the team had fun making some silly beart last night
based on this delightful photo
#Functional beart#Since it’s a drink coaster#The team was advised to put it up for auction with the proceeds benefiting a bear rescue charity (bearity)#We don’t think it’s good enough for anyone to actually want to pay money for it#But it’s a funny idea

every so often i will see a post from a leftist on this website that is so egregiously ableist that i remember that like. oh yeah the userbase of leftists on this website is violently anti-disabled people and will jump at any chance to demonize any of us for any reason. i just forget that fact because i'm extremely dedicated to curating my space
i'm paraphrasing here but i saw a post that said, "every time i see an American [disabled person] mention being scared about the election because they're afraid of losing their benefits i have to laugh. anybody who wants blood-soaked money from the US government deserves to starve" which. like. goodness that's a lot to unpack. i think we should burn the whole suitcase instead !
#i inserted [disabled person] because they used a fucking slur instead and i didn't want that in my post#like i feel like there should be room for disabled people like me whose lives literally entirely depend on accessing said >#> extremely limited benefits in conversations about whether voting in this election makes you complicit in genocide#which like! i do understand. i do. it's nauseating to think about what this shit ass country is doing. it's horrific. i do not blame anyone#> for not wanting to be a part of that. *and* i am also terrified for my own life because i remember the first time trump won it suddenly >#> became IMPOSSIBLE for ANYONE to get on benefits. EVER. and so many disabled ppl i know went to renew benefits theyd had for decades >#> just to be denied. one of whom was a below-the-neck paraplegic. he died because he lost those benefits!!! because trump won#i really do understand why people dont feel right voting for harris. or why they don't vote at all. i truly do. but holy shit i am so scare#and yes! i am aware that people in palestine and gaza are suffering so much worse. and i wish i could change that#but every single person in power in the US is pro-israel and eagerly drinking the anti-palestine kool-aid. no matter who wins >#> things will not change in that part of the world. and it is infuriating. when the revolution comes this will change. but it hasnt.#the revolution will not save me as a physically disabled person. it will not save any of us. we do not matter to leftists. i am sorry but >#> this is the one thing i have learned after being in leftist spaces for over 10 years. and posts like the one i mentioned prove it#so i am very sorry. i really am. for being physically disabled. but i cannot survive another 4 years relying on my parents for everything#if trump wins i will be killing myself. this is a promise. i cannot do that again#i know it makes me a bad person to be afraid that harris will lose. but people on the left already think i'm a bad person for being disable#i want the genocide to stop. i absolutely do. i also want to survive. i am terrified that the US leftists will sacrifice disabled people#like me so they can feel good about being put in a real life trolley situation#again. im sorry. im so fucking sorry. i wish i was a better person. i wish i was able to give more. i know that if i was just a good#person i would be able to have a job and give to every palestinian gofundme on my dash. i would be able to do more than my daily clicks >#> and reaching out and calling representatives that don't care. if i was a good person i would be able to convince my parents that z*onism>#is deeply fucking racist. and that israel is wildly racist and killing palestinians for fun. if i was a good person i would be able to make#>them leftists too. im sorry. im sorry. im sorry im not good enough. im sorry that im scared. im so scared and it's not right for me to be#when so much worse is going on because of this countrys bloodlust. im sorry that im benefiting from being born here i dont want to be#im sorry for not having any other options. if i was a good person i know i would have them. im sorry. god im sorry im so fucking sorry

#cw for disorder brain#i feel like i might benefit from adding a second electrolyte drink per day (dr recommended) as the first noticeably improved some things but#i am too scared#its hard enough to convince myself i 'need' the one and if i do 2 i will go through them twice as fast and it feels greedy#like as a broke college/post college kid i drank water and instant coffee only for years im not from a household that spent money on#soda or juice i feel massive guilt at the idea of two sweetened drinks a day and the fear of added salt and sugar is so real even though#they are demonstrably helping my body i also just hate relying on things??#horrific. anyway in an absolute deadlock with my brain over this right now

