Oooooo. This is a delightful play with form.

[menlove-archive]

honest to god can’t stop thinking about this song about jeff bezos by philip labes (link takes you to his spotify). it’s such a good example of politically driven folk music.

[kaizykat]

Lyrics:

Jeff found a genie in a bottle Who said, “I can give you anything you ask” “You can have your wishes three And a million more for free It’s unlimited, just set me to the task.”

Well, Jeff thought a while, Said, “I want houses, “I want boats, I want fancy modern art, I want tickets to the Met, I want my own private jet, And a rocket into space just for a start.”

Well, the genie waved her arms and made it happen His every wish bolted from the blue And folks all over town grew enamored, gathered ‘round To admire the man whose wishes had come true

They said, “Let’s hear it for the man who has everything! By good fortune he’s been set so far apart.” “Yeah, let’s hear it for Jeff who has everything! ‘Cause his wishes are only at the start.”

Well, Jeff heard their shouts and he grew worried He said, “Everybody’s getting in my way.” The genie smiled as before, “You’ve got a million wishes more. You can even give a bunch of them away.”

Well, Jeff got confused and sorta quiet ‘Til he finally said, “I have just one wish more.” “I am satisfied, so I wish that you would die So you cannot grant wishes anymore.”

Well, the genie’s eyes got big and sad and shiny ‘Til she finally said, “Your wish is my command.” And with an effervescent sigh, she disappeared before his eyes And no wishes were ever granted there again

So, let’s hear it for the man who has everything! By good fortune he has set so far apart Yeah, let’s hear it for Jeff, who’s got everything! Every single fucking thing except a heart

while you were attending therapy i was studying the blade

[glasspostings]

what do you mean i need better coping mechanisms

[dancinbutterfly]

>a wild therapist has entered the chat you need an additional coping mechanism studying the blade is a DBT principle called Building Mastery - wherein you engage in anything that is practical during which you gain skill and can actively see yourself progress - which is resilience building technique by which you shore yourself against vulnerability factors that make it harder to regulate emotions and manage activities of daily life and interpersonal interactions effectively. if you continue to study the blade while engaging in therapy, it will in fact make your therapeutic session more effective because having a skill that you pursue builds self-esteem and is a foundation upon which other coping skills can be built. so not better coping skills, blademaster, additional ones. you are already heading in the right direction and you have proven you have the tenacity to apply yourself to one discipline. now show us what you can do when applying yourself to your healing.

Gay women are allowed to do whatever

[primordial-fungus-monolith]

“she blew up a planet” okay and? your homophobia is showing

[smindersonfan]

Lesbians can’t blow up the planet, that’s evil. No MATTER their sexual orientation.

[primordial-fungus-monolith]

No it’s fine

Keep moving J002E3, this is Earth’s turf.

[explorerrowan]

We really do owe the Moon a lot. I mean, she's HUGE compared to the sorts of moons a planet like ours usually gets. A planet our size can usually expect a couple of decent asteroid captures, but nothing like her. And because she's so big, 1/4 of our mass, her gravity deflects so much space crap from coming near us. She's like a big, burly knight with a big shield. I like her.

@voynasreststop

Actually, also,

[voynasreststop]

At least I have a coping mechanism.

If you’re consistently trying to stand with straighter posture but slouch when you forget or get tired, try Wall Slides!

It’s a simple way to improve shoulder mobility, strengthen our posterior chain, and stretch our anterior chain.

Note that there are many possible causes for poor posture. For example, you may have some muscular imbalances that require more condition-specific stretches. Wall slides may or may not help you with this.

However, learning to do this exercise with good form can work as a good mobility benchmark for healthy humans, so it may still be worth your time to learn!

One time I shared a post that contained (unbeknownst to me) incorrect information about how big anglerfish are and people sent me anon hate about it for years and accused me of being the center of a conspiracy to spread fish-based misinformation, I would occasionally get messages in my inbox out of the blue like "You're a terrible person for telling lies about fish and I hope you die," and I think that that more than anything else is the real Tumblr Dot Com experience

[natalieironside]

Anyway anglerfish are fucking huge. They're born the size of a Ford F250 and grow up to be six times taller than God.

[schmaniel]

no, you're thinking of sunfish.

[natalieironside]

That's less than half the size of your average anglerfish

[saxophonechihuahua]

anglerfish, at their absolute largest, barely exceed a centimeter in length. i hate you and please delete your blog

[natalieironside]

That's technically true but who's to say how big those centimeters are

[ofbodiesofcities]

are they smooth?

[natalieironside]

Every which way, just like their very close relative the shark

[endreal]

Centimeters are related to sharks???? 😯

[natalieironside]

yeah "centi" is Greek for "shark"

[natalieironside]

The smallest anglerfish is ten thousand apples tall
