i dont understand why ppl have such a major judgement thing for feet fetishists. im not into feet but yall are cowards. there are men out there who would cry for the privilege of giving you a massage and you’re gonna deny yourself that just bc he’s motivated? move the fuck over i’m disabled and if a guy wants to suck on my toes until his tongue gave me french tips i will simply permit him and he’s gonna thank me for it. it is 1am
i don’t remember making this post but i have to admit it’s really fucking weird and gross for so many of you to see my go “wow its fucked up and weird that so many of you allegedly pro-kink people still act like foot fetishists are gross and disgusting creeps, couldn’t be me” and you feel overwhelmed with the need to explain and justify why you think men with foot fetishes are gross and creepy and that it’s okay when you do it
hey with all due respect (minimal) (there but a mere formality) (the call of the silent cliffs below is loud) but its fucked up and weird that so many of you allegedly pro-kink people still act like foot fetishes are gross and disgusting but then go “but i love the sinner hate the sin” type shit. no one here asked nor cared that you apparently find foot stuff gross and disgusting. your opinion on that front is not only irrelevant but an active insult when the topic is “wow people sure do treat these people as gross and disgusting for no good reason”. it’s tiresome. i’m tired.
This style of bridge dates from the days when barges were towed by horses. When the towpath switched to the opposite side of the canal, the horse would, obviously, clippy-clop over a bridge and happily plod off again. Now, the automatic way to do this would be like this:
However, note that rope (black line) between the horse (brown blob) and the barge (red blob). If you cross the bridge the automatic way, it all goes a bit….
However, if you cross the bridge like THIS
it all works out fine!
Now, sure, you could trust people to remember how to cross a bridge. But there are a lot of numpties out there, and people were working extremely long days and were extremely tired. Also, the canals were BUSY. One boat getting snarled up was the equivalent of the Ever Given.
So, instead, the canal companies built Numpty-Proof Bridges.
They also had the benefit that the horse could be left to plod along on its own, rather than needing human guidance. (I have no idea how this worked. My horse would have her nose buried in the grass and wouldn’t go anywhere, if I left her to it.)
For years I would look at posts and questionnaires about neurodivergence that takes about being so focused on something that you forgot to eat and be like, “Couldn’t be me. Being hungry is so uncomfortable! Your stomach is growling and cramping? How do you ignore that?”
Then someone informed me that neurotypical people have a whole bunch of “hungry” sensations before they get to that point…..
They what
Yeah, I don’t get it either, but apparently this is a Whole Thing…. Like they somehow detect blood sugar dropping and go, “Ooh, time for lil snack!”
See also: there is a feeling of “oh, I need to pee” that happens before “fidgeting around in my seat to finish this thing before running to the bathroom”
I read this and was like, “this can’t be real” and then I looked for sources and like–
“This can be very harmful for neurodivergent people, as many neurodivergent people struggle to feel internal cues and bodily sensations, including hunger and fullness. An emphasis on “only eating when hungry” can result in neurodivergent people delaying eating until they are so hungry that they are shaky, highly irritable, or even on the verge of passing out. A focus on “stopping when full” may cause neurodivergent people to overthink every bite they take and scrutinize whether they are truly hungry or truly full.
To modify Intuitive Eating for neurodivergent people, it may be important to focus on eating enough and eating consistently throughout the day, rather than eating according to one’s hunger and fullness cues. Neurodivergent people may need more of a structured meal and snack schedule than neurotypical folks in recovery, as well as some guidelines around a minimum amount of food. This does not make their eating less intuitive or their recovery less real - it is an important way of honouring their body’s needs and unique ways of functioning.”
WHAT??????
what the fuck
… stomach cramping isn’t the first sign of hunger? Is this why so many people eat more than one meal per day?
my mom loves to lie and like she always swears she was NEVER homophobic or anything to me as a child “i even have a gay work friend” but a really funny memory resurfaced recently where i asked if i could use birthday money i had to buy a rainbow flag when i was like ??? 7?? because i LOVED rainbows. and she said no that means something Evil and god will hate you . so what did i do. but ask my grandmom for a rainbow sweater for christmas and proceed to only wear that sweater for three years when it got cold because i didnt like the idea that god hated colors and i wanted to challenge him
normal 7 year old with religious trauma: oh no god can hear my thoughts and punish me
me: either you are wrong about god or god is wrong and i will fight him and i will be the one to find out
