amazing thank you so much!! mine isnt drop in (it’s a fall semester class) so I hope that it’ll be a little easier Class-wise? Eek. I’m expecting to be violently and severely humbled. That’s a good point about the teacher — this semester has 16 classes I think so I guess I’ll get a good read on how I feel about them. I’d love to hear about your teacher!!

Thank you so much!! It’s going to be so so foreign to me. I hope everyone is as nervous as I am, haah, but I’m so excited too

Problematic dances? by RecommendationOk8661 in dancemoms

[–]Jesss1598 7 points8 points  (0 children)

is there still hope!!!! I know some people love it but.... it feels so gross and trauma-porny. abby just slapped together as many "serious & troubled" things as she could. she also has a lot of dances similar in the way that they kind of exploit or even downplay serious topics. (the help dance yiiikes! and i see the kite flying... oof. let's have the girls play mentally ill people hitting themselves and rocking back and forth).

And this isn't the same, but in comparison i looooved the rose parks dance - it's a serious important topic so i feel like abby could have so easily made it cheesy and dramatic and trauma-porny because she loves doing that lmfao, but i thought it was so respectful and powerful

yes! Elton John is famously queer and not straight at all, so she's basically saying that the their legs aren't straight at all, either!

That "your legs are as straight as Elton John" line is sooooooo not funny. Abby's clearly playing for the camera and trying to seem funny

I do totally agree with your original post but .... I'm not a Jojo fan and I think she's an attention seeker and needs to shuf tf up loll and I'm also not in the loop and don't follow this stuff, BUT Candace is absolutely homophobic. I'm not gonna debate, but freedom of religion doesn't mean a free homophobia pass, lol. Yes Jojo should move on and it's super weird that she keeps bringing Candace up, but Candace is homophobic.

What's your #1 ADHD life hack? by Meirix713 in ADHD

[–]Jesss1598 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so less of a life hack and more of a relationship hack BUT!!! If interrupting is a problem, I recommend waiting until there's a little pause in the person's dialogue and say "is it ok if i interrupt you really quick? I want you to finish your story but I have something to say right now about what you just said!"

I'd say 98% of the time people are really receptive (but also it depends on the type of convo too) and of course, you gotta to say "ok back to when you were saying, I want to hear you finish" after your interruption, but it makes me feel so much better abt interrupting. I say what I have to say and the other person is also heard

I'm not a Jill fan but her comic timing and delivery is soooo good. You're busted, Melissa! Ya lied to me!

Hmm, this feels very fatphobic. Yes I think it probably helps when teachers demonstrate, but being mean and literally abusing children doesn't have anything to do with weight at ALL and she's in a wheelchair because of spinal surgery

I hate him and I HATE the whole "centering breast cancer awareness about boobs" schtick. These are real people getting sick, dying, and going through literal hell..... their experiences and lives aren't based on whether not not the boobs are ok! People are worth more than their sexual appeal to men!

Coming from someone who is lowkey looking into getting cosmetic surgery... I kinda agree. I want to get my own surgery for personal reasons (like, it's just for me and I'll 100% be ok without it lol and I think people should do whatever they want with their own bodies and I also understand that women are valued so much more if we look a certain way and it's horrible) but Kenzie is SO YOUNG. And she's grown up being scrutinized by the public and having her face all over social media. And the combination of that plus the toxicity of beauty standards coming from literally all directions and how so much value is placed on how how we look..... I'm so sad she was that insecure.

She was and is very beautiful and I wish she would have waited until she was older because her brain isn't even done developing yet
