LillyPip,

One of my first jobs was cleaning toilets in a bowling alley and I’m pretty sure this is what women do in the toilet. Anything to avoid touching that seat.

I’m a woman and I’ve never understood it.

LillyPip,

Yes, and that’s stupid.

It’s not ‘Jraphical Image Format’. Gah!!!

LillyPip,

/skəba/ (sk•uh•bah), obviously.

LillyPip,

I have to go off it for a month or so every so often because I go from ‘this is a nice feeling, I want to go to sleep’ when coming down to suicidal anxiety after a while. Not exactly a hangover, but it’s not ideal.

After a tolerance break, I’m fine again, but what the hell is that?

LillyPip,

Three bowls before 7am is a feat, though.

LillyPip,

I immediately thought this poor artist was in the cave for days, periodically poking his head out, and the bear was still there, just waiting.

They got many close looks at that bear and had nothing to do but draw the thing that would finally kill them when they got desperate enough to make a run for it.

This painting might be like someone writing Jeff on the tile floor in their own blood. Or they became friends like in a Disney movie. I see no middle alternative.

Joking aside, that’s a phenomenal likeness.

LillyPip,

Hahaha 🙃🙁😖😭

Some people live on yachts and that’s their entire home. So like a 70,000£ yacht, then like 300£ a month in slip (berth) fees, including electric and whatnot. I strongly considered it. It’s roughly the same cost but better than caravan living, IMO.

It’s a decent alternative to a landlocked home.

But yeah, millionaires with yachts are a different thing.

LillyPip,

The fuck do you think ‘whimsical’ means??

[from Harrison, OH]

Oh I see. Carry on.

LillyPip,

They have Homelander, what more do they need?

It definitely is. Kids bike down my street every day, though much more on weekends, I think because most schools near me don’t allow walking or biking to/fro anymore. Some kids getting run down on rural roads because they’ve been paved and turned into highways made it too unsafe for many kids to walk or bike to school, and it was too big a headache to have selective rules.

I’m in a suburban area between rural and city where kids don’t have to worry about high speed traffic or much violent crime, so kids are still free-range here. They videogame, too, of course.

LillyPip,

A four hour stream of someone fixing a device I don’t own and likely never will – gimme. So satisfying, though I have no use whatever for this knowledge.

LillyPip,

Henry Kissinger, how I’m missing ya

But not really. The world is a brighter place today.

LillyPip,

You’re not dead until you’re warm and dead.

Doesn’t apply to reptiles, though.

LillyPip,

Can confirm. I’ve made and worn historically accurate Victorian corsets for a few decades. They’re actually quite comfortable, supportive, and great for back pain.

The fainting thing is a myth. You can breathe fine and even touch your toes easily.

Only a few people were doing extreme tight lacing for clout – basically the equivalent of the Kardashians – but since photography was expensive and the media was like it is now, those were the ones we heard about most. Regular women weren’t doing that.

LillyPip, (edited )

They’re supportive like a back brace. Modern back brace construction borrows quite a bit from corseting.

If you wore them too tightly for prolonged periods because you were an actress or socialite, your core muscles may weaken eventually because the corset did all the posture work, sure.

That was a thing, but pretty rare since average women wouldn’t tighten to impractical amounts.
