Both companies are evil and wrong for different and myriad things, but this morning Apple sucks because Google lets you dismiss an upcoming alarm from your notifications. Apple forces you to either let it ring first, or toggle it off in Alarms, where I will surely forget to turn it back on

Halp I slept with the window open so I could be under the duvet, but now it’s morning and I am hiding from the chill

Here’s my wild Saturday night with a cold 🤧

Time has a shape sometimes. It’s very cozy from my lap to my ankles, but I think I want it twice as long. I haven’t decided yet. It feels good to get back into it 🧶

Calm restored. High score increased. I like seeing the number of total weight moved and telling myself, “If I can push and pull 17,000 pounds around, I can do LOTS of neat shit” 💪

Every time I postpone a workout, I feel the need to justify it to myself. This is the grind mindset. The hustle is a trap. Rest is part of the cycle ☯️

Photo from the mountain yesterday for when I need to microdose forestbathing but can’t get back out to Mont Royal

It’s almost like the more I didn’t wanna do the workout, the more profound the calming effect. Today was especially refreshing and reenergizing 🏋️

For my newsletter, I wrote about Democrats coming out against "trans surgery for kids" (which do not happen) and how the myth took over our politics. www.burnsnotice.com/the-trans-ki...

The "Trans Kid Surgery" Myth

The big lie worked because it played on your protective instincts

Ed Sheeran crying and saying he thought about quitting music over criticism towards his bitch ass non-stance (which is a stance, btw) is a new level of white fragility and self-victimization my god. 21,000 kids dead but yes, your tour almost not happening is the real tragedy

Funked up my knee somehow yesterday whilst massaging, and I put heat on it before and after supper. No pain on the walk to the gym, workout went fine, walk back was great. It’s a little tender now I’m back home, so I will indulge in some more heating pad time 🍗

I haven’t been shortening my hairs as often, so when I do, the cold is exacerbated by the lack of insulating fluff. My scalp is chilly 🍃

it is remarkable that this has happened despite a near-unanimous effort from mainstream politicians and news media to prevent it from happening. there's some hope there

During the First and Second Intifadas the gap was, like, 40-50 points. Now that's not only gone but it's gone negative. Incredible work really.

Wore a sorceress to walk to the gym today for extra power (worked out in a tank top because I need ventilation when I really start sweating)

I worked hard, I deserve to lie on the table too now, thanks

I did not have “Gillian Anderson takes lots of baths” on my Hannibal s3 bingo card. What a lovely counterpoint to the blood and gore and darkness. Also: having your hair washed is so tender and intimate 💆

Hannibal season two was fun and gorgeous, but the plot was often preposterous and the fact that every female character was reduced to a plot device was upsetting. We can write queer romance and still have realistic women who are full and complete characters and not just accessories to a male story

Tfw your boyfriend shows up with a package of Surprise Meat for you to cook together 🥰

Watching Hannibal now, and I hate when the writers make him or Will do anything that could be interpreted as heterosexual behaviour

Workout challenges this week: fucking myself up with a maladjusted VR headset, getting overwhelmed at the crowdedness of the gym last session, and utterly failing to notice the signs announcing today’s planned closure for building work lol. Better luck next week!

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

Skipping an exercise in my workout because someone else is taking forever on the thing is challenging my tendency toward all-or-nothing thinking. One skipped exercise does NOT, in fact, undo the hour+ of sweat and work I got up to. The hour+ of feeling firmly grounded in my body in motion.

This guy is so much less interesting than the media's bizarre obsession with writing the same story about him over and over

Bryan Johnson, a wealthy tech entrepreneur whose slogan is “Don’t Die,” has called himself “the healthiest person on the planet.” He consumes little meat, but a lot of collagen peptides and supplements in order to defeat mortality. Why is his goal to make it possible to live forever? nyti.ms/4im4Nuj

My friend’s AC setup makes me glad I wear an eye mask to sleep. Happy #Fursday folks 😘 block people with TERF wizard school houses in their profiles, will ya?

Leather is hot, but the second I see you dressed like a cop, it’s a block

I may have gotten up, but I have no idea what’s for breakfast

Working out is helping me feel my body. Great. Working out is changing my body. COMPLICATED. Working out is calming my brain hamster tf down. Excellent.

I've been feeling myself a bit more lately, and there's video evidence at justfor.fans/daddybeartyler 💦

Been going to the gym regularly since June and I'm still mad at how much it positively affects my mental health. Most of that anger is at how access to joyful movement is limited, at how most gyms are hostile spaces to fat bodies, and how we as a society need to be better educated on this topic

I wore a sleeveless top to give a massage today and I kept checking out my deltoids in the mirror. Feeling thankful that a) my client was face down and missed these moments of vanity and b) that I don't need to look at what I'm doing to give a great massage.
