In today's not surprising but still needs to be said news: weight cycling is bad for you. Mentally. Physically.
This means that dieting, losing weight and gaining it again (which WILL happen to the vast majority) is not a good idea. 🧪 news.ncsu.edu/2024/01/thin...
Thanks @shiplives.bsky.social!

A couple weeks ago, I jokingly said Poor Things was "egg cinema." Then I started to wonder what I meant by that. When I rewatched Being John Malkovich, I knew I had been put on this Earth to do one thing: define the term "egg cinema."
So I did! With lots of examples!

Went to look for a vet tech at the animal ER and 2 women in the lobby were absolutely baked to their eyeballs and back. Honestly debated standing in there and taking a long breath to see if whatever was coming off of their clothing could help with the anxiety

It is not
within your power
to end suffering
the world is large
and filled with horrors
while you are small
and filled with doubts
it is not
within your power
to end suffering
and yet it is
within your power
to cause less suffering
so please
at least try to do that.

This is a fun one. I asked 29,000 Americans how they primarily organize their books.
- 29% don't organize their books
- 22% sort by genre
- 19% alphabetize
- 3% sort by color
But it turns out this depends HEAVILY on how many books you own. My story: today.yougov.com/society/arti...

Sometimes I think I’m butch because of the way that most definitions are interdependence focused with positive masculinity, but then I also experience an hour of bliss spackling holes in an apartment so who needs gender theory?
