I have a friend who pretty much drinks nothing but tea. No water, coffee, alcohol, soft drinks etc. And he does get his 2-3 litres of fluids per day in like that.

Sorry, I just realized the article is longer than i thought. I mistook an ad intermission for the end. It does go a little bit into it. Not a lot, but enough to puzzle it together. Thanks.

I was like this about books as a teen, one time i accidentally pulled an all nighter on a school night. Well, I realized it was 5am and figured there's no point in sleeping for 2 hours.

Thank you so much for your concern, I appreciate it! But I'm not in an unhealthy environment! There's usually a feminist march happening on women's day, which I like to attend. I guess it's just culturally a little different. I do like your idea tho, haha

ETA: thinking about it some more, I often hear it called day of the feminist fight instead of women's day, at least in my leftie circles. So I guess my experience is just that it's more about the feminist fight than it is about wholesome appreciation of women. As such, I guess it has less mainstream appeal. It'd be nice to have both, though!

But like. Why do you think women's day is more well known? Because men popularized it for them? Women popularized it for themselves, so it only makes sense that men's day would be popularized by men.

Fwiw I'm not in a place where men wish a happy women's day, let alone give flowers. Women usually post 'happy women's day' images to group chats of other women.

We had Minecraft and Lego as kids as well and still played outside a lot. I thought that mix was still mostly normal, is it not?

I know it'll hit women in additional ways because of intersectionality. But being displaced due to climate change is horrible regardless. Why do we gender the aid for this issue?

I mean, it makes sense to give different assistance in getting back on your feet, for example since women have a harder time in most workplaces. Especially if they're the primary or sole child carers. But the displacement itself?

Not being disingenuous, just looking for some insight.

One time I went on a dating app date, was nice. Met her again at a party, went on for drinks just the two of us, made out, she walked me home. Then I had a horrible, horrible bout of depression where I didn't check my phone at all for about two months. So, that's one instance of what's going on in the persons mind.

Did you notice the second sentence starts with 'jokes aside'

Could've shot him in the face and then got a presidential pardon. Jokes aside, so many people overestimate the power of the US president.

I do this already simply because I shower at night and prefer to apply to clean skin. Always thought I was just a pretty unsweaty person. TIL

 

It feels like every time I look at it, it's a different colour ✨

I apologize for how negative that sounds! It's been 3 months. I unfortunately can't be as consistent as I'd like because of chronic utis. I currently go about 8-10 km/h for 20 mins at a time, 2-3 times a week when I'm healthy. I keep at it because I've noticed a boost in my general energy and mood, but I hate pretty much every second of actually running. I read that that's normal as you start out, especially if you start from zero like I did. But I've also read you eventually start to tolerate and then later enjoy it. How long did it take for you to get to that point?

Edit: 5 month update on case someone stumbles across this. My progress is slow, due to frequent breaks due to my frequent colds and UTIs. I'm at 30min 5k. Running still sucks, in part, but it also feels...powerful? I've learned to pace myself and run slower, so I'm not all spent after 10 mins. It's difficult, but I think running too fast really was the biggest problem. Now what I feel during a run is a mix of 'ughgh I hate cardio' and 'this is amazing, I'm powerful, I can do anything I want'. That's enough to keep motivated. The reason I keep it up is that the former feeling ends soon after the end of the run, but the latter one persists. I try to run twice a week. If I have the time, I go on a hike instead (I live in the mountains). I enjoy those a lot more, but they take up several hours as opposed to 30mins for a run. It's helped me tremendously with my depression, so it's so worth it.

Tldr: I still don't enjoy every second of running, but pacing myself made it more enjoyable than before. And it's SO worth the mood boost and extra energy (even on rest days). I have depression and I've never felt this good in my entire 10 years of being an adult.

 

This would've been much easier with tape but I didn't have any lol

 

A polished nail feels differently in my mouth, which is enough to make me realize I'm doing it and then to stop myself. Here's my current mani vs one of my first

 

Not really asking for advice, just sharing my setup in hopes of kinda activating this community :)
