Say it with me! Wheelchairs aren’t sad! Mobility aids aren’t sad! Mobility aids are instruments of freedom!

This child who came to my house tonight is literally the funniest human being on the planet. She complimented me on having both lollipops and mini Three Musketeers available because "a lot of houses these days don't give you a fruit flavor option." She was very solemn about this.

ppl talk about the difficulty of writing characters smarter than yourself, but the real challenge is writing a character who is funnier than you are

Somehow I went my whole life thinking that The Metamorphosis, by Kafka, was going to be an 800-page tome about a man slowly becoming a beetle. I was surprised to find it’s a short story, and comes on quite suddenly. Which means as a writer I’ve discovered a gap in the market for a soul-crushingly long beetle story

Shoutout to the two coworkers today who casually announced that they were voting for Trump, then asked me who I was voting for. I told them "I did early voting, and I voted for the candidate who isn't going to make it harder for me to exist as a trans person" and both of these women had to awkwardly try and assure me that it wasn't personal, and it's not like they hated Harris or anything, they actually do like some things about her, and they definitely don't hate me, of course not, it's just that, you know, well, it's like, well, you know, it's just, like, and no matter how many times they tried to pass the shovel off to me, I just let them hold onto it

As a biochem student and certified nerd, I feel the responsibility to bestow this knowledge upon as many people as I possibly can:
You do NOT need to “earn” meals through exercise.
You know why?
Because exercise only accounts for about 20% of your calories. The majority of the calories your body burns, it uses to keep itself alive. It uses them to power your brain and metabolism. In fact, your brain ALONE is responsible for spending about 20% of your calories.
Your BRAIN, just to keep itself going, uses up just as many (or even more!!!) calories than all the exercise you do.
Your RESTING metabolic rate is responsible for burning between 60 and 75% of your calories.
You don’t just deserve food because you’re working out. YOU DESERVE FOOD BECAUSE YOUR BODY NEEDS IT TO STAY ALIVE.

#lol#although i gotta admit. i went to see the misical on theaters. i sort of skimmed the wikipedia synopsis beforehand.#i already knew some of the songs#but i somehow managed to feel like i hadn't really spoiled myself too much?#like i didn't really get the love triangle or the deal with vanessa and tin man until i watched the thing#of course i knew the ending. the fact that galinda lies at the start. things like that#anyways people are too obsessed with spoilers nowadays. it's not about the destination it's about the journey
