On a rainy Saturday afternoon not so long ago when internet connection was fluctuating in most homes, the 80-year-old Cecile Guidote-Alvarez, widow of the late Senator Heherson Alvarez, carrying a mini iPad, hurriedly alighted from a three-wheeled pedicab Toktok and stormed her way into a popular coffee shop in a mall in Manila.

A senior citizen in panic mode, she told the stunned baristas she’s looking for a Wi-Fi connection because she was about to interview retired Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonio Carpio via Zoom.
The coffee shop, a known world brand, has Wi-Fi exclusive to its employees, so the old lady was told to try other establishments. She went from one coffee shop to another only to be told the same, until a kind stranger led her to a well-known beauty salon with a free internet connection.
The lady salon attendant was very accommodating to the octogenarian, even typing the password on her IPad. Of course, she needed to avail herself of their salon services. Initially, she opted for a haircut, but since she needed to talk and hear clearly who she was talking to, she settled for a foot spa with pedicure.
“They lowered the volume of the piped-in music, and since there were less customers because it’s been raining all day, I was able to do my interview,” Guidote-Alvarez said.
For the next half-an-hour, the hair dressers and manicurists working with their scissors, nail clippers and cuticle removers on their customers’ hair and fingernails, listened to Carpio and Guidote-Alvarez discussed how Filipino fishermen and the Philippine Navy ships helplessly negotiate their ways in Scarborough Shoal amid the territorial disputes in the West Philippine Sea.
“They were all very nice to me. I was able to finish my interview, with newly pedicured nails,” she told The Diarist.
For those who’ve worked with Guidote-Alvarez, her steadfast, almost stubborn, nature to accomplish a task, is nothing out of the ordinary. She would improvise, find alternatives, call up friends and former students, wake them up from sleep, just to get things done.
But now, in her 80s, legally blind and nearly deaf, she has mellowed down.

In her twilight years, Guidote-Alvarez has been solely hosting the 57-year-old Radyo Balintataw on DZRH, one of the oldest radio stations in the Philippines, where she tackles a wide range of topics, from climate change, women’s health, theater, culture, dance, to current issues, apart from playing old recordings of classic radio plays she produced and directed, dating back to the late ‘80s.
She shared with TheDiarist.ph how she started and continues to host one of the longest running advocacy programs on AM Radio.
Theater on TV
After founding the Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) on April 7, 1967, or exactly 57 years ago, Guidote-Alvarez thought of the need to expose PETA’s members to television, so she started conceptualizing Balintataw, which in Filipino means the pupil of the eye, but in a larger context has something to do with having wild imagination, or what you might see if you have a third eye.

“I designed Balintataw as a bridge between cinema and the stage, where the youth being trained in theater skills can have a ready-made laboratory experience linked with the film and entertainment industry that would likewise have a natural on-the-job training and orientation regarding the theatrical discipline of working with a literary script, whether dramatic or comic—not the regular improvised script done on taping or copycat scripts from foreign themes,” Guidote-Alvarez wrote in her yet-to-be published Memoir of a Freedom Fighter’s Wife.
“A primary goal when I conceived PETA was to initiate and sustain artistic expression that draws meaning and power from the lives of the people, and sharing the literary gems with a greater number of audiences through a Broadcast Theater-Film Program with Balintataw on Channel 5,” she added.
“No matter how little the pay, at least it provided our local writers with a little honorarium. I sought permission for award-winning pieces of the Palanca Playwriting contest to be fleshed out to reach the masses. The much-awarded playwright Bert Florentino served as our literary manager, assisted by Mauro Avena. Eventually, Isagani Cruz took over when Bert left for the US,” she wrote.
“Writers need exposure and encouragement through a regular TV performance that will give them a sense of achievement and inspire them to keep on writing with some kind of honorarium. I was glad Lupita Aquino (now Kashiwahara) agreed to be TV director and Robert Arevalo as TV host.
She got members of the PETA Kalinangan Ensemble to serve as stage directors. “This is to undertake preliminary preparation with a rehearsal with the actors for character development and memorization and preliminary staging,” she wrote.
Five months after PETA was founded, Balintataw TV premiered on Channel 5 on Aug. 19, 1967, coinciding with the Buwan ng Wika birthdate of President Manuel Luis Quezon.
