i feel so bad for goths imagine constructing a subculture where the fashion element is so rooted predominantly in ostentatious elaborate clothes like drapey dresses and cloaks and detailed makeup and teased hair and big hats and trenchcoats and the pop cultural regurgitation of it is softcore porn of cartoon girls with huge tits in black tube tops and some fishnets
weird thing about the bra size issue in the USA--the bra size issue is that most women in the USA are 100% wearing the wrong bra size, this is due to a lot of complicated factors involving how consumer capitalism intersects with patriarchy--
my actual real bra size, after i spent the time and effort to measure myself properly and try the sister sizes, is around 30DD. you guys have seen me, i am not busty. the reason i have "double Ds" is because my boob+chest circumference is around 34", a certain number of inches larger than my rib circumference alone, which is around 29" (maybe down to 28 now with the corset changes but i havent re-measured). its the ratio between the two numbers which determines cup size. this is bra size basics for the US market. Asia as a continent uses a different system that involves measurements in CM and also appears to be not actually related to the numbers on the label (bras i order from asia arrive in basically random sizes), and then the UK uses a third system which is similar to the US one but not the same.
anyway like i said i, objectively, do not have large breasts. a smallish-medium navel orange fits in one of my bra cups comfortably. theyre like television nudity sized boobs. you know the ones i mean
but because everyone else is wearing the wrong size, and women who are objectively a 34F are fucking up their backs in Victoria;'s Secret 36B bullshit, my relatively tiny bras usually have to come from "plus size" ranges and brands. its a freezing cold take but the insanity of women's sizing contributes significantly to the general allostatic background radiation of women existing at all. im a bra size evangelist and if anyone lets me get annoying about bra fit i love to do it because once i got used to the correct bras they were a game changer, and i dont even NEED that much support. i just didnt realize how bad i felt about my bras until i got good ones. BUT. its such a massive pain in the ass to figure out what size you REALLY are, including the year-long testing and adjustment period, that i cannot blame anyone for just opting out and wearing a sports bra every day, or no bra, no matter how much better they could potentially feel after all that work
it does not help that the actual product photos for bras show models in the wrong size half the time. see how the top edge is digging into her tit? and the gore (the middle where the two wires meet) is floating off her sternum? that is not supposed to happen. wrong size or cup shape for this model
here's the advanced algebra required to convert asian sizes:
Please buy according to your daily size. If there are two sizes available, such as: D or DD, it is recommended that you order the DD one size larger here. Band Size : 34=75 36=80 38=85 40=90 42=95 44=100 46=105 48=110 50=115 Size Type :Asian Size .Please takes one size up for your usual size.For example: 85C in US,90C for this one
28" (my band measurement) = 71.2cm, but im not supposed to order my band size in cm, im supposed to order a 34 band size, even though a 34 band size would be equivalent to 86.36cm, not 75 as it is shown in the text quote from the listing. plus im supposed to add sizes for "asian size" difference. so i have to assume vanity sizing has just gotten really crazy in the asian market and thats why most asian bras that ive seen are extremely padded anyway, to obliterate the actual breast shape and cover it all with foam. there are probably more fitted bras available but they just arent being exported, which is a shame because that size range would be useful to people with smaller rib cages in other regions
usa had a whole thing about "underbust plus four is your bra size" that confused several generations of americans and im not sure exactly when the new system kicked in but you will rarely find a Boomer lady who doesnt hate her bra because shes been buying the same size since she was 14 and every single one of them has been wrong
A Bra That Fits Calculator
This site does NOT try to sell you anything. It is not run by a corporation.
It also does NOT tell you to add inches to your underbust to get your band size. That is completely wrong.
(And every other website out there flat-out lies to you about this. I don’t even know why. But they have all been lying to us since at least the 1960s. It’s no wonder everyone thinks bras are so uncomfortable. All of the “standard” or “official” sizing instructions are flat-out, simply, wrong.)
Do not panic if you get a cup letter that sounds “big” (usually combined with a band size that sounds “small). Just try it on.
You’ll feel super skeptical at first. I did, too. Like “no way. I can’t be a [DD or whatever]. It’s impossible. The calculator must be broken.” But I promise. Just try it.
Also, you’re gonna want to shop UK brands and UK sizes. They actually make and sell a decent range of sizes, unlike US brands. Try BraStop.com.
My answer to "what presentation could you give at a moment's notice and with no extra preparation?" is Why Bra Sizing Is Fucked And How To Find A Bra That More Or Less Fits. This post is a pretty good guide. I also recommend Bratabase for seeing how different bras fit different sizes. BTW, almost every bra model really is in the wrong size. Once you start to see it you can't unsee it. This is a problem if, like me, you are constantly on the lookout for Actually Good Bras and Instagram feeds you ads for every specialty bra company that claims to have fixed or reinvented the bra. Yeah that ain't gonna help because your model is still! wearing! the! wrong! size! I like Understance in part because they actually size all their models correctly. Bra Fittings by Court also posts a lot of helpful before and afters.
Greatest hits of FIFA cultural exchanges thus far:
Learning about flyovers and pyrotechnics at American games being a thing
Non-americans discovering the size of American football stadiums....for high schools in texas. Also the size of our stadiums in general.
