>>684318Ok, I'm maybe the odd one out but learning if you have a reaction similar to mine when you're already feeling rough is not something I want any soul to suffer. Spoilering the details:
I love coconut water and have found the hard way that there's something about it that makes me VIOLENTLY ill. Not coconut flakes, coconut cream, coconut oil or coconut milk, just coconut water. Terrible, painful gas that makes me nauseated to the point of needing to vom, and then a liquidation sale for my digestive systemPlease be careful anons.

When you are bloated but can’t quite get it all out try taking a warm bath. The warmth will relax your intestines and the water pressure will make the gas move. Works wonders for me!
You can also try this yoga position. Sit cross legged and move your upper body in circular motions. Clockwise and anti-clockwise. Makes it all move!

I love the monologue from Gone Girl, both the book and the film. I think it is a good knowledge to pass around.
Men always say that as the defining compliment, don’t they? She’s a cool girl. Being the Cool Girl means I am a hot, brilliant, funny woman who adores football, poker, dirty jokes, and burping, who plays video games, drinks cheap beer, loves threesomes and anal sex, and jams hot dogs and hamburgers into her mouth like she’s hosting the world’s biggest culinary gang bang while somehow maintaining a size 2, because Cool Girls are above all hot. Hot and understanding. Cool Girls never get angry; they only smile in a chagrined, loving manner and let their men do whatever they want. Go ahead, shit on me, I don’t mind, I’m the Cool Girl.
Men actually think this girl exists. Maybe they’re fooled because so many women are willing to pretend to be this girl. For a long time Cool Girl offended me. I used to see men – friends, coworkers, strangers – giddy over these awful pretender women, and I’d want to sit these men down and calmly say: You are not dating a woman, you are dating a woman who has watched too many movies written by socially awkward men who’d like to believe that this kind of woman exists and might kiss them. I’d want to grab the poor guy by his lapels or messenger bag and say: The bitch doesn’t really love chili dogs that much – no one loves chili dogs that much! And the Cool Girls are even more pathetic: They’re not even pretending to be the woman they want to be, they’re pretending to be the woman a man wants them to be. Oh, and if you’re not a Cool Girl, I beg you not to believe that your man doesn’t want the Cool Girl. It may be a slightly different version – maybe he’s a vegetarian, so Cool Girl loves seitan and is great with dogs; or maybe he’s a hipster artist, so Cool Girl is a tattooed, bespectacled nerd who loves comics. There are variations to the window dressing, but believe me, he wants Cool Girl, who is basically the girl who likes every fucking thing he likes and doesn’t ever complain. (How do you know you’re not Cool Girl? Because he says things like: “I like strong women.” If he says that to you, he will at some point fuck someone else. Because “I like strong women” is code for “I hate strong women.”)

>>683906Y'know this is pretty interesting. I've always thought about the strange human proportions and anatomy you see in old art because it's not like technological limitations would've impacted how well they draw. I always thought the babies ended up looking like adults because of lack of access to models for life drawing. Then again, I've seen that argument shot down when people speculate about why Michaelangelo drew women with male proportions.

>>685401Lacking female nude models is the most rational explanation I suppose bc lots of famous female depictions were based on male models just by virtue of having lots of male arists around in whatever studio they worked in. Obviously modesty was viewed differently back then but that was more of a concern of middle and upper class women and prostitutes were still prevalant. I think the past is usually made out to be more modest than it actually was because we almost always see it from the lens of the upper and middle classes of the time.
People speculate whether Michaelangelo was gay, and tbh I'm pretty convinced when I see some of the hundreds of love letters and sonnets he exchanged with several men, including an italian nobleman 30 years younger than him.
>I swear to return your love. Never have I loved a man more than I love you, never have I wished for a friendship more than I wish for yours.But sexuality and language and how people express affection was different back then so who really knows for sure. He was also described as being a bit of a shut-in and a celibate, so maybe he was just a virgin who didn't know what women looked like. A biographer also said this about him
>he often slept in his clothes and in the boots which he has always worn for reason of cramp, from which he has continually suffered, as much as for anything else. And sometimes he has been so long in taking them off that subsequently along with his boots, he sloughed off his skin, like a snake’s.so a bit of a wild card all around I'd say.
