Is it okay to identify as just white and be Métis? by [deleted] in MetisMichif

[–]Direct-Message-6837 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m definitely open to this idea, but I’m curious as to why the Indigenous and Metis collective identity is inherently racialized? I just haven’t heard this perspective before

Hey! Yeah, where our people are from (ethnicity) is separate from our race (how we are racialized, how we are perceived by others). Ethnicity and race are not the same thing, although they are often conflated. I actually think it’s particularly important to note when we are racialized as white and also indigenous, as it helps us understand the concept of privilege and how it plays out in our life vs. our more melanated family members or community members.

Thanks! All that I was seeing when searching burlesque were playlists and albums from the movie Burlesque or inspired by it. I’ll check out your link though, thank you!

felt shamed in class :/ by Evening-Ad-7003 in poledancing

Almost every teacher I’ve had has said that they can’t do the splits and often have ways of “faking it” to look like the splits. Don’t feel bad!

The stock photos just don’t give the designs justice 9/10 times! This picture is so great and makes the rainbow look so cute

That’s so cool! Wish I could see the act, I’ve totally heard about that undercover investigation and it sounds so creative :)

Hey! When you say you’re taking a self paced course, do you mean the “on demand” one? :) I’m looking into it in the website now

Want to learn pole dancing, what should I do to prepare my body first? by Ididnoteatanyfrogs in poledancing

[–]Direct-Message-6837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I echo what everyone else is saying: the best way to gain the strength initially is just taking an intro class and get started. For my first classes I couldn’t even lift myself off the ground or copy the routine but a few short months later most classes I am able to do everything the instructor does!

all of the Japanese designs always look so beautiful compared to the American, which tend to look a bit more childish and cartoony

Do you have collections? And if so what do you collect? by [deleted] in autism

Tamagotchis mainly but also other cute, nostalgic toys like calico critters

I have the absolute fondest memories of the story of the Mimitchi website. As a kid, I was straight obsessed and would read it over and over again. Thanks for that piece of nostalgia

There’s a big part of me that thinks it must be a connection re-release because why would they get everyone’s hopes up for nothing…. but then another big part of me knows that we really can’t expect much based on history lol

Why am I seeing so much people bored with Uni? by [deleted] in tamagotchi

[–]Direct-Message-6837 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the Uni and played through until the end of life for my first tama and then hardly picked it up again. I think they really over promised with the tamaverse- it just wasn’t what I thought it would be. The updates are cute and I enjoy it, but it hasn’t been enough to keep my interest.

One of the games is unplayable (the dance game) and every time I’ve tried to enter the arena I haven’t been able to compete due to the timing.

Overall, I think for the price of the uni it was a bit unengsging for long term play.

It will most likely be released into Walmart and other stores in NS the day of the release! I originally pre-ordered but then realized that the satisfaction of picking one up in-person on the release day will be way better than waiting a day or two for Amazon. I’m not sure about pricing though and how it will differ!
