For @hindumythologyevent. Day 10: Dashavatar.

Tagging the three mods: @1nsaankahanhai-bkr @soniaoutloud and @allegoriesinmediasres

I’m technically choosing one Avatar outside of the Dashavatar, too, though Krishn is an incarnation of Narayana and is one of the Dashavatar, canonically.

The Avatar outside of the traditional Dashavatar is Nara, who is Narayana’s soul brother and embodies the perfect man, as opposed to Narayana, who embodies the spiritual God, as far as I could interpret the text.

The edit is for one of my favourite verses of the Mahabharata.

नारायणं नमस्कृत्य नरं चैव नरोत्तमम् | देवीं सरस्वतीं व्यासं ततो जयमुदीरयेत् ||

The edit deals with the first part of the Shloka. 

The full shloka is translated as this:

I bow to Narayana (Krishn) and Nara (Arjun), the most exalted of men. Taking the name of Devi Saraswati and Vyasa, I start reciting Jaya (Mahabharata).

Incidentally, Jaya/Vijaya is another one of Arjun’s names, as far as I know. 

The art I used are all stock photos, except the photo of Krishn and Arjun (art) by @Ruint on Twitter.

Warfare and Strategy

Prideful and ambitious, your followers come to you for guidance and luck in battles they feel are too much for them. you embody the bravery and bloodlust of warfare and the battle intelligence for strategy and leadership. Your patience tends to thin around those who don’t respect you or question your intelligence and strength.

She grins like an overachieving toddler, so damn proud of herself that Tywin wants to unreasonably laugh.

as if nature isn't the most prolific storyteller out there!! with her layers of sediment and mountain-top fossils. with her trodden down paths and carved out river beds. with her fresh springs and billowing waterfalls. rotting branches and hollowed tree trunks... creeping coastlines and collapsing cliff faces... a living record of time immemorial; both an archiver and witness!!

Happy birthday, Arjun! (It’s Phalgun Purnima today, and it’s his birthday!)

Also the day his father died according to Southern recession, because the man can’t catch a break 🥹

Me, on a 36+ hour shift: (yawns and turns to patient): Ma’am, sleep for at least 6-8 hours everyday is necessary.

Patient: *silently looks me over head to toe*

It’s hilarious to me that we advise all sorts of healthy habits to patients, meanwhile my habits? One meal a day, uses the facilities maybe once, twice if I’m lucky, a bunch of junk food to keep me awake, needles in my hands to inject patients with when I’m barely awake. I’m honestly feeling pity for my patients.

Everything You Know About Obesity Is Wrong
For decades, the medical community has ignored mountains of evidence to wage a cruel and futile war on fat people, poisoning public percepti
The Huffington Post|Michael Hobbes
"For 60 years, doctors and researchers have known two things that could have improved, or even saved, millions of lives. The first is that diets do not work. Not just paleo or Atkins or Weight Watchers or Goop, but all diets. Since 1959, research has shown that 95 to 98 percent of attempts to lose weight fail and that two-thirds of dieters gain back more than they lost. The reasons are biological and irreversible. As early as 1969, research showed that losing just 3 percent of your body weight resulted in a 17 percent slowdown in your metabolism—a body-wide starvation response that blasts you with hunger hormones and drops your internal temperature until you rise back to your highest weight. Keeping weight off means fighting your body’s energy-regulation system and battling hunger all day, every day, for the rest of your life.
The second big lesson the medical establishment has learned and rejected over and over again is that weight and health are not perfect synonyms. Yes, nearly every population-level study finds that fat people have worse cardiovascular health than thin people. But individuals are not averages: Studies have found that anywhere from one-third to three-quarters of people classified as obese are metabolically healthy. They show no signs of elevated blood pressure, insulin resistance or high cholesterol. Meanwhile, about a quarter of non-overweight people are what epidemiologists call “the lean unhealthy.” A 2016 study that followed participants for an average of 19 years found that unfit skinny people were twice as likely to get diabetes as fit fat people."

A surprising article to find on the Huffington post. I think, especially towards the end, there's still a saturation of healthism and diet talk (just of the "clean eating" variety), but the information about weight discrimination is absolutely on point, especially within the medical field ignoring decades of research.

Not only do we know that weight loss isn't sustainable or possible, we also know that weight discrimination kills, in a myriad of ways. If you actually care about "health" then start unlearning your weight bias NOW and realize that fat people are just people who are a different shape.

And this article doesn't even touch on "the obesity paradox"(the fact that fat people survive heart attacks and injuries BETTER THAN thin people) or the fact that dieting, especially "yo-yo dieting," is a better predictor for heart disease than weight, and that many of the fat people who have cardiovascular diseases have a long history of dieting that (understandably) didn't work.

encouraged to rb but fatphobes will just be blocked.
