That comment is spot on AND sciatica stretches are legit. The best treatment for sciatica is get stretchy.

For anyone who doesn’t know, Sciatica is pain due to compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from your buttocks down the back of your leg. The reason this stretch is helpful is because the sciatic nerve, after leaving your spinal cord, immediately runs just underneath - and may get compressed by - the Piriformis muscle deep in your buttcheek, which helps you externally rotate your hip. (If the muscle is super tight, your toes on that side might actually point further out when you lie down compared to the toes on your other foot, jsyk).

If the above stretch ain’t compatible with you for reasons like having bitch ass knees, here are some alternative and amazing stretches for the muscle in order of easiest to hardest (but imo least to most helpful) to perform:

However, just keep in mind that none of these stretches will help you if you have a herniated disc, which compresses the nerve roots that protrude from the spine itself! For that you’ll for sure need some different medical intervention.

Have fun!

Outstanding!

Reminds me of the time we dared a brick oven pizza restaurant to make a pizza with so much garlic we couldn't finish it.

Boy did they deliver. The pizza had (no exaggeration) a solid inch of chopped garlic on top. It was fucking delicious. Multiple times we spotted restaurant workers peeking at us from the kitchen, with an obvious "my god they're actually eating it!" energy.

Of course we left a massive tip. Leaving the place we felt like triumphant Olympians gold-medaling the Pizza Event.

Only one problem.

This was a lunch time experience, and we worked at a small software development firm and there was a scheduled all-hands meeting after lunch. Our supervisor (politely) asked us to leave the meeting because we reeked of garlic.

That sounds more like a solution than a problem to me, the meeting hater

How Bloodymary works in my head

Iron lung's quiet rapture was caused by the Pinhole God. He saw nothing there for there WAS nothing.

We know the Pinhole God has weird time powers (Simon simultaneously seeing his past and future self)

The Astrophage was made by the Pinhole God somehow sent to the past before space travel and mars colonies.

To everyone in Iron Lung the rapture was instant. To PHM it was slow and painful.

Iron lung plays out as normal. The SM-13 explodes.

The God Promised that Simon would live, so he ends up on Erid. I like to think AT-5 was Erid's moon so the jump wouldn't be as "big".

PHM plays out the same way too.

But because of Grace and Rocky's discovery, their two stars are the only viable ones (and Tau Ceti of course).

Maybe they send Taumoeba to other stars too.

From here there is a timeline split, Simon is displaced in time. He saved HIS timeline, bringing back much needed information. Or atleast gave everyone hope.

Ryland Grace and Rocky saves THEIR timeline. Protecting as many stars as they could.

It's important to me that Simon is fucked up. Like a half mutated eel tree. He's skeptical and willing to throw down.

He produces oxygen :3

Simon thinks he died and Grace is an angel showing him mercy in the afterlife. He doesn't think he deserves it.

He's not religious, but after meeting God he believes in something.

Grace is happy to have another human/ human adjacent person to talk to. Especially one who went through something similar. (Simon doesn't talk about the horror he went through, he thinks Grace is omnipotent and already knows. When he find out Grace is just human he has a *small* crisis)

Grace lives happily on Erid. Loves teaching. Loves the beach.

I think Simon would think the beach is his penance for his past. Gentle, mocking torment.

Rocky is there like an aquarium owner trying to get his fish to breed.

Simon learns that Grace is regarded as Savior of the Stars along with Rocky and has another *small* crisis.

He has so much devotion respect for both of them.

When Grace learns about the good and bad that Simon's done he also respects him. Still cares for him. (That man is a middle school teacher. I know damn well he wouldn't blame a brain washed child living through the apocalypse)

Simon sleeps outside so he can see the stars/ not be enclosed in small spaces.

Grace has Scary Dog Privilege.

I'll die on the hill that Simon is also really fucking smart. LET THEM BE LITTLE SMARTIES TOGETHER.

Basicly Simon is mentally and physically fucked up, met God, thinks Grace is an angel of Grace, and just wants to "live" the remainder of his days in peace.

Grace saved the Stars with Rocky and lives his best life on Erid with his best friend and scruncly... roommate, teaching the young minds of Erid.

Rocky is banging their heads together to make them kiss like Barbies.

Bloodymary Youtube Stars

[Edit: I like to think Simon just fucking pops into existence in the bio dome without reason. Just *poof* here ya go Grace, new traumatized roommate. Emphasis on "mate".

Another thought is that blood tree grown on Erid's moon (what i head canon as A-T5) kinda clips through time? and Eridian scientists analyze it and find Simon. They study the radiation from him and discovered how to cure radiation poisoning, among other advancements.]

I’m blindsided by authors using ai in their works. how can readers and writers tell if the writing is ai generated?

I’m gonna assume writers know whether or not their own works are ai because they either write them themselves or have ai write for them.

but as for readers (or writers who read other writers’ works), no, you can’t tell unless the writer themself says their works are ai generated. anything else is witch hunt, speculations and possibly wrongful accusations — all of which harm the writing community as much as ai does, if not more.

so if at any point you think an untagged work is ai and if that bothers you, quietly click away. but you can never know for sure based on vibes. because everything ai writes, a human writer does. that’s what ai was trained on and what it was trained to mimic.

I’ve already talked more about this here, here, here. and more on my other blog @writingdose here and here.

littlepagodatree

You can notice certain telltale signs in some of the writing, such as short sentence stacking and usage of "not x not y but z" structures. But you have to be familiar with AI writing styles to be able to notice that.

allthingswhumpyandangsty

I’ve been writing “not x, not y, but z” way before gen ai became a thing. I’ve read works that have “not x, not y, but z” in them, and I’ve read those works way before gen ai became a thing. I’ve also been using em dash way before gen ai became a thing, and I’ve seen em dash used in so many written works way before gen ai became a thing. I know for a fact some human writers actually prefer short sentence stacking too.

every “ai telltale” is something humans write before, otherwise ai wouldn’t have been able to mimic it in the first place. because it needs human-made works to mimic on.

when I say ai witch hunt, speculations and accusations harm the writing community as much as ai does, if not more, “not x, not y, but z” and em dash are one of the main things I’m talking about.

seananmcguire

As I saw someone say recently, when you start declaring "obvious tells," from punctuation to sentence styles, to be proof of AI, what you're actually spotting is trace amounts of the original source material.
