Elements of a great bra: I'm a 38I and so this is very relevant to my big-boobed interest.
Milo V's youtube channel has episodes of an old show called Opposite Sex, which also features baaaaaby!Chris Evans. Some of the gender politics are appalling, and there's an actual VERY SPECIAL GAY EPISODE in there, but Chris takes his shirt off a lot and it's pretty. Also, there's Allison Mack, who I like lots.And sometimes she plays badminton with no bra on.
On Interpersonal Badness: "If somebody is investing time, resources, and energy into convincing you of your own worthlessness, that same somebody has revealed to you that they have a lot to lose if you don’t believe them. They’re protecting their own loss of power. Which means they perceive you as somebody who can take that power away. If somebody is putting in the work to knock you down, it’s because they’ve got something to fear about you if you’re standing up."
The Inner Critic: "There’s another assumption in writings about the importance of “turning off” the inner critic, which is that all children have a magical reserve of resilience and that is why they are so creative. These children simply don’t care what anyone else thinks, and the Creative Adult must recapture that sense of adventure by silencing the inner critic! It sounds so easy!" This is an interesting point. I noticed in Julia Cameron's work a lot of fatphobia and ablism but this angle hadn't occurred to me.
I'm still reading, so there may be a second edition of linkspam later. But I need lunch.
