The reason your snacks are unsatisfying is that you need both carb and protein.
Carb starts your engine, protein keeps it going.
No carb, engine don’t start. No protein, engine dies out fast.
Easy carb add on:
- Cookie
- Fruit (canned or fresh)
- Chips
- Piece of bread
- Popcorn
- Crackers
Easy protein add on:
- Nuts
- Spoonful of nut butter
- Cheese
- Roasted chickpea snacks
- Glass of milk (dairy or non dairy)
- Small canned sausages or similar
Sugar in there.
I am pleased by people messaging me telling me that after adding a carb or protein to their snacks or meals they feel more satisfied all day. Yes, my plan is working. People are getting through their days with less hangry.
i love when you’re talking to someone who’s not from florida and you just casually mention a thing that only happens in Florida and it ruins their whole day
one time i was talking to some guy and he was like “haha how do yall get alligators in your backyard? do you not have fences?” and i had to inform him that gators can absolutely climb fences
omw to go sit in your pool
this is why kennedy space center had to install fancy outward-curving fences around the launchpad, bc gators climbing over regular fences and getting on the launchpad could be very dangerous
I’d like to think that the “STOP 🛑” sign is also for the gators.
The gators don’t abide by our petty laws. They are…instigators.
turns out they climb trees too. Like regularly. they tend to do it a lot less once they reach certain sizes, but like several crocodilian species turn out to have a whole development period where they spend a lot of time in trees, and we just never knew that until like 2014 because, understandably, nobody who was studying them thought “i wonder if I should look for a bunch of crocodiles up in the trees”
new phobia just dropped
haters will see multi-talented queens and develop a phobia
Pricing your work!
At least a living wage x hours worked + cost of materials
At least a living
wage x hours worked + cost
of materials
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
you also need to add $$$ for your working space, utilities including wifi and transportation if you need to get materials locally, also work transport into shipping costs (which you always charge the customer including packing materials and time packing.
Remember, if you sell your work for less/or give it for free you are actually PAYING SOMEONE to take your work.
wish it was easier to tell the difference between ‘pain that will get better if you use the body part’ and ‘pain that will get worse if you use the body part’ and ‘pain that is indifferent to you using the body part’ tbqh
It’s going to vary a lot from person to person, but as a rule of thumb:
- If it feels tight/locked up/achy it needs to move, but be aware that it almost certainly needs to move slowly and gently until the pain begins to ease
- If it feels sharp/hot/tender and/or gets worse with pressure/weight, it needs to rest. Massage, heat, or ice may help.
- If you move the body part and feel grinding/clicking that’s new or worse than usual it needs to rest or possibly to get a brace on it
- Electrical pain or pain that comes with numbness and tingling is probably nerve pain, and nerve pain cares not what you do with your body but it might care what position it’s in, so it’s less about using the body part and more about how you’re using the body part.
- You can have multiple things going on which get worse or better with different things, and the best thing to do here is vary what you’re doing. Lying in bed like a slug is what you’re going to want to do. But you’ll feel better if you get up and move around for just a few minutes before going back to resting.
1) do this even if you're under 40. seriously. I definitely should have been doing something like this for years and I only turned 40 a month and a half ago
2) if you're like me just now trying this going "oh god i've only done 15 and i think my hands are cramping" start lower than 30 and increase by 5 once whatever number you're doing no longer makes your hand cramp up. I can manage about 15 per exercise at the moment.
been thinkin about how my ethics professor back in undergrad was like.
look. there’s no such thing as perfect altruism. you’ll always get something out of helping or being kind to others, whether it’s a stronger relationship or returned kindness or just the feeling of having done good. there’s nothing inherently bad about getting something from doing good either, especially since it’s completely unavoidable. people being rewarded for putting love into the world doesn’t make the world a worse place. so just do as much good as you can and don’t worry about being “selfless” while doing it, because being truly selfless is in fact impossible.
and like man did that take the pressure off of Being A Good Person!! you’re allowed to enjoy helping people! you’re allowed to be kind without worrying that you’re maybe secretly just doing it for yourself!! it’s okay if you are doing it for yourself because you’re still being kind to others!!!!!
Reasons why someone may not like a ship without having moral beef with it:
- The writing in canon was badly written.
- The fanon for this ship mischaracterizes one of them in a way they can't stand.
- They hate the character designs, and/or get eyestrain from them standing next to each other.
- They hate one of the tropes used in the ship.
- Making this ship happen would go against their headcanons.
- They don't like the arc/story beats where this ship got content.
- They don't like one of the CHARACTERS.
- All the BNFs ship this, and they got tired of it.
- An absolute jackass shipped this, and the ship was tarnished because of that.
- They haven't gotten to the point in canon where they met.
- It reminds them of a past relationship, and in a bad way.
- They prefer another ship.
Supplements & Vitamins
Here's a list of some of the most commonly used supplements and their benefits. Please remember that while supplements can be beneficial for certain people, everyones nutritional needs are different. It's always a good idea to consult with a specialist before adding any new supplements to your routine, as individual needs may vary.
- Multivitamin: Provides a range of essential vitamins and minerals to support overall health and fill potential nutrient gaps in your diet.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Promote heart health, brain function, and reduce inflammation. Typically derived from fish oil or algae.
- Vitamin D: Supports bone health, immune function, and may have a positive impact on mood. It's commonly obtained through sun exposure, but supplements can be useful, especially in winter or for those with limited sun exposure.

- Calcium: Crucial for bone health and muscle function. It's often combined with vitamin D for better absorption.
- Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): Plays a vital role in energy production within cells and acts as an antioxidant. It may benefit heart health and cellular energy metabolism.

- Melatonin: A hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles, melatonin supplements can help with insomnia or jet lag.
- Vitamin E: An antioxidant that supports immune function and may help protect against cellular damage.
- Ginseng: An adaptogenic herb that may help increase energy, reduce stress, and support cognitive function.
- Prebiotics: These are non-digestible fibers that promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, supporting gut health and digestion.
- Magnesium: In addition to its previous benefits, magnesium may help reduce muscle cramps, improve mood, and promote relaxation.
- Probiotics for Vaginal Health: Certain strains of probiotics can help maintain a healthy balance of vaginal flora, reducing the risk of infections.
- Cranberry Extract: Often used for urinary tract health, cranberry extract may help prevent urinary tract infections.
- Resveratrol: Found in grapes and berries, resveratrol has antioxidant properties and may support heart health and longevity.