Going to baseball games as a side treat! Lmao.
Non-americans losing their minds over "like, 100 petrol pumps," at buc-ees.
Related: Americans often forget how huge target and Walmart is.
People discovering American BBQ
Non-americans being obsessed with mid American restaurant chains like Golden Corral and Taco Bell
A lot of them really did feel god in this chile's apparently
The rightful obsession with waffle house
New understanding of American Big Drink With Ice supremacy as summer creeps in
Begrudging acceptance of mandatory water breaks during games
Americans realizing we have a Team USA and we are not, in fact, just "hosting our friends" from around the world — mostly because we won our first match and our team is decent??? Not amazing but not the worst.
Side rant: us women's football team is legendary good and we should care about that more like. Hello???
Admitting Americans are right about air conditioning
Related: the english team did warm ups in Florida RIP, and also the there's a video of the French team just being like fuck the heat, fuck the sun, this is so hot...
Americans who do not normally care about international football but fucking love a sport and cheering so we're just hyping whatever team is nearby, like we see a party and just show up and learn the chant. Like sorry many of us don't know shit about soccer but if we see a bunch of people in viking helmets or kilts or holding a bunch of flags and cheering we're game.
TAILGATING!!!!
I already said this but American yellow school bus is an international celebrity
The Scottish drank Boston dry of beer apparently, like they quadrupled what Boston normally sells for fourth of July weekend. SAM ADAMS HAD TO GET AN EMERGENCY BEER DELIVERY.
Also the English team fans got kicked out of The Londoner pub in Dallas after drinking 5,000 beers and going over max capacity lmao
Free refill drinks, tortilla chips & salsa.
So many non-americans are going to be here for the 4th of July for our 250th anniversary which is going to be great and hilarious
Non-americans discovering ranch as a beloved condiment
Non-americans understanding American obsession with hamburger now
Japan's homebase is in Texas and the cultural differences are frankly great and also the Japanese fans are SO NICE and helped clean up the stadium after a match???
All the short videos with the eagle screech (which I think is actually a hawk but whatever)
On the note of Americans embracing whatever team is nearby, please enjoy this clip of Kansans going all in for Algeria:
Americans: always down to party
1. If the eagle videos are coming from Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, AL then I can promise you the eagle is a genuine, bona fide eagle and not a hawk. They have hawks in the raptor center, of course, but the ambassador bird for the university is a golden eagle.
2. In the USA, the vehicle paint for a school bus is officially called National School Bus Glossy Yellow and only school busses may legally be painted that color.

no-dopamine baddies approaching every single list of tasks like "which of these things will cause the most amount of personal suffering to me if left undone"
guess who just read yet another list of "tools to combat decision paralysis" that was mostly reward-based and got mad
hey this is really insightful. do you have any advice about identifying the linchpin task? i mean obviously "think about it really hard" might be all there is to it. basically i think this concept is good and would welcome more commentary from you, if you have more to add
the trouble is that Thinking (or at least applying the Talking Brain to the task) is counterproductive here, because that's the voice going "we need to clean the kitchen, why aren't we cleaning the kitchen??" and in these circumstances, giving that sector of the mind more oversight won't help.
it is necessary instead to sit down and kinda try and quiet that voice, and then start with considering my physical needs, kinda mentally run through the maslow's pyramid from bottom to top as if I'm dealing with a little kid throwing a tantrum. like, did we sleep last night? have we had lunch? am I lonely? should I call my aunt? do I want to finish the book I've been reading? do I want to boil chicken bones today? what's bothering me? I'll then try out a couple of things that seem likely and while they may not be The Thing it's useful to build momentum anyways.
but like, if I give it space, the answer will float upwards into view and it's usually something I've been putting off for a long-ass time.
and it'll sound So Stupid to the Talking Mind, who has important tasks that it's trying to get done, but we're going to tell that voice that the kitchen will wait while we take down the Christmas tree, fold the laundry that's been in the basket for a week, sketch the idea, call my aunt, whatever it is, and inevitably the Linchpin Task will take about half an hour, and once it's done I can feel the weight lifted off my shoulders.
Linchpin Tasks are sometimes that it's time to deal with The Emotions At The Bottom Of The Pile, which is when a pile of stuff builds up to cover whatever is at the bottom being emotionally fraught. (letters, the shirt I wore the day my grandpa died, y'know, The Emotions)
I've gotten better at identifying when those piles are starting to accrete and dealing with them before they get bad, but like, you gotta be able to identify the pile of stuff your eyeballs keep slipping off because it feels too emotionally difficult to deal with right now, and like, learning to ignore the part of the mind that wants to assign task priority levels is a counter-intuitive way to get things done.
