Got the most amazing email a few weeks ago about my lifting program that I almost immediately forwarded to my mom; it's from a 70 year old woman who floored her doctors with how strong she was and how fast she was able to recover after breaking her hip.🧵

"Hi Casey, "Think of this as a love letter to you (but not in a weird, stalkerish way.)I'm a 70 year old woman, ovarian cancer survivor (4 years!) and have been feeling almost an obligation to take good care of my body after others worked so hard to help keep me alive.

finding a therapist is simple, just contact 50 people, 25 are no longer in network despite their listing, 15 don't answer, 5 have switched to $600/hr life coaching, 2 don't like your vibe, one now only does pets. the one you pick will stop responding and you go with the other one my god i forgot the entire category of "not taking new patients"

My sister started playing around with 3d printing low-poly models of animals and she did this rendition of our cats Gert and Fletcher in this specific pose and I’m losing my mind 😩😩😩 Yes will make you one too, this is her Etsy!! etsy.com/listing/121198…

i think we have to try communicating with more of the powerful elderly in big red text and see how that does us

this weekend i realized why making goals and/or Konmari'ing your belongs is so hard: you need an identity to frame those things around, and THAT's actually the hard part
shesabeast.substack.com/p/why-its-hard… almost everything about working out is framed around losing weight, or pretends to not but really does at its root, and understandably, most people don't actually orient their identity around "being thinner"

when the diet industry pushes “weight loss,” whether it's 10 or 100 pounds, it’s not only wasting our time with a goal they fully expect us to fail to keep us in that cycle forever, but actively preventing good food and exercise relationships. abusive! vice.com/en/article/93y… i wrote even more about this here: vice.com/en/article/4av…

Well this sucks

Oh my god this fuckin bastard manipulated his way into being part of the guest host rotation and then said whoops haha I guess I’m also one of the most popular hosts! Better not let America down theringer.com/tv/2021/8/5/22…

there had to be a version of this story with more photos from the front until some editor took his glasses off and rubbed his forehead and blurted out "we just can't run a bunch of pictures of tits in the new york times"
nytimes.com/2021/07/22/fas… this does mean on someone's hard drive at the new york times there's just a pile of photos of cans. large cans, small cans, and cans that are in between

marjorie taylor greene doing fucking kipping pullups to own a contagious virus checks out

my technical commentary has been requested: no reason to do kipping pullups unless you are competing, and actually competitive in, crossfit, which MJG need not worry about since crossfit said a few weeks ago "we want nothing to do with this bitch" buzzfeednews.com/article/ryancb…

okay: it's time to say no to your family vice.com/en/article/qjp… believe me that i get the impulse to want to try and construct the perfect argument, find the perfect angle, assemble perfect logic so that no one could possibly not understand. some people don't understand because they don't want to. in that case you just have to say "no"

hm in the process of trying to find out if tana mongeau got any PPP loans i've learned lexisnexis lists her age as 30, not 22 as the rest of the internet says in fairness, i've now looked through all the yearbooks from her high school from 2004-2009 and she is not in any of them, so either she is younger than that, she missed picture day (they don't seem to have any "not pictured" students), or she didn't go to that high school

earnest tweet but my partner @chezseamus spent the last five months writing and producing this mini-doc (ENTIRELY remotely) on everything Trump ignored and actively destabilized to cause 192,000 people to die it's narrated by Jeffrey Wright, it's free on YouTube, and has all the the facts on exactly what Trump did that lead to this bullshit situation we are in now. You can watch a preview here but please check out the whole thing above too

i have some issues with the idea that facebook is the canary in the coal mine of genuine american political sentiment laid out in this post nytimes.com/2020/08/27/tec… 1) it cites “millions” of interactions for conservative pages like ben shapiro’s, based on CrowdTangle data. CrowdTangle doesn’t distinguish between organic interactions and interactions that come from paid promotion for non-ad, “organic” posts.
