10 Things To Do If You Feel Like Binging

I feel kinda offended.

real ciel might be dead but not as much as kuro fandom is currently.

Never related to a song as much as I related to "mind is a prison" by Alec Benjamin. Like dude, "back in my shell, all by myself, alone with my thoughts again. Guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out". How can u not relate to this amazing art??

so apparently my city has a superhero. and a supervillain. who like, do activism. and. my mom. is dating the supervillain.

I made a video about everything culturally right and wrong with Mulan 1998!

What you can expect from this video:

PS when I first liveblogged this movie on Twitter, two actual artists who worked on Mulan showed up and added their commentary!

(all included on screen in the video!)

peter parker was created by stan lee and steve ditko to send ONE message and it was about how no matter circumstance anyone can become great. spider-man is supposed to be a story about a poor jewish boy that slowly becomes a better person and learns the value of responsibility. with great power yadda yadda.

the mcu stripped spider-man of everything that made him unique and special (lower class, abrasive personality, ruthlessly bullied in school, self-made) and turned him into a easily digestible middle class tony stark apprentice that 1) didn’t even make that suit himself 2) relied on tony for everything. they LITERALLY took a character that has been canonically poor for DECADES and wiped out all of the story that comes with that just so that rich-ass tony stark could be his ‘mentor’. peter parker never had a mentor. that’s the entire point

mcu peter parker is very obviously a ripoff of miles morales’ story (superhero mentor, ned is LITERALLY miles’ friend ganke, etc) and it pisses me off because not only did they whitewash miles morales, they erased every part of peter’s story that made him significant since nineteen sixty fucking two . good fucking evening

"I'm worried that if I take a break, I'll end up quitting!"

So let me reassure you here - there is no such thing as quitting fitness. You can stop following a specific exercise routine or relax your food restrictions, but you can't quit your health. It doesn't work like that.

If you're worried that skipping your workout today will lead you down the path of never working out again, let's unpack some of that anxiety:

Do you dislike your exercise routine? Are you doing something that you find uncomfortable, boring, stressful or a chore? Then perhaps it's time to find a new endeavor! Moving your body should be fun! Consider trading in some of that running for dancing, solo weightlifting for team practice, or treadmill time for outdoor hiking. Find something that you can look forward to, so that working out is less about maintaining a schedule and more about doing one of your favorite things.

Do you feel naturally "lazy," like you get pulled into your phone or bed and then have a hard time getting up to move? Think about what you're getting from these quieter activities: Relaxation? Socialization? Escapism? Identifying why you tend to default to "wasting time" can help you figure out how to acquire the same satisfaction from exercise.

Do you have a specific goal that must be hit within a restricted timetable? And you're worried about backtracking and failing to get there in time? Examine your exercise schedule and trust the process. Any planned routine worth its salt will account for the fact that the average person will miss days here or there: the individual workout isn't what's important, and won't impact your overall habits and progress.

Do you feel anxious, upset or depressed when you miss a workout? Do you rely on exercise/dieting as a stress relief, and feel overwhelmed without it? Having only one coping skill can potentially set you up for failure in the future. Examine your daily routine and consider what other coping methods you could implement in order to make your feelings and health more manageable overall. It's worthwhile to always have a contingency plan in case your preferred stress relief is unavailable, and it can lighten your mental load so that you don't have to rely fully on one activity.

It's okay to step back from exercising. It's okay to take time off. When you're ready, you can always start up again.

So, India is dying.

Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.

If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.

A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.

There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.

There is no plan.

Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.

Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.

We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.

This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.

We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.

People are dying.

People are dying.

People are dying and there is no plan.

More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.

My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.

Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.

But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.

She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.

So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.

If you can, donate.

Or spread the word.

Help. Please.

Since TSATS is coming out in 12 days, if anyone wants to reread all of Nico’s story so far without having to committ to rereading all 15+ books, a couple months ago I made a Nico di Angelo masterdoc with all his mentions and appearances. Every single one.

It’s got all of PJO, HOO and TOA. I didn’t get around to the shorts stories yet so it’s still a work in progress, but the main series are all there. 

Anyway I’m dropping the google link below.
