Don’t Let Anybody Tell You That You’re Safe

It’s the muscles I forget about
The ones I don’t often get a chance to exercise
Those ones
They are the sneakiest
And while the burn is worth it
As I struggle to get up
As I run the warm water over my body
All I can think about is when
Because I need it
Workouts are rough in the winter
But you should get ready for spring

Batter up. Hopeful for fun.
And warmer days.
 
Here’s the thing. Much has been said about the new format and some people have become more comfortable with it and that’s good.

It may not be reared toward ampic posters like me though.

An ampic thread requires interaction. This has been a source of difficulty for me for several years. I understand that lit isn’t as vibrant as it once was. I understand that I’m older and not quite as fun to look at too.

This is a public service announcement as I do not feel I’m alone.

I think reactions may be the nail in the coffin. It’s fun seeing a notification for a reaction, but reactions do little to create interaction.

In the past somebody may used to go to a thread and “bump” it in order to get the OP’s attention.

Reactions are nearly the opposite of a bump. It allows a thread to sink further down and pulls attention further from the post.

It would be different if there were notifications that let one know that another poster reacted to this picture so go check it out. It’s not like that.

I’m an occasional poster regardless. I’ve accepted my place (not really).

Note that I’ve fed you that bit.

Have some breakfast.

Even though it’s not really the most important meal of the day.

And, yes, I have a bad habit of eating while cooking.
 
The PSA got lost somewhere between the omelet and bare chest.. just saying.

But yes, I concur with you on all that you said. Hell, I didn't even realize you had been posting on your thread till it was pointed out to me. I miss the old way of seeing updated threads.
