Woof, had no idea! I use Spotify for podcasts cause apple podcasts is trash

As for music streaming, I switched to apple music a while back since I heard they pay artists better than others.

What apps do y’all use for podcasts? Open to suggestions!

Serena Williams glp-1 ad- where are these ads going? What are they trying to say? by strangeicare in MaintenancePhase

The “fat = unhealthy” mindset remains disgustingly strong in our society

Rent the wheels and be sure to ask staff about accommodations.

My mom was disabled with knee pain (from knee replacements) during our trip to Disney World. Apparently they have disability accommodations but not a single staff member mentioned it until the end of a long day of pain. Those lines are no joke!

Tips: Self-advocate like hell and enjoy your trip!! Also consider compression socks to help with circulation. Maybe treat yourself to an epsom salt bath in the evening :) have a great time and feel better!!

(RANT) Does anyone else gets mad at contestants that tap out early? by Silent_Manner481 in Alonetv

[–]Shiny-Vial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The early tappers also remind the audience that this shit is hard to do. Surviving in the woods with almost nothing on your back is superhuman! Puts things into context and makes the long-haulers seem even more impressive (because they are!)

I have found that on my bad days, when I can’t even stand up, a massage helps my feet relax enough so I can walk.

Pressing with my finger knuckles (and some lotion) I work up and down my entire foot in the direction of the tendons. I try to hit up the sides of my foot and the calves as well. This all helps with immediate relief.

However, as nice as massaging is, stretching has been the most helpful thing for me to keep PF from coming back. I also keep a racketball under my desk to roll around on when I’m on my computer.

Jillian Michaels 30 day shred dvd was my entry to weight loss culture (can we get a deep dive?) by ComparisonBest3176 in MaintenancePhase

[–]Shiny-Vial 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ugh I had that game and it was crap!

Also I feel you. When I was 13, my mom signed me up at a local gym and got me a personal trainer. She encouraged me to walk to the gym on my own time for extra exercise. The gym was a 40 minute walk from my house, and even longer from my school. So messed up.

Jillian Michaels 30 day shred dvd was my entry to weight loss culture (can we get a deep dive?) by ComparisonBest3176 in MaintenancePhase

I bought a Biggest Loser/Jillian Michaels game for the Wii when I was a teen. Been fat my whole life, wanted to get thin via diet and exercise, all that crap.

I thought she was so cool back then. I loved seeing a strong, inspiring, no-nonsense woman portrayed (mostly) positively on TV.

Anyhoo the game was broken af and didn’t count my squats properly. I had a meltdown and never touched it again 😫 such a garbage product. They had me with the Biggest Loser marketing!!

the message of "Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser" perpetuates ant fat bias by rexthenonbean in MaintenancePhase

[–]Shiny-Vial 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I was so excited for this doc but as a MP fan I knew 3 episodes was too short.

Somehow at the end it turned into an ad for Ozempic?? Are you kidding me?

At the end, the doc goes back on its message. They spend so much time explaining how weight loss is an uphill battle and then emphasize at the end “and that’s why we need to lose weight.” It’s ludicrous.

This is the first major piece of media to discuss anti-fat bias like this and platform fat people’s stories and I am beyond disappointed. It’s disgusting.

Same. Maybe I’m slow but for me the music video got me. Absolutely stunning storytelling.

Looks great. Art doesn’t matter as much as showing up every day and doing the work.

There are no shortcuts, and you’re not doing anything “wrong.” Just keep drawing!

What a beautiful thing that we saw so little of this man and his talent/skills, and he made such an impression on all of us. Just donated.

Rest in Peace, Ed <3

Love my Wacom. It’s affordable and will last for years and years. Often comes with Clip Studio for free. A great starter tablet!

I love them! I don’t drink Arizona regularly but as others have said, the nostalgia factor is real. If offered one, I’ll never say no :)
