Spock’s the kind of Vulcan dude who has the next thirty years of his life planned out in a color coded Excel spreadsheet and then. Jim comes into his life. And Spock calls Amanda and Sarek like “esteemed parents…. you won’t believe this but…he just DOES things…he doesn’t even think about them before he does them, this morning Jim saw a dog half a mile up the street and we were twenty minutes late to a meeting with the admiralty because he kept insisting that I give the ‘good boy’ a pat on the head. And also his smile is like sunlight and I can’t say no to him. Why is he like this”
Sarek’s just like “my son….now you understand how I feel when your mother insists that we wake up at dawn to view the sunrise together…it is completely illogical and yet….every second I spend in her presence is a gift”
And Amanda’s just sitting there laughing like “holy shit, they think I’M the emotional one?”
Can someone please tell me this was a pair that was trying to do the death spiral that mating birds of prey do, and somehow in the process they ended up stuck on a road sign.
Because if it is, this is definitely one of the funniest “Okay, maybe we WERE a little bit over our head when we started this…” moments.
I doubt it. One of these birds is a juvenile (the top) while the other is an adult (bottom). The juvenile would have no interest in mating.
Honestly when I see hawks doing stupid stuff 9/10 times its a harris hawk—this seriously just looks like one of those stupid hawks time. They are one of the only social raptors, so this leads to some funny things, like
Stacking
The harris hawk argument for stacking is “your back is less Pokey than a cactus so imma use it”
Not even falconers are safe…
They even hold hands
Please, what are you doing harris hawks, learn how to hawk
So this was a really personal project for me, after listening to TAZ i wanted to do something to show my love and appreciation for it, as well as get the chance to say goodbye to all the characters again. Hopefully that comes across (wow this is truly the dorkiest thing I’ve ever done)
Anyway feel free to ask why i picked which character for each Tarot card (trust me i thought way to far into it) and please listen to taz if you haven’t already!
Some eaiser variations of push ups to help you build the strength to do a traditional one!
I was always frustrated how my P.E. teachers wanted all of us to go “all-or-none” and basically hurt ourselves without letting us build up from square-one like in the first gif. Then they’d fuckin yell at us for not doing it right >:|
Knee-pushups is not square-one.
When I got my first personal trainer, she had me doing push ups almost standing upright in the weight lifting bars so that I could do 15 reps and 3 sets of them. It’s more about the technique of the push up, and if you’re pushing too much weight, you can’t exersize the correct muscles within their tolerances. This post is pretty important to know cause of that.
I’m reblogging this here because as someone who spends almost the entire day on bedrest, it is incredibly difficult to find exercises I can do at my strength level.
Please ignore this if it is not for you. I know that exercise is not for everyone or every illness.
Loads of reps of something gentle can work your muscles pretty hardcore if you do enough of them.
Part of intro to P90X (DEATH TRAINING) is just standing, making a fist with each hand, holding your arms perpendicular to your body (like a kid ‘flying’ around as an airplane) and then moving your arms in tight circles for a minute, then reversing direction of the circles for a minute, then doing BIG, slow circles for a minute, then repeating the reversed version that. Like, full ‘60 seconds’ ‘minute’
At first its like ‘lol just my arms whatever I can do this all day’ and then it turns into ‘omg my arms are going to fall off this is terrible gravity plz no’
Also, water bottles can serve as light dumbells for gentle repetitive lifting (bro do you even lift) if you don’t want to dump cash into exercising. Having a bit of air in the bottle will help your forearm no matter what you do, as you try to keep it steady.
Laying on your back and lifting one leg up – just keeping it hovering over the ground with your toe pointed can work your abs. Hovering both legs at the same time is harder. Hovering both legs while making little ‘swimming kicks’ is stupid and i hate ithard.
Hell, even just tensing your abs and keeping them tensed for periods during the day will work them – no need to flail around a ton, or set aside a bunch of time for it.
At my school, the gym teachers called knee-pushups “girl pushups”. Like that was the “official” name. I didn’t even realize there was a different term for them until I saw this post just now.
“Don’t give me that cute ol’ big eyed look,” Facilier said, trying to steel himself against the flood of emotions watching Luxord react was giving him. “I’m still mad at you, but kicking you out now would be as bad as putting a kitten out in a hurricane. Get inside before my good sense gets ahold of me.”
Luxord rose slowly, like the effort of moving weighed him down, until he was back on his feet. Facilier was reminded of how short the man was – Luxord was usually such a ham that the fact he was a head shorter than Facilier usually slipped his mind. It was rare to see him acting as small as he looked.
“Thank you,” Luxord said, and Facilier could see a dozen other things hiding inside that short statement. He was looking up at Facilier as if he had personally provided fish and bread to an entire mountain full of people.
“What did I say about giving me that cute look? Get into the house,” Facilier said, and turned towards the trapdoor back into his bedroom.
Hey! So I’m going to be moving to Minnesota soon. My girlfriend and I are going to move in together, problem is I’m still in Colorado and everything’s expensive. I’m trying to save up at least a thousand or two just so that I have enough for car expenses, rent, bills, etc etc. So, if you like my art and the things I make, please consider donating or commissioning me. If you can’t, reblogs help a bunch.
