A corset blog I was following is now doing public shaming of people for mistagging their lingerie and clothes as corsets which ugh no. The reason I follow corset blogs is so I DON’T have to look at all the mistagged stuff in the tags, for a start. Also ranting against porn (because no one who does porn could ever possibly be in full time waist training right, that’s just crazy talk). Oh and they’ve posted someone complaining about ass being in the cake tag (cake sitting is a thing, blacklist it or suck it up). And publicly mocked someone for their ‘ignorance’ because they’re using the widely accepted definition of corset. Surprise surprise, turns out one of their admins also admins thisisnotacorset, the blog that bullied me when I was using a cheap corset as a last ditch effort to avoid self harming when I was unable to get any bodymod work done, and who post ‘enjoy organ damage’ when people wear fashion corsets.

It’s really disappointing that so many good corset blogs go down this route because it makes me feel absolutely sick to read people being mocked and sexuality being shamed like that, I follow/chat to one of the other admins of that blog and she’s awesome, I don’t know what her view on all this is and I don’t want to get into stupid arguments with good people but I’m just really disappointed right now and can’t deal with seeing people getting treated like that on my dash.

You have to be aware if you post someone publically and mock them, even if it’s only gently mockery or ‘education’, you’re inviting others to harass them. Even if you directly ask your followers not to, they definitely will. Have some responsibility! I’m not going to name the blog for that reason, I don’t want to start any drama with them, though I will fucking name thisisnotacorset because I never got an apology from them after I told them that I was using my cheap corset as emergency self care and as practice wearing a corset for long periods of time until I could get hold of something more shapely. Them and their followers left me an absolute mess with my anxiety and dissociation out of control and then moved on abruptly when they realised I was sick and it might make them look bad.

YES, THANK YOU.

Disease appropriation now? Cultural appropriation wasn't enough, now you can't even talk about a disease unless you have it? Wow. Just wow.

This is pretty cool and eye-opening. I wish someone would do this sort of thing with male 6-pack ab models. 

They even Photoshopped the woman behind Selena's arm, because apparently not only do celebrities have to be thin, but they must also only associate with other thin people…

Enrico Francis has been caught

This pisses me off so incredibly much!

This is ridiculous. And disgusting. beautiful people being photoshopped to fit impossible standards AND most of the non-caucasian women are being white washed so they look more "appealing"

"We believe in traditional marriage as defined in the bible" is one of the most ignorant things a person can ever claim.

Context people. This is a part of the Bible that was intended for a group of people who had just been freed and had no laws or government and were becoming amoral. Look at the whole idea instead of a single verse. Funny sign though.

Ah, that clarifies matters, you can ignore my reply to your reply. You really think any of that justified killing rape victims? I know the full idea. It does nothing to excuse the laws. It's the opposite of morality, it's killing women for getting raped.

Please, tell me how being a recently freed people without government justified killing rape victims, or even non-virgins. Looking at the whole idea and such.

This, along with the other bible post you've been reblogging, is making me pretty angry. I get that if you're an addict (as anyone who really, really believes IS, studies have shown that prayer makes the brain produce more dopamine than is normal, the same as drugs do), you're going to try to defend your substance of choice, but there is really NO way you can defend this shit. The most important thing to consider when a woman has been raped is that HEAVEN FUCKING FORBID SHE STILL BE SINGLE AFTER HAVING HAD NON-CONSENTUAL SEX!

Never mind the fact that the rapist has violated her. Never mind the fact that she would probably feel ashamed, and scared, and hate herself. Never mind the fact that even now, the culture of victim-blaming is very strong, and a few thousand years ago would most likely have been a hell of a lot worse. Never mind the fact that the rapist receives no punishment (and if any of you fucks say "oh but maybe he didn't want to be married to her" that's not a punishment. That's a license to keep raping her, AND get his meals cooked, cos that's what happened in a lot of marriages until NOT THAT FUCKING LONG AGO). Never mind that the woman's FATHER gets some silver as recompense. And let's just entirely gloss over the fact that the woman who has been raped now has to spend her entire life with the man who "humbled her" and will probably spend every waking moment in fear that he'll do it again.

