I have arm tattoos and work in service and this has never happened to me Iām shocked you have to deal with it! Of course you could wear long sleeves if allowed but that can get rly warm as a server (maybe mesh ones?) to avoid the awkwardness altogether
Other than that Iād say ask manager to put a ādo not touch the servers ā sign up and if someone does feel free to snatch your arm away and tell them to refer to the sign, itās always easier when you can point to a sign lol
As a powerful woman I second this š
You did the right thing! And these people get into these situations every day, you act like an arsehole u get treated as such, he probably squares up to people multiple times a week and wonāt even remember you, plus he might not have been sober anyways
I think any discourse should remain an open book as long as everyoneās respectful and just adding their own experiences to create a wealth of knowledge for everyone to be informed about peopleās own experiences as trans people (and on other topics of course) but yeh the comments on this got judgy real quick. Any of my questions come from a place of love and a desire to be well informed, thank you for sharing your experience !
Heās a good player but thereās just something not gelling right at arsenal, would be nice to see him somewhere thatās right for him
My tutor and I have had some interesting conversations about this topic and Iāve also read some pretty interesting literature on the matter (not that I can remember the name of a single damn thing) so I feel like I can give a somewhat well educated answer to this
Please search around for articles from feminist art critics as well to form your own opinion for your practice because this is a super fast overview
Thereās nothing at all wrong with the nude figure and youāll find lots of classical art uses it and nobody except maybe 12 year olds cares that theyāre nudes, because theyāre done right
Firstly, award the woman in the painting agency. Does she have mouth to speak with? Hands to control? Etc. itās also worth noting that a lot of tasteful nudes include fabric that the woman COULD be covering herself with, but she chooses not to, keyword being chooses.
Secondly, keep it realistic. Bodies are āflawedā and fragile yet powerful, all things that you can portray mostly by just thinking of them in this way while you create (aka. Donāt worry about the male gaze, keep your confidence!) to cover her up for fear that men will leer is to let her be oppressed.
Good luck with the painting :)
I disagree heavy on this, asking Reddit is kinda a form of sociological research and to be an artist who doesnāt do their research would be to fail
True, local motorcyclist groups (the old Harley Davidson types) are a pretty tried and true method from where Iām from, the types that are into vigilante justice. It was probably bad advice tho, I just really hate that men get away with this shit so often
Call the Samaritans or another charity, you can just hang up if you wish to at any point, but they have all of the resources and training to direct you onto the right path to get better because it really can get better (I tell people this all the time, they tell me Iām wrong, but Iām right because I and most of my friend group are testimony to that)
I donāt know how old you are but if youāre in puberty your hormones can FUCK UP YOUR BRAIN!! Seriously. Hormone induced psychosis, bipolar, depression, anxiety, theyāre all real asf and when I turned 19 my life got so much better and I know itās partly because of my hormones.
Keep up hope, and just keep going. Even if life feels like a long painful journey thereās a good chance itāll be over in a couple of years, and the ways I learned on my journey there have stuck with me to make me an extremely resilient woman today. Best of luck <3
Sorry donāt know why I hit you with the āxā like weāre Facebook huns š
You have really lovely feminine features and as you continue on your journey youāll learn how to emphasise those in the way that makes you feel the best! Itās not easy finding your look as a teen and then to do it all over again when you begin your transition is another massive obstacle but you got it girl! If I may offer some loving advice, I think a middle part would really suit you, and I personally find some cute chunky earrings really bring out my softer features š«¶š¼
Good because you do indeed look cute
Icl if my boyfriend said this Iād laugh in his face and tell him to go take a nap, he sounds like he got cranky and went for a low blow like a 13 year old
Faithful men exist yes, Iāve never dated anyone who I would think could ever cheat on me but my longest relationship is 3 years so I guess thereās time, I trust him fully though. Of course there are certain types of men though and a lot of them do seem to cheat, u know the ones, they go out with their āboysā every week, are low-key sexist and selfish. My type is more the left wing meteosexual type who when theyāre with their girl friends act the exact same as with boys.
No matter what though DUMP HIS ASS. He has the audacity to cheat more than once?? Heās taking you for a fool and you deserve better. Of course you could go the other way and just cheat on him right back, open up the relationship, whatever :p at least that way you share the power but thatās probably not the best if itās something your child could find out about
My boyfriend does this too š mf just starts grindin and trying to put his hands places!! Iām glad Iām not the only one Cus heās not the type to force anything at all š
Perhaps this is bad advice but I know that sometimes you rly donāt feel it is an option to go to the police (plz do if you can though) but honestly fuck them, save up some money pay some rough and big folks to find your ex and beat him to a bloody pulp š«¶š¼š«¶š¼
Just fyi, I donāt answer calls from people I havenāt heard from in a while unless I rly force myself to. I only say this so you know that itās probably not a you thing itās a them thing!! And the same goes for a lot of other things, I used to be insecure that I wasnāt good enough to be anyoneās close friend but actually Iāve discovered that weāre all just the centre of our own lives, some friends are joined at the hip and thatās just not how my relationships go which is fine.
As for your coworker theyāre an asshole plain and simple, and in this life thereās a lot of them. You keep being a good person and no matter what else happens you know that you are good, there is only one person you can rely on and that is yourself, which isnāt a bad thing!
Itās disgusting from him and downright predatory from your mum, sorry that all of this happened to you
Fr itās a typical case of āIām wokeā (for lack of a better term) actually meaning āI feel guilty about my privilege and want to feel better without having to do more than the bare minimumā
If youāre gonna learn Iād say do the class but as someone who does a fine art Bachelors degree just do things instead of relying on being taught. Of course thereās basic tips that are good but honestly youāll develop much more as an artist by problem solving on your own as thatās how you develop a style! Donāt worry about it looking good, failure is a MUST!!
Bro youāre 21 (Iām 21) thatās still young asf. I know thereās loads of boss babes and Andrew tates telling you you should be sorted by now but ur lifeās ur own journey to do as you please. There is no goal in life, just enjoy the journey and stop stressing about being āsuccessfulā
I doubt youāre ugly like you think but for the sake of argument letās say you are.
Thereās plenty of guys who feel the same way abt themselves so generally tend to look past looks
Donāt do it if ur not ready, it sounds like you need to trust someoneās intentions before having sex which is super normal so if you were to get to know someone, perhaps start a relationship, then maybe sex will happen naturally but it doesnāt matter how long that takes cus itās ur life and itās ur choice
Youād be surprised how many people like different looking people, I myself find a whole multitude of people to be beautiful and this includes a lot of conventionally unattractive people. Itās really not as black and white as you think
U look so prettyyyyyy
My kiddo snapped this pic of me and I kinda like it š
