That sucked. Like really, really sucked.

Okay actually most of the run was fine, after l adjusted to the burn in my chest from the whiskey, aha. But the beer, by god, the beer.

It took me over ten minutes to drink it, and I threw up TWICE during, but I did, in fact, finish! (It just, you know, didn't stay down. And really sucked. Did I mention it sucked?)

Miscellany: I listened to the audiobook The Headmistress by Milena McKay while running, and did in fact have tacos after. And churros!

AMAZING. I should give you a special prize for "worst beer drunk" BUT WHERE IS THE PICTURE OF YOUR SWEATY AND DESTROYED, SEOLH

[thoughtfulfangirling]

@seolh This is so hard to guess! Especially for me! I notoriously guess wrong when it comes to picking out things Doc will love, so I feel like I'm very unqualified to say.

But if I had to take a guess, I'd say yes. Not only do I think Doc generally enjoys more when you don't info dump, I think she enjoys getting bits and pieces for character motivations as it goes. I would guess that she likes picking up what a piece of media is giving us about characters as they are now and reading into that to weasel out what might have shaped them that way.

This method, I think, sort of robs us of that process. Does that make it easier for kids? SURE! But in so many other ways, it really doesn't feel like this show dumbs things down too much for the sake of their child viewers. From what I remember, it actually has a lot of faith that kids can deal with high concept plots and characters and motivations. And I think Doc prefers things that do this and can do it from the outset.

I COULD BE ABSOLUTELY WRONG!

Especially because it ALSO depends on how else a pilot would have looked without that going on, and I'm not sure I can picture that all too clearly. XD

How to safely get rid of the 'promotional' dashboard clown with uBlock Origin (without needing to open tumblr and look at it)

alternate method to getting rid of the clown on dash for those with intense coulrophobia or unreality triggers, via the uBlock Origin browser extension:

1. Download uBlock Origin here (firefox) or here (chrome)

2. Click on the extension icon, then choose the cog icon

[ID: Screenshot of the uBlock Origin menu, with cyan circles over the extension's icon and the cog icon in the bottom right. /End ID]

A screen like this will appear:

[ID: Screenshot of the "my filters" tab from uBlock Origin's filter screen, showcasing an empty list to insert text in. /End ID]

3. Copy the following line:

||assets.tumblr.com/pop/src/components/one-piece/assets/toggle-dff697e4.png$image

edit: as of september 1st, new line to remove the skull (thank you to @nnwest and @sealie-seolh !)

||assets.tumblr.com/pop/src/components/one-piece/assets/toggle-6d176646.png$image

And paste it into the box:

[ID: Same screenshot of the above uBlock Origin screen, but now the list contains the copy pasted filter on the first line. /End ID]

4. Click "Apply Changes"

Afterwards, be sure to close any previous Tumblr tabs to ensure the save carries over- and the clown should now be permanently gone after opening a new Tumblr tab session

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

Sekian lama sudh tdk bersuara d cni. Ni mau sya ucap syukur atau ok. Enth sya tidak tau. Sya dan dia telah menjadi suami isteri yg shah skrg. Ttp seperti mana sya pernh katakan memang benar. Perubahan dia selepas mendapat penguatan, ya benar. Dia tinggalkan sya 3 kali. Dgn sbb enth kenapa. Ttp sya dpt rasakan seolh smelly fish behind the cover. Siapakah sya sebenarnya dihati dia? Seorng yg jujur dia pernh jumpa? Rasanya tidak, rasanya bukan sya, krn perna dia katakan, yg sya seolah2 menduakan dia. Yaka??? Betulka??? Enth la, mngkn usaha sya hanya tuhan dan iblis nmpk mngkn. Siapa sebenarnya sya dhati dia? Adakah seorng yg penyayang? Rasanya tidak bagi dia. Kerana dia prnh katakan yg sya tdk prnh ucapkan kata2 manis dan kasih dengan dia. Tidk kata2 panggil dia seperti, mummy, dear, sweet or baby or lov u n etc..yaka, atau dia lupa yg sya prnh katakan, sya hnya akan cakap begini kpd seorg wanita yg bergelar isteri sya. Atau keluarga sya. So masa tu dia bukan lg. Siou... sya bukn lelaki yg sempurna prnh ko jumpa.

Dr. Holligay Tries Things That Aren't Running: Boot Camp

This one is a bit of a cheat, because I do this class every week. But it, in fact, is not running, and is helping fulfill a bingo, so I'm counting it.

By its own admission, Boot Camp is an advanced class that is by most definitions the hardest class offered at the YMCA. It is an intensive strength class broken up by bits of sprint-style cardio. It's about lifting heavier, going faster, doing it cleaner. I always, always, sweat ONTO THE FLOOR in Boot Camp.

It's always done in stations, that you do in a rotation, and these generally include different parts of the body. Today had a lot of shoulder presses, and chest presses, but also a fair amount of FUCKING PUSHUPS and weighted reverse burpees. Interspersed with line sprints about every four stations.

The class is made for self-starters. Jessie, our fearless leader, says that her job is to keep "The laid-back pushing yourselves, and the little psychos from killing yourselves." You pick your own weight in each station. If you ask for a modification, she'll give it you. But also, she will call you on your crap.

Jessie has two sides. One of them is the "Fareeha Amari teaches a fitness class side" These saying include:

"You're not tired! We're fifteen minutes into class for god's sake." (ignoring that we did a quarter mile sprint followed by 30 jumping jacks followed by 15 jump tucks followed by 10 donkey kick jumps and THEN we headed into the lifting and burpees and whatever the hell else she had planned for us. )

"If it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you!"

