he’s a parent.

excellent, thank you for this! i think you and the other poster made my day!
😆 some days i feel unhelpful! i was thinking after posting, i don’t mind saying i’m a therapist, just prefer not to identify my specific field/licensure.
edit - … as i’m trying to make myself not-too-identifiable.
helping professional. i won’t be more specific here.
welcome to fashion. you can add things to the body that emphasize good stuff, detract from stuff you don’t like, draw the eye in a particular direction, create an illusion, break up an expanse, etc.
enjoy!
because i was 18, a freshman in college, and just got dumped. i was all down about it and a friend offered me one and i thought, fuck it, why not.
then i bummed another a few days later and so on. bought my own pack within a week.
i think there’s like a whole subculture around these shoes, no joke
edit - other people in thread explaining it better!
challenge. and yeah, i could have gone for something more recent, but i figured if you like endtroducing and haven’t heard this, you will probably appreciate it.
throughout reading this thread, what echoes in my mind over and over is this - “the perfect is the enemy of the good.” and honestly, right now i’m defining “good” as “not-fascism,” “not-Trump,” “not the man who will burn it all down as quickly as possible.”
yes, i’m hiding from the next bullet. i’m hiding myself, my family, my friends, my co-workers and clients. my choices are the man with the loaded gun who has TOLD us what to expect, and any other possible alternative.
for now, i happen to think this is GOOD ENOUGH, and those who would sacrifice that on principle have not really imagined what is very likely to happen next. i’m sorry i can’t save the people of Gaza, but i can try to save those i know and love.
indeed, lots of people make poor decisions regardless of age. but statistically speaking, 24 year olds have resources (experience, development) which increase their capacity to make better decisions.
someone at 24 has several more years of experience in the adult world. someone at 24 has several more years of neurological development (which isn’t complete until around 25). in other words, at 24 someone has better context for decision-making and better decision-making ability than someone who is 18.
somewhere online is a copy of a pamphlet that was made available to resistance folks during ww2, full of similar fun facts.

“That doesn’t take anything away from the art.”
i dunno, it looks pretty soulless to me.