The first play, whose title escapes her now, featured Armida Siguion-Reyna and Maria Eva “Chingbee” Kalaw. She employed photo journalist and award-winning photographedocumentarist/cinematographer, Romy Vitug, to work with her in filming outdoor scenes for Balintataw.

In the pre-Martial Law Balintataw, among those initiated into television were Lino Brocka, Elwood Perez, Nick Lizaso, Maryo delos Reyes, Mario O’Hara, Joey Gosiengfiao, Behn Cervantes, and Frank Rivera.
Among the stage actors who crossed over to television were Lily Gamboa, Angie Ferro, Lorlie Villanueva, Jonee Gamboa, Joy Soler, Sherry Lara, Gardy Labad, Noel Trinidad.
Like with PETA, Guidote-Alvarez directed and managed Balintataw for five years. Because of Martial Law, she and husband Heherson went on exile in the US to escape a military shoot-to-kill order on Heherson, who was tagged as a subversive.
Post-Martial Law
Internationally acclaimed auteur Lav Diaz mentioned in several interviews how he learned writing radio and TV scripts in Balintataw.
This happened in the late 1980s, when the Alvarez couple returned from exile.
Despite its absence on the air in the Martial Law years, Balintataw was honored by Star Awards as among the 20 unforgettable outstanding broadcast programs in the Philippines.
“This encouraged me to consider reviving Balintataw on TV. Another blessing was a FAMAS award for having an important role in the development of cinema recognizing Balintataw as a bridge for synergizing cinema with the stage, providing a pathway of entry of our PETA artists into film and for movie stars to consider enriching their experience by acting on the legitimate stage,” Guidote-Alvarez wrote.
Though she didn’t return to PETA anymore because it had been surviving well and had its own set of officers led by Brocka, she just tapped some of its members for the return of Balintataw.
For 14 years, the Alvarez couple lived in the US as political exiles, shown here during a Ninoy Aquino Movement meeting. Cecile revived Radyo Balintataw upon their return in the late 1980s.
Channel 4 stint
“I arranged to revive TV Balintataw on Channel 4 in 1989. We began with a drama about a rebel returnee, title escapes me now, but I clearly remember it was written by Lualhati Bautista and directed by Maryo de los Reyes. We also had a good story series on the hazing of Lenny Villa, an Aquila Legis Frat neophyte,” she wrote.
At the time, Heherson had been elected senator after having served as Agrarian Reform Minister and eventually Cabinet Secretary during the first year of the Cory Aquino Administration.
“We were able to unravel the deadly hazing process from a fellow neophyte who broke the code of silence as we revealed graphically, acted the cruel process used. I had Jose Mari Avellana direct it. This presentation won all the awards. Lav Diaz was training with us and he started writing teleplays. We also had Nora Aunor in an adaptation of Bert Florentino’s The World Is An Apple, adapted by Frank Rivera, and I had Nick Lizaso direct.”

Emmy Awards
Balintataw TV was selected as one of five soaps for social change recognized by Emmy Awards. The Philippines was one of five countries cited, with Mexico, India, Brazil and Kenya.
“The nomination was made possible by the wonderful support from David Poindexter. It was a supreme honor for our country to be recognized in the Emmy Awards, to be cited among the five Third World countries using soap opera for social change.”
Poindexter was a Methodist minister and TV producer who founded the Population Communications International.
Surviving on radio
“In spite of the cry about how television can be deadening the minds of the people with copied themes with an eternal favorite love triangle story, there was really no funding for Balintataw,” she wrote.
“Sponsors would go naturally to the commercial stations where big stars were paid highly for the starring role. Balintataw may have substance but we could not afford payment of bankable stars,” she added.
“Financial stress forced me to drop TV and remain on radio because I didn’t want to kill Balintataw per se just because we didn’t have funds.”
Creative classroom
“We have focused on Balintataw as a creative classroom on the air. I was able to talk to Fred J. Elizalde of DZRH and the president of the network, Mr. Jun Nicdao,” she wrote.
In the ‘80s, the HIV/AIDS became a global epidemic and in the Philippines, the general populace was still clueless on how to deal with it.
