I’m a queer cripple who can’t make rent this month. If you’re able to donate, anything helps. More info on me and my conditions can be found on my about page and on @wheelchair-training-wheels
🎶 Who captures fish raw with two sets of jaws? That’s a moray! 🎶
Look closely – but not too closely – and you can see how the purplemouth moray eel gets its name. This is one of several species of moray eel that can be found in the reefs of Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary.
“What you’re looking at is a salt circle, a traditional form of protection—from within or without—in magical practice. In this case it’s being used to arrest an autonomous vehicle—a self-driving car, which relies on machine vision and processing to guide it. By quickly deploying the expected form of road markings—in this case, a No Entry glyph—we can confuse the car’s vision system into believing it’s surrounded by no entry points, and entrap it.”
-James Bridle
using salt circle motor runes to trap driving AI is the most cyberpunk thing I’ve ever seen

Man, when I was like 16 I got so sick of being made fun of for being the fat kid that I took an axe down inna woods, chopped down a tree, and started doing log-lifts all the time. I got strong as fuck, but I didn’t lose no weight. I actually got bigger.
Same thing happened when I got into fighting. I got even stronger, and I got *fast*, man, and nimble, like a cat. Still chubby.
Body-building culture is a bunch of crap, my dude. Functional muscle is not necessarily toned or lean. You can be swole as hell and still be heavy. And that’s cool.
Embrace your inner barbarian. And when fatphobic little gym twinks try to body shame you, you should DESTROY THEM with your MIGHTY AXE
Can comfirm, i am Quite Fat ™ but i still hit my punching bag hard enough last week make it touch the ceiling and broke a finger in the process
You know, I train with (martial arts) a bunch of dudes, and a few bodybuilders have showed up over the years.
And every damn one of those huge shredded motherfuckers has the endurance of a fucking newborn puppy. Fifteen minutes into warmups and they’re panting for air like like they’re about to die. I’ve sparred them and every one of them telegraphs their moves about two weeks in advance, and are slower than my dead grandpa because their huge useless muscles get in the damn way.
Now. I also work with a couple of guys who are not weightlifters. They do, however, do very physical jobs and are Big Dudes. Picture this sort of build.
No abs to speak of, a bit of a tummy, and those motherfuckers can pick up one of the weightlifters and throw them.
And they’re fast. Like, unfair fast.
Bodybuilding culture is bullshit. Embrace your status as a giant barbarian and if anyone gives you crap throw them off a mountain.
This is true for all humans, too!
At my heaviest (well over 300lbs) I still ran an 11 minute mile (pre-disability). And even when I was at my most active, and training intensely, I was never hardbodied despite working out full time. Functional muscle for me looks like horse legs and a big muscular butt with a soft tummy and big arms.
I’m built like a Celtic Warrior Goddess and I will never have a flat tummy and toned arms and that is fine by me because I could snap a grown man in half.
Yes!
Have you seen olympic powerlifters?
This is Sarah Robles, on the USA Olympic Powerlifting team.
Skinny? No. Could pick me up with one arm? Absofuckinglutely.
Sarah Robles was once in an auto accident. She braced her arms against the steering wheel & by main force held it back from smashing her in the chest.
She fought her car & she won.
wHAT
Holy shit I love her even more.
That would shatter my arms like glass.
I’m the same when it comes to functional muscle. I weigh nearly 200 pounds, I’ve got a soft tummy and some muffin top/love handle action going on, but I’ve got a lot of muscle tone and definition in my limbs andcan easily lift over 100 pounds. My endurance is excellent, too. I don’t tire even after hiking up mountains and can easily work long shifts.
I know that I’ll never be thin, but how much does that matter if I can crush people?
Side note: my strength has been the best thing for my gay ass. I offer to help cute girls lift things at work and they swoon at how easily I handle everything. They’ll follow me (while I’m carrying multiple beverage palettes) from the dry storage room to the storefronts going “Wow! She’s so strong! Look at those guns!” I’m known for being delicate and singing like a bird, but also for being a thicc beefcake lady that doesn’t need help from men.
let’s not dunk on bodybuilders, just the toxic culture around it. it’s their bodies. they want big muscles that don’t do so much, they should enjoy that.
Thank you so much, Google. That is astounding information!
If you want to print these or share them on other forms of social media, go ahead. They’ve been edited and they’ve got my signature, so they should be good to go.
I’ll probably make one or two more, depending on how the rest of the week goes. I have ideas, but I’m mad busy, so we’ll see. I’ll be posting them on my own Instagram and Twitter on the 2nd, so if you can share from my Twitter that would be ideal.
Also this goes without saying but if any of you shop out my signature or claim ownership of my work, I will come after you.
The European mink is a critically endangered species due to three main factors; habitat loss, over-exploitation, and the impact of the American mink, an introduced species. Its range has been reduced by 85% in the last 200 years, leaving the populations fragmented and continuing to decline. Strict control of the American mink in Spain has helped mediate this threat, but the declining population trend continues.
These mink are semi-aquatic and make their homes in highly vegetated riverbanks. They feed mainly on crayfish, frogs, small mammals, fish and insects. The decline of crayfish in Europe has been proposed as an additional factor in the continued drop in mink numbers.
