the only one our gym has without handles is the round little 100lb monster but it‘s fun to struggle with! lmao take it easy while you’re on the mend though girl your body is like 50% recent surgeries by volume at this point 😭

LOVE sandbags—functional fitness and dynamic weight is the backbone of what’s taken me from barely-vertical long covid to what is generously the best shape of my life. i’m not exactly putting up competition numbers over here lmao but i’m so sturdy!!

which is, actually, weird! her policy and voting history on trans issues is reasonably solid! and yet, for the entirety of the race, her position was notably, loudly…absent.

i don’t disagree that playing it this way worked, but to what extent will she show up for us now?remains to be seen.

The Rs, by contrast, ran on a platform constructed *almost exclusively* of transphobia and nothing else, so the strategy seems to have been “sanity by comparison”, but it was incredibly alienating as someone who was begging constantly for a single indicator of solidarity anywhere.

Oh yeah, her entire campaign was an *aggressively* centrist bid that chased legitimacy through proximity to law enforcement and federal service, equated “bipartisanship“ with pragmatic levelheadedness, and aimed to make the opposition look crazy by never talking about trans issues once.

now the next step is convincing our VA dems that it’s not enough to simply not be virulently anti-trans. you have to also care about and proactively support trans people

delightful takes!! thank you for the context!

I fear you have mistaken how much I know about House to be indicative of how much I know about warhammer

I think Greg is close but I think the actual bit would be another character learning about Warhammer from a patient who is really into it, mentioning something in passing, which sparks the eventual reveal that House has *been* stupid into Warhammer for, like, a long time.

PLEASE i just choked on my coffee 😭😭😭
