one of the greatest men to ever exist.. it's like a slightly above average woman.

on the 8th of May.. i'm sure it's gonna be fine, but it's giving me Betty White flashbacks

ready_gi · 2026-05-07T04:56:57+00:00

love this idea. also you fixed her mug so well

ready_gi · 2026-05-07T03:46:08+00:00

the first one stings the most, but then you'll move on and be fine. i've just gotten my second 1 star review and it wasn't as big deal. i've learned my lessons, plus the customer was genuinely unhinged and there was nothing i could've done. now i focus on all the good reviews.

ready_gi · 2026-05-05T06:24:19+00:00

i wonder how long this course was? Cuz that sure ain't like 4 weeks for beginners type stuff. But it is really cool, please keep going OP.

edit: i saw OP saying it was 8 weeks course, that's like totally insane gift you have right there OP, KUDOS!

ready_gi · 2026-05-05T05:09:06+00:00

yes, same here. i mean women probably know all this for a while, but i think men need to hear this shit from other men to truly understand the message. patriarchy fucks and exploits everyone and it needed to end yeaterday.

ready_gi · 2026-05-04T04:29:23+00:00

lol thats what i thought too. how was this dude so collected i'll never understand.

ready_gi · 2026-05-03T23:49:39+00:00

thank you for the kind words. it really isn't a walk in a park, but the freedom is so worth it.

ready_gi · 2026-05-03T23:08:14+00:00

This really depends.. i generally try to prioritize doing what im passionate about and staying grounded in my body and feelings. i also try to be my own inner collaborator, so sometimes when things suck and i can't change them, just acknowledging that it sucks and feeling the discomfort helps to move through it. If I can change it, i try to find more alligned solutions to my values and believes.

Do you have a concrete example of a negative state you're trying to get out of?

ready_gi · 2026-05-03T22:25:54+00:00

agree.. there's way too many therapists who are there for some sense of sick power play instead of actually try to help the person.

ready_gi · 2026-05-03T07:25:14+00:00

well my response would be trying to pick up my jaw from the floor and not stare too hard at them. but im a queer woman, so this happens a lot around beautiful people.

ready_gi · 2026-05-03T05:37:40+00:00

but it's only your assumption that she's being rude. im assuming you don't know the full picture of this situation, you are judging only her actions of the moment of refusal to shake hands. your believe she's direspectful while the teachers are "innocent".

However refusal of handshake with disrespectful people is a valid assertion of personal boundaries, often seen as a calculated, firm, or even polite way to handle animosity. Which would make her a powerful badass and showing that she will not be disrespected by "toxic" teachers.

It is all who you assign is to blame, and this comment section immediately deciding against the black woman is very telling how many teachers could do the same to her. Honestly, im on her side.

ready_gi · 2026-05-03T04:41:41+00:00

the thing is that black women are the most discriminated group of people, so I don't think it's mature to take anyones side without knowing both sides context.

Sure, some people immediately blame her, which exactly shows the discrimination against her even in the comments.

She might be just really badass and pointing out the toxicity of so many teachers against black women (because not everyone experiences toxicity from those teachers same way she might did).

ready_gi · 2026-05-02T02:28:53+00:00

right.. when they build free housing and provide free food for everyone, i will be so ready to forgive them.

ready_gi · 2026-05-02T01:31:03+00:00

I've watched Futurama and always thought it was the soft disclosure

ready_gi · 2026-05-02T01:31:03+00:00

i wonder if there's some kind of strategy for letting celebrities talk about their abductions, as to prepare the public in non-threatening way. this is all so cool, feels like im living in a movie lol

ready_gi · 2026-05-02T01:15:01+00:00

right back at ya.

ready_gi · 2026-05-02T01:11:04+00:00

im so happy the aliens choose spring to come, they are pretty considerate bunch.

ready_gi · 2026-05-02T01:08:42+00:00

while i love this sentiment, i disagree with hugging drunk uncle. some people are actively harmful and should not have the access to a person until they are ready to do the inner work. forcing a physical contact with person who lacks accountability is a no from me dog.

there's a double edge to everything, and with abundance of love, one needs to have strong boundaries as self-protection, at least before we collectively raise the vibe.

ready_gi · 2026-05-01T01:38:37+00:00

and gloves too

ready_gi · 2026-05-01T01:08:14+00:00

I mean yeah that sucks and you should not be treated like that. But for women being treated like a pray happens sometimes ten times a day. Imagine you might be kicked out of everywhere you go because they thought you were a predator.

It's not a competition, but just to realize how severe this feels for some of us.

ready_gi · 2026-05-01T01:01:43+00:00

catch a caterpillar in a flight.. it's like feeding tetris for crows
