the sad part is that there is no opposite of impostor syndrome
feeling competent doesn't really feel like anything
it feels like "huh they're hitting the ball at me fairly slowly" or "why can't these people do basic things right?"

God that’s so fucking true.
Do you find the feminine form (hip sway, hourglass figure, long hair) arousing? || Do you find vaginas aversive/gross?
— Aella (@Aella_Girl) July 30, 2022
Don’t really care about hip sway, hourglass figure, or long hair at all. I mean, it’s fine either way, but a lot of the things that are supposed to be feminine do nothing or nearly nothing for me. Physically, not being fat matters a lot to me. And no tattoos. I’d never date someone long-term with tattoos because they turn me off too much. I don’t really have an ideal type, though I prefer women on the taller-than-average side. Personality makes so much difference, though — this is all just broad generalization.
And for the most part I’d prefer having my tongue in or on someone’s vagina* than mouth. After all, most women don’t stuff food in their vaginas. So no, I don’t find vaginas gross at all. Quite the opposite, to say the least!
I was looking for photos of a more preferred figure and got bored, so instead enjoy this photo of two twin contortionists/gymnasts that I think is cute:
Their names are Julietta and Magdalena (not their real names). Bonus photo of them:
That said, I think they have pretty ideal female bodies (for my taste). Athletic, trim, no tattoos, and obviously confident. Confidence does in fact go a long way.
*Yes, I know anatomically where the vagina is. I’m using the colloquial phrasing here.

That was conventional wisdom among tankie liberals like Ian Welsh back then.
He sounds like a real catch.
Another point: if men truly were obsessed with sex as many women believe they are, stuff like this would never, ever happen.
The first ten on today’s playlist:
Anyone who makes pesto with kale is on the side of evil.
Botanists are disappearing – just when the world needs them most.
Too much quant bullshit in science. Excel spreadsheets and R are great, but don’t lead to much deep knowledge, just the illusion thereof.
Great version and Lucy Schwartz is such a fun singer with an adorable stage personality. The Schwartz is with her.
It’s such a weird bit of canonical belief among libs now that weighing less than a damn fully-loaded tractor-trailer is impossible. Especially as within living memory encountering an obese person used to be pretty rare. How do you think so poorly?
What makes it even stranger is that there seems to be no impetus to interrogate this massive change and to understand what brought it about. It fucking sucks being the size of a Mack truck and people are just ok with it? I don’t understand.
your nan visiting Florida once a year is not what’s killing the planet.
Doesn’t matter. The libs just hate travel, so if they can take it away from us they sure will.

I knew a guy in North Florida who stole 13 cars in a single month. Last I heard, he was in jail for a very long time.
Much to the annoyance of American friends, I often cite how a middling European economy like Spain without a particularly sterling public sector produces infrastructure Americans can only dream about.

Traveling to many other countries feels like jumping 50 years into the future when you come from the US. It’s kind of shocking how bad we’ve let everything get when you see how it could be.
Most high blood pressure in children and teenagers is linked with unhealthy lifestyle.
One of the main reasons I absolutely loathe the Fat Acceptance movement is this. I saw a family today when we were out where every single member was fat. The adults, I couldn’t care less. But I felt really sad for the kids who had this inflicted on them with no choice in the matter. They’re fucked for life now because they grew up in such a household.
The Fat Acceptance movement needs to be destroyed. It is a terrorist organization.
This is the other part of gentrification. My aunt had someone try to call the city & say her place was uninhabitable because they wanted to buy it and she wasn't selling.

Very common tactic, not just against Black people, but any poor people in general.
