A video about taxes, and back pain

it's been 5,000 years.....
(a bit longer than) 5 years ago I made a storytime animation with an offhand comment about how i'd be making videos about taxes and back pain 5 years in the future. as of the youtube rite i have now upheld my duty to confirm the continuity of the timeline by making the exact video which was prophesied approximately 5 years ago

a lot of people get back pain from mounding stresses when you would otherwise be healthy. if you cant get checked out at a doctor maybe try examining your life in case its not a disease and its just strain. there are resources online. id recommend back pain stretches, exercises, good sitting + sleep posture, and taking breaks from sitting for long periods.

Dude, I filled out my taxes and the tax office tracked down EVERY SINGLE social media account of mine (yes, even my DevianArt I used as I was 13) and wanted a tax statement to every single one of them😂😭 No, I didnt earn ANYTHING with those, ever, and in the end they even had to pay me money back. Also I can highly relate to the passion thing- but for me the passion just shifted. While I loved doing YT Videos, my passion shifted from single person projects to entire team efforts, which is why I put all my work into my portfolio to be able to join cool studios. But with the industry being problematic at the moment, I do hope of the rise of more Indie Animations!

[@chazzyboi1w3]

one thing that i HATE, the feeling you get when you either trip, where your legs immediatly jerk around, and the feeling you get like you landed and it completely ruins the time it took, like it puts adrenaline in your veins and keeps you awake

[@RealSemiComp]

The best thing I found for back pain is to 1 exercise your back carefully the muscles will help a lot 2. to avoid using the back of chairs till your body says it needs support for a few mins at a time and try to sit straight not leaning forward or back. When it comes to matressess you have 2 options 1 find something so soft and cool you sink into it while keeping your back semi- straight or option 2 find one just firm enough you don't sink into it anything else will destablize your back or put too much pressure on it.

[@Posh_Quack]

The chair falling back is worse when you have one that the adjustment slowly creeps towards being unlocked, so it is completely normal one moment and then you lean back and just drop

Also a good one to do during/after wearing a binder. Feels absolutely incredible. 😁 Taxes are....taxes. Ugh.

For me i pretty much got screwed by scoliosis so i'm doomed with back issues and yet i'll sleep like a pretzel (and yet also refuse to sit up for a while while (while?) doing anything.).
