Me: getting on my soapbox about how the doctrine of Immaculate Conception would rob Mary of agency assuming she had any
John Herreid@herreidjohn.bsky.social Β· 2d agoYou: getting pedantic about Alanis Morissetteβs Ironic not being really about irony Me: getting pedantic about how Alanis Marissetteβs Good Weather for Immaculate Conception makes the common mistake of thinking the Immaculate Conception refers to Jesusβ instead of Maryβs conception
Please bear in mind that "closet" in Sam's day meant a different kind of room than you're currently imagining
Samuel Pepys@samuelpepys.bsky.social Β· 2d agoMost of this afternoon my wife and I did spend together in setting things in order in her closet, which indeed is, and will be, when I can get her some more things to put in it, a pleasant place, and is at present very pretty, and such as she, I hope, will find great content in.
Btw do you actually HAVE to "consult your doctor before beginning a fitness regimen" or is that just some shit they say to cover their asses on TV
Sarah ιζ‘ηπ@sarahejoyal.bsky.social Β· 3d agoIf I had a stationary (or space for one) that is definitely what I would be doing Assuming I ever make it past the absolute beginner can't-even-do-one-sit-up phase of exercise I may have to like, start attending a facility
How the fuck do people do sustained planking, OUCH
If I can't do impact (ankle still fucked up), have asthma and physically cannot swim nor ride a bike, do I have any viable cardio options other than walking? I don't necessarily mind walking now that the outdoors has stopped being a sauna, just seeing if there's anything else out there
Some examples re that last one: -exercising will make you feel better (in your body) -exercising will make you feel better (in your mind) -exercising will give you more energy -exercising will make you stronger -exercising will give you more endurance -exercising will get easier over time
Sarah ιζ‘ηπ@sarahejoyal.bsky.social Β· 4d agoLies I have been fed over the course of my life: -one day your bust will even out -your periods will become regular eventually -as an adult you'll prefer to be productive rather than relaxing -when you're older you'll want to get up early -you'll want children someday -EVERYTHING about exercise

I do have PHM and I definitely plan on reading that one as well

So, when you look up instructions on how to learn to do pull-ups, they start by telling you to practice just hanging off the bar to "build grip strength", but where in hell are you meant to go when you literally can't even do that much
The first time I remember being harassed was at age 12 and it basically continued nonstop for about the next decade
maura quint@mauraquint.bsky.social Β· 2w agoYes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.
I don't want to just repeat everything Jacob Geller said so please go watch his video if you can, because he talks about this subject extensively
Sarah ιζ‘ηπ@sarahejoyal.bsky.social Β· last wk.Even if all other considerations were resolved (which let's be clear will never ever happen) and the only sticking point were choosing the most humane method, we'd still be at an impasse because the least cruel methods are the ones that make the most horrifying spectacle for the audience
I can't figure out a way to make my name scary so y'all get an emoji instead
Has anyone else seen Jacob Geller's video on execution? Feels a bit relevant right now
Unless you're me, in which case people respond to every attempt at riffing on a joke with patronizing condescension like I'm obviously too fucking incompetent to ever comprehend that It's A Jokeβ’οΈ π
Cohen is a Ghost@skullmandible.bsky.social Β· 2w agoon forums before emote reactions, if somebody said something really funny you kinda had to riff on their post in order to express that you thought it was funny or it'd be considered low effort. it would result in whole pages of nothing but good jokes, all one-upping the previous.

How tf do people know when someone actually considers them a friend
Tbh I don't really understand how people can say 'I got in trouble but it was worth it'. How could it possibly be worth it?? You got IN TROUBLE!
Hey, if silken nightgowns are good enough wear for Pamela
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com Β· 2w agoColumn: DΓ΄en and Vogue released a Jane Austen-inspired nightgown to celebrate Vogue Book Club's pick of "Sense and Sensibility." The nightgown-as-outerwear trend has been growing steadily for several years. Historical accuracy isnβt the point.
I cannot fathom the logic of this argument. We're apparently not supposed to chip in to provide health care for those who can't afford it, so ... poor people fuck off? Are we meant to beg like medieval lepers? Just sit around praying to be magically healed??

Has anyone ever written a story about Ezri doing the Zhiantara? There's so much potential for emotion there now that, in addition to everything they dealt with last time, somebody is also going to have to assume the mantle of their beloved friend and coworker Jadzia
Erin Biba@erinbiba.bsky.social Β· 2w agoI think Ezri had the potential for this but her story never got to be flushed out like that
My *engineering university* had history courses. Nobody except me ever took more than one or two, but we certainly had them.
Mike Ross@eruptionchaser.bsky.social Β· 2w agoAm I missing something here? In what universe would an engineering student ever study history?! Do many history students study engineering?! I *enjoyed* history at school, and I was *good* at it. But no way would I ever have studied it at university.
Unrelated fun fact I once starred in a summer production of How To Eat Fried Worms when I was about 9 or 10 years old There were so many of us that I only got to appear in one scene and also we all had to play boys because there were basically no boys in the class and no girls in the play
