I’ve been wanting to do this for a while so imma do it.
I recently saw a post on a magazine shaming women’s bodies, even though their bodies were NATURAL, which reminded me of a post a while back that touched on it as well, and I’d like to offer my experience.
This is my body.
As you can see I’m what people may consider “skinny.” Many people have given me remarks about how skinny I am, how they wish they had my body, etc, etc.
But this is the important thing. Here is what my lower torso looks like in natural bending/seated positions…
Skin and muscle are naturally supposed to fold and roll, it’s just how are bodies are designed, it’s how we work.
OH MY GOD YES
THANK GOD SOMEONE SAID IT
PEOPLE NEED TO BE BODY POSITIVE, NOT JUST FOR YOURSELF BUT FOR EVERYONE AROUND YOU
DON’T BE AFRAID TO COMPLIMENT THAT SHIT DOES SO MUCH GOOD FOR THIS ELUSIVE THING CALLED SELF-CONFIDENCE
D-did Horikoshi just… just pulled out a Naruto on the land of waves to us? Like… Bakugou: “My body move on its own” type of thing? Is this Naruto 101 from the bonds development class?
If you don’t like what I’m saying, whether it be about my family’s experiences, the fandom’s I’m in, my life in general, just unfollow me. Don’t send anon hate, it’s immature and honestly I have enough shit to deal with on a daily basis.
My anon is on in case someone wants to ask me a question but has anxiety over asking, it may help alleviate the anxiety. It’s not there for people to be assholes over my disdain for communism and to call me a facist.
If you you like the outdoors please consider spots that are not only less popular, but maybe that you didn’t even know were spots.
You may say “the popular parks are popular because they’re the best!” And there may be some truth to that. But the BEST places I’ve ever been – the least peopley, most natural, most full of animals and bones and flowers and water features, and most interesting to explore–have always been completely random. Not even unpopular parks, just….not parks!
The fields at the end of some cul-de-sac. BLM and DOT land. That weird copse of trees behind a pile of trash by the beach. A lake full of borax on the side of the road.
You don’t have to assume all land without “Welcome to This Official Park” signs and bathrooms and giftshops is de facto private land, guarded by a legion of snipers ready to illegally murder anyone who steps on it without even asking them to leave first, and also they don’t care enough to put up fences or even signs.
Yes I know you heard of someone who blatantly trespassed on clearly-labeled land for 10,000 hours and got in trouble for it eventually…but seriously, you CAN just wander into fields that don’t have any indication of ownership sometimes.
Anyway here’s some pics that I can’t tell you where they’re from exactly because it’s not a park with a name to share.
If you were ever told or were made to learn cursive writing when you were in grade school. I wanna see how many of you suffered like I did.
i think i’m showing my age when i say that i learned cursive as a standard method of handwriting and thought nothing of it. it was the natural progression from learning how to trace the letters of the printed alphabet, with the implication that as we graduated from simple words and sentences, so did our lettering. cursive was the standard for all our in-class assignments and tests, though i don’t know if it was generally adhered to.
these days i type more than write – my typed wpm far outstrips my handwritten wpm – but i still do write using this method; when i’m brainstorming and drafting, it’s best to take a pen to paper, and cursive transmits my ideas fluidly.
still, i’m not surprised that it’s becoming an outdated method of writing in a digital era: rapid and accurate typed wpm is probably more of an asset for students and teachers alike. what sort of handwriting (if any) does take place in classrooms these days? i suppose it’s all printed lettering, which seems time-consuming and prone to illegibility imo. but i guess if it works for them?
the important thing is being able to write in such a way that you communicate your ideas coherently and effectively, in whatever method that accomplishes it: cursive lettering, printed lettering, a hybrid of both? i don’t know. i only know that cursive has always worked for me.