BUT HEY AT LEAST SHE DOESN'T HAVE THE SHAME OF BEING SINGLE AND HAVING HAD SEX AMIRITE GUYS

BTW Sorry for any spelling errors, I'm having to use IE and it won't let me look over the text I've already typed for some reason.

sharkchunks:

Do you mean to imply there's a context that makes executing rape victims or forcing them to marry their rapists acceptable? Here's the context, you'll find it quite clear and unremarkable as a law in a list of laws. Single verse or in tandem, that's what the laws say, undistorted and clear as crystal.

Although this verse could be taken to mean "because she didn't scream she clearly was fine with it, and cheaters deserve horrible death because MAKING CHOICES IS HUMAN AND I, GOD MADE YOU HUMAN AND SHALL NOW PUNISH YOU FOR IT", which is still way, way too fucked up to be relied upon as moral guidance, this also means that if someone were gagged and couldn't scream, or didn't scream because the other person had a knife and said "if you scream I'll stab you" or any of a number of possible things, then it's stil their fault and they deserve to die. Fuck the bible. Fuck people who look at the shit laid down in it, the shit god has supposedly said and done, and manage to convince themselves that god is loving. Like fuck is it. The god of the bible is petty, malicious, and evil.

Yep - my mum (Methodist preacher who's done theology courses and shit so not only Christian but educated Christian) couldn't put this in a non-disgusting context for me. Her only attempt at defending it was exactly what you said, that it's to stop women claiming it was rape if they were actually just having sex and didn't want to be punished for sex outside of marriage. Well here's a crazy thought, maybe if you didn't treat people like criminals for having sex outside of marriage then they wouldn't feel the need to do that? My mum also doesn't understand why anyone wouldn't scream/fight back if they were getting raped because she has approx 0% imagination or common sense. 

DO IT NOW: Guide to Proper Bra Fit and Measuring because Victoria Secret and La Senza and whatever are full of shit and you are definitely wearing the wrong size ok? ok

sameatschildren:

Hi guys I'm obsessed with this shit lately because I don't want anyone to have unhappy, unsupported boobs like I did. Even if you think your boobs and bras are fine, try it. It will make a big difference in comfort, support, and shape, even if you have small boobs or big boobs. A proper fitting bra can fix back, shoulder, and neck pain, along with breast soreness - and it can help you look 10lbs lighter, and your breasts a hell of a lot perkier. This guide also works for proper-sized bikinis and bathing suits (many online stores linked to below sell both- sometimes for as low as 10$!)

Don't just like this, REBLOG IT. EVERYBODY WITH BOOBS DESERVES A PROPER FIT. Even if you don't wear bras yourself, spread it around to tumblr or with your friends or family.

Grab a soft tape measurer (use inches) and get nekkid - don't wear a bra or shirt please, you don't wear a bra or shirt underneath your bra, do you? This part is fast and easy, and will help you find your 'Starting Point' bra size - you may not end up in this exact size, but it will get you in the right ballpark.

How to Measure:

• Measure your underbust - go right underneath the root of your breasts, but make sure the tape is straight/parallel to the floor. Take a firm, snug measurement - if you have chub, take it tighter.
• Measure your bust bent over - bend forward so your back is parallel to the  floor and your boobs are hanging so you have access to all that beautiful breast tissue that is now brought forward. Measure very loosely around the nipples, keeping tape straight/horizontal/perpendicular to the floor.
• If your breasts are kind of empty and/or have a lot of sag, this method may overestimate your cup size. Instead, take your bust measurement bent over, standing, and lying flat on your back, and take an average of those three measurements and use that for your calculations.