I hope this makes sense. basically, when it comes to doing stuff, do the thing that's most emotionally fraught first, especially if you can come up with a bunch of excuses to not do it.
image description: tags reading #I tend to go for "which of these tasks is the secret task my subconscious has decided is the linchpin of my productivity" #sometimes that task is not something that's actually urgent in a normal sense but if I don't do it first I will put myself in waiting mode #and like I don't want to be waiting on myself to do a thing that I'm specifically not doing because it's not important
bobe said to me “my hips feel weird and hurt when im at work a long time” and i said here try these $4 neoprene hip stabilizers i got from china and she came back from work the next day, gave me a fat thumbs up, and said “game changer”. so idk what every doctor in the world is doing but apparently its not medicine
i have a socio-historical theory that the extreme prevalence of assistive garments prior to modernity that was basically wiped out in the american and european midcentury is related to the rise of neoliberal ideas of how your body should “just work” and if it doesnt its because you arent taking responsibility for your own functional physicality, ie, physical exercise and conditioning, orthorexia, “strengthening exercises “ etc. the number of times i have heard people tell me assistive garments and braces and crutches would create “dependency” ie addiction, which is a failure state. one of the best things i did for my relationship to doctors was to get a large dog who has to be walked twice a day. it has been the ONLY thing i have ever said to a doctor that convinced them i wasnt just lying to them for fun about my level of activity. and you know what else? the increased routine exercise DID NOT improve my health. not at all!
anyway yes physical therapy and conditioning is effective and generally good, what is also good is when i physically correct functional deficits in my body with tools and materials that prevent worsening injuries but whatever
Peter Steele, Playgirl August 1995
something weird is happening to my body composition. ive been taking digestive enzymes (basically every kind thats available OTC), choline, and being more on the ball about quercetin and also finally got some cromolyn nasal spray. SOMETHING amongst this spread, or the combination thereof, is making my lose body mass in a noticeable way but doesnt seem to be cutting fat or muscle. i dont think im starving, my calories are pretty stable. but my eyebags and my gut puffiness are both significantly reduced. i usually have BIG eyebags (not circles, bags) and i look about 2-3 months pregnant on an average day. the stomach mass is usually painful and spongy-feeling, its not normal abdominal fat. getting a good look today before a shower, the stomach swelling is down to near-normal thickness for someone with my general build, and i also think my upper arms (another painful swollen area most of the time, to the extent that tshirts in my size are usually too small in the arms) are smaller. the shrunken-up flesh is now feeling a lot more "doughy/velvety", as in the typical hEDS flesh diagnostic descriptor. im looking sort of ghoulish, but not in the "just lost weight quickly" way the glp-1 celebs are looking, more in a "looks ghoulish at baseline but the swelling was covering it up" sort of way, so i think im not missing my mark about what's changing.
i think if i were just losing mass from starving, the inflammatory signs would remain. like i historically have not lost my stomach swelling or eyebags when getting dangerously low-weight from caloric deficit, i would just stay puffy but lose muscle and fat mass. if i am starving it is in response to my metabolism functioning better than usual because ive been careful to keep my calories at the same level (not enough, but thats gastroparesis for you). some mental stuff is happening too that makes me think i am in a period of recovery for some reason. seems good, hope it continues.
1.The prolonged feeding of diets low in protein and choline produced severe nutritional edema in 53 of 62 rats. This condition was not obser
severe or long-term protein+choline deficiency is known to cause edema
update on this: i still have gastroparesis pretty bad. but MANY of the downstream effects of the gastroparesis have been significantly kiboshed. stomach bloating is barely noticeable even if my tummy is actively upset for some reason. i have been experimenting with flagrantly eating gluten, which is causing very few problems. my big constant inflammation signs: bloated face/eyebags, bloated bicep area/lipidema fat(?), and bloated gut, and constantly rough and peeling lips, are all way way way down. i am now experimenting with wearing basic lipstick, something i have never been able to do for longer than about an hour before it degloves all the skin on my lips. i assumed this was a contact allergy of some kind, but lip BALM and lip GLOSS do not trigger it, and every single brand and formulation of lipstick i have ever tried does. this was another thing i asked the stupid allergist about and she said "makeup has too many ingredients to even begin to figure out what the problm is" thanks! very fucking helpful!
the items that were added to my daily intake before the improvements were choline, cromolyn nasal spray, and increasing the regularity of a combo quercetin/hyaluronic acid/saw palmetto/salt/gelatin homemade capsule. so either the choline or the cromolyn or the synthesis of some combo is what's doing it. also i take a digestive enzyme combo pill every single time i eat any solid food

Hi! Do you happen to know if there are any other colour combinations of horses, aside from palomino and flaxen chestnut, that results in them having a blonde-ish mane and tail? Sorry if you're not the right person to ask, but I'm trying to make a centaur OC who is blonde and I want their hair and tail colour to match, and I just wanna see my options. Thanks!
What about silver dapple?
Perlino, cremello, silver cream champagne uhhhmm idk I think silver dapple would be the prettiest centaur
i’ve loved horses ever since i was little (grew up in tx, i think it just comes with the territory) but i’ve never really gotten to spend that much time around horses or around horse people, so i guess i never developed an eye for conformation. so basically to me some of the horses you post just look like horses and i can’t tell what’s wrong with them. are there any beginner friendly resources you could recommend just for someone who is interested in learning more about conformation and what a horse should look like?
I got some info here
Got a great ad encouraging people to dismantle surveillance equipment and then sell the guts at a pawn shop
