Hey You Know How I Said I Was Going To Make A Workbook On The Kind Of Bullshit You Need To Do When Someone

I cannot believe there's absolutely no way to watch free shows and movies anymore, there are too many paid streaming platforms and pirating websites have viruses and ads preventing you from watching it uninterrupted((.)) id rather follow the rules and purchase media moving forward because it is too inconvenient. Seriously, free and no ads or viruses with 1080p streaming is DEAD.

If you struggle with pullups (or any exercise) because of grip strength - here are some things you can try!

Essentially the idea is:

1.) Find a way to still train the exercise. You can use gloves or wraps to assist your grip OR you can do easier variations.

2.) Do grip exercises afterwards. The simplest one I can think of is a passive bar hang. Both active and passive ones work (that means essentially means shoulders down or shoulders up, respectively), and you can use any angle you want.

Weight lifting or rock climbing chalk can also help!

to anyone in the areas impacted by the wildfire smoke, my #1 biggest piece of advice as someone whos been dealing with wildfire smoke in the NW united states for years, is build yourself a Corsi-Rosenthal Cube

they perform as well as expensive HEPA air cleaners, and are comparatively VERY inexpensive. all you need is a box fan, 4 air filters, a piece of cardboard, and some duct tape!!!!

i think it took us maybe a half hour to put ours together, if that, and we replace the filters every 3 months. it's really made a HUGE difference, both when the air quality is bad, but also with our allergies

How to Ditch Amazon

Support your local libraries and the small businesses that are actually making the products you want.  Fuck Jeff Bezos and the systemic, universal worker abuse, gaslighting, and brutality they live off of.

Clutch flags are easier than they look!

While strength is required, technique plays a large role.

They train the sides of your body and help you develop the ability for total-body tension. This can help with stability, core strength, and more.
