  • Luckily you don’t need to go to the subreddit to measure yourself, I’m constantly talking to women whenever I’m able to bring it up organically. I fucking hate what Victoria’s Secret has done to women and bras. One day I swear I’m going to stand in front of one of their stores and hand out measuring tapes and a paper with the website on it. I became such a huge advocate after learning my real bra size. I cried when I tried on my first H cup because I was finally comfortable and everything was in place.


  • As a woman who has had tons of trouble with bras, I highly recommend abrathatfits.org. It has been a game changer. The subreddit has some great resources as well (not sure if that’s changed since the protests though). But anyways, the majority of women are wearing the wrong size bra and don’t realize it. I went from a DD to an H. I can wear my bra all day and barely notice it. If you’re breastfeeding I suggest measuring when you’re half full. That’s what I did when I was breastfeeding and got the best results.





  • There was a war movie and in one scene they were handing out gear to the troops and one guy was like “Is there anything good?” or something along those lines and someone responded “It’s from the Army, NOPE!” And to this day whenever I think about it I chuckle a bit.





  • I mean, missionaries. My sister was one for over a decade and during those years she owned a backpack with some clothes and toiletries and that was all. She received monetary donations that she used to travel, stayed with families in the towns she visited, etc.

    You’re not going to see that in the US (especially the Deep South) or really any developed nation because churches are already established. But you will see it often in developing nations where the “message needs to be spread”.

    My sister is annoying as hell with a holier than thou attitude. Or at least to me because every time I try to talk to her the conversation somehow turns to god and after also being raised as a devout Christian, fuck that bullshit.

    And remember the Deep South has 2 denominations, evangelical and baptist, and both of those are fucking selfish fire and brimstone denominations.

    Yeah we still talk, but only because I had 2 kids with her son. She constantly tries to get me to go back to him because and I quote “we can’t handle him when you’re not around.” Yeah no shit, now he’s abusing y’all instead of me. I don’t care if I’m their mom, let one of my kids treat me like that, let alone their spouse? Oh hell no, they got me fucked up. Yet when she found out about why I left she said, again quoted word for word, “well you used to cut yourself so I don’t see the difference.”

    She’s grandma though so I allow the kids to VC her from time to time and she’ll send them stuff. I’m not a vindictive person so I won’t allow my relationship with her affect her and the kid’s relationship. Unless she starts talking crazy. I’ve already cut dad out because he started on some bullshit with them.
