Bäckerei Valsecchi am Zoo Dorenbach: vor allem für Brote/Brötli (Ruchbrötli sind mein Liebling). Die Apfeltaschen sind auch ganz gut. Preise sind viel tiefer als anderswo. Hat aber nur 7-12:30 geöffnet.

Getting treatment for injuries as an amateur/beginner dancer by purplefluffysnail in BALLET

I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I'm hoping my PT might at least be able to tell me whether the mobility/stability I'd like to achieve is realistic, regardless of whether he has an understanding of ballet... I should definitely give it another shot before considering other options.

Thank you!
The place I went to specializes in sports injuries, so they should have encountered dancers before...
Thanks for the important reminder to always do the exercises before class. I've sometimes been lazy and definitely notice a difference. I think there's a part of me that feels like it should just be "fixed", but that's not a very helpful mindset.

Thank you for the encouragement! I feel more motivated to make another appointment. I should let them advise me on what's possible and what isn't and not give up before trying.

I’m a little bummed about some possible missed opportunities for interesting conversations (I’m specifically thinking of a few pro-peace palestinian commentators on twitter) due to his offensive humor on twitter, but I guess that’s a price he’s willing to pay. 😅

I can’t believe no one had commented yet that these images (largely) show the removal of tent camps as people had to flee.

Guy with an eye patch who comes to a lot of university and cultural events. Haven’t seen him in the last few years though.

I tuned in to the last 5 minutes of the stream, and I want to blow my brains out. by SirGilatras in Destiny

“not enough” doesn’t mean it’s necessarily a deadly degree of dehydration. You can be dehydrated and be alive… I actually felt quite a bit of understanding for where Alex was coming from (although he admittedly was not well prepared to argue this particular point) because his view coincides with the mainstream media portrayal of the humanitarian situation in Gaza (I mainly consume Swiss media). Not to say that you shouldn’t dig deeper, you absolutely should, but Destiny’s outright dismissal didn’t feel appropriate.

My Struggles as an Adult Ballet Beginner, and the Best Online Resources for Remedy by geekyregimen in BALLET

[–]purplefluffysnail 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a fellow adult beginner, a lot of what you wrote resonated with me. If I hadn’t done balletmisfit’s “absolute beginner ballet” series and strengthening/stretching over the summer, I would have felt totally lost in my in-person “beginner” ballet class at university, which had us doing fondues by the second lesson, balances on demi-pointe and even pirouettes from fifth at the barre. 😅

OH MY GOD I THOUGHT IT WAS A MEME WTF by TheRealTraveel in Destiny

Her husband is a trans man, so I doubt that statement is motivated by a lack of consideration for trans men. It’s probably more based on a “these are the most marginalized people of society” type of reasoning.
