the universe's favorite resting bitch face — perfectly balanced, refusing to lift a finger more.
means A state of balance where opposing forces or influences cancel out, leaving a system stable and unchanging.
from Straight from Latin aequilibrium, a tidy welding of aequus 'equal, level' and libra 'a balance, a pair of scales' — the same libra that names the zodiac sign and once weighed Roman goods. So at its root the word literally pictures two scale-pans hanging in perfect, motionless agreement, neither dipping nor rising.
