I posted about this in another thread but I've been going to a couple of yoga classes and the guy running one of them kept referring to upward facing dog as "up dog"

been hitting the mountain bike hard, going from ‘total lard’ to ‘mildly fit’ is great because the progress is so rapid and obvious. like the first few rides i thought I was gonna die and now I can do 5kms with a 500m rise comfortably (lots of effort, but doable). and it’s only been a few weeks of riding a couple of times a week. it’s very motivating and addictive, beginning to ride every day now

I stupidly accepted a big rear end treadmill from my brother a couple of years ago and I’ve used it 0 times. I need to round up 3 people to help me get rid of it.

Hot take: people who watch tv while running on treadmills instead of using that time as a brief respite from the sensory overload of our modern lives are sickos
