Neil Banged out his tunes today, on a train you have the comfort and relaxation to bang out your own tunes

#I'm surprised I didn't see the Neil Cicieriga 'happy day when a thousand people tag me in a photo of rat' post this year #But Neil Gaiman getting dragged into it now is very funny #How many other Neils are there to bother

I think a lot about gaining weight as a form of healing

i hate to say it but. the healthy eating people are kinda onto something. if you can figure out a way to get all your greens and proteins and fiber in ways that taste good to you you start to prefer the healthy option over junk food 7/10 times

#one of the wildest things I've learned about diet #and i'm not talking diet as in ''cut back and lose weight'' i'm talking diet as in ''the collection of things you consume'' #anyway one of the wildest things I've learned about your diet is that you tend to crave the foods you already eat #like. you don't get a craving and then go eat that food. you eat that food and then later crave that same food #i won't go into details of how that works but it's related to gut bacteria #anyway. the thing to remember about this. is the fact you control your cravings by controlling what you eat #and it takes less than a month to reset your cravings and gain new ones #so if you want to start eating more veggies and healthy stuff? #you can start eating lotsa veggies and for the first couple weeks you might feel like you're forcing yourself to do it #but then soon enough you actually successfully train your body to crave those veggies #and then it's like. well now that you genuinely crave veggies. it's a lot easier to eat more veggies #but yes on the subject of this post if it's between a bowl of fresh fruit or a bowl of fresh fruit covered in cream and sprinkled with suga #both will give you the nutrients you need. if the latter is the only way you can make yourself eat fruits then do that. #sugar doesn't cancel out the nutrients

Putting this out there for any couch potato/desk-job worker who's trying to be healthier. I started doing this a couple months ago and my doctor thinks it's cool, and I've definitely noticed improvements in my sleep quality and my energy during the day.

I have an alarm that goes off at the top of the hour, every hour. When it goes off, I go for a walk around my apartment complex (5-ish minutes) and then get a drink and get back to work.

Over an 8 hour work day, that's about 40-ish minutes of walking, and 8 glasses of water (or other liquid). Boom, I'm already done with daily recommended exercise and hydration by the time I'm done working.

The only thing my doctor recommended I add is some kind of arm exercises that I can do while I walk. So now I fidget with a small resistance band while on my strolls. That's 40 minutes of full-body exercise scattered throughout my day.

The point is that if you are like me, and you don't like the idea of committing an hour of your free time to changing clothes, doing a sweaty workout, showering and changing clothes again... this is a valid way of getting exercise. It doesn't have to be intense, and it doesn't have to be all at once. Pace around at work once in a while. Do three squats and wall pushups every time you use the bathroom. Whatever works for you. Everything counts.

#mine #advice #workout #exercise #healthy #health advice #hydration #doctor #medical #yes I do occasionally make exceptions like if I have a meeting at the top of an hour #technically my alarm is for 7am and I hit snooze. And it snoozes for an hour #so when it goes off every hour I hit snooze again and then it goes on indefinitely until I explicitly make it stop #and I choose not to make it stop until I've had my 8 walks (approx 5000 steps on my step counter) #so most of the time what actually happens is by the end of the day I'll look at my step counter and be like #''oh I'm at 4200 steps. I'll just take a 10 minute walk'' #a 10 minute walk *some* evenings is still easier to commit to than a 40 minute one *every* evening

and hbomber guy reblogged it and said:

highest of honors

#like the time I made a post calling out a pun in a character's name and story arc #that would go over your head unless you were familiar enough with historic literature #and the author herself was the very first person to interact with my post with a simple ''like'' and no comment #can not describe the emotion I felt #me: ''i can't BELIEVE this woman went through ALL that story telling to set up the STUPIDEST pun oh my GOD'' #her: ''lol. like''

“In a remarkable instance of the geopolitics of mobility, the American space agency, NASA, found itself in conflict with its Soviet counterpart as the superpowers attempted to plan a historic linkup in space in 1975 between an Apollo and Soyuz spacecraft.The linkup was seen as an important part of the process of détente during the cold war. The conflict was over the design of the docking mechanism to be used in the linkup. Orthodox docking systems used a male part and a female part. The male part was seen to be active and would penetrate the female part, which was considered passive. The male part would move and the female part would remain motionless. The metaphorical implications of this arrangement became all too apparent during the planning of the Soyuz-Apollo mission and, to put it simply, neither party wished to be penetrated. To overcome this problem, the superpowers designed a whole new androgynous docking system, which featured interlocking capture latches where both sides could be active or passive.”