one criticism of iron widow: I think revealing that shimin was physically forced into alcohol dependence by his captors is a weak narrative choice. taking away that last bit of his autonomy was necessary to getting zetian to fully sympathize with him (she would never be comfortable with a guy she even suspected had been manipulated into sacrificing women via his addiction. and why should she?), but the overwhelming subtext of constraint surrounding shimin's alcoholism was already there. zetian has already seen shimin's cell, that he's not allowed to leave unless he is literally bound, she already knows he's had all forms of art and self-expression besides the chrysalis (where he's used as a human weapon) taken from him. is it so hard to believe that someone would organically develop an addiction in those circumstances? is shimin's addiction more sympathetic and easier to understand if the liquor was forced down his throat, as opposed to something he turned to in response to---I don't know, being kept in a cell the size of a shoebox for years when he's not released so that he can be exploited?
#bolo liveblogs#iron widow#I just think it was a missed opportunity. especially in a novel that focuses on why people in hard situations make the ''wrong'' decisions.#it would've been an interesting thing to explore! how culpable *is* li shimin for his actions as a man who benefits from violent patriarchy#but who is exploited by other men for being an ethnic minority?#I want him and zetian to really sit down and talk about this. maybe even disagree a little.#and li shimin's alcoholism could still be used as leverage and encouraged by his captors even if they're not literally forcing him to drink#that's already bad enough. I would like to stress that the teenage prisoner being baited with alcohol is already bad enough.

One thing about me is that if there's a pointless rewards program that most people don't know exists, I'm gonna devote way too much time and energy to it so I can cash in 😈
#a few years ago my health insurance had this thing where you'd get points for watching videos about the benefits of drinking water or w/e#got a big TV‚ a Samsung tablet‚ and a Fitbit from that one#taco bell once had one where you'd get ''game pieces'' for purchases (or by request via mail)#and i probably got $200 worth of free food‚ gift cards‚ and merch#right now I'm gaming the fuck out of my employer's similar program#we get points for participating in this message board where we post about mindfulness‚ career goals etc#i have enough for a $100 gift card so far. and only like 1% of the whole company are participating at all

Feeling miserable and sick. In psychological and physical discomfort. I can't tell if I'm having brain zaps or seizures. Unsure if anything I'm going through is from going off Effexor, going on Zoloft, or quitting taking the lamotrigine. I cannot wait until this blows over.

public transit... *collapses to the floor*
#rich ppl have a disdain for it and it's so nonexistent in white suburbia but then you go to where rich people vacation.#public transit is so good at where they have vacation. free shuttles every 10 20 minutes. free! free!!!#I'm struggling to put the words together to make myself sound coherent but ultimately it's hypocrisy of the upper class#it's probably a bigger issue than just that really. obviously policy is not entirely dictated by individual and idk#it's just rahhh i wish public transit was like that everywhere! buses to go around towns! subways connecting towns! and cheap!! free even!!#there's also the issue of the loss of public spaces and loss of the concept of public in general#the other day there were kids screaming obscene stuff on the train for a whole 30 minutes. ppl were annoyed and everything#but one person's defense of their behavior on the train was dude you're taking public transit. and idk why that's. idk.#is a respectful peaceful transit also now a privilege only the rich can enjoy? only if you can afford a car and parking in the city?#the argument is that precisely because it's a public space that we all benefit from we have the duty to respect and protect it#because if the public space is uninhabitable then that's when inequality grows very apparent#you have to maintain it for the sake of everyone but especially those who might not want to or can't access the private#these kids themselves can't drive a car. if the public transit was hostile to them what other choice do they have for commute?#it's a failure of our society and education that we don't understand how important it is to protect the public spaces#by ridding of the public it's a fuck you to the children the elderly the poor the disabled or anyone caught in an unfortunate circumstance#twist your ankle accidentally? sucks for you. there are no benches here. to sit you must go buy a drink at a cafe.#car broke down? too bad. take an expensive uber to work because the public transit is broken down#having good public facilities is a safety net against drastic inequality and even then we don't have it done well enough#but societal issues take time to fix and I'd like to hope it's going in a better direction

kinda cringe to shit on self dxed people unprompted
how dare you say I piss on the poor
#looking at you soulfully in the eyes and telling you as a generalization#that usually white women on tiktok who say neurospicy and diagnosed themselves with ADHD at age 19#regardless of whether or not they have adhd#AS A GENERALIZATION#were not weird and ostracized and utterly failed by the system enough that their parents or school counselor sent them to see someone#and thusly have an experience with disability that isnt even close to comparable#to a disabled person who's entire life has to be worked around their disability and the barriers it presents#like 20 year old skinny white woman influencer serial number 3825 who takes ritalin to clean her room#and gets 3.7m likes on a 15 second long tiktok about the lemon water she drinks on 'overstimulation days'#is NOT gonna say SHIT to my 8 inpatient hospitalizations and disability benefits about being ~neurospicy~#is her experience real? probably.#does it give her more than like 2% more credibility about accessibility issues than like. your neurotypical uncle?#no absolutely fucking not#imho#anyway i love seeing all the reading comprehension on this here site that is so famous for its genius in literary analysis 😍😍😍

