play to your strengths, but not by the rules

i've wanted to make little art pieces for my own fics for so long and on a whim decided to just start with this one, so here we are :)

for any hypermobile folk thinking about using a mobility aid: I've been using a cane occasionally for the past few months and I've had to replace it.

So my two tips if you're also hypermobile and needing a cane:

Get one that has a height option shorter than you need based on your height. This is most relevant if your wingspan is more than your height.

Pay attention to handles! Offset has been best for me, but there are also options designed for Carpal Tunnel that are also good for hypermobility (though more expensive)

The more common handles are called derby handles and look like this

There are a few ways to grip it and they all messed with my wrist/finger joints in different ways

Putting any pressure on the cane just went directly to my wrist--and I already draw and type a lot. I actually dislocated my knuckles a few times while holding it, and now I consistently dislocate a few joints that I didn't used to 🙃

And the new one has a handle like this

Which allows me to hold it like this

It's much more comfortable and easy to walk with.

The other problem I've had is the height. Every listing will give "suitable heights," but for hypermobile people, height isn't the most accurate measure. Hypermobile people often have Marfanoid features, which includes longer arms that average. The grip of your cane should be at the crease of your wrist with your arm relaxed.

The first cane, although made for 5'4 and taller, was still about 2" too tall for me (and I'm 5'6!). Might not seem like much, but it made me bend my wrist more than I should. The second cane I got had to sacrifice folding for more height options. The shortest adjustment is 29" and I have it a little taller than that.

Hope this helps someone! Mobility aids can be life-changing, but it's super important to know how to find the right kind for your needs.

(This expression got me 😳… if I got murdered by him I think I’d be ok with it.)

I don’t know why I have to say this but support small artists!! Support artists who don’t have 1,000, 30,000 listeners on Spotify!! Support your local musicians and muralists and craftsmanship!! Support small Etsy and local shops instead of SHEIN and Temu (Obviously if you’re able to, this is not a classist page).

Recently I’ve found this absolute gem of an artist scrolling through Spotify, and to my surprise he���s only had 10-14 monthly listeners and produces music akin to 90’s rap. His “Crucifix remix” has been blasting in my car for the past week, and it’s actually incredible how many things he covers in his music from discrimination in so many shapes to our broken school system and so much more and it’s genuinely so fucking good. So much positivity in such a negative world. It’s so comforting to hear, especially growing up on west coast rap like Tupac, Snoop, NWA, etc its my fucking jam. just thought I’d share this with y’all

Thought that Israel is a land of desert and camels? Think again! Mount Hermon, Israel's highest point, defies this stereotype with its stunning snowy landscapes and ski opportunities.

Located in the Golan Heights, near the borders of Syria and Lebanon, Mount Hermon is a unique winter wonderland in the Middle Eastern context.

Mount Hermon stands as a testament to Israel's diverse geography. It's a place where snowy slopes coexist with desert sands, offering a unique winter experience and serving as a reminder of the natural beauty and resilience of the land.

Standing at approximately 2,814 meters (9,232 feet), the summit of Mount Hermon straddles the borders of Syria and Lebanon, with its southern slopes in Israeli territory.

This area transforms into a bustling ski resort during the winter months, from December to April.

The mountain's snowfall, a celebrated event in Israel, provides the perfect conditions for skiing, snowboarding, and other winter activities (when we get enough snow that holds...).

Beyond recreation, Mount Hermon is ecologically significant. The melting snow feeds into the Jordan River, contributing to the region's water supply. This aspect underscores the mountain's role as an essential natural resource.

For Israelis, Mount Hermon is more than just a peak; it's a symbol of natural beauty and diversity. It offers a rare experience of snow and winter sports in a country largely characterized by warmer climates. Visiting Mount Hermon has become a beloved winter tradition for many, providing a glimpse into the varied landscapes that Israel offers.

The Blessing of Unity (Psalm 133)

To meet with God is to experience an abundant life and joyous unity. It is to be blessed, having a settled peace in being with God and God’s people.

How very good and pleasant it is    when kindred live together in unity!It is like the precious oil on the head,    running down upon the beard,on the beard of Aaron,    running down over the collar of his robes.It is like the dew of Hermon,    which falls on the mountains of Zion.For there the Lord ordained his blessing,    life forevermore. (New Revised Standard Version) In the ancient world,…

Language of Flowers: Field Lily

In the language of flowers, each day has its own flower. For today, November 13, that flower is Field Lily, which signifies humility. Image above from Wikipedia. In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus mentioned “lilies of the field.” Tulips, poppies, daisies, and other wildflowers have been suggested as candidates for “lilies of the field.” Did tall white lilies once grow in the fields and terraces…

people who enjoy middle grade books please read Hide and Seeker by Daka Hermon so i can talk to someone about the last chapter

Har Dov (lit. Mount Dov) is the westernmost slope of the Mount Hermon. Standing over 1,500 meters above sea level, the mountain range is named after Dov “Dubi” Rodberg, a Golani officer who was killed on the mountain trying to evacuate a wounded soldier.

After Israel bested Syria in the 1967 Six Day War and gained control over the area, the IDF established an array of army bases on Har Dov, whose commanding position and height grants the IDF a strategic lookout over Southern Lebanon. 

Har Dov also has religious significance. Mount BiTarim, the mountain on which the Biblical Covenant of the Pieces (Brit Bein HaBitarim) between Abraham and God is said to have taken place, is one of the mountain peaks of Har Dov. 

The Sheeba Farms, a small geographical area claimed by both Lebanon and Syria – and won by Israel in 1967 – is situated in what Israel refers to as Har Dov. Today, Lebanon often uses the Sheeba Farms as a casus belli to continue its war against Israel.