“In order to get funding, the first series I did was about the explosive news regarding AIDS in Asia. I got the DOH Secretary at the time, Dr. Juan Flavier, to act as himself, providing the data. It was easier to start off with an AIDS radio serial.
They did a minimum of 13 episodes to raise awareness about the disease.
“From then on, some of our television scripts we transformed into a radio version. DZRH provided us with our initial production staff, so we used some from the network and some of its resident artists and drama talents. Our time slots were changing but always coming after the long-running horror drama, Gabi ng Lagim.
“We worked on the themes of overseas workers, the drug problem, corruption, aside from portraying contemporary and literary classics serving as social commentaries,” she wrote.
Women playwrights
“We dramatized the works of noted women writers and playwrights like Estrella Alfon, Genoveva Edroza Matute and Marilou Jacob, who is distinguished in being a founding president of Women’s Playwright International.
“Apart from our PETA staple of writers, we involved young, upcoming and budding university and community theater groups.
“We also had a lot of foreign plays, where we could feature theater festivals beyond borders. We could do Shakespeare, we could do Euripides but also the current playwrights in the Arab region we translated in our language.
“We brought in Chinese contemporary plays, Malaysian, Indonesian and from other women writers from ASEAN member countries.”
Virtual history book
“The significance of Balintataw is portrayed as a virtual history book on audio as it unveiled events in the country. Radio is fresh, instant and up-to date,” she added.
When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, Balintataw became Guidote-Alvarez’s outlet and therapy. Having lost her husband on the second month of the pandemic, a widow cocooned at home, she began hosting it six days a week, learning how to use an iPad and interviewing via Zoom.
The word “Balintataw” has been associated with her name.
Visual artist and editorial cartoonist Benjie Lontoc in casual meeting told us how in his younger days, when AM Radio was a national past-time, he was surprised to hear a Filipino adaptation of No Exit by Jean Paul-Sarte. This was when radio was airing soap, fantasy adventures targeting housewives and children.
Another was the airing of Larawan as a radio play in the 1990s, with Guidote-Alvarez as the voice of Candida Marasigan.

In the 1960s, she directed Larawan, the first Filipino adaptation of Joaquin’s A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino for PETA’s second season. It ran from December 1968 to January 1969 at the Raha Sulayman Theater at Fort Santiago in Intramural. In the cast were Rita Gomez (Candida), Lolita Rodriguez (Paula), Leopoldo Salcedo (Don Manolo) and Dante Rivero (Tony Javier).
Guidote-Alvarez has a funny recollection of the radio play. It was Nick Joaquin himself who told her years ago how his pedicurist suddenly started a conversation about Larawan.

Joaquin was relaxing on the barber’s chair having a post-haircut pedicure and foot spa when the lady pedicurist asked him how the story would end. Joaquin was stunned because he didn’t want to be known in the barber shop as Nick Joaquin the famous National Artist for Literature, but just a regular customer.
“He told me he almost fell out from the chair. He was a very private person and the pedicurist recognized him as the playwright,” Guidote-Alvarez, laughing, told TheDiarist.ph.
When she was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000, she was given only three years to live. It’s been more than two decades since then. She has also conquered COVID-19 twice.
Over and beyond her work in theater and various advocacies, Guidote-Alvarez is among the few surviving practitioners of AM Radio broadcasting.
The beauty salon incident wasn’t a first for the octogenarian radio host. She occasionally went back there to interview guests and record her shows whenever Wi-Fi connections in her home fluctuated.
Despite all setbacks, man-made or otherwise, the steadfast Cecile Guidote-Alvarez’s voice continues to be heard in this mass media platform in an era that knows mainly Spotify. As Joaquin wrote, “to remember and to sing, that is her vocation.”
(Except Saturday, Radyo Balintataw airs daily on DZRH 666 Khz AM radio after ‘Gabi ng Lagim’, and live streamed on radio.org.ph. Some episodes have been uploaded on YouTube.)

Hi! After getting help here over the last couple of months, I’ve purchased a couple of Comexim basic half cup padded underwire bras and found the best fitting sizes from them – 26G in the nude version and 28FF in the black version which runs a little smaller.
