touching grass isnt enough especially if that grass is just a shitty ass lawn. you need to go touch native wildflowers and trees and shrubs. and then sabotage the machines that destroy them

Fat androgyny is so cool. fat people are told and shown time and time again that they’re only considered attractive when their perform binary gender- even within body positive spaces- but like. Have you seen fat butches? fat feminine men? fat trans and nonbinary people who fuck around with their presentation? fat gnc folk in skirts and binders and makeup and mascara moustaches and cool shoes and body hair and weird haircuts and nailpolish? fucking divine. iconic. magical.

ppl who don’t get cats will try to argue that cats don’t love you meanwhile cats will cry and cry and cry and cry like the world is ending until you hold them like a baby and give them a kissy on their perfect lil forehead

body positivity has largely failed because people started arguing for attractiveness and romantic prospects instead of respect and dignity
this is truly the best summary of what all of this SHOULD be about

A woman explaining how to pet a Mongolian mastiff. According to OP, this is Muyu and Mufang’s first Dahan (大寒; “Great Cold”; Jan 20 - Feb 3), which is the final term of the 24 solar terms in a year according to the Chinese calendar.

thank god for the mythbusters though because it used to be that whenever i knew i had insomnia i’d just kind of accept it and stay up doing whatever until my morning classes and spend the day feeling like shit
but then they did an episode where they established that even just fucking laying there for a half hour, not even sleeping just laying there and not even for an hour, makes a significant difference and you’ll feel way better
it has made a huge difference in my life to know that it’s okay if i can’t fall asleep, it takes a lot of the pressure off and ironically helps me fall asleep better
…i did not know this, thank you
If anyone wants to look it up, the episode was specifically the Deadliest Catch crossover ep, and the myth was that it’s better/safer when working a 30 hour shift to take a 20 minute nap every six hours rather than try to power through. They did an obstacle course test, one without naps and one with, and even though they couldn’t even sleep half the time the naps resulted in their scores doubling.
So actually I undersold it, even if it’s 7:40 and your alarm goes off at 8 just lie down and shut your eyes and it will still be better than nothing
This was immensely huge for me as someone with anxiety issues. I used to drive myself delirious trying to ‘calm down before I went to sleep’ by staying up and just working myself into a panic. Having this knowledge and knowing that laying down and closing my eyes is a better option and counts as rest was way more helpful, eased my mind and actually sends you to sleep faster.
I didn’t know this. This makes me feel a little better
