for those curious, this is joanne, a 15-year-old sumatran tiger currently living at phoenix zoo. it's very sweet to see her playing and tumbling around like this at her age -- she's got some people taking care of her if she still has this energy at that age.

i did see some users in the notes who were concerned about her looking 'scrawny', or wondering if she's maybe a juvenile -- far from it! at 15, joanne is very much considered a geriatric tiger; she's a grandma. she is, however, a sumatran tiger (panthera tigris sumatrae) -- sumatrans are the smallest extant subspecies of tiger, built more for the sweltering jungles of sumatra than the blistering cold of the amur river or the dense forests and mangrove swamps of south asia.

when you're used to seeing amur or amur-bengal hybrid ('generic') tigers on television or online, most of which are often overfed and overweight, a sumatran is going to look a bit weird, but joanne looks to be in wonderful shape -- look at those muscles flex and that coat shimmer when she moves! that's a healthy old lady for sure. props to joanne's keepers for taking such good care of her.

How can I do this as a MAN?

Honestly, platform heels are absolutely not my favourite thing to wear for pole, but they are deeply connected to the history and modern context of pole. And if by wearing them I can show some people that it’s OK to not fit the “standard” template of masculinity or femininity, then that’s worth a bit of extra effort!

im obsessed with how stupid this statement is like yes obviously average person is not going to be picasso or rachmaninoff or whatever but the manufacturing of these artificial categories of "Artist" and "Non-artist" based on the nebulous concept of Natural Born Talent is in all honesty so completely anti-art i really dont even know where to begin. Hello?

[lorillee]

like theres this huge obsession a bunch of online artists have with making themselves feel like theyre better than the rest of the population because they ~Create~ and like i understand where its coming from theres definitely a clear growing lack of support and appreciation for the arts plus growing job insecurity with the proliferation of genai but on the other hand its like dont you see how inherently self defeating this is. youre trying to create this barrier between you (the Artist) and the rest of the world (untalented peons or whatever idk) and trying to maintain it by telling everybody that no matter how much time and effort they put in if theyre not Born with Talent there is no meaning or value to anything they create because theyre not an Artist like You <- do you think that this is helpful (or really even correct) in any capacity? do you think youre going to help people grow an appreciation for the arts by creating an exclusive club just for you and your friends and telling everyone else to hit the road? like what is this supposed to accomplish???? who gives a shit about talent im sorry like 90% of any art anybody creates is going to be mediocre garbage and that same statistic goes for what you and i create too its not a crime to make mediocre art nor does it make you less of an artist to be honest i think everybody should be making more mediocre ass art its good for you just to make anything at all

The thing they don't tell you about dealing with ADHD is that sometimes when you really, really don't want to do something you absolutely need to do your brain will suddenly lift the barriers stopping you from cleaning or doing other chores you've been struggling to finish, and so you have to run around stopping yourself from doing all the dishes or laundry or deep cleaning the bathroom despite needing to because you do not have time for that right now, you absolutely have to do this other task, and the whole time it feels awful because you've needed to do all the rest of that too for a while and you couldn't, but you can now—only no, you can't—and yeah you can come back to all that after you do your thing you don't wanna do, but then you'll be back in "I can't do this" mode because you don't have another task to avoid, so you just have to accept it and it sucks.

Brought to you by me not wanting to make phone calls so badly I had to actively stop myself from doing like seven other chores, which felt like being hunted for sport.