How to Use These Measurements to find your 'Starting Size':

• Round up your underbust measurement to the nearest even number. If you are only half an inch or less away from being a lower size, use that instead (unless you have a bony ribcage). This is automatically your band size. No BS. There is no adding imaginary inches here.
• The difference between your underbust measurement and your bust measurement dictates your cup size. Every 1 inch in difference represents a cup size, so 1 inch = A, 2 = B, 3 = C, 4 = D. As you can see here, a true D or DD cup is actually pretty fucking small. 
• CUP SIZES ARE NOT STANDARD, UNLIKE COMMONLY THOUGHT (AND TOLD TO US BY ASSHOLES LIKE VS). They are TOTALLY relative to band size. The cup on a 30D has 4 inches less volume than the cup on a 34D. A 30D is actually the same cup size as a 34B! 
• No one has their shit together on the lettering for each cup size, so here's a handy dandy chart. Remember to go with UK measurement as they somewhat have their shit together (and because American companies do not make much above DD, so there's literally no point in knowing it, but the European sizing may come in handy)
• 

• For example, I have a 29.5 inch underbust and a 38 inch bust when bent over. So, I should take a 30 band and then there's an 8 inch difference. So I am a 30FF in UK sizing. This is just my starting point when looking for bras, and I may not always end up with this exact size
• Do not pull the 'omg no I'm not a G cup my boobs aren't that big you're retarded' shit with me ok? You drank the Kool-Aid and now you need to piss it out. CUP SIZES ARE NOT STANDARD. A 34D IS BIGGER IN THE CUPS THAN A 30E. Here, take a look at a chart of cup volumes and see what I mean.
• Also… not all 'big cup' bras are ugly and granny-like. Just check out brands like Freya or Gossard or Gorteks or Panache or Cleo! They are gorgeous!

Trying it on: What a proper fit is like

• ALWAYS SCOOP AND SWOOP BEFORE ASSESSING WHETHER IT FITS OR NOT. What does this mean? This means bend over, hike up your bra so that it sits right under the root of your breasts. Then, start smooshing all your back fat and armpit rolls or any loose tissue thats underneath or to the side of the cup, INTO the cup. All that stuff is breast tissue that got pushed around from your shitty bras, no I am not bullshitting - after a few months of wearing better bras, many people end up having to get a bigger cup and sometimes even a smaller band too, as all the smooshed breast tissue migrates back to the boob, where it should be. Not kidding. So get everything in there and make sure the wire is positioned perfectly under your boobs. Then stand up and assess the fit. If it seemed to fit before scooping, it won't fit now.
• THIS IS JUST A STARTING POINT. Try on your starting size and work from there. You may need to go up or down a band size, or up or down many cup sizes. Not all brands or even models in that brand are made the same way, and the shape of your boobs also helps determine the size and fit, so don't try on JUST the size you calculated, say "it doesn't fit", and then give up and go back to your 36Cs. You aren't doing yourself any favours. If you don't feel comfortable in your 'starting point size', go ahead and try a size up or down in bands and/or a size or two or even three up or down in cups as needed.
• ALWAYS start on the loosest hook. If you need to start on the tightest hook, go down a band size. The point of hooks is simple - as your bra gets used, it gradually loses its elasticity and gets loose. So, you use your hooks to bring it in, and when you reach the last hook, well, be prepared to get rid of your bra in a few months (unless you invest in a band tightener like the Rixie Clip)
• A proper fit means the bra band is straight and parallel to the floor. If it isn't, and seems to be getting pulled up, its too big and isn't supporting you. Get a smaller band. You shouldn't be able to stretch it more than a couple inches off your back. It may feel tight at first, but bras do need 'breaking in' and you are used to wearing things that do not fit correctly, so give it a chance. Of course, it should not hurt either!
• A proper fit means your bra straps are not digging in. 
• A proper fit means the gore (the little centerpiece of the bra where the wires sort of meet) MUST tack/sit firmly against your chest. If it doesn't, then the wires are not truly fully underneath your boobs and so are not giving you the proper support. 
• A proper fit means your boobs must fit smoothly into the entire cup (after scooping and swooping). The wire should totally encase all your breast tissue (this includes armpit fat and stuff). There should be no empty space at the bottom or top of the cup. Your boobs should not be overflowing from the top of the cup. If there's overflowing or uncontained tissue after scooping, or of it feels tight, get a bigger cup.
• A proper fit means you should be able to lift your arms over your head and jump around without the band or underwire budging or exposing underboob.