While they’re definitely fitting mostly well and a massive step up from anything I’ve ever used before, I do feel a bit cramped in them, and I suspect it might be because of the lack of depth at the bottom of the cup. When I scoop everything in and pull the tissue up everything does fit and there’s no tissue wrinkling or spillage, and the customer service representatives at breakout bras when I sent them fitting photos also seem to think it was fitting well so I don’t think it’s a too small cup issue, but I can’t get used to the feeling of pulling my tissue all the way up toward the top of the cup And it feels a bit unnatural. It kind of feels like all of my tissue is being forced upward into a different shape rather than just being supported and firmly cupped.
I’ve suspected I might be fuller on the bottom from the beginning, and the slightly awkward fit of these bras feels like it might be confirming that. I struggled to determine my fullness with just the guides, so I’m wondering if anyone can tell me if this description sounds like I might be on the right track or if there are some other things I can do to test it out. Other bras in my size that might have deeper cups I can try would also be welcomed recommendations. It has been a struggle to find any at all in my size besides this Comexim basic.

Have you ever felt bad about returning an item or felt like you were being too picky?
Today I received 2 items 2 different sellers. (Athletic wear- name brand sports bras) same brand. similar style.
One was in perfect condition. perfect tags. - Left a positive review. end of story.
The second one was listed a "New with Tags" also but arrived with unfixable hanger creases/runs/bites on it in several places (it's made of nylon and it's on the band, seller stated after my contacting them that it was *due to her hanging it upside down* -with a hanger with clips. I guess?)
Would this be considered damage if not fixable? There was also a small stain in the center of the mesh in the front right in the middle and permanent crease/line/pilling on the chest (seen outdoors, brighter light)
*The tag was also changed at some point from a plastic store hang tag (part of it still remained) for silky boutique-type one (I've never seen in any retail store) so not NWT? but replaced. one of the inner tags has also yellowed. -not necessarily by seller-
Normally I rarely return anything (maybe 3 things out of hundreds of purchases from sellers (not large stores)
*I have several of these and only this one has this odd tag, scratches, etc. All the others were shipped the same way (plastic mailer) no issues from various stores ands sellers.
*Seller was not happy, but return was approved.
I've only returned 1 other of this item (retail store) because it had deodorant on it and perfume.
I feel bad (as this is relating to someone's income), but I would honestly have put this back if on a rack in a store, or would've passed by the listing if damaged was noted.
*both seller and I have all or 100% positive feedback
**imperfections were not visible in pictures or noted (color was not an issue)
** I sent seller a message with pictures of the issues before asking for a refund because I want to give people the benefit of the doubt

First, a little about me. I'm 5'5ish, 135ish depending on the day, and have dark brown hair that falls part way down my back with brown eyes. My mom is a Crow (Native American) and my dad is Italian so the olive complexion genes are active in my family. I've got a fairly petite/athletic build with a 32B chest and a toned butt. My nipples are dark brown, on the smaller side, and I shave everywhere. I'm a fan of tattoos and have a feather on my foot, flower pieces on my right hip into my lower ribs, left shoulder, and lower back, a small script piece in my left side bra line, a green carebear in my left bikini line and a large dream catcher down my left ribs. If there's a detail I've left out, feel free to ask ;)
What a week. 18 year old me had gone from a dry spell since AIT and graduation to a blow job, facial, and quick hard sex with a married captain at my first duty station. I was falling fast and hard for him. I wanted him to want me. I wanted him to think of me when he thought of being intimate. I wanted to be his release to do everything she wouldn't.
Dustin snapped me this morning, a pic of his obvious buldge greeting my day. "How's my little Private this morning? I wish you were here to help with this"....You have no idea Dustin. Now that the bandaid has been ripped off, I want nothing more than to keep going. I send him a snap back of my semi sheer, black athletic thong, holding it open in the front with the caption "you could drop your load right in here sir". Naughty I know. For some reason, the thought of him filling my underwear with cum is erotic and in the moment, I crave the feel of his warmth between my legs.
"Come by the house on your lunch break and you can have it" I get in reply. Fuck.
I get dressed in my camo uniform with a generic sports bra and the same black athletic thong underneath and try make it through the morning as routinely as possible. Not possible. All I can think of is what I'm willing to do for the married man I'm lusting for and it's got my mind anywhere but at work.
