I didn’t even grow up somewhere with trains and I still learned to STAND ON THE RIGHT, WALK ON THE LEFT on escalators, so please tell me, entire ass adults in their 50s: what the fuck is your excuse for acting like it’s your first day on earth?

Flowater is some fuckass nonsense. If your water needs to be filtered seven times it probably shouldn’t be drunk at all, and the last step being coconut carbon means I am literally ALLERGIC TO WATER.

I just started day 4 of a methylprednisolone pack (also benzonotate; I’m having respiratory stuff) and I also have the itchiest skin lately, with red welts everywhere. Shouldnt that be damn near impossible while on a STEROID?

It’s prob bc I’m tired & sick & craving carbs that I’m saying this publicly but I will never forgive the publishing industry for getting so cheap, sloppy & lazy that they let workshop, outline-level garbage shit go out as galleys now instead of doing their actual goddamn jobs & demanding excellence

Pettiest hill I will die on is despising when authors reference pop culture to seem down while misspelling whatever reference they’re making. You don’t know that Cristina Yang has no H? You don’t know Stephenie Meyer’s name is spelled a stupid way? Fuck you

Took my first dose of Slow Fe on Monday & didn't think much of it (except for being grateful it didn't make me feel queasy). I start my Tuesdays at 5am (I teach at 6:30), and nearly every week I need a nap by like 1. This week I didn't, and it just occurred to me--is this having sufficient iron?

Every activewear company: We're SO unique--our products come in XXS-L only, do not acknowledge butts/hips unless they are the same circumference as waists & breasts & only fit a C cup bc we don't actually know how bra sizing & breast volume work. Aren't we so special? Why are you mad at us?

anyway a week and a day later my knee is still swollen and I hate it. Either be tetanus/osteomyelitis or go away; I hate indeterminate injuries

Sunday before last I bumped my knee into a chair and thought absolutely nothing of it, and then a moment later I thought I’d spilled my drink but it turned out to be a fucking waterfall of arterial blood running down my leg

How did we somehow keep saying “miniseries” for something that’s like ten episodes while allowing these people to give us six episodes in 24 months and call it a “season?”

Tooms not actually dying in that escalator and coming back in 2023? BJ Morrow’s baby growing up and reenacting Coakley’s crimes? Donnie Pfaster being, well, Donnie Pfaster? Much better than the absolute disrespectful, I hate my fans and also logic, fuck my creations garbage Carter gave us

I think a more interesting approach to the X Files revival series would have been follow-ups on old cases that had “ooh, but there’s still a child who could grow up” or “but they didn’t eradicate everything.”

I feel kind of shitty posting a blog post about something so relatively light compared to *gestures*, but we live complicated lives while living under dark times, so anyway, I talked about my dislike of the divide between traditional fitness & studio fitness bookishfit.wordpress.com/2026/09/11/a...

actually, you don’t have to stay in the gym
As a gym girlie and a studio fitness babe, it drives me nuts that I have like 238497023894 different fitness and health tracking apps and not a single one is comprehensive. Withings won’t fix…

You guys I’m at the hotel bar at the after after party of the Emmys and somehow I punctured my knee and ruined the whole vibe by being covered in blood but I just realized it’s very Romy White of me. IYKYK

Another year at the Emmys watching creative and technical geniuses be honored and celebrated, and another year of me wondering why publishing doesn’t ever do the same thing in any of its awards.

*dear functionally illiterate people: the scare quotes are there because EYE know it’s not more sanitary and I am just quoting shitty men

I for one am completely okay with the latest lookmaxxing trend being removing your eyelashes because I think the men who will do that and the men who tell girls to get Brazilians because it’s hotter and “more sanitary”* is nearly a circle and they deserve to get what they dished out.

My lifts are finally getting heavy enough for me to understand why people take off their rings when they strength train, which feels like a true achievement! I know they’re not too tight bc since my blood pressure went down after moving, I learned my ring size was actually my swelling size

But most of my publishing connections are in fiction. Anyone in trade NF interested in this? Anyone in fitness who would want to read this?

I feel like with my combined professional (15+ fitness certifications, worked in box gyms, community centers, and boutiques), creative (multiple published books, book editor for years), and academic areas (PhD language, reading, and culture), I could write the shit out of this book.

How and why did pole fitness become one of the most body diverse spaces out there? What’s the deal with Pilates lawsuits and Lagree lawsuits and do you need to care?

dr. sarah HANNAH gómez @shgmclicious.bsky.social · 07/08/2026
And I want both sides to be aware of the various sociopolitical factors that are present in the history of various modalities and verticals—which things have a strong underpinning of prosperity gospel or evangelical Christianity? Where did the pink Pilates princess aesthetic come from?

how their studio classes absolutely hand them the body awareness and stamina to run, lift, swim, and so on.

dr. sarah HANNAH gómez @shgmclicious.bsky.social · 07/08/2026
I really want to write a book that explains boutique and studio fitness to the gym folks so they understand how Lagree, Pilates, barre, Zumba, etc can support their OCR/Olympic lifting/triathlon/etc AND explains to boutique people

After more than a decade working in the fitness industry, I’m tired of feeling like I’m always two people just because I do both.

dr. sarah HANNAH gómez @shgmclicious.bsky.social · 07/08/2026
Every fitness tracking app, training guide & book focuses on “traditional” fitness done in a box gym or outside. Every studio & boutique method has instagram, luxury, & vibes. If, like me, you do both, there is no 1 place you can track your training, ensure a well rounded program, or find community

Partner just had me try an electric toothbrush for the first time and I cannot even express the extent of my NOPE. I made it like 45 seconds and minutes later I can still feel my lips and gums buzzing. Why do people choose this?

Apparently I sleep like this now, according to my partner who comes to bed and has to push my legs down. Face down, legs up? What even is this? Shouldn’t my muscles be unable to retain this position if I’m actually in a real sleep phase??

Fellow chicanos, since this doesn’t seem to extend to all Latines (though if I’m wrong, tell me!), do you say híjole or do you say something more like hijuelá? And is there an accepted spelling?

I say this about ten times a year at least, but The Star Spangled Banner is one of the ugliest pieces of music ever written, and trying to unite a people with a song no one but trained vocalists can sing properly (regular people change key halfway through) is a stupid choice.