Size Tweaks/Troubleshooting (make sure you scoop and swoop first):

• The band feels tight: Is the gore tacking or not? If not, go up a cup size or two (or maybe even three or four). Even if the gore is tacking, try this first. The band may be tight because the cups are too small, so your boobs are stretching the band out too much to overcompensate for lack of cup depth, making it feel tighter. If after trying larger cups, it still feels uncomfortably tight, go up a band size (and down a cup size if the first size fit well in the cups - remember, cup is relative to band, a 32DD is the same in the cups as a 34D). Remember though that it takes a few days to break a bra in, so it may feel tight or perfect at first, and then comfortable or too loose later.
• The band feels loose/band is riding up and not remaining parallel to the floor: Go down a band size (and up a cup size or two because blablah relativity). 
• The gore is not tacking, but band is not tight: Band size is too big, or maybe fits just right - but the cups are too small. You know what to do.
• Boobs spilling over: Go up a cup size. Check first though that the bottom of the cup is not empty, and hike it up if it is!
• Empty space at bottom of cup: Hike that shit up so it gets right to the roots of your breasts. This may fix bulging/spillage. If you can't get it higher, then you need a smaller cup or this make of bra is just not suited to your shape.
• Empty space at top of cup: You need a smaller cup, or this shape of bra just does not suit you your breasts, especially if your breasts are not very full on top. Or you need to scoop and swoop!
• Straps digging in: Loosen them. If your boobs suddenly sag, then the band is not supportive enough, and you need a tighter band.
• Armpit rolls: Bigger cup and/or scoop and swoop that shit. The cut of bra may also just not be for you (for now anyway - your armpit rolls may migrate back into the boobs and disappear eventually!)
• They don't even make my size!!: If you're in a 28-48 D-KK (UK sizing) cup, you will find your size online easily enough. however, if you have a smaller band than that or need smaller cups, they are hard to find - message me and I'll try to help you with a solution!
• So, for example, my starting size may be 30FF, but I may end up wearing a 28G or H if the band of that model is too loose and the gore not tacking. Or the band may be fine and I may need a bigger cup so I'll get a 30G. Or The band may be good but the cups too big, so I'll get a 30F or E. Or the band may be too small to be comfortable and I'll wear a 32F or E (same cupsize-ish as 30FF!). 

 What Not to Do:

• NEVER PUT YOUR BRA IN THE DRYER. AND PREFERABLY, WASH IT BY HAND. The heat and twisting ruins the elasticity of the bra and reduces its life! This is the best way to ruin bras, don't do it.
• Do not add 3 or 4 or 5 inches or whatever to your band measurement. That is BS that American companies use so that they don't have to manufacture a larger range of sizes - they use it to fit you into their stock, not their stock onto you. The band will be too big and unsupportive. Those 4 inches they add to the band are 4 inches that should be in the cup size, so no wonder people think anything over DD should be huge.
• Do not measure your 'overbust' cause really what the fuck does that have to do with how large you are underneath your boobs, come on
• Do not do the above because 80% of the support comes from the band, which needs to be firm against you and not be sliding or moving around.Would you wear underwear 4 inches bigger than your hips? No, so why would you wear a bra band 4 inches bigger than your ribcage that gets pulled up and stuff and would fall off if not for the straps, while expecting it to support the boobies at the same time?
• Do not go down a band size and then forget to go up a cup size or two. Again, cup sizes are not static. A 30FF is the same cup volume as a 32F or E. If you don't do this, no shit the bra will fit badly or feel tight.
• Do not go straight to Victoria's Secret or La Senza or whatever, even if you are lucky enough to fit in their small range of sizes - they don't seem to follow sizing very well. Still, try, by all means, but be aware that their bras may be odd compared to others.

 "But where do I get these Bras? I've never even seen these sizes!"

Luckily, the internet makes this shit really easy. Buying bras online is nearly always way cheaper, even with shipping, and even if coming from somewhere in Europe! But of course, its best to try on stuff first, to avoid the hassle of return shipping (even though its still not that expensive - just annoying). So what I advise is to find a store near you, try stuff on there, note down the Brand, Model, and Size, and then buy it online for up to a quarter of of the in-store price.