Dustin let's me know he left early for lunch so he's ready whenever I am. The whole drive over, my mind is racing at the prospect of what's about to happen. I knock and find the door open, with Dustin on the couch, laptop open to some semi sexy photos I'd sent to tease him over the last week while he strokes his firm shaft. "Private Hannah reporting as ordered sir" I say as sexily as I can muster in the spur of the moment.
"Private Hannah, you said you'd found a place to hold my cum" completely keeping character.
"Yes sir" I say, stepping around to stand in front of him, undoing my belt and the buttons on my pants, letting them drop to the floor around my ankles.
"Open up then, I'm already close since you decided to be late"
I hold open the front of my black athletic thong, exposing my shaved pubic area for his inspection.
"At least you remembered to shave to start the week" he says and he builds the pace of his stroking and touches the tip of his penis against my smooth skin. In moments I see him start to swell as he nears his release. A thick rope of white cum erupts from his tip and is followed by a second, third, and fourth. My underwear is filled with his thick, warm release and soon its soaked, mixing with my own minor arousal that has built at the situation. As he finishes, I let go of my waistband and allow my cum soaked thong to cling to my lower lips, teasing me with what could have been.
I pull my pants back up and stand breathless in front of eachother. It's been less than 10 minutes since I walked through the door, we've barely spoken and now his cum is dripping down my inner thigh. What has happened? I feel like an incredibly erotic play thing that's been used for a passing moment of pleasure and right then, I know I'm hooked.
"Hannah, I'm sorry if that was too much" Dustin says, coming to the realization that I'm now back in uniform with his cum filling my panties.
I kiss him square on the lips. "Shhhh babe. I wanted this. I want all of you"
"So you really liked that?"
"Dustin that has got to be one of the hottest things I've ever tried. I'm not changing for work"
I sit on his couch in a pool of his release while we chat for the remainder of our lunch hour. When it's time to go, I feel a glob of him drip down my leg. "Can I come spend the night tonight?" I ask, hoping to get my own release after work.
"Sure hun, I just have a few calls to make but it's okay"
I head back to work with a kiss goodbye and the rest of the day I can feel the stickiness between my legs and it keeps me on edge. I run back to my barracks room, take a fast shower, grab a change of clothes for tomorrow, and something special for tonight. I throw on some gym shorts and a hoodie over my sports bra. Coupled with my slides and I'm back across post and find a note on the door "on a call, be quite when you come in"
I come in and quietly shut the door and make my way past Dustin in the livingroom, obviously on a video chat with someone with the screen facing the wall to the garage. I hear a woman's voice say "oh man those walls are paper thin, I think I just heard the neighbors kids come home from school"
Oh shit, he's on with his wife I realize as I tiptoe my way to the master bedroom where I change into my suprise. Naked in his bedroom, I slip into a teal, sheer lace bra with enough underwire support to give me a little cleavage. I pull on a matching set of panties with an intricate sheer lace front and a single thin string between my cheeks in the back. I fold up my sticky cum soaked thong from earlier and walk back into the livingroom.
Dustin does a double take as I come around the corner. He covers this with a coughing fit as his wife asks if he's okay. "Yeah hun just had an itch in my throat" and they continue chatting, her oblivious to the fact that I've just sat down across from him.
I look him square in the eyes as I begin to tease my dark brown nipples through my sheer lace bra. As he tries to hold a conversation, I do everything I can to lightly tease him. I pinch and massage my breasts, softly run a finger between my legs on top of my lacy bottoms. I stand up and start to stretch, bending forward to let my small breasts hang just out of sight of his camera before turning around and bending forward, reaching back to spread my bum and letting the g-string bury itself between my cheeks, barely keeping my other tight hole from view.
I turn back around and unfold the sticky thong he came in earlier and hold it up for him to see the stain his release left on them, right between the legs. I pull my teal lace thong down in the front, and standing right behind his computer, I begin to lightly tease myself with the soft fabric of the back athletic thong, gently massaging my clit, resoaking the nearly dry panties with another round of sexual arousal.
As my arousal grows, I gradually push into my slick entrance and with one finger and then another, the soft athletic fabric of my underwear once again getting soaked as I rub my clit with them, teasing myself with the over stimulating feel against my raw bundle of nerves. I squat down, my face now right behind the computer screen as I squeeze my breast and open my mouth in a silent moan, performing for the man who can't respond.
