When something's so visible even I can see it, there's something wrong. So there's no hiding it anymore; emaciation is becoming trendy in a big way. I'm seeing people's bones in photos and videos, and it strikes me as class related. Like the billionaires who can afford Ozempic are body shaming the rest of us who can't afford weight drugs or healthcare or healthy food, so the only way the poor can lose weight is the old school method: starvation, thinspo, Skinnytok thinfluencers, pro-ana/pro-mia Tumblr, etc. Gotta get that heroin chic body! (-᷅_-᷄๑)

Argh.

Yeah, eating disorders are back. (⊙.⊙(-̶●̃ₒ●̶̃)⊙.⊙)

Seriously, wtf are we doing, people.

Fitness tip:

I've been lifting weights but find that whenever I do them standing up or sitting down I tend to use bad form. Also have a tendency to skip it altogether because it just isn't any fun. But lately I've found that if I leave the dumbells on the nightstand next to the bed I'm not only more likely to use them, but also I use proper form while lying down. No more injuries or pulled muscles! ٩(˘◡˘)۶

So I've been lifting weights while lying in bed at night right before going to sleep. And it's much more fun this way! Hasn't disturbed my sleep at all, and may even be helping me sleep better. Of course, I don't work up a sweat or anything that intense, just a nice, relaxing few minutes of lifting. So far I haven't injured myself, so we'll see how long that lasts. (♯^.^ღ) *crosses fingers*

Not sure how they make money if they're not selling our information to data brokers like everyone else, but hey, I'm on board for as long as they last.
