If anyone could help a disabled, housebound dude who’s currently without care out with the cost of some food and meds, I’d appreciate it. Sorry. ko-fi.com/malibudarby

Just recently I reached 500 workouts on Hevy and thinking back, it's wild to realize I've been on this journey for this long now. There were lots of workouts before using it, but seeing that number officially logged, and looking at myself, I find the biggest feeling is just being proud of that.

Here’s a #FlexFriday for y’all! Almost to 500 logged workouts in Hevy which is wild to think 🫪

If anyone can help with the cost of some essentials, I would greatly appreciate it. Trying to raise about £150 to cover: My overdue broadband. Food until next week. Bleach/cleaning supplies. My supplementary meds/painkillers. ko-fi.com/malibudarby

Stop fucking using genAI. Not even for a joke, not even for that oh so cutting political satire. Every time you use it, you are actively taking food out of our mouths. You are using the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it.

Thank you for everyone who has helped recently. Sorry to have to ask again, but I’m currently without pain meds or travel costs for needed physiotherapy. For context, I have Multiple Sclerosis, hyper mobility, and nerve damage. ko-fi.com/malibudarby

Y’alllllllll, after a couple of months of searching I finally got a job offer that starts next month!! Phew! 😮‍💨 Feeling reeeeeally good now. Same area of work as before, and I’ll be gainfully employed again soon. 😁

New gym opened up with brand new equipment near me, and the *amount* of excitement my body is feeling at going would absolutely shock the person I was a little over 3 years ago 😆 Wild to think about that on my journey, but I am so ready! 💪🏻🔥

Hey everyone! Bummer of a life update - Ya boi is unemployed. Had some changes at work happen which means I am out of my current job. Thankfully I have a lot of support to keep me going for a bit on the job search, but I’m always open to any advice! Or just send good vibes, either way! ❤️

Oh 🥹 First picture, 2021, probably at my heaviest, if not close to it. Add in 400 workouts (technically more since I was tracking elsewhere before I started using Hevy). And uhhhhh, holy shit. That’s me. I cannot believe this is where I am at now.

I was gently reminded (thanks phone) that these pictures are a year apart is blowing my mind!! [Left is from March 2025, right is from yesterday for reference] I do not take my journey for granted, it’s taken literal years at this point, but I am very proud of it. I can’t wait to see where I go 😊

Fitness is weird because I’ve not lost weight, lately I’ve gained some (which is fine!) and I’m maybe 5 pounds less than where I was a year ago, but to think it’s mostly muscle feels weird in my brain? Comparing these pictures is crazy to me. Fitness is weird, bodies are weird 😆

Mutual aid request: a few weeks ago, I had a tooth break. Had a temporary fit, but need to have it properly reconstructed. Need to raise £557 more to pay for travel & private reconstruction as my local service for disabled patients has a wait time of 45 weeks. Any and all help greatly appreciated 🧡

Personal win: Reached 300 workouts logged in Hevy! I feel like so much has changed since I began, even before logging routines in the app, that I just am happy to see the numbers move up as I go. I feel like this exercise thing is working? 😳 Very happy, very proud of myself for sure 😁

Screenshot of the Hevy app that reads: “300 Workouts, that’s 346 hours of effort and 9,497,318 lbs lifted. Solid work!”

I chibi-died the protags of my latest finished manuscript, Slash Fiction - a gay, Section 28 meta-horror. Edits and revisions are delayed while I work on stuff for Curtis Brown Creative and Penguin Michael Joseph, but I managed to do this, just for fun 💪🥸

Cute chibi illustrations of two characters: Nate Forester, and Lisa Campbell. Nate is a young white man with chin length, shaggy dark hair and a soul patch. He’s wearing black jeans and a Scream tee shirt, holding a rounders bat. He has a nose splint and bruised eyes. Lisa is a young black woman with an undercut bob with blue streaks, an overall gothic style, including a black hoodie, a blue checkered skirt, red tights, black boots and a black choker. She’s wielding an electric iron.

Okay, found a better example of my year of progress. (Heads up for shirtless pics! I don’t normally post them but hey, why not?) December 2024 -> December 2025 Honestly I’m getting really excited about where this next year could lead, but seeing this has put a lot into perspective 🥹
