rock climbing

hey there! welcome back to the cafe!

i heard that you picked rock climbing from our menu! that's great! let’s chat about why rock climbing is an awesome hobby. 🧗‍♂️

rock climbing is fantastic for both your body and mind. it builds strength, endurance, and flexibility, while also boosting your problem-solving skills and mental focus. plus, it’s a great way to connect with nature and meet new people who share your passion for adventure.

ready to start climbing? here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get going:

find a climbing gym: start with indoor climbing to learn the basics in a controlled environment. many gyms offer beginner classes and have all the gear you need.

get the right gear: you’ll need climbing shoes, a harness, a chalk bag, and a belay device. most gyms rent these out, so you can try before you buy.

learn the basics: take a beginner’s class to learn essential techniques like belaying, knot tying, and basic climbing moves.

practice bouldering: bouldering is climbing without ropes on shorter walls. it’s a great way to build strength and technique.

try top-rope climbing: once you’re comfortable with bouldering, move on to top-rope climbing, where you’re secured by a rope from above.

join a climbing community: connect with other climbers to learn from their experiences and find climbing partners.

explore outdoor climbing: when you’re ready, take your skills outdoors. always go with experienced climbers and follow safety guidelines.

here are a couple of youtube videos to help you get started:

Yk, hearing about Mt. Fuji breaking its 130 year streak of snowing genuinely frightened me. No matter how much we scream at the people leading our countries, our WORLD, about the damage they are causing to it, nothing changes. Of course, I realized that this is absolutely just a money problem. Big corpos only care about money, that's already been hammered into our heads enough.

But that made me think... If they're only going to care about preserving the environment if it affects their money, then let's MAKE it affect their money. I know I'm only one person, and I don't have that loud of a voice... But I want to make a difference. I want EVERYONE to make a difference, because not using plastic straws or recycling our stuff at home doesn't do anything. They WANT us to think it's our fault, when the very factories and facilities they make money from are what's destroying our planet.

I don't know what to do exactly... Again, I'm only a small voice on Tumblr. I'm 17 and still have a whole life ahead of me that I want to experience... and I'm sure everyone here, and in the wider world, wants nothing more than to have a future that isn't cut short, because of silk-suited motherfuckers that see more value in our money than our life. The world isn't ending yet, and there is no way in hell I'm going to hand my life over to the corporate pigs that want to drain this planet until it's empty.

So everyone, let's do whatever we can to hit the corpos where it hurts. Let's make it so that they can't ignore us anymore.

Soul food. Fluffiness against the dread and doom-scrolling...

i think maybe we could spend less time thinking about things that make us angry and more time thinking about other stuff

[ramblingsfromthytruly]

i know this is hypocritical of me to say since this is tumblr, land of the chronically online, but social media is really rotting my mind. i'm saying this as someone who only has youtube, pinterest & tumblr. i just can't seem to focus and always reach to my laptop or phone the instant i get slightly bored or unoccupied. so, baby steps of control, i'm gonna close everything except my tab for music and i'm going to study now :)

I focus in really tight on my Circle Of Control and my Circle Of Influence. I do what I can where I am, and I try to do something useful or kind every day. I swear at the news.

And lately, I remember that I am a student of history, and that there are many MANY cases throughout history, American history AND world history, where regular people just buckled down and survived, helped and loved their friends, families, and extended community.

We're not special. And it does me nor anyone any good to worry about what might be done, when we don't KNOW yet.

And block the despairing "we might as well give up now" blogs. All they do is deal psychic damage, and if it acts enough like an enemy, I treat it like an enemy.

Be one of Mister Rogers helpers. Actions engender hope, hope allows further actions. Take care of yourself too. Nothing more subversive than cozy, sassy self care when an enemy wants you to curl up like a pillbug.

anybody who figures out how to acknowledge & be mindful of our negative outlook for the future while also being sane enough to live their lives and obtain happiness should give me a call. i can't figure out how to do both of these things at once it's always gotta be one or the other and switching between the two every few weeks is not fun

And as of 10ish minutes ago, everyone may now start to look at polls- up until now, nothing has been set in stone.

There's about a 3 hr window until we start getting finalized results, assuming that nothing has gone wrong and all mail ballots have been collected since some are traveling by plane and ground respectively.

If you need to shit, piss, make a drink, roll a blunt, or make a last minute sacrifice to the gods- now is the time to do so.

Also one last thing before I go

If Republicans start saying they won before all the states are finalized, ignore them.

Do not humor them for your own safety.
