I’ve always loved sports; so that part’s easy, personally. But I’ve also learned to kind of savor the feeling of using my muscles and getting tired. Whatever I’m doing, or even on days where I didn’t have time to “exercise”, I make a point to check in on different parts of my body, maybe tense them or stretch; just trying to notice what feels good and then really savor that feeling. I find that building that mental practice helps motivate me to seek out exercise, or power through when I’m not really enjoying a particular activity.

Cool story, bro. How do you propose to do that? You got a magic wand? How many of those ballot initiatives failed this time around?

Nope, but as with so many discussions of this nature, this question misses the nuance of why women’s sports exist.

Didn’t see the NPR article, but this absolutely rings true to me. I live in a blue city in a red state. We were littered by Green Party ads for the primaries that were funded by right wing groups. I wouldn’t say that the far left and far right are working together, but the right is for sure posing as leftist in local outlets and actively encouranging the left’s tendency to eat their own.
