hell world

more people would exercise if this culture didn't make it absolute hell

I teach martial arts. we play games with the little kids. they swordfight with noodles and throw foam balls at each other. in the summer, we take them out into the parking lot with water guns. in the winter, we have snowball fights.

the teenagers get swords and staffs and practice knives. we teach them moves from marvel movies that they ask about. they get squirt guns and snowball fights too. we let them goof off and climb the support beams and charge directly at each other in padded suits.

sometimes parents say they miss doing things like that. I tell them, "stay for an adult class. just try it out." we build obstacle courses and let them mess around with training rifles. they chat while sparring. we scream and cheer for them when they're in the middle of a circle. and then we send them out to the parking lot with squirt guns and snowballs.

it's exercise. it's healthy. it's an important life skill. and it's fun as fuck.

This is one of the forgotten but imo super harmful symptoms of diet culture-exercise being relegated to weight loss rather than jist enjoying using and being in your body.

Don’t like the gym? Ok, go find a line dancing club. A Tai Chi class. Play Just Dance every day. Arrange a tag football team. Go to a trampoline park.

Using our bodies shouldn’t be a chore assigned in shame.

iive been so obsessed with this video for days

How I didn’t shoot my wife!

In a recent video, I included my take on the William/Wilhelm Tell shot. At the time I mentioned that there were safety precautions behind it. Here is some of the process I went through.

Remember, when you see someone performing a stunt on purpose, there is almost always a lot going on behind the scenes, whether that’s physical failsafes, years of training and learning how to bail/fail safely, or (in many cases) both.

These things rarely eliminate the risk entirely, but by mitigating both the chance of something going wrong, and the severity if it does, it lets us do things that would otherwise be unthinkable. This was mine.

Normal silly videos will resume next week!

Did you know

If you perform action Harmlessly Bother Cat you can receive Sounds

If you perform action Ignore Cat you can also receive Sounds, with a percentage chance that they will be Noises instead

Here in my graaaaagj, just bought this new Sneetch here. It’s fun to drive up here in the Grundus hills. But you know what I like more than grundus things? Sneetches. In fact, I’m a lot more proud of these seven new Star-On Machines that I had to get installed to hold two thousand new Sneetches that I grundus. It’s like the billionaire Sylvester McMonkey McBean says, “the more you sneetch sneetch, the more you grundus grundus.”

I love all the runners who broke their rhythm to do this very seriously as if yes, hopscotch and a little dance was an expected part of their exercise routine for the day.

yeah no i think the whole "they could kill you but they choose not to" is a pretty important part of the monsterfuckery

ADHD is such nonsense sometimes. I was worried my PMDD had escalated and was continuing into my cycle and that I’d never know the warmth of sunshine on my skin or the fresh taste of strawberries.

And then I decluttered the bedroom and removed something I’d been meaning to tackle for weeks and ah, I see. I am not in actual fact on the brink of a nervous breakdown, I was just visually overstimulated and my ADHD was doing the nervous system equivalent of a chihuahua shaking itself to death out of sheer nervous existence. As though I don’t have actual Horrors to be overwhelmed by but no, the chair in the corner that had become a dumping ground for all my stuff was my mental limit.

Turns out I’m not evil and just needed to get rid of the mountain of cardboard that’s been living in my house since January. Who knew?

I’m sure someone without executive dysfunction, but fuck them for playing the game of life without concrete shoes on.

A few weeks ago I moved a shelf out of my kitchen to make room for my new mini-freezer, and I just left it by the door because it was cold and I didn't want to take it out to the shed.

It has been sitting there ever since.

Finally moved it today and, what do you know, I don't feel like my livingroom is trying to attack me anymore! Wild.

thinking about edvard munch's "The Sun" (1911)

like yeah thats how it feels. thats what it feels like to exist sometimes. he gets it

"if tumblr dies you can find me on bluesky" "if tumblr dies you can find me on Instagram" if tumblr dies you cannot find me. It's over. I'm free.

“you’re a writer, right?”