If you can't find a store near you, online ordering is still extremely cheap, even with return shipping. Instead of getting a whole bunch of bras in only 1 size each, pick out a few models and order a few sizes of each. Ex: one with a bigger or smaller band if your measurements are close to needing a bigger or smaller band size, and then some up or down a couple cup sizes so you can compare the fit. When you have the perfect fit in one bra, it will be easier to go on Bratabase or r/ABraThatFits and have them suggest bras that give similar shape or suggest a different size to you as a model you're interested in may run large or small.

So, Where to Find:

• Note: You can find proper-sized bras as low as 10$ US online (particularly from ebay or brastop.com) and most average 30-45$.
• List of Online Retailers from BustyResourcesWiki: A complete list of online retailers around da world. Many ship internationally so take a look at all of them (particularly the UK ones)
  
• Ebay, Etsy, and Amazon all have bras inexpensively.
• List of Offline Retailers from BustyResourcesWiki: List of chain-stores (not of privately owned stores)
  
• If in Canada, look for a Change Lingerie near you to try on bras. Note that they only carry their own brand.
• If in the USA, look for a Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack near you to try on bras. They carry all sorts of brands and have an online store as well (and also ship to Canada!)
• Use a store locator from the webpage of a bra brand company to find non-chain, privately owned stores - if they have one of these brands, they'll have others. Here's the locator for Freya, Curvy Kate, Fantasie, Chantelle, Panache, and Affinitas. There are more than just these of course.
• If you are small in the band AND in the cup (under a D cup) look at the Little Bra Company.
• Ask around on Bratabase or r/ABraThatFits for stores near you.
• WOMAN, YOU HAVE THE INTERNET! GOOGLE! YELP!

WARNING: There are many chain stores (Nordstrom, Lane Bryant, Mark and Spencer, Change etc) that do bra fittings and have a good reputation. However, each store is different - some measure correctly, and some use the stupid VS method. Every store has a different team of employees and knowledge. DO NOT GO IN WITHOUT HAVING MEASURED YOURSELF FIRST, JUST IN CASE THEY ARE ONE OF THE BAD STORES. DO NOT TRUST ALL BRA FITTERS, EVEN IF SOMEONE RECOMMENDED THEM TO YOU. If your fitter gives you a measurement different from this one, be mentally prepared to have a difficult time getting them to help you find the right bra.

I had the fitter at Change help me, and when I mentioned that the gore did not tack, she said "Oh, the gore never touches the chest with these bras". I was like HAHA NOPE BRING ME A LARGER CUP WOMAN. And lo and behold, 2 extra cup sizes later, the gore tacked (and my boobs stopped spilling out). She was very nice otherwise but if I hadn't known better that could have been bad.

Resources:

• r/ABraThatFits: forum for bras, they will help you with sizing, fitting, and finding the right model for your breast shape - they have links to a lot of resources, such as online stores, used bra listings, etc.
• Busty Resources Wiki: Great resource for fitting tips, diagrams, explanations, styles.
• Bra Band Project: an online gallery of what various sizes look like! Dump your disbelief!
• List of Online Retailers: Online is MUCH cheaper and shipping is usually cheap too, even from Europe. Try bras in a store near you , pick out what you like, and order them online instead.
• Bratabase: Database of bras, with user inputted measurements of each bra model in its size - bras may be marked the same size, but with this you can see which may have bigger or smaller bands or cups, or what style may suit what shape of breast, all of which helps find the perfect fit for you! 
• Great Youtube Video on Bra Fitting: This is one of the few people on Youtube who knows their shit about bras. Great for the visuals to help you understand what a bad fit and proper fit look like.
• Venusian Glow is a great bra blog - SO MUCH INFO. Suggests bras based on your boob shape amongst other things.

snarkopticon:

plasticmonkeylegs:

I don't even know what to say in this post but a while ago I reblogged an absolutely gorgeous corset for sale saying something like 'Anyone rich want to buy this for me?' not even remotely expecting that to happen. One of my very, very generous followers has done exactly that - I'm totally stunned. THANK YOU to that person. Idk I don't want to go on and on because I know it was a reluctant sale so I feel like a dick being super excited about having the corset that a very nice lady no longer has, and I also don't want to come off like I expect expensive gifts or am bragging about that, I'm just totally in happy shock and excited for a new corset and yeah.

