As it is for so many people. So often, even if someone was the kind of kid that was jumping on & off stuff & climbing everything we so often lose that as we get older.

And there’s got to be a place for a 30something librarian character that can leap small buildings.

And it can feel wrong right up until the moment you “get it” too.
It was always a real challenge to work out how to teach explosive movement as well for that reason, although it made that “ah ha!” moment all the more exciting when someone got it

But seriously, that’s a great effort. Building strength is one thing but explosive power’s a whole different ball game

Nice!
I was looking at a kid do box jumps at the gym this morning & thinking I should start training them again.

Some of you know that I use mats made of surplus silicone for promo. You prob didn’t know that I’ll often donate them to schools/charities

So if you run something like that, reach out!

As for everyone else, sorry, I do need to earn a living somehow and you can get one at keithdecent.com

Solid advice. Hope the pain eases soon

Dylan. fairly male, very metal @dangermuppet.bsky.social · 1d

Indeed

I suppose it’s to be expected that people also behave that way in the flesh

Dylan. fairly male, very metal @dangermuppet.bsky.social · 2d

Of course they did.
I could see that happening at my work too, although with the amount & variety of power tools we have that leads to some very unpleasant imagery.

That, & they packed so many throwaway jokes in amongst everything else

I was given the full set as a 30th present & it was really interesting to watch it with an adults perspective & understanding of a lot of the jokes.

Still had to have the secret housemate pointed out to me a few years later

How dare you deprive her of an opportunity to be righteously indignant

This would 100% be my choice as well.

An analogue Easter egg if you will

Who’s your favorite reoccurring (that is not part of the regular cast but kept showing up) sitcom character?

I love that they snuck that in, makes me wonder what else I’ve missed over the years.

maybe time for a rewatch

Solid choice. I have to admit that despite all the times I watched it I never spotted them until their existence was pointed out to me some years back.

Anti-racist rallies all over on October 19, in response to the next round of these 'Marches for Australia'. Get to your one. It's your opportunity not only to stand up, but to start meeting and making plans with other anti-racists. Your presence matters. Share it around.

The title isn't quite on the money for this one. Rather, I wanted to reflect on what *I* think is of most urgent important of late in attending anti-fascist rallies.

Why we show up when fascists march

Right-wing marches are little more than angry parades, but they are effective recruitment systems designed to attract interest for growth.

I originally opted for “ pathological waste” but I think “will bite” is more indicative of my current frame of mind

You beat me to it.
In which case I’ll go with “pathological waste “

One can only hope
