thats-not-victorian:

Hey, guys! So, we’re all familiar with Cyberpunk and Steampunk, but there are so many more alternate histories/speculative science fiction genres out there! I came across this handy-dandy infographic and figured I could share a bit of these punk genres for anyone interested.

Steampunk
Roughly covers the Western world during the mid- to late-19th century (ie: Victorian era, US wild west, etc.), and sometimes up to the Edwardian era.

Dieselpunk
1920s up through WWII, ending at just about the Cold War.

Decopunk
A cleaner, artistic, more “optimistic” version of Dieselpunk (same time period)

Clockpunk
Covers the time of the Renaissance (think da Vinci)

Atompunk
Cold War era, ie: the Space Race

Teslapunk
Derivative of Steampunk, but focuses on electricity rather than steam.

Splatterpunk
Explicit horror and gore

Biopunk
Biotechnology, genetics (part science fiction, part real life)

Nanopunk
Nanotechnology, sometimes overlaps with Biopunk

Cyberpunk
The granddaddy of them all: computer technology, the internet, hackers, etc.

Others not included in the infographic

Elfpunk
Fantasy-based, features creatures like elves and fairies.

Mythpunk
Mythology and folklore, includes urban fantasy.

Seapunk?

Stonepunk, Bronzepunk, Plaguepunk

But mannerpunk also. ;__;

Don’t forget Nerfpunk, Rococopunk, and bullshit-slap-a-gear-on-it-and-call-it punk.

Sometimes I find myself cheating out my workout when it comes to the end, so when I saw this article, I knew I had to share it with you! So check out this list of 23 Ways To Push Through A Tough Workout:

1. Who’s really getting cheated?

Sure, no one else would know about skipping out on the last Chatarunga. But only one person loses in that situation (hint: it’s not the super-ripped chick sweating it out on the next mat).

2. Change pace.

Circuit training, a killer combination of cardio and strength training, can help break the monotony of a long workout. Run five minutes, then drop and do some push-ups. Wash, rinse, repeat.

3. Picture this.

Visualize cheering fans or crossing the finish line to bang out one more set or lap. Or just go mental: Imagine this workout is the equivalent of the Olympic trials (no big deal).

4. Grab a pal.

Work out with a fit pal who will hold you to a higher standard. Stuck going solo today? Imagine they’re still there. After all, who wants to wuss out in front of an audience?

5. Break it down.

Set mini-goals when the going gets tough. This isn’t a three-mile run— just six measly half-mile runs.

6. Savor the pain.

“Pain is weakness leaving the body,” the saying goes. Pain is also proof that this workout is tough. Clearly you’re doing something right, so why stop now? (Just know when pain is signaling something more serious.)

7. Compete.

Whether comparing against the dude on the next treadmill over or your own time last training session, competition ups the ante and helps us forget about wanting to quit.

8. Remember the end.

That post-workout high? Yeah, almost there. The struggle of that final set won’t last— and when the workout’s over, it’ll be replaced by a much better feeling: pride.

Read the rest at The Greatist!

Your mind can push your body past its physical limits!

Quick little painting of my roomie’s cat’s face. His name is Angel and tomorrow he is getting a pretty big surgical procedure done. So if you guys could pray/send good vibes/whatever you want to do for him, that would be awesome.

<3

My friend’s kitty is having big-time surgery tomorrow. He’s one of the sweetest most cuddly kitties I know, so I’m hoping it goes well for him.

<3 <3 <3 It looks so derpy, just like him! Thank you!

I never post on Tumblr, so I’m hoping my few followers can help me get this word out by reblogging…

I work for a hotel that hosts a major US con every year. I love anime and I go to cons myself, but I am going to be blunt about some of the problems we have and how we deal with them. I don’t…

Pretty much don’t cosplay Homestuck, you make people’s lives miserable. J/K

But seriously folks, this goes to cosplayers and not, please learn to show a bit of respect to your fellow congoers and the people staffing the event / working at the hotel that makes YOUR experience enjoyable.