"Doc, I thought you were a runner. Faster sprint!"

"Make this class worth an hour of your time! Push! Push! Push!"

And then she has the, "Honoring your effort" side. These sayings include:

"You're gonna feel so good about this in ten minutes!"

"You showed up for yourself today, great job!"

"Doc, your pushup progress is awesome!"

"Everyone remember this is against the you of yesterday, the you of last week, the you of last month. NOT YOUR NEIGHBOR."

It is the only class I take where I literally cannot run after it. I am blown out like a sprinkler system in October. I finish and I have NOTHING left. I am sore not even the next day, but the same day. I had to change my run training because I can't do speedwork for days after the class. The entire time I'm in class I am fighting it. At least once a month I almost cry from frustration because I can't physically do something, i can't push it any further. I am easily one of the bottom 50% of the class--this is a 95% Jock Class. It annoys the FUCK out of me.

I love this class! I feel like I've taken myself as hard as I can go, and since I started taking it regularly a little over a year ago, I have gotten much stronger and put on a few pounds of muscle. My goal at all times is to be able to beat up about 95% of my followers, and this aids me in that noble and lofty goal.

Jessie handed me my sticker before class today. She doesn't worry about me leaving.

[thoughtfulfangirling]

@seolh You are 100% correct! I felt like the show runners did really like her, but they didn't know what to do with her which is a shame.

Wolverine and the X-Men might not be a favorite show of me with any favorite interpretations of character personalities, but it did a really fantastic job utilizing Kitty's powers and that was really freaking cool!

Also today they could rightfully make her bisexual and bring Danielle back as her girlfriend. And obviously the show would have to have some queer solidarity and the lesbian Amara becomes a good friend and they hang out a lot! 😅

It's recently come to my attention that there's a petition on OurCommons to withdraw or repeal Bill C-10, Petition e-3379, which is open for signature until June 2. It would be great if this could get some more attention! (Not including the direct link so tumblr doesn't eat my ask. Apologies if you've already posted about it and I've missed it!)

Hey, Jet! How are Hot Pocket and Mina doing? =)

They’re doing great! Mina got to have a snuggle with Aunt Doc today, AND THAT IS A GREAT DAY.

Hot Pocket is, at the moment, being a little shit and trying to climb the curtains in the computer room. I also still can’t get his collar to stay on. HAVE I MENTIONED THAT CATS ARE NOT DOGS

seolh said: Mina and Howie loving to snuggle each other is TOO ADORABLE. Who usually initiates these snuggles?

Fuck me, I know, right?? It makes my heart squish EVERY SINGLE TIME.

It’s usually Hot Pocket that initiates, as Mina’s a bit too big to get where Hot Pocket’s decided to loaf himself. Though I have seen her curl up next to him a few times when he decides to lay on a bed (either ours, or hers). So mostly, it’s him coming to her, but whichever way it plays out, IT’S SO GOOD AND PURE

[wouldntyoulichentoknow]

I got to participate in Sparkle Sparkle this year and my sparklee was @seolh! I picked the prompt “snowball fight” and went for just some good fluffy goofing off :D I had a lot of fun with this - I hope you like it, seolh!!

As it turns out, Michiru has VERY good aim and Haruka is EXTREMELY impressed.

[howmanyheartaches]

I know right??? How did we get here from an episode about two teenage girls talking on the phone, walking through Tokyo?

Frankly, I haven’t been this mesmerized by an anime in a while, and I’m glad everything before the duels now match up the duels!!!

Book Meme: 1, 19, 29, 39

how many books did you read this year? 21. Easily the least I’ve read in a year since maybe 2015. :( 

What book did you finally read after putting it off for ages? I think the closest thing that applies is The Picture of Dorian Grey. I’m not sure that I had ever decided I Would Eventually read it, but I’d thought about it occasionally in the past. 

best book you had to read for school/university/work? I didn’t have to XD So the question doesn’t exactly apply. Sorry lol

What book had the prettiest cover? I don’t know if I’d even say it’s the most aesthetically pleasing cover to me, but Tithe by Holly Black is probably best to fit pretties of those I Read in 2020

seolh replied to your post “paksenarrion-reader replied to your post: Today...”

No idea what may have caused the change in behaviour, but my friend has a betta fish who is basically always that way. (Doesn't swim much, but still eats and reacts.) He's been that way for years, and still going strong!

That’s awesome! I know they can live long lives if kept well (I knew a guy in college who had his since the day he moved in to the day he graduated) so I just really wanna keep him in good spirits. But good to know that it’s not the end of the world.

smashtonian replied to your post “paksenarrion-reader replied to your post: Today...”

I'd suggest getting decor he can swim in and out of, also get some bottom feeders he can follow around and look at. I would suggest no smaller than a 5 gallon for a single male betta. We have ours in a 10. You just have to watch filter strength at that point because where they live naturally is pretty low flow/still. Cory cats make great tank mates for bettas.

Oh. Also try getting some melafix/bettafix to put a few drops in his tank. May perk him up a bit. Could be water quality

He’s got a nice rock archway that has some plants on it that he really enjoys either sitting on top of or sitting on the plants. I definitely at some point want to get him something bigger and maybe a tank mate but that unfortunately might have to wait until I can actually find space for him to go that’s optimal. 

I think you’re right about the water quality though. I tested it yesterday and it was pretty hard so I probably should find a new water conditioner to see if it helps soften it up some for him.
