Getting Old

The Perimenopause Paradox: Simultaneously retaining water while bladder control weakens.

Is today’s en masse begging of Bluesky invites giving my fellow Internet Elders flashbacks to when LiveJournal was invite only?

WTF is that hot dog and orange juice puke background

Also I miss Sparknotes from before it got sold.

Thank y'all so much for making this internet elder snicker like a junior high kiddo. Kinda ironic that it's on the -sfw- post.

i wanted to do dance as a very young little boy - "Shirley Temple" was heard a lot when i first brought up and some older girls and ladies made female tutu and tights remarks. In the end i told Mum i wouldn't be able to sign up and it never happened.

I'm sorry you didn't get to experience that activity. Dance is for everybody - tap, ballet, ballroom, whatever. It is an innately human desire to move with a rhythm and we should not do anything to discourage it.

I don't know what your situation is now, but once your on your own you can still sign up for dancing lessons.

hi Im a (cis) boy. I'm fat and a girl at school told me i needed a bra. what should i do? I feel like shit.

I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you’re not a troll because there are zero posts on your page and assume it’s a burner account so I’ll go ahead and answer this as a post.

I am not a professional therapist of any kind and I don’t have personal experience with this particular body image issue but I did face some bullying in my youth for various reasons.

First of all, try not to feel like shit. Yes, it hurts to hear things like that but it’s nothing close to constructive criticism which it means that girl was just an ass. I’m not going to insult your intelligence by saying she’s probably facing her own bullying cause even if it’s true it doesn’t give her the right to attack others.

Know that you are valid. If you’re still in your teens then your body is still changing. No teenager should ever attack another for body issues, and even you still stay fat into adulthood that doesn’t make you less valid.

The next part I’m hesitant about but I’ll just say it, there are ways of dressing so that certain parts of the body aren’t as noticeable. I don’t want to encourage anybody to hide themselves but like it or not, a well put together outfit does affect how people perceive you. You can find shirts that are looser and don’t draw attention to your chest.

I’m going to also ask that any of my followers that have any better answers to please chime in. I’m not an advice blog, this is for shitposting about games and tv shows. But I didn’t want to not say anything to this person since I know this kind of thing can truly hurt.

Please try to feel better op.
