A friend has extremely asymmetrical breasts, so a bra that fits their larger breast doesn’t fit their smaller one. They have a gel insert to put into that cup to account for this, but they also made a little pocket pouch in the same shape/size.

A lot of pushup bras also have a little pocket for a smaller kind of gel insert. I know a couple people who find that pocket useful for hiding valuable and/or illicit things (e.g. drugs)

I love the glee that women show when displaying their pockets. One of the first things I did when learning to sew was add pockets to many of my garments, so I get to do this quite frequently. It’s a sweet slice of trivial solidarity

Vim has long since won the war. I say that as an emacs user who is familiar with using vim because it’s installed by default on the vast majority of computers I interact with nowadays

Neat! This was so fun to learn about, thank you for sharing. Xiaolin Wu did not live in vain after all, because of nerds like us

Some of the best artists I know are people who started out without a single iota of talent, but they practiced for long enough that they got good. I reckon that talent probably does exist, but it’s a far smaller component than many believe. Hard word beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.

People who are most likely to emphasise talent in art tend to be people who wish they were good at art, but aren’t willing (or able) to put the time into improving; it feels oddly reassuring to tell oneself that it’s pointless to try if you don’t start out with talent, rather than being realistic and saying “I wish I were good at art, but I am choosing not to invest in that skill because it’s not one of my priorities”
