I'm going to go out in public and growl at strangers just to feel something. Grrrr. There's Normies out there. They'll never understand me. I'm FUCKED in the MIND!!! I'M FUCKED IN THE MIND!!!! Also happy pride month everybody :)
So I think I’m reaching a real turning point! I feel like the reason i suck so bad is because my FORM is really bad all the time. And I’m slowly figuring out how to correct that? I feel like I could not do that before because every thing felt unfamiliar, I can’t think about all the different parts of my body and how they should move and flex all at once. Nothing was intuitive and still isn’t. Also I just straight up didn’t have the strength to maintain good form before. Like someone can correct my form, and as soon as I go to do the exercise, I drop the form and lurch. I literally couldn’t hold it and still struggle. But it’s all coming together. And I speculate that this is what happens every time I have ever tried anything physical. I lack the strength to maintain posture and form and it negates my ability to perform well. But I can feel that changing. I’m getting stronger all the time.
Today someone in class was totally a doppleganger of someone I’ve met in classes before, so I smiled at her when our eyes met, even though she had said this was her first time. I assumed she meant for her friend that she brought. Turns out, nope! It was not her lol which was totally fine she did not find out. She asked me “this wasn’t your first time, was it?” Implying that she was watching me and thought in some way that I was particularly prepared or familiar with the activity. If she didn’t think that way, I think she would have phrased it differently. It feels strange, but I am trying to take it as evidence that I don’t suck as much as I think I do. I’m choosing to believe she saw me and thought “that person knows what they’re doing” to some extent.
I bitch a lot about being terrible at pole, and how it isn’t fun. But I know that it will be. And it’s really the only thing that has inspired me (so far) to like long term be stronger. I can easily see myself feeling comfortable in the studio, giving new people pointers, chatting with teachers and long time dancers, even doing solos in showcases. I’m not trying to be presumptuous, this is just the normal pathway for me. I have a big personality, I like to feel comfortable and take up space, and I like to feel involved and step into things when other people don’t.
Maybe I’ll invite my little pole group chat out to the anime rave I’m going to tonight. I’m sure it’s not their scene, but maybe someone will want to go anyways.
Of courrrseee as soon as I start bitching online about being bad at pole dancing and always being the worst in the room, I start going to classes where there’s actually several people at the same skill level as me! Finally!! It’s so reassuring to do stuff like half right and watch other people also do things half right and we’re all figuring it out together. And I’m not praying on their downfalls. I want us all to improve. But it decreases my blood pressure or see someone fumble with the same things I fumble with. It pays to go to different classes and meet different people. Although I will say…. I do not the fuck appreciate an over booked room… it was so overwhelming to be in a room of like 30 people and to not have enough poles. Like it just increases my stress naturally, and I don’t mind being in crowds. It’s just like. Oh shit we’re all doing this very fast paced unfamiliar warm up routine and there’s not a ton of room to move around 😬 AND MAYBE IM BEING ANNOYING ABOUT THIS BUT I just think that… we’re all here… paying a lot of money to use the studio…. We should be guaranteed a pole during class. I get that sharing poles does work functionally and encourages me to take breaks and not exhaust myself, which is good. And I want the class to be accessible to more people! But like… nobody likes to feel like they are not getting what they paid for. I’m torn between “overbooking a class is def greedy of the studio to do…” and “I mean I don’t want studio time to feel exclusionary, I like that more people have access to the class”. And I think both are valid things to feel.
But yes! I have left class not angry! I started angry haha and my instructor uhm was a little whack. The woman was wearing RINGS while gripping the pole, it was stressing me out 😬 but she’s one of the studio owners I think. So I guess she can do whatever she wants… idk but she had weird vibes and I did not like her, but I appreciated and respected her advice and guidance on certain things. Certainly helpful, and she did not have crazy expectations of those of us in level 1. Which was nice.
I even got to chat for a bit with another thicc thighed individual which was very nice, but we got cut off quickly, which is also okay. I… am going to see if I can maybe find a class at a different day of the week that is a little less crowded. I mean i won’t die or stop coming if all the night classes are like this. But I don’t love it. But I guess it is nice to not be sore and exhausted after class. Oh wait I forgot I did not get any meaningful sleep last night. I should go inside and eat dinner (pt 2) and shower.
TLDR class was good today and I am getting SO MUCH STRONGER YOURE ALL GOING TO SUCK MY DICK SOOON IM GUNNA BENCH PRESS BEAUTIFUL WOMEN TO ENTICE THEM TO DATE MEEEE JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE!!!
Since I’m here and blogging I might as well ramble some more I guess.
Maybe if I blog about my pole dancing experience then people who want to talk about it will find me T_T maybe
Ok so this entire post ended up being like really negative and complainy but oh well!! Thems the breaks kids!! My pole dancing experience has only been miserable so far, so I only have miserable things to say about it (aside from the people I’ve met) so when I have something good to say about it, you’ll be the first to know!
I’ve been going to pole dancing classes since December, so about 6/7 months now. I am…. Still so so bad at it. I’m probably not as bad as I think. But like. I’m not talking about how pretty I look. I’m specifically referencing how I am physically unable to do most tricks (which is important bc most of pole…is just tricks). I can’t lift myself off the ground with just my arms yet and I have no idea when I’ll be able to. Sometimes it feels like a pipe dream. But I keep trying and I am seeing improvement.
It just SUCKKKKSSS big time to not be able to life yourself off the ground by your arms… like you’d think lots of people can’t do that, right? And yeah, at the start of my beginner classes, lots of people couldn’t do it either. But uhm actually they all picked it up after a few weeks or months. And I hardly saw any progress for myself at all. Like I’m really not exaggerating when I say that to this day, regularly, I’ll go to classes and there will be newbies who are like “oh this is only my 4th or 5th class” and they’ll just pick up a trick as soon as it’s taught to them. And I’m not saying they’re AMAZING. I’m saying they get off the ground and can practice the tricks. I can’t stress enough. How much. I can’t practice the fucking tricks. If I cannot. Do the trick. It is so frustrating. And I can’t help but constantly notice how most people in my classes are much skinnier or have athletic builds. And I wouldn’t normally care at all. But it’s driving me crazy to be so completely incapable of -task at hand- when people who are trying something for the first time just pick it up instantly in front of my eyes all the time. And it’s genuinely every class. 🙃
BUT IM DETERMINED for various reasons not to give up, so I don’t! I’m giving it 100% and I come to class knowing that I’m going to struggle and be asked to do things beyond my capabilities, and that even if I’m completely certain that I can’t do the exercise, I will still *try* to do it as safely as I can, and then figure out some modified exercise I can do until I can baby step my way into the trick. The instructors are all very very nice and helpful, they all have different tips and insights about how to help me, literally no one is ever mean or discouraging to me, so that’s not a problem thankfully. They all tell me nice things and point out when they see me improve and it’s all very kind and good hearted. I only wish they would acknowledge… how frustrating it must be for me to always be the worst one in class… how tiring it is to still not be able to do the tricks…. But alas, it’s not the worst situation I could be in. Maybe I’ll just tell some of them how I feel. I just. Don’t always feel like explaining my complex feelings to them (and honestly I have made some attempts but most of them don’t have the time since they teach back to back classes).
ANYWAYS I have so many thoughts and feelings that I’m. Not going to share right now about it all 🙃. That’s not the point. It’s all just. Context. Idk I think I wanna talk more about the actual experience physically.
Something I like about this dance studio is the instructors usually point out what part of your body you should feel something in when doing a stretch or exercise. It’s really important for me to be told that cus idk. I guess I’m disconnected in some way to my body cus I always feel like I’m doing something wrong cus moving my body in unfamiliar ways ALWAYS feels wrong and I’ve even had people ask me where I’m feeling pain or discomfort and I’ll tell them and they’ll act baffled and tell me that’s not where I’m supposed to feel it. So I appreciate some direction while stretching so I can avoid hurting myself by bailing out of stretch if something feels wrong and later ask an instructor about it.
I struggle most with picking my feet up off the ground during spins, but I’m having a tiny amount of success lately. It’s the fear of falling. And that’s normal. But it’s just taking me a very long time to overcome that I fucking guess. During spins, you have the momentum to carry you, so you’re not holding your entire weight by just your arms. But I personally find it hard to drill the same spins over and over bc I get dizzy really quickly. Some days are worse than others. No one really seems to have good advice on this other than like, gimmicky stuff. I think I just have to take breaks and wait for my vision to clear after a few spins before I can keep going.
I’m the most determined to succeed at climbing the pole. To me, if I can do that, it will prove I have the strength to do the tricks safely. But climbing isn’t entirely arm strength, which is why I feel like it’s the most attainable task for me. You gotta sandwich the pole between your legs, from the knees down, pushing on the pole, while you pull up with your arms. It’s a weird feeling, since I have just. Never really climbed anything ever. It’s really hard to maintain good form. I feel like lately I’ve kinda had to “start over” since an instructor pointed out that I tend to climb with my legs nearly vertical, pressing most of the surface area of my leg against the pole, when actually you’re supposed to tilt your leg at more of an angle… it’s hard to explain, and visibly I think it’s hard to tell the difference, which is why I was doing it wrong for months. But now I feel like I have less surface area to work with and the muscle memory isn’t there anymore and I’m really struggling to see the same results for my effort that i was seeing just a few weeks ago. I’m not even sure… what the problem is with my previous technique, like what is the consequence of doing it the way I was finding success with… maybe I should ask an instructor about that. Pole is a very unregulated sport… so every studio teaches differently, and every studio teaches beginners different things. This is not helpful for obvious reasons… but sometimes it makes me question if I’m doing something “wrong” (as in, dangerously, as in I could potentially or will definitly hurt myself if i keep using what is considered “bad form”) or if I’m doing something differently than how I was taught to, but my method is perhaps equivalent in safety and execution. Cus sometimes that happens. I see it discussed in class often.
Uhm something I also really struggle with is like. Dude. How do you balance having enough grip strength to pull yourself up while not DEATH GRIPPING the pole, preventing you from spinning and actively hurting your wrist and forearm in the process of pressing it HARD into the pole? (We use static poles for beginners- a statement I don’t think I need to specify, but just in case someone wants to point out that some poles rotate in place. Hey haha I’m not allowed to use that feature yet.) some days, I can spin around and practice picking my feet up without too much trouble. Other days, I CANNOT grip the pole with any degree of success without using grip aid (tacky stuff that dries on your hands, improving grip) but the grip aid pretty much prevents me from being able to loosen my grip enough to spin. So like. I mean the grip aid is great with helping me climb. I saw so much improvement after I tried that. But then I gotta wipe it off to do spins. And like. How do… you grip enough to lift without death gripping…. Again, some days I don’t have to think about it, other days it’s my main struggle. It definitely depends on how sweaty I am. Which changes depending on the weather. I’m not inherently very sweaty. But ANY sweat will change your grip ability.
Handstands feel like a pipe dream, I absolutely do not even attempt to handstand to the wall. I am certain I will crash my head against the wall if I try, so I do not. I cannot cartwheel, so I wish people would stop assuming I can lol. This will be the very last obstacle I even attempt to overcome before test out (moving to level 2). Handstands to the pole, I feel that’s achievable over time for me. I think it’s just all unfamiliar and uncomfortable/painful distributions of my weight, and I struggle to open my hips up enough to pick my legs up from the ground. (This one is hard to explain so idk if I’m even gunna attempt. Basically you kneel on the ground with your feet at the base of a pole. You stack your wrists under your shoulders to evenly distribute the weight. You slide one leg up the pole to what seems like an arbitrary height, and you push on your hands while pressing your foot into the pole, to lift up your other leg straight into the air vertically. You then let your foot that’s touching the pole slide down to a height where your leg is parallel to the floor, so your body is making an H shape (including the pole). ) This shit sucks and I also can’t do it but I keep trying. I told my instructor the other day that I just can’t pick up my second leg. Like it hurts my toes to try and get into position and I just feel my body give out as soon as I shift my weight from my second leg to my hands. She said she wasn’t sure how to help in the moment, but that she would think on it and do some research and get back to me on what to do.
Kneepads!!! What the fuck yall!! I want knee pads!! So bad!! I literally!!! Researched the best brand to buy and got a pair for my birthday!! And they were LAUGHABLY SO SMALL SO MINUSCULE IN DIAMETER. it was the biggest size they had !! (A 2xl!) and my skinny friends looked at the kneepads and said “that’s diabolical. How is that a 2xl?” Like I GET IT GUYS I KNOW I KNOW IM THICC AS FUCK, PARTICULARLY MY LEGS. THATS WHY I REQUESTED THE BIGGEST SIZE THEY HAD. it was such a joke. I couldn’t even get them over my shins. My instructor somberly commented afterwards “ooh yeah, they do run a little small. People usually size up.” And I was like “ah well I wish any of the reviews I saw had mentioned that if it’s so well known 🙃 also I didn’t see any brand that carried a bigger size” so that’s VERY COOL NO KNEEPADS FOR ME. That’s a lie actually. I cut the backs of the Kneepads and added extra fabric so I would be able to at least try them on. And ima be so real. Even if I had done a good job at that task. I should not HAVE TO they should just COME IN BIGGER SIZES like I am not the only fat bitch to pole dance wtff 😭😭😭 and yeah they really didn’t work after doing that. I just found that they constantly got in the way of me doing things and they didn’t fit right bc I had to ALTER THEM. I literally… got the brand that everyone said to freaking get yall… for reference it was the brand Queens Wear. Bitches on Reddit all say “you can size down actually cus they’ll stretch” MF’ER HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET THEM ON YOU LITTLE BITCH?? (((((I don’t mean it to sound this way…. But every single time a bitch says “you can size down for this product” they are so so tiny as a human. Just so skinny. So that information is not as helpful as I want it to be. Like you would think that information would apply to all sizes. No. No it does not. It never will.))))) ((Just did some more googling to see if literally anyone mentioned the small sizing of this brand or if there are better places to buy plus size knee pads and like straight up every single Reddit comment is like “so here are a few websites where you can buy up to an XL but they don’t have grippy and you have to use Velcro. I know you’re asking specifically about non-Velcro and above a size XL but I hope this helps!” And I want to die. There is literally one website that actually offers a bigger size and they DONT HAVE GRIPPPYY WHICH IS WHAT I WANT but it’s FINE I don’t actually think knee pads would help me, I just, would like the feeling of protection when I’m scared of falling!!!! That’s all!!!))
Ok I’ve been like rotting in bed for hours and hours and I genuinely have to eat dinner and take a quick shower before I get ready for work tomorrow ((sobbing, as I remember the dreaded…. Work tomorrow™️)) and it’s already past midnight uhhhhhgggwg whatever I hope this helps or at least interests someone.
Ok cool I’ve learned 2 things in the past 15 minutes
1) there is functionally only 1 pole dancing blog to follow on tumblr so that’s fun
2) I see why… people are complaining about the tumblr ads. Wow. There just flat out isn’t a place on the internet that doesn’t trade user experience and app functionality for ad revenue. And I’m not against ads on tumblr, I know the site struggles to find ways to actually make money and self sustain, which is NEEDS to do. But Jesus Christ. Every app sucks so bad. Every app is soooo bad. It’s really awesome.
endlessly frustrating that whenever anyone is like 'i wish i could find a type of exercise i enjoy' swarms of people are always like 'clearly you have not tried the type of exercise *I* enjoy!' I'm there like no I have. it sucked.
my high school offered a pretty diverse range of Sports in PE so i have tried out a bunch of them. i did not enjoy them and was bad at literally all of them.
i also took some martial arts in school and hated it. i took it up only bcos my best friend was doing it and at all times was like 'i wish i was spending my lunchbreak doing Anything Else'. i was also bad at it.
before anyone is like 'well you don't have to be good at an activity to enjoy it-' yes you do. sorry. when it comes to Sports if you are bad enough at it, you simply do not get to access the fun part. for example: me and my best friend used to 'play tennis' together in PE lessons but we were both extremely bad at tennis so we would just take it in turns to serve the ball at each other over and over bcos neither of us could hit it back. this was not fun.
i did a lot of musical theatre extra curriculars including dance as a teen and this was probably the one i enjoyed the most but once you hit a certain age there is an Expectation that you will want to get good at it. i was not a good dancer and struggled a lot with memorising the routines. this was not fun. it is not fun doing an activity you are bad at while surrounded by people who are better at it than you.
i have had very mixed experiences with swimming bcos obviously as a child it was fun to like. play in a pool but school swimming lessons were deeply unpleasant. it is the one i would most like to take it up again but 1) there is just a tremendous amount of faff involved 2) it requires you to be in a state of Undress around a bunch of strangers and i don't want to do that.
essentially i think a major disconnect happening here is that not everyone experiences the Exercise Dopamine to the same extent? i don't feel good after exerting myself. i am just like well that sucked the whole time and i felt bad afterwards.
A small personal ramble bc I want to say these words but I don’t want anyone to respond to them.
Around this time of year, one of my very dearest friends either gets very sick or is in an active abusive relationship that is isolating her from her friends. It can span for months at a time, and usually does. She’s not dating anyone now, and lives alone, so I know she must be sick, or her depression is extremely bad again, but I havent been able to talk to her since my birthday party in early April, and it’s really starting to get to me 😭 I kindof have an uncomfortable saying in my personal relationships that I don’t really “miss” people, and it’s something I go back and forth on a lot, I’m not really sure how I feel. I just know for a long time I used to tell people I missed them bc it felt like the thing I was obligated to say in return when they said they missed me. So I’ve made an effort to stop saying it out of obligation and give myself the opportunity to see when I genuinely feel inclined to say it. And sometimes I do say it and I think I mean it. I do yearn for the company of some people when I am reminded of them, but I would only put a sad connotation to the feeling when I know I don’t have access to that person at that time. That’s when I would say I miss someone. And this year, so many things are happening in my life, I’m making big changes and having huge emotional breakthroughs and this friend that I’m missing has always been my go to when I wanna talk about these things. Even when I don’t want to talk about them, I want to share them with her anyways to keep her updated and hear her advice or to have her cheer me on. I’ve just been really missing it lately. I send her messages once in a while letting her know I miss her but I understand that it’s the time of year when she gets sick, but I’m trying not to leave her too much to read. I can only do that so many times before I feel a little intrusive. And It’s not like she’s totally MIA like she still is quietly and sparingly active on social media. So I know she’s alive. And I respect that responding to messages requires a completely different energy than doom scrolling and occasionally sharing things. So I’m not like, mad that she isn’t responding to me. I just. Sigh. I miss her and it’s always just really tough this time of year to be without her. And I never know how long it will last.
I think the hardest part is that there’s been many times throughout her life where she didn’t know if she was going to make it another day, for a lot of different reasons. I’ve endured many of those times, both along side her and by myself. I’ve had periods of life where I prepared myself to loose her forever. Which is like, it’s own horrible thing that I’m not here to talk about. It’s just like. Sometimes when there’s this long stretch where I can’t talk to her, it feels a little like she’s gone. And it’s a strange feeling, since I havent been scared of loosing her for a few years. Idk. I don’t really go through this with anyone else. It’s been extra hard bc I’ve had a lot of big emotions and stuff going on the past few weeks that I wish I could talk to her about. I think times like this are extra hard for me when I can’t reach her. It’s not that I don’t have anyone else to talk to. But it’s stupid to pretend that talking to anyone else replaces talking to her specifically. I like to think I do an OK job at appreciating her on the regular, but once you don’t have access to someone, I think it always feels like you didn’t appreciate them enough when you did have access to them. Sigh. I just. I really hope she gets well soon. Mostly for her own sake, obviously. But also selfishly bc I miss that hoe T_T I wish I could do something for her, but I don’t know what’s going on, so I don’t know what or if she needs anything other than rest. The whole situation is just like. Really stinky.
baseball interviewers will ask "how do you throw the ball so good" and Mariners players will casually drop that they have a headmate who plays the game for them

Sometimes I think about how and why some people had such a *bad* reaction to the end of Steven Universe, specifically in regards to the Diamonds living.
Even though they no longer are causing harm to others and are able to actually undo some of their previous harm by living, some folks reacted as though this ending was somehow morally suspect. Morally bankrupt, even.