the post-grad unemployment blues have not been helping my annual summer depression, so my brain has been... not great. my lease is up in just a few days, but i can't move into a new apartment until i know where i'll be working. i'm having to put all my shit in storage until i can find something. it's been rough.* but i spent a few days at Books' this week and even though everything sucks, they did a lovely job cheering me up. when i got to theirs, they surprised me with a silly and refreshing beverage i'd previously mentioned in passing that i wanted to try** and this book that they picked up from work.*** then they took me to their campus so we could play board games on the massive group study tables.**** we got dinner at my favorite ethiopian place in the city. we cozied up in bed and double featured they cloned tyrone and the lighthouse (which they hadn't seen before). i finally got to an alamo drafthouse weird wednesday! we saw let the corpses tan,***** after a delightfully nasty late night diner breakfast. we played mario kart and i lost, terribly, but still had fun.
i also had an interview yesterday, for a job that sounds like a great fit for me.****** all of my interviews so far have been strange, for one reason or another, but this one may have been the strangest- because halfway through, the interviewer started pitching me a different position that sounds AMAZING.******* i'd be happy with either. i really hope this works out. i should be having a second interview next week.
i'm back at my apartment now and i have to be out by monday afternoon. i'm glad to be leaving this place, even though things are still so up in the air. and even though i haven't been my best lately, i'm glad to know that i am still loved.
#*i am about to be lower case h homeless but i am very lucky that i have enough support to make it through this without tremendous difficulty#however i might have to go back home which... i do not feel ready for. and i don't want to be away from Books for too long#**i'm in t*xas so there are hardcore topo chico heads and i had never had it before#i didn't care until a friend was talking about how much she hated it bc it was like drinking tv static#***i had already packed my books and only left one fiction book unpacked to read while i'm going thru this and this one is verrrry differen#which is good i need variety!#****everdell is like Our Game and the wee tables in my apt are only just big enough to play on (no room in Books' tiny studio to play it)#and Books also has the spirecrest expansion- but we hadn't gotten to play bc we didn't have the space!#it was so fun to actually do such a big game (it took maybe two hours and the entire six foot table lmao)#(i won but it was close! which usually happens when we play games we're well-matched but not too competitive so it's always a fun challenge#***** LOVED it#******similar to but more intense and challenging than my fav internship rotation. at a cool and pretty unique hospital in a great location#*******full time w benefits and travel. it sounds... SO good for my adhd. lots of novelty and adapting to new situations!

5 Tips for Shedding Belly Fat After 50
The aging process can bring about various physical changes, including a shift in where the body stores fat. For many people over the age of fifty, this can result in an increase in belly fat. This not only affects appearance but can also have negative impacts on health. In this article, we will provide five tips for reducing and eliminating belly fat after the age of fifty.
Watch Your Calorie Intake:
To shed belly fat, it's essential to be mindful of how many calories you're consuming. Aim to eat fewer calories than you burn each day to create a caloric deficit. This will force your body to tap into stored fat for energy. Keep track of your caloric intake using a food diary or smartphone app.
Incorporate Strength Training:
Strength training is crucial for building and maintaining muscle mass as we age. This type of exercise helps to boost metabolism, making it easier to burn fat. Aim for two to three strength training sessions each week, focusing on all major muscle groups.
Increase Your Fiber Intake:
Fiber is an essential nutrient that helps to promote feelings of fullness and can prevent overeating. Foods high in fiber, such as fruits and vegetables, and whole grains, can help to reduce belly fat by promoting weight loss. Aim to consume at least 25-30 grams of fiber per day.
Reduce Stress:
Stress can trigger the release of cortisol, a hormone that can cause an increase in belly fat. Reduce stress through regular exercise, meditation, or other stress-management techniques.
Stay Hydrated:
Drinking enough water is crucial for overall health, and it can also help to reduce belly fat. Aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water each day, and avoid sugary drinks that can lead to weight gain.
Conclusion:
Getting rid of belly fat after the age of fifty may seem challenging, but with the right lifestyle changes, it is possible. By incorporating a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and hydration into your daily routine, you can reduce and eliminate belly fat for a healthier, happier life.

Hey I haven't gotten paid and won't for a while while I'm starting at my new job, if anyone wants to help a broke trans woman pay rent and buy food my venmo is @bees4bees
#i got this job to get benefits for my surgery#and im getting them in time which is so awesome#but they delayed my start for 2 weeks and started me on an off pay cycle#and getting through these 12 hour shifts with not enough food or drinks is really really hard
