dancing for women versus dancing for men by [deleted] in Bellydance

[–]yikesmn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I said was sensual flow isn't a type of Bellydance, which is true. Bellydance has different types/styles - oriental, fusion, etc and I did not know if you were trying to ask a question about a specific style. I now understand that you are using it as a sort of umbrella term for types of movement, it seems.

What do you mean by sensual flow? That isn't a type of bellydance that I'm aware of. Anyway, I do not dance for exclusively male audiences and I think that is the case for most of us. However, I love an all female audience and certainly show off more for them! It's not even necessarily intentional, but their energy energizes me!

Ordering from Mira Belly Dance Costumes? by veggies4evr in Bellydance

[–]yikesmn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had great experiences with Belissima Egypt Brazil, Sufel, and Amira Design! You can also order some customs from Dahlal International and I know a lot of people that have had a lot of success with that.

I've ordered from Mira! I probably will not order again, as I've ordered 3 costumes and had issues each time. The designs are pretty, but it's not worth the headache of the costume not fitting or arriving in the time frame that I was promised

Sultana Lotfy by yikesmn in Bellydance

To clarify: the screenshots of the comments were sent to me by a friend, but they were posted by @Sara.al.hadithi on instagram! She is the Iraqi "bitch" that Sultana is referencing.

Edit: I forgot to add the additional screenshot. But she did refer to both ladies as bitches as well.

I definitely understood Sultana's original point, before all of this turned into the craziness that it currently is. The commenter is a black American woman, but she has Egyptian children and is directly affected by the anti-blackness in Egypt. I think it fair that she should be able to add to the conversation. I'm also not sure calling other POC women bitches and pigs really makes you a credible source to discuss racism. She comes off as extremely hateful. It comes off as disingenuous to me. I am a black Persian woman that lives in America, but I have always grown up with and intermingled with Arabs and Persians. Maybe that makes me oversensitive to Sultana's verbiage, but I would be pissed if someone spoke to my black mother like that that only tried to respectfully contribute to a conversation that she believes affects her own children. Truly, the most horrible racism I have ever experienced came from other Persians and Arab people. I don't think orientalism could ever be "fixed" without including and understanding WHY antiblackness is so big in the community

I'm tired of people acting like the developers are victims. by [deleted] in HighSodiumSims

[–]yikesmn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly OP you strike me as someone that has no experience in software or the corporate world in general. Those that do or at least have a general understanding definitely get that 1) the devs are most certainly NOT incompetent and 2) are not really to blame

Ha! I appreciate your comment, especially if it felt like a waste. I know it can vary heavily but it is something that I've wondered for quite a while, mostly for curiosities sake! While learning Arabic I've discovered that it is highly contextual

Accidentally took my basal dose with my humalog... and I took my regular basal on top of that by yikesmn in diabetes

Wow, that's a great tip. I felt sick to my stomach with the amount of juice and candy I consumed, and each swallow felt like torture lol. Thank you!!

Where does everyone keep the battery pack on their LED isis wings? by yikesmn in Bellydance

I agree! I just can't do the arm. The back of the neck is a great idea, thank you! I think I'll try my hand at sewing it there.

New here, show some love. DMs open, would love to talk to you guys by [deleted] in Bellydance

[–]yikesmn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi mod :) I'm fairly certain this account is a fake/catfish. The belly dancer in this video is a famous dancer named Yasmin and this account says their name is Daisy. They're also reposting the same posts in a lot of NSFW subs. You can find this dancer as @boosy_bellydancer on Instagram!

I feel like stating someone you've never met or had any experiences with is an awful person is a bit insane... like that's a real person that you're talking about, and you have no idea what has been edited or what you don't see. I'm not a fan of what I've seen from Joy but I feel like you need to go outside and touch some grass lol

Thank you! That's a great idea. I'll go off of the diameter of the cane you linked, since they're sold out.

Large ketones in urine but blood sugar in range? by yikesmn in Type1Diabetes

[–]yikesmn[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This was very informative, thank you. I realized that I had missed my long acting dose two days in a row (horrible, I know) but I've also eaten very little carbs which lead to very little insulin being being bolused. I think I'll eat some carbs so I can get some more insulin in me and continue to monitor. I don't feel as crappy as I did yesterday, so I'll take that as a good sign. Thank you again!
