If I walk on a treadmill while reading a very heavy hardcover book, will that count as upper body strength training?

Listening to a Dr Who podcast (not one anyone here has recommended to me, in fact I think I heard about it through a tumblr post,) and it's reminding me why I almost never listen to Dr Who podcasts or watch Dr Who youtube videos. It's because I just can't stand hearing so much objectively wrong information. Maybe it's due to Doctor Who being such a large and long-lived franchise, I know that I can misremember and get things muddled. But surely if you're publishing something you'd want to double check that you're not confidently emphasising incorrect facts about even basic things... and yet I feel like I see it with surprising frequency. It drives me crazy, please get a fact checker.
#that's said it's also the bad takes and bad attitudes#hearing dr who fans so eager to hate on writers and stories and act like their opinion is gospel always annoys me#I'll hate on dr who but I never want people to think my opinions are the only option or something they must agree with#my posts#talking of bad attitudes one of the hosts in this podcast is both acting like writing fanfic is an inherently inferior way to be a fan#and acting like Big Finish is inherently better and more canon than other parts of the Who EU#they don't mean any harm but they're finding so many ways to grind my gears#Im not going to list anymore examples because this petty vent post is probably already too long jsdklfj

"cast knives out 3" is a game my sister and i like to occasionally play to pass time and i think margaret qualley and lukas gage as chaotic con artist siblings is probably one of my favorite ideas from it (it is also crucial to this vision that margaret qualley still be doing her bonkers drive-away dolls accent)
#whether the brother has the same accent is optional. could be extremely funny if not#cast knives out 3#stephanie hsu and ayo edebiri as true crime podcasters is my other favorite one#pie tag#lulu speaks

😑 the seminar skipping beast has awoken within me
#um.txt#been feeling really bad this week and not done much work so idk whether i should stay home and study#bc the seminar technically isnt related to my degree and is an optional class#or whether itd be better to just go and be around people for a bit#my other plan is to just find a podcast that relates to my dissertation and go on a really long walk with it to reset myself a bit#i went on a 10 min walk yesterday but the weather was too bad

it's been 3+ years but i stay a jmart hater btw
#martin is genuinely one of my least fave characters every time he's there i get annoyed his role could've been combined w someone else's and#it would've been fine and all his fans are annoying cottagecore 'good cows' bitches who project onto him#literally if you want jon to kiss a guy there are better options like gerry or oliver . i don't want to see the protagonist of my horror#podcast in a healthy supportive relationship i want to see toxic doomed yaoi . i want him to fall in love w something he can never have#which will make him so much worse if he has to fall in love w something at all.#it's why the finale sucked sm i felt nothing when martin stabbed him bc it just seemed so melodramatic .#and one thing you should know abt me by now is that i love it when one of the tragic lovers kills the other at the end.#romeo.txt

#i think one thing i really didn't prepare for w overnights is just how fucking lonely it is. like yeah 80% of the reason i took it was to#get away from customers but like. it worked. and the night shift team is v v small. there's only 4 of us and we've never been scheduled all#at once yet. and usually we're running around on completely opposite ends of the building going long periods of time without#radioing each other. and then i come home all amped up and the rest of my house is still asleep. and then when they wake up#it's just to get ready and go and we don't really have time to talk. and by the time they get back i'm sleeping#and it's my first night off and i can't fuck up my whole schedule i worked so hard to switch over to w them flipping me all over the place#so now i'm just like. sitting in the half light trying not to wake anybody up not doing anything. the only places near us open are#gas stations and i can't exactly loiter there and what would i do even if i could. and it's too cold to go for a walk or to the park#or something. and i feel like i haven't talked to another human being about something that wasn't related to work in years#and it's only been a week.#and we can listen to music or podcasts or something but our carts and machines are so loud you miss half of it. and we can't hold#super long conversations when we ARE in the same room for the same reasons. plus we all want to die so none of us feel like talking.#and just. im tired and lonely and want to sleep and im already regretting this but i'd feel bad for backing out now when they have so#few options and i volunteered for it in the first place#and then there's also like. even just doing my usual solitary thing at home feels so much more isolated bc there's not the noises#of other people existing nearby. the nearest signs of life are some coughing and then a car on the other side of the block#just. what am i even doing here.#tag ramble

Can I be honest. I'm bored enough I've decided to start listening to mbmbam again. No other comedy podcast has ever hit the same way so anytime I need something lighthearted I gotta go back to 2018
#.txt#like all my other podcasts are like. media analysis. or political. or the one single true crime one I trust.#so it's nice to have an option that's . not. that

Podcasts are frustrating because I can’t listen unless I’m almost asleep or busy with my hands but whenever I try to think of something to do with my hands (other than art or maybe cleaning) it’s reading!!! Which does not go with podcasts! I can’t consume words x2 at the same time and I’m angry when I realize that 😠
#emma posts#adhd says you can’t listen to non music things unless you are doing something at the same time#how can we listen with EMPTY HANDS?!#books? go in hands. games? use hands. art? hands. but podcasts no hands!!!!!!#and yes this is frustrating me again because now I want to catch up on wtnv#and by catch up I mean re-start because I don’t remember where I was#unless Spotify remembers#it probably does but I sure don’t#I CANT HEAR WITH EMPTY HANDS UNLESS ITS TV WITH MOVING PICTURES#teachers who told me not to draw in class got exactly 0% info absorbsion from me as a kid#i guess I could start drawing again but it’s been awhile and I’m nervous#I can draw my regular stuff but new things#ugh#just holding a pen increases my attention immeasurably#I also need better meds#I do need to figure out my tablet I guess#one other option is pet cat which is my cats favorite#if multitasking was real I’d be able to consume even more media

In light of Duolingo laying off its translators, here are my favourite language apps (primarily for Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and te reo Māori).
Multiple Languages
Anki is a flashcard programme and app that's not exclusively for languages. While making your own decks is ideal, you can also download shared decks for most languages.
If you're learning Japanese, specifically, Seth Clydesdale has websites for practicing alongside Genki's 2nd or 3rd editions, and he also provides his own shared Anki decks for Genki.
And if you're learning te reo Māori, specifically, here's a guide on how to make your own deck.
TOFU Learn is an app for learning vocabulary that's very similar to Anki. However, it has particularly excellent shared decks for East Asian languages. I've used it extensively for practicing 汉字. Additionally, if you're learning te reo Māori, there's a shared deck of vocabulary from Māori Made Easy!
Mandarin Chinese
Hello Chinese is a fantastic app for people at the HSK 1-4 levels. While there's a paid version, the only thing paying unlocks is access to podcast lessons, which imo are not really necessary. Without paying you still have access to all the gamified lessons which are laid out much like Duolingo's lessons. However, unlike Duolingo, Hello Chinese actually teaches grammar directly, properly teaches 汉字, and includes native audio practice.
Japanese
Renshuu is a website and app for learning and practicing Japanese. The vast majority of its content is available for free. There's also a Discord community where you can practice alongside others.
Kanji Dojo is a free and open source app for learning and practicing the stroke order of kanji. You can learn progressively by JLPT level or by Japanese grades. There's also the option to learn and practice kana stroke order as well.
