venn diagram overlap of finding both of our impersonal sciencesque projects immediately recognisable! I'm not sure what exactly you have won but it is probably very nerdy?

how is your son stuffed? he looks firm, like a puffed cheeto. i adore him

He is stuffed using a lot a lot a lot a lot a LOT of polyfill! Something like 3+ bags. He's HUGE and he's HUGGABLE

This isn't so much social skills, so much as a skill/piece of knowledge useful for having social skills: When people on tumblr say "message me", do they mean "send an ask" or do they mean "that button, usually in the top right corner, that says 'message'; use that"? I'd think the first, but also given that the first contact is often a question, I'm not sure...

I think it varies. A lot of people still haven’t gotten around to using the messaging system. I don’t think anyone will think you’re doing something /bad/ if you use their dispreferred method.

I think it leans more toward “use the message button”? That’s definitely what I mean when I say it. I much prefer talking to people on messenger rather than via asks, because ask conversations are way harder to keep track of.

i wanted to send a show-off hand picture

Really beautiful critter! An excellent use of a hand. Love her dots...

[nohoperadio]

hello! i saw this and thought of you

I really enjoy the precedent suggested by your and remi's asks from today where going forward my blog might just wholly become people sending me increasingly esoteric references to past posts of mine, and it's all totally incomprehensible to anyone who hasn't memorized my entire œuvre. Nice moon btw!

i wonder if seeing my hand on your blog would make it emotionally like someone else's hand

already it's less familiar

Everyone should send me their hands so they can stop identifying with their bodies and achieve no-self! Lemme know how it feels, and ty for the big onion it's very on brand of you

here's a picture: the superstitious placebo bullshit done to me by the pt; it's very effective placebo bullshit

is this the cup thing :o I imagine it being in the "weirdly satisfying" bucket of physical experiences regardless of bullshit levels. I'm glad you think the placebo bullshit is effective anyway, that's half the battle with placebo bullshit aiui
