Yeah, dressage is hard. I grew up riding horses, which can be tricky on its own when they’re *not* ginormous neurotic performance fraidy cats, and then you have to MEMORIZE a pattern and take them through it? Hats off to y’all.

This video is exactly what tricks dudes into saying, “You look so much prettier without make-up.” These two impossibly pretty women obviously spent 90min+ in hair&make-up to look like they intend to spend all day in bed eating delivery brunch and watching KUWTK.

I want to say China also banned Ghostbusters because they have some rule against media that portrays occult subjects(?) which is a HUGE money loss.

Yuuuup. Same song they used in the Coen Bro’s “True Grit.”

If it’s a Jeff Nichols picture, you can almost guarantee Michael Shannon is in it.

Daughter of a veterinarian here– chocolate isn’t NEAR as toxic to dogs as people think it is. My sister’s rottweiler scarfed down a 9x13 pan of m&m brownies while we were out one evening, and she was fine (maybe an upset stomach, my dad told us to leave her outside overnight, so she didn’t go in the house) In 30 years…

I had a friend in a kinesiology program, and one of her profs said if you started a man and a woman walking in a straight line, the man would collapse well ahead of the woman for pretty much all of the reasons you listed.

Yeah, I mean I could NEVER do any of this stuff these women do, but it seems so incongruous to have them throw in some shoulder shakes or hand gestures into between launching themselves at the sky. I LOVED that UCLA gymnast’s floor routine, because she could actually dance. Her routine flowed.

Nope! I’ve only been skating for about a month. Ft. L is pretty far from here, but I imagine some of the team went. Honestly, I was born in FL, but everything below Orlando is kind of a blob to me.

Thanks! We seem to have a pretty freshmeat training program. It also helps that everyone is SUPER encouraging and patient. #feministfeels

I’M GOING TO BE IN YOUR BACKYARD NEXT WEEK!! I’m seeing a friend play Ottawa Explosion, and traveling around for two weeks. Ahaha this is hilarious. I was actually looking for rinks to practice, because the idea of being so new, and then being off-skates for two weeks while everyone else is practicing was horrifying…

At the risk of doxxing myself, NW FL. I’m still a freshmeat (can’t transition for shit, it’s cool), but it’s been rad as hell. Combines my loves of feminism and aggro sports.

I don’t drink, because addiction runs in my family, so growing up my extended family was basically one continuous DARE class. I’m not the most outgoing person, and I don’t like being around drunk people, which means I opt out of a LOT of social activities.

So many events in your 20s and 30s center around alcohol. Hell,…

I don’t have the stats, but I remember reading that it actually raised a considerable about of money for ALS research. (talking seven figs+)

Some friends & I are doing Airbnb for a music festival. It’s WAY cheaper to find a house downtown that sleeps seven people than it is to book a couple hotel rooms. Sometimes they’re a lot more conveniently located, too. And there’s a full kitchen, if you’re into that.

My mom has a beach house, and because you’re not legally allowed to refuse to rent to someone, whenever a college-age person would call around spring break season, she would just quote them four times what she normally charged.

Anyone considering an IUD needs to get a 3D UTERINE ULTRASOUND. They did a 2D ultrasound before they inserted mine, but they didn’t do a 3D scan until my two-week check-up, and turns out I have a fairly rare uterine malformation. This means an IUD offers me no protection, and they need to take it out. The doctor also…

THIS. I have never been what anyone would call well-dressed, but I either wear nice jeans & a nice top, or a dress, because skirts that squeeze your belly all day are for the birds (and who has time to match TWO THINGS). I buy my winter tights a size too big, and throw an over-sized sweater over a dress. It’s…

This is kind of how I feel. Granted, I don’t like the original Ghostbusters, but I was NOT impressed by the first trailer for this movie, and the second one was just funny enough to move me out of “feeling obligated to see this because feminism” into “yeah, OK, I’ll see it.”

I (unfortunately) found this thread before I had mine inserted, and I’d like to throw out my story about how mine wasn’t NEARLY as painful as all of these stories make the procedure sound.
