Listen. Iām gonna level with you. Iām gonna be straight with you. Iām gonna be up front about this.
I already donāt know what Overwatch is. Thereās a gorilla and some lesbians and guns but yall never play the gorilla I donāt know. And then sometimes if that wasnāt bad enough sometimes you go and just invent new Overwatches. Like just when Iām getting a handle on whatĀ āJunkrat kin discourseā is yall show up withĀ āThis is my new OC her name is Grandma Sniperā and then SHEāS part of the Overwatchers.Ā āThis is Swedish Beefcakeā could yall? not?? I still donāt know what a Hanzo is. I know itās an insult but I donāt know what it means.
āThis is my new doctor OC she hangs out with Angela Mercy her name is Moriartyā yall are just making things up now. no oneās explained the gorilla yet. put the doctor away yall already have like a fucking half angel or something. stop just adding characters to the cast i still dont know what the plot is. whats the plot?? no one ever talks about the plot i just know Soldier 69 and his best friend Anakin Skywalker had a fight about something. is there a plot??? i dont think there is!
Iām pretty sure yall are just playing Super Smash Bros and youāre likeĀ āyeah uh huh theres a plot theres lore see Grandma Sniper used to be part of Overwatch the Prequelā but then yall just play 10,000 hours of SSB with 18 Grandma Snipers on the field and two Junkrats goingĀ āyeah deep loreā
Whos. Whos even the Turgbjorn guy? What did he do??
I honestly believe the whole āadults require less sleepā thing is honest to god probably a myth created by capitalism
It is.
i honestly believe that sleep deprivation is the biggest ignored/neglected root cause of health dangers that prematurely kill adults
ask me sometime about the role of sleep in the leptin ghrelin cycle and how its interruption destabilizes weight homeostasis
or about the new research showing that heart disease is not caused by fat, like we thought for years, but by inflammation in the circulatory system whose root cause is unknown but one of the prime suspects is, you guessed it, sleep deprivation
but nobody wants to hear that lack of sleep is killing people. employers donāt want to hear it. and god knows that having sold their waking hours to capitalism to survive workers donāt want to lose the only time they have left to them to live their lives, mostly stolen from sleep
i mean even i donāt want to do anything about it and i loveĀ sleep, i just love overwatch more
this this this this this
our society places almost zero value on sleep
on enough sleep
on uninterrupted sleep
on regular, predictable, cycling sleep
all the evidence we have suggests sleep is really, really, really important to the processes of the human body, including both mental and physical health, and yet when was the last time you heard somebody suggest that people had a *right* to sufficient, regular sleep?
Reminder thatĀ
– Humans are not meant to sleep for extended periods of uninterrupted sleep.Ā
By this I donāt meanĀ āhumans shouldnāt have 8+ hours of sleep a nightā;Ā I mean that we are supposed to sleep for four to five hours (ish), then get up and do something relaxing like reading for a half hour to an hour, then get another bout of four to five hours. This is what our bodies were designed for.Ā
Sleeping the whole night through was a fad started with the advent of the lightbulb. Sleeping the whole night through is so recent (and artificial) that First Sleep and Second Sleep are mentioned in Dickensā novels.
– Lack of sleep for even a single nightĀ severely compromises your immune system.
If youāre planning on getting little sleep or pulling an all-nighter, make sure to eat lots of fruit and veggies/take vitamins that day. Or even better, get yourself some bee propolis. Itās a natural remedy used for thousands of yearsĀ in Latin America and is insanely good for boosting up compromised immune systems (if you get the drop kind, put 3 to 4 drops in a spoonful of honey and mix well with a 2nd spoon to mask the strong taste). It has no side effects and is all but impossible to overdoseĀ on.
– According to several government bodies around the world, chronic lack of sleep is literally tied forĀ 1st place as the worst kind of torture (the other is solitary isolation)
– Expecting a teen to get up for 8:30 classes is the equivalent of expecting an adult to be at work at 4 am.
After babies, teens are the age group that needsĀ the most amount of sleep. Puberty is exhausting, and the body needs time to recharge. Ideally, a teen should be getting between 10 to 12 hours of sleep at the bare minimum. Most teens are lucky if they manage to get 8. And thatās a gigantic problem; not only does lack of sleep affect mood (which is extra significant when your hormones are already riding a rollercoaster to begin with), but also has massive effects on growth, which is kinda what the whole puberty thing is supposed to be about.
– Humans were not designed to have the same sleep cycle across the species. Much the opposite in fact.
Night owls and morning people are an actual thing. Because weāre pack creatures, Nature came up with a clever way for our ancestors to always have someone on the lookout for predators and threats: make people naturally alert at varying times so that thereās always someone alert to keep watch.Ā
Forcing night owls to follow morning peopleās sleep cycle means night owls live with what researchers have referred to as āpermanent jetlagā.
So apparently last year the National Park Service in the US dropped an over 1200 page study of LGBTQ American History as part of their Who We Are program which includes studies on African-American history, Latino history, and Indigenous history.Ā
Like. This is awesome. But also it feels very surreal that maybe one of the most comprehensive examinations of LGBTQ history in America (it covers sports! art! race! historical sites! health! cities!) was just casually done by the parks service.Ā
