Sloggi Lingerie Q&A in Berlin, April 2015

LuluLemon visit…

Was at KLCC this morning and bought my men’s underwear from LL. They only had black which was a downer but it was $7 discounted down to $23 or 108RM (if you’re Malaysian). The staff were friendly and definitely upper class like most of the luxury boutiques there. Some of which I never even hope to enter.

Hand washed my LLs, press dried them in a towel, and am wearing them now. Between Sloggi Allrounds and LL In Motion briefs, I prefer the LL as they are more roomy / comfy, like pajamas vs. sweatpants. But the one size Sloggi are definitely the better looking cut.

Gotta love the branding. And I will often wonder about the CKs which I passed on.

literally there’s no problem in my life that couldn’t be taken care of if i had $10k. if i woke up tomorrow & $10k was taped to my front door it would solve all my issues, fix my mental health & credit score, & improve everything in every way. also it would be the start of a fantastic mafia movie

The age-old question: Do I avoid news? Or bury myself in it?

I see folks sharing the 'block / mute certain US pol terms or names to protect your peace.'

I am glad that works for folks.

We need to remember that this isn't the only way to handle things. Some of us - whether its due to anxiety, being marginalized & targeted, or being activists - NEED to pay attention.

For example, the avoid information thing has never worked for me. I grew up in a household shaped by trauma, where not knowing what was going to happen put me in danger because it meant things were much more turbulent than when they were predictable or I knew what was happening. This has resulted in me just always being much more anxious and nervous if I don't have a handle on the current and possible near-future states of literally anything (work, home life, interpersonal relationships, etc.).

I'm not saying those of you who take the more avoidant route are doing it wrong. I wouldn't. Everyone needs to handle things differently, and that's okay.

So, if it works better for you to avoid information and very cautiously curate what you see on social media or news sites, please do that.

Just remember that if you're completely tuned out, you may miss key moments where your allyship or voice can make a difference in someone else's life.

So what do we do?

We're all going to need to find the balance, and that means us info-sponge folks resting and those avoid-the-info folks figuring out how to get the most important (and filtered) information.

Listen to your friends who are paying attention when they bring up issues to take action or speak up against. (Yes, set boundaries - if you need to not hear information tonight, set up a time on Friday or something. Figure out together how to work through pressing & time-sensitive info / needs / actions.)

If you have an anxious or activist-focused friend, don't encourage them to ignore. From the first go-round of you-know-who, I can tell you that this can feel belittling, demeaning, and like you're misunderstanding their need to pay attention. Understanding myself better now, I can also say that this isn't a trauma-informed approach.

Neither is my info-sponge self telling folks I know who are avoidant every single thing that happened yesterday.

I'll tell you what we can do, though -

Figure out how to be in community TOGETHER.

How can you both support each other - An info-sponge supporting an avoidant person's ability to prioritize self-care And the avoidant person supporting the info-sponge in ways so that they can pay attention for BOTH folks.

If you're an info-sponge person:

Can you set up a weekly check-in with friends to help explain topics they might not understand and how what's going on now affects that? (I'm thinking about how, as an out disabled & trans person, I'm often a source of information for abled cis folks about not just disability / trans 101 topics but also legislation, petitions, and ways to protect these communities.)

If you're an avoidant person:

Can you watch their kids so your info-sponge friend can go to city council or testify against a harmful piece of legislation?

Can you make them dinner and catch up on the big-picture / tldr details of what happened this week with planned self-care to follow?

Can you sit down and watch Last Week Tonight together (again, with planned self-care to follow)?

Can you help remind them about self-care in ways that aren't 'ignore this thing now' but shifting or redirecting their focus?

"It's finally going to be warmer this weekend. Let's go hiking on Saturday." (preferably where there isn't much cell signal) "Let's watch a movie." (and lock up, turn off, or completely mute our phones - or put them in the other room) "Let's take a mini road trip together." (with only the most important device notifications - calls from family, etc. - set to make noise)

Let's all use the skills we have to lift each other up and make this time less burdensome on all of us. Allow those of us who need to pay attention do so. Allow those of us who need to avoid to do so.

Don't try to change each other; Instead, focus on how to support each other while mindfully using each of these archetype's skills in the most strategic way possible.

If we work together like this, we can protect each other, stay on top of what's happening, deal with the issues that need to be fought quickly, and create a better community.

Note: I'm not saying these are the only two personality types / archetypes in the scenario in which we find ourselves. These are just the two that I personally am most familiar with and able to give information around. And, no, there should not only be one person who is in either of these roles in a given community group - part of community is going to be figuring out how to share the burden of staying informed.

I really do hope Blossom stays good until the end. There's only a few episodes left. The writers/director better not have messed it up.

Worked out more….

I did 60 pushups instead of the usual 20 to look fitter before I first visit LuluLemon at KLCC. This is after I decided to save $10 or 30%, and get LL instead of Calvin Klein underwear.

Underwear is important, more than you’d assume. Aside from comfort and confidence, it is nowadays also a status symbol. I own a pair of Sloggi (men’s) made out of the softest bamboo fiber (modal) and it is amazingly flush fit. A mark of quality and luxury.

As one good underwear isn’t really enough, I’m getting it an illustrious friend, then that’s done for briefs and many other things as well.

finishing this last church page is like trying to pull teeth with a melon baller

[sassyandclassy94]

The fact that Joe and the freshman boys (Roger included) would throw water balloons out the train windows at unsuspecting cows and dogs (and most likely people too) while on their way to Poughkeepsie. It’s so hilarious and should’ve been shown in the movie for comical value.

We needed that, George Clooney.

my relationship with dream theater is very interesting because its like. a really fucking mid (to downright Bad once you look at anything past octavarium really) band but its also really interesting to listen to as just like. evidence of prog metal's origins. it's cool seeing how the shit they do reflects in more modern bands. half of it is kind of just like people jacking off in a music studio. their lyrics are very rarely like Interesting. they're kind of like the dune audiobook of prog rock but it saddens me when people just wave off their music as like complete schlock. its only halfway that. basically what im saying is if dream theater has 10000000 fans i am their #1 hater. if dream theater has only 1 fan that will be me
