🔥Battle ropes—great for indoor or outdoor training. Low-cost gear, high impact. At Malden’s #Fitness Court, I walk through grip techniques and rope variations you can build on—whether you’re just getting started or leveling up.

At 50 years young, I know: strength is for everyone. 💯

📣Bridging the Gap: #Fitness and #Healthcare for Healthy Aging

📌With over 20 years in the fitness industry and as an EMT-B, I’ve seen firsthand the unnecessary divide between the #medical and fitness communities. It’s time we break down these barriers and work together to build a healthier future.

🎯Preventive care is the cornerstone of healthy aging. That’s why I always encourage my clients, no matter their fitness level, to schedule annual checkups. These regular appointments are …

… crucial for early detection and maintaining overall well-being.

➡️ But the bridge goes both ways. I urge the medical community to recognize and collaborate with local fitness professionals. We’re more than just movement experts; we’re a vital #community resource for accessible fitness, #wellness events, and guiding individuals toward healthy, active lives.

💪🏾Let’s build a stronger, more integrated network for healthy living, together. - #Coach Julio

Don’t call it a comeback — gyaru culture never left, says anime artist Ayaka Ohira. And her series “Shinsei Galverse” is taking the sensibility to new frontiers. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/community/2025/07/24/our-lives/ayaka-ohira-shinsei-galverse/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #community #ourlives #anime #gyaru #ayakaohira #shinseigalverse

In this blog post, I share my recent experiences with #Bluesky as a platform for scientific exchange. I see both advantages and risks: #Bluesky offers new opportunities, but I also miss key aspects of #Mastodon that have grown important to me ( #privacy, #sustainability, #community, #opensource). For now, I use both. In the post, I reflect on what each platform gets right (and wrong) for science.

🇻🇳Ngon quá! That's Vietnamese for "So delicious!" 😋

Today was a perfect example of the wonderful community we have at the Malden Senior Center! Before my strength class, one of our Vietnamese members surprised me with homemade spring rolls and sauce. So grateful for this surprise treat! ✨

What kindness have you seen today?

I was sitting by a lock on the River Thames and I noticed a boat come through and then start to do a strange reverse manouver. Then the man driving the boat called out to someone on the other side of the river and asked her to press the button to close the gates.

I realised he was trying to reverse to press the button himself but when she kindly did it for him he carried on down the river.

A reminder the RFF directory of artists lives on and continues to grow at https://indieart.support/

It is the biggest consented list of fedi present artists around. Discover music, writing, spoken, and visual artists and THEIR preferred support links.

While original scope was heavily music and fedi, that is expanding more and more.

Message @hello or e-mail to be added. It's not automated as #community care is taken to not platform those who punch down.

Neighbors Helping Neighbors 🤝🏽

🌵This weekend I propagated a stem cutting from my parent cactus—a gift I received not long ago—and passed it along to a neighbor.

For me, plants are a quiet reminder to stay grounded and keep growing✨

Ahoy friends. Please share some things you've enjoyed so far from #RFFF25 Radio Free Fedi Fest

Obviously things heard/seen, but also vibes, connections, a new discovery, a feel, all the things.

I've noticed more than a few people realising artists have projects or monikers they hadn't checked out before and were chuffed to explore.

Something fun or motivating from chat as an artist or attendee?

Heaps more events to come all month long:
