Things about boobs that everyone should know

Because I just keep finding out people don't know these things!

Most boobs "sag."

Actually, on that note: very very few people have the stereotypically perfect breasts that are round and perky and don't touch your ribcage/belly. Here is an entire gallery of non-sexualized, perfectly normal breasts. Here is another one, but in one image. There's an incredible range of size and shape!

Also related: very few people fit those molded foam-cup bras. Because very few people have a boob that shape. "Then why are those kinds of bras everywhere??" Because they're cheap to make and they hide your nipples.

Your "armpit fat" is probably not armpit fat. It is probably your tail of spence, and you have lymph nodes there. Some people have a bigger or smaller tail of spence, and it has very little to do with how fat you are or how big your boobs are. (Some bras can press on it or pinch it uncomfortably, like balconettes.)

When you lie on your back, your boobs will go into your armpits. That is true of EVERYONE WITH BOOBS, with the exception of some implants. Boobs are squishy! This also means that like, lying on your side will cause them to flop over. If that's uncomfortable when you're trying to sleep, there is such a thing as "sleep bras."

Lots of people's boobs get bigger and/or painful before their period starts. Some people gain an entire cup size every month.

Whether or not you wear bras has no effect on "sagging." The one "study" on this that was written about everywhere extremely badly done. The one exception: If you do the kind of exercise that has you jumping around/jogging a lot, and you don't wear a supportive-enough bra, it's possible you can injure the cooper's ligaments. But also: that would hurt, a lot.

Bras also have no effect on whether you get breast cancer.

Everyone has one boob that's bigger than the other. It's just a matter of degree.

The size of your boobs has nothing to do with whether or not you've had sex???? I'm stunned that there are people that believe this, but I've heard multiple people say they had relatives who absolutely believed this--refused to buy teenagers the correct size bra because "only sluts wear D-cups," or insisted a thirteen-year-old was "fast" because of breast growth during puberty...good lord.

It's possible for AMAB people to breast-feed--they have the same mammary glands AFAB people do! Some hormonal issues can cause people (both AFAB and AMAB) who haven't given birth to lactate, but also there's a few cases where transgender women have been given the same hormones that AFAB people's bodies make during pregnancy/lactation, and voila! Breast milk!

(I very intentionally didn't go into bra sizing with this post, but yes, if you hate your bras, you are probably wearing the wrong size and/or style for you. That's a much more finicky topic though, so I'm just going to point out that the letter doesn't mean anything about boob size by itself, D isn't big, and Victoria's Secret's "fittings" are garbage. For more info, go to the subreddit for r/abrathatfits, or try their size calculator.)

listen even if cinta's death wasn't tropey and bad for queer rep it would still be the most BORING story!!!!! people will not stop yapping like "can we just care that a story is good and not about the politics/representation?" like okay sure. how is it a satisfying story or a good show with the way she was killed? how did sidelining her for the whole season only to bring her back to die make for a good story? what did that death add to the show that we didn't already know? yeah, people die in unceremonious ways. we were already shown that with the whole aldhani crew, with maarva, with brasso. yeah, luthen's disregard for people is a danger to the ones who fight for him. cassian's whole thing in that arc is about that. yeah, people fucking die in a revolution. the WHOLE FUCKING SHOW IS ABOUT THAT

but guess what? death is not the only way to show that there are stakes in a story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! vel and cinta in season one were honestly a GREAT example of this!! i thought all the last half of the season that they were gonna die, but i was pleasantly surprised that the story was actually about their LIVES and the strain the rebellion put on them. now, it might have been repetitive to keep coming back to that with them, but i THOUGHT gilroy and co were good enough writers that they could figure out how to keep that from happening. but no, instead they took the easy route and just. killed her. for the sake of another, whiter character's arc WHICH THEN WENT ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE

so yeah man. i would have LOVED for there to be a good story here!!! but there fucking wasn't!!!! not even CLOSE

Listen- I don't care that the early story tells you that Tsubasa 'doesn't want to see herself as a charity case' and that's why she dismisses this situation, in this case Takumi's right and he should say it. Her mother totally screwed the pooch here and didn't even think to give her daughter closure on this let alone get her to therapy or something? There's no way that running her daughter into the ground to the point of longstanding trauma was remotely necessary to have her find her true calling. The fact that Tsubasa has been forced to internalise this is straight up disturbing. The special interest that gave her peace is needlessly fucking tainted by the proverbial 'ooze' of her anxiety disorder because it has twisted that love against her.

Like what the hell is good about this. Spending so much time avoiding something related to your interest because of a bone-deep terror you're going to fail that lives in your gut forever. And it's something you LOVE, and WANT to do- and are GOOD at.

genuine question. do you some of you even actually LIKE football or do you only give a shit about joe's personal life because you're attracted to him and want to be with him? tumblr used to be SO damn peaceful from like 2022 to mid-2024. and it has been nothing but HELL since mid-2024. y'all are running off the people like me who actually give a shit about football and joe's career because of how insane and deluded you all have become. luckily, you won't ever run me off because i block anyone i can so i don't have to see that shit, but there have been a lot of people on here i was mutuals with that have never come back and it's extremely disappointing. literally, what the fuck happened and why do you give a shit so much about someone's personal life that does not concern you one bit?