When it arrives I'll take some photos, I found a perfect skirt to go with it on Very today so I've ordered that to make an amazing shiny outfit (I had loads of pay nowt for a year credit left on Very, so I'm taking my sanity in my hands and trusting them not to fuck up my order) - the corset is black and silver, and the skirt is floorlength silver. That's not a complete outfit my tits would be everywhere, I'll figure out the rest later.

Shutting up now.

You're not being a dick. At all. I needed the cash, and I thought it would be selfish to make such a pretty corset languish in the back of my closet indefinitely. (If anything, I was kinda being a dick by moping about the fact that no one randomly buys me expensive things, let alone all anonymously and shit like out of a fucking romance novel, omg, how is that even your life??)

Anyway, that outfit sounds gorgeous. Tits everywhere? Yes. Put some sequined pasties on 'em, burlesque-style.

Thanks <3 Honestly stuff like this is really not my life almost all the time, I’ve never had an anonymous gift before not even something tiny, I’m properly stunned it happened at all!

That does sound like a great outfit, but if I want to go outside anywhere I’m going to have to find a shirt I think :P A tits everywhere version for Tumblr, and a more covered version for the real world!

I don’t know if one of my followers went and bought some of my porn in response to that post or if it was just excellent timing that someone just bought some but seeing that $9.95 appear in my UMD account has calmed me down a bit even though it’s a drop in the ocean haha. Going to stop being an emo-kid, do some video editing, script out some movies and improve my UMD profile instead of feeling sorry for myself :) Either I make the money in time or I don’t, the worst thing I can do is sit around stressing about it and even if I’m utterly fucked earning even a small amount will make me feel better in the short term :)

Genuinely worried sick about my financial situation. Things keep getting better but not fast enough...

Genuinely worried sick about my financial situation. Things keep getting better but not fast enough to actually fix things in time and I genuinely don’t know what’s going to happen in a couple of months when my tax payment is due and I just don’t have the money to pay it. I feel like an asshole whining but I just need to vent, I’m going to start offering in person wet and messy sessions asap (which money problems or no, is something I really want to be doing and will be super fun, but working out the details of an entirely new service is of course added stress) so that might help things a bit but £1500 in under 2 months on top of all my outgoings might just not be physically possible. I’m so frustrated that I’m STILL paying for the mistakes I made due to untreated mental illness, serious trauma and unchecked drug and alcohol abuse. I’ve cleaned my life up massively, I’m stable and sober and working my ass off but I just can’t save up for the next lot of tax when literally every penny I earn is going on tax I should have saved for 6 months ago, when I was paying off tax from 6 months before THAT, and so on and so on back to the money I burned through because I couldn’t get out of bed for weeks at a time. Even if I manage it this time, in 6 months I’ll be worrying about the exact same thing again and I will literally never catch up. I had a loan last  year and borrowed money from my parents this year and it’s just not been quite enough because paying it back stops me saving up for the next time, I’m determined not to borrow this time and even if I wasn’t, there’s nowhere left to borrow from.

The fucking stupidest thing about it all is that money worries are the only thing that still give me anxiety at all and make me want to drink/use drugs/self harm - all of which will make my money problems actively worse because they stop me working. My brain isn’t logical though so instead of getting on with work I spend far too much time moping around trying not to go entirely crazy.

"The Red Wedding is based on a couple real events from Scottish history. One was a case called The Black Dinner. The king of Scotland was fighting the Black Douglas clan. He reached out to make peace. He offered the young Earl of Douglas safe passage. He came to Edinburgh Castle and had a great feast. Then at the end of the feast, [the king's men] started pounding on a single drum. They brought out a covered plate and put it in front of the Earl and revealed it was the head of a black boar — the symbol of death. And as soon as he saw it, he knew what it meant. They dragged them out and put them to death in the courtyard. The larger instance was the Glencoe Massacre. Clan MacDonald stayed with the Campbell clan overnight and the laws of hospitality supposedly applied. But the Campbells arose and started butchering every MacDonald they could get their hands on. No matter how much I make up, there's stuff in history that's just as bad, or worse."
