Been Playing Ring Fit Adventure And This Tooltip Is So Funny To Me

It really sucks when my symptoms have been mostly manageable for like 2 weeks straight and then out of nowhere fatigue just hits me like a sack of bricks. Like at least it’s happening on my day off so I don’t have to worry about work but like. Damn dude it was really nice being a functioning person for a while, not enjoying the possibility of another flare up happening rn and wrecking my ass for the next week and a half.

Health anxiety sucks because

You know what I changed my mind I’m not elaborating. Health anxiety sucks. That’s it, that’s the tweet.

I MADE THIS ALBUM COVER (sorry for yelling I’m just excited)

This drawing was commissioned by musician “The Static Dive” (who is also my dad 😌) for his new single “Object 64,” out everywhere today. You should go listen to it, cuz it’s funky.

The Static Dive - Object 64

Listen to Object 64 by The Static Dive.

Woah it’s tumblr so I can put the link!!! Technology, it has come so far.

Here is my boi Geordi, I will never draw him again because I literally only write about him, enjoy the one time you'll see him.

This is the magic lucky word count. Reblog for creativity juice. It might even work, who knows.

There are not enough sexy drawings of cryptids. Where is the Loveland Frogman with abs? Where is the Fresno Nightcrawler as a nervous little twink? Where is mothman’s dick???

Hi Hughie Stone Fish from Lewberger helped write the hippo vore song from puppet history.

Hughie Stone Fish hippo vore.

That’s all I wanted to say thank you.

Hi hello hey I sent you an ask a a while back and I fear tumblr migh have eaten it. Apologies if you get this for the second time! But I saw your post about wanting to listen to Puppet History songs and I wanted to let you know that a lot of them are on soundcloud (with lyrics!!!)! I don't know why all the songs aren't there but most of them are!

Oh cool! Thank you, I will check them out there👍 Mainly I wish they were on Apple Music, because that’s where I listen to most stuff. So then one day I can be putting my music on shuffle and just get jump scared by the hippo vore song.

Also I just googled the couch potato to 5k program I trained with when I was a kid and they don’t recommend the program for kids under 11 because it’s considered “too intense.” And I just found a picture from when I finished my first race in 2012 when I was 9 years old which is…. younger than 11.

So yeah maybe also don’t put your children on adult exercise regimens that are not designed for their tiny bodies lmao what the fuck

So fun fact when I was a kid my mom decided I wasn’t active enough. So she bought me absurdly expensive running shoes I did not ask for, dragged me out in the below freezing east coast weather, and started me on this “couch potato to 5k” challenge.

Every day after school, we ran. First it was 5 minutes a day, then 7, then 10… you get the gist. I think after 2 months we were running about an hour every day. By the time I quit running when I was 10, my mom and I had run 3 5ks together over the span of a little over a year.

A little after stopped running, I noticed some pain in my right knee. It got a little bit worse, and a little bit worse, and a little bit worse… and then five years later, when it had gotten to the point where I couldn’t pay attention in geography class because I was in constant pain from having to sit all day, I finally went to the doctor.

They told me the cartilage under my kneecap was worn down from overuse. It’s called chondromalacia patellae—also known as “runners knee.”

The thing is: When we were in races, and I was overwhelmed, I told my mom I wanted to stop. I told her I was in pain and I needed to slow down. I told her I didn’t like running.

And you know what she said to me?

“Suck it up.”

And I’m not saying “don’t tell your kids to exercise.” Your kids SHOULD exercise—not because of any bullshit weight reason or anything, but because they’re kids, and it’s good for them. Good for their bones, or whatever.

And I’m not saying “don’t exercise WITH your kids” either, because again, they should be exercising a little. And if you being there helps them stay motivated, that’s great.

What I am saying is: Listen to your kids. Trust that they know their own limits better than you do. Even if you think that they’re being over dramatic, or whiny, or whatever—don’t take the chance.

I’m 20 years old now. My knee still hurts. I have a whole suite of other, unrelated chronic conditions that would be improved if I exercised more. And I try to, I really do. But it’s kind of hard to do squats when just one makes your knee feel like it’s on fire for the rest of the week.

Listen. To. Your. Kids.

I'm certain this is on Tumblr somewhere, but I haven't seen it around, so I'm sharing it myself
