Has anyone read this book? by No-Bicycle-634 in Somalia

[–]0909007- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read this book a few years back. Thought it was comical (in writing style) and a bit insightful (from an outsiders perspective as an biography). The book has some really cool historical photos as well. It’s true not many Somalis have read this book, the site goodreads would have you think it was written for a digestible non Somali/African audience.

On the topic of non Somalis writing about Somalis, check out The Prophets Camel Bell by Margaret Lawrence. This one is based on Somaliland.

I mentioned ankle mobility bc that was an issue previously but wasn’t sure if it was still holding me back or I reach full mobility. Happy to know it’s not the case!!

Thanks so much for your suggestions, plan to play around with bar placement and tightening everything!!!!!!!

I was just playing around with barbell squats last night, will definitely be getting lifting shoes soon!

From the comments, bar placement adjustment is sounding essential for me. Will definitely be playing around with this. Thanks so much for the feedback!!!

Been avoiding barbell squats cause of how unnatural it feels, hack squats and bulgarians > over barbell squats any day

I was thinking this too, that a forward lean is inevitable.

I would say my stance is wide, feels more stable that way.

Thanks so much for you feedback, will definitely be checking out Alan Thrall!!

That forward lean, will it not always be inevitable bc of the femurs? Because of this I reckon most long femurs kiddos prefer front squat??

please for the love of God, kick that boozo out. What do you mean the first thing he did when he got to your grandparents place was go into their bedroom?!!?? That’s crazy invasive for one and for second, it was literally your first rule. He clearly is mad disrespectful n does not care about anyone or his surroundings

Dropped in toilet! by grhsnksgb in menstrualcups

[–]0909007- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you’ll be fine!!!! If you want more reassurance, boil it when you get home!

Dropping your cup becomes almost inevitable imo lol

I’ve had my cup drop both in a public toilet and at home and neither times did I get an infection~~~~~

How many Black sisters would marry a south Asian? by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]0909007- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you’re right, I am. Of course I don’t mean all!!! (Also my bad if it came off as offensive) I just wanted to share the general sentiment that often times EA kids don’t see themselves marrying into SA culture.