And I think it might be because so many of us were raised on a very specific kind of kids media trope:
They all fall to their deaths.
Disney loves chucking their bad guys off cliffs. And it makes sense- in a moral framework where villains *must* be punished (regardless of whether their death will actually prevent further harm or not), but killing of any kind is morally bad for the hero, the narrative must find a way to kill the villain without the protagonists doing a murder.
It's a moral assumption that a person can *deserve* to die, that it is cosmically just for them to die, that them dying is evidence that the story itself is morally good and correct. Scar *deserves* to die, but it would be bad for Simba to kill him. So....cliff.
Steven Universe, whatever else it's faults, took at step back and said "but if killing people is bad, then people dying is bad", and instead of dropping White Diamond off a cliff, asked "what would actual *restorative*, not punitive, justice look like? What would actual reparations mean here? If the goal is to heal, not just to punish, how do we handle those who have done harm?" And then did that.
Which I think is interesting, and that there was pushback against it is interesting.
It also reminds me of the folks who get very weird about Aang not killing Ozai at the end of Avatar. And like, Ozai still gets chucked in prison, so it doesn't even push back on our cultural ideas of punitive justice *that much.* and still, I've seen people get real mad that the child monk who is the last survivor of a genocide that wiped out his entire pacifist culture didn't do a murder.
There are other ways to remove a person's ability to wield political and social power to commit genocide than dropping them off the side of a burning building that are all just as effective.
I'd also like to point out that the idea that you can prevent a wholesale genocide by like, killing the RIGHT individual, is a rather...simplistic understanding of what causes genocide.
Frollo, to use him as the example, is a priest (in the book), and a judge (in the Disney movie.) He's not just a bad guy. He's an extention of the Catholic Church/The State (depending on which version you want to lean on here.) His power to do harm comes from his position within those institutions and the power of those institutions themselves. The persecution of the Roma people within France isn't because there was a bad guy, but because of those systems of power being used to kill the people that the church and the government wanted dead. Frollo getting dropped off a building wouldn't stop the persecution of the Roma in any world that isn't, maybe, a Disney film.
In the real world, it's very easy to hold up Hitler as the boogeyman. But if Hitler had died, but the war machine of Third Reich Germany hadn't lost the Battle of Berlin/the War as a whole, the Holocaust wouldn't have magically stopped just because 1 guy died.
Look. I'm not saying that there's never been a situation in the world where killing 1 guy wasn't the objectively best option in a high stakes, immediately dangerous situation. The world is full of Trolley problems and self defense situations and nuance and context.
But this post is about Restorative vs Punitive Justice *systems*, and about how many people, in general, start and end their analysis of Justice with "did the bad guy get killed?"
I would even argue that this mentality, where as long as you are sure in your heart that it will SAVE LIVES, killing people is just and good and shouldn't be questioned because some people are just bad- that mentality? Forms the core of Police killings in our culture. Justifies shooting first and asking questions never. Because once you decide that someone has done harm, they need to die for there to be Justice?
I dunno. I just think maybe as a society, we should be open to...other ideas on the matter.
1. The specificity of it being a death by falling isn't meant to be super literal. My point is more broadly about Disney villains getting deaths that leave the main hero essentially blameless for their deaths, while still feeling like justice was done because the bad guy dies.
Many Disney villain deaths ARE specifically by falling ( Gaston and Frollo are the most obvious examples, but theres more- Snow Whites Queen, Ratigan from the Great Mouse Detective, etc), or falling with a twist (Gothel from Tangled and Clayton from Tarzan come to mind). But sometimes it's a little more abstract- still a death that leaves the hero blameless, but not specifically a fall (Hades, Dr. Falcifer) Technically, it's not falling that kills them, but it fulfills the same trope.
2.
Scar absolutely fits category 2. He very dramatically falls off a cliff, in a parallel to Mufasa, and THEN gets eaten by hyenas. The fall is absolutely part of it.
The fact that *so many people* felt like this comment was the most interesting or relevant comment they could add to this discussion is....a little tiring.
Man. The "unalive" type of self-censorship may mostly be just perpetuating folklore? People are talking inanely just based on vibes on the great mighty algorithm?? Mannnn
