I was training an intern at work today on how to clean up our database and she casually asked me “so can I just ChatGPT this” and I was like. Babe we’re working on a database where all of the input is done by (inconsistent) human beings, and this data will be used in all of Latin America to decide what medications are going to be made and where they’re going. Using AI to clean up this data could literally cost human lives

#I was trying my hardest to remain calm and civil while internally screaming WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN CHATGPT THIS#like ik there’s over 8000 entries to go through every month but every single one of those is made by a real human doctor somewhere in the#country and they’re inconsistent bc humans are#chatgpt cannot comprehend this#anti ai#chatgpt

I’ve been seeing this clip of Zara Larsson floating around Twitter with people saying “body goals”, talking about how they need to lose weight to achieve this, so I need to tell y’all:

This isn’t a starving woman. Zara gets lots of cardio in because of that dancing, which keeps her lean, but those legs come from WEIGHT TRAINING.

Zara Larsson is going to the gym and hitting legs. Those quads? Bulgarian split squats, leg extensions. She’s doing deadlifts, leg abductors, squats. Those aren’t starving cardio bunny legs babe, those are the legs of a woman who lifts and eats food!!!!

You’re not going to get this body by starving yourself. You’re going to get this body with both cardio and weight training. Zara Larsson is eating all the calories she needs to survive, and then some. Proteins, carbs, fats. And then she’s going to the gym and lifting weights.

Even more:

Zara Larsson is going to live longer and better than most women because of this. Women (both cis and trans btw!) lose 3-8% of their muscle mass every decade after 30. After menopause this loss only accelerates.

With muscle loss comes bone density loss. Women are 4x more likely to get osteoporosis than men. Elderly women fall about as much as men, yet they’re ~75% of all SEVERE fall related injuries.

But you know how to prevent this? Eating enough food and lifting weights. Weight training at least 2-3x a week and getting plenty of protein in your diet significantly reduces your risk.

By eating and lifting, you’re not just looking good. You’re making sure that in a few decades, taking a tumble won’t shatter every bone in your body. You’re making sure that you can stand, lay down, bathe yourself, pick things up on your own.

Zara Larsson is (almost certainly) going to live longer and better than Ariana Grande, or any other woman starving herself thinner and who doesn’t weight train. She’s going to be an old lady that can pick up something from the floor when she drops it. That can stand, sit, lay down on her own. Whose hip won’t shatter like glass with a tiny fall.

Eating enough food and weight training will do that. Not ozempic, extreme dieting, and endless cardio.

#diet culture and beauty standards will KILL YOU. and if they don’t kill you they’ll make you an old lady with glass for bones#trans women you are not exempt from this btw the longer you’re on HRT as you age you will experience muscle and bone density loss too#all women need to eat and lift!!!#hitting legs in particular (especially balance related exercises) are incredibly valuable especially in your 40s-50s because having strong#legs and balance will help prevent falls in the first place#my dad (doctor) is 58 and has been training legs like a madman these last few years bc he’s always been kind of a clumsy guy who trips#easily which was ok when he was 20 but now that he’s getting older it’s dangerous. and guess what? my dad hasn’t fallen at all in ages.#he falls less now than he did when he was my age. he hits legs HARD at the gym and does balance exercises too. he can max out most leg#machines at the gym it’s insane. he says the patients his ortho colleagues get with serious injuries are primarily 1. elderly 2. don’t lift#ryan talks science

#she’s practicing her dance choreographies which yes do probably keep her lean#but she’s also lifting weights and eating food don’t be fooled#she’s hitting arms too#my arms are a lot like hers and guess what I train arms. biceps triceps forearms shoulders the whole lot. and I eat food#she’s probably doing full body weight training workouts with more intense leg days#this woman is talented and fit and strong and happy she’s not starving!!!#zara larsson#cw ed#tw ed#cw weight#gym#weight lifting#ryan talks science

Big fan of how puppies and kittens barely know they exist. That period of time after they’re born but the brain software hasn’t downloaded yet is so precious

If you see any grammar mistakes in my posts please know that I can in fact write, but I only type posts on my phone and I use that fuckass slide to type feature which just guesses what I’m trying to say. If the price I have to pay for the joy of sliding is the occasional grammar mistake then that’s a price that I’m willing to pay

I (Brazilian) spent 4 years in the US between ages 18-22 and the questions USAmericans would ask me about Brazil were so funny, because it’d either be something that verges on insulting, like: “do you guys have cars in Brazil?”

Or it’d be something insane like “in Brazil do you have Cracker Barrel freshman orientation homecoming sorority party Walmart shotguns?”

#and I’d be like well. no. we don’t have that in Brazil#the cars question is a real fucking question I got in the US

I’m actually so troubled by the way Ariana stans are still acting like nothing’s wrong even though the entire world can see that she’s very sick. Do they know that their refusal to admit the problem won’t make their favorite popstar any less dead? These people are like “oh she’s always been tiny” like girl did you know you have 30 minutes

#has Karen Carpenter already vanished from public memory#I know I talked about this already on this blog but I wanted to talk about it again bc the situation keeps getting more dire#these stans keep acting like this is so normal and everything is fine#meanwhile my friends who have recovered from anorexia are like yeah she’s got it and she’s going to die#cw eating disorders#cw anorexia#tw ed#tw anorexia#cw death#tw death

As a femme lesbian one of my love languages has to be picking out clothes, perfume, doing makeup, etc on my partner. I love looking through their closet and picking out a fit (even better if it complements mine) smelling their fragrances and picking one out, doing some makeup on them. It makes my heart sing, I get such a childlike joy out of it

Avatar

And this isn’t bc I hate their usual style or think they can’t dress themselves. I just love fashion so much, and I feel like it’s a big part of my queerness. Being a lesbian is deeply linked to my style, to the way I find JOY and EUPHORIA in my appearance.

So being able to dress and accessorize someone I love gives me such a profound QUEER joy. It doesn’t matter if it’s another femme, a butch, stud, anyone. If they have clothes, I’ll make something out of it.

It’s the same feeling I got as a little girl when I collected cute stickers, and then would decorate everything around me with them. The more valuable something was to me, the more valuable the stickers it got.

#pleaaaaaase let me dress you and accessorize you and pick out your shoes and make you smell good#I love matching my fragrance to someone else as well#and I don’t mean wear the exact same perfume. I mean wearing different perfumes that don’t clash and instead smell good together#I love picking out a fit that complements mine#and I can create two completely different fits that look good together too. I can create butch versions of my outfits#I can turn my big ass winged liner into a messy 2000s guyliner style look to make it more masc#serving cunt is one of my autistic special interests and I am good at it#give me an hour in your room and free reign of your closet and I will make magic happen TRUST