All of a sudden I stop, ending my tease at the edge of release, not wanting to slip and give away what's going on...and to tease Dustin further. I stand up, place the arousal and cum soaked black thong on the table right behind his laptop and I walk to the kitchen and begin working on dinner with whatever ingredients I can scrounge up in the kitchen. It's such a turn on to do such a normal task in such a small set of lingerie and I secretly hope that Dustin is sneaking peeks at me from across the house.
At long last I feel warm, strong hands wrap around my waist and a kiss finds my cheek. "How's my baby girl, you little tease?"
I blush at the pet name the gentle touch. "I'm almost done, go sit down you silly boy" I say as I start to plate our dinner of chicken and grilled veggies, sauntering into the dining room like a server at one of those lingerie sports bars.
"So you sure know how to put on a show, Hannah" Dustin says as we begin to eat
"I can be anything you want me to be" I say as I begin a speech I'd thought through in my head, telling Dustin that I don't want casual, I want to be the girl he craves, the one who does the things that no one else does, who let's him try the things he's only imagined I'm his wildest sessions alone with himself.
"What do you get out of all of this?" He asks, questioning this step towards commitment.
"I get to explore myself and act out my cravings without having to deal with all the rumors of barracks and searching for guys to feel safe with. I don't want to be your wife. I just want you to forget her when your with me, and I want you to think of me when you choose how to play"
"Well if you're going to explore, we're going to have to push you out of your comfort zone and actually find new places and things to try"
My heart is racing as fantasies flood through my mind. "What do you have in mind?"
"Just play along with different roles and we'll see what happens baby girl"
Baby girl....is this role number one? Does Dustin think that with our 8 year age gap and my petite frame that we could play out what I think he wants to play? I did just tell him that I want to be the one he thinks of.
"Yes daddy"
"Good Girl"
I. Am. Wet.
"So what did you have in mind for dessert baby girl?"
I stand up, clean up, take Dustin by the hand. "These can end up on the floor too" i say motioning to my sheer lingerie.
"Not yet" he replies, guiding me back to the bedroom.
I find myself once again on Dustin's bed, this time guided into the center, onto my hands and knees. With gentle pressure between my shoulder blades, I drop to my elbows, arching my back and exposing my entrances to open view, my modesty preserved only by the thin g-string buried between my cheeks.
Dustin pulls that to the side, bringing my arousal fully into view. I shudder as a soft, wet tongue traces it's way teasingly between my parted lips, beginning at the bundle of nerves aching in my core and ending in the tight wet hole that's been longing to be filled since I started my teasing back at lunch. I moan a soft sigh of want as Dustin licks me again and again, using his thumbs to spread me open before teasing the inner entrance of my now soaked vagina with his oral stimulation.
After a few breathless minutes of almost over the edge teasing with his tongue, Dustin traces his tongue higher. My eyes go wide and my breath catches in my throat as his tongue glides across my other hole. After a brief pause, he repeats his elongated trail of tongue teasing a second and third time, ending on my bum every time.
I moan "Don't stop, daddy" as his tongue lingers on my hole, swirling around my rear entrance as his calloused fingers reach between my legs to tease my clit. I am so close as his tongue makes headway into my hole which is opening up for him at his constant stimulation.
"I'm going to fill you up baby girl" Dustin leans down and whispers in my ear, his tongue momentarily replaced by his thumb pressing further into my bum, slick with his saliva.
"Please daddy" I moan in reply, eager to keep my promise to do everything his wife won't do.
Dustin pulls away completely and reaches into his wife's nightstand. I see him pull out a bottle of lube and a silver plug with a red jeweled heart on the end, still in its packaging, unopened, unplayed with. I know what's coming and why we're playing this out right now.
Dustin removes the plug from its package and holds it tip first up to my lips. I know what he wants without saying a word. I stick out my tongue and lightly tease the cold metal tip, softly swirling circles around it, further and further down until I bob my head down, taking the whole plug in my mouth and closing my lips around the base. I look up at Dustin, the jeweled heart of the plug between my lips and softly moan in anticipation.
He pulls it out of my mouth and I seductively tease the tip one last time. "Wanna stick it in my ass daddy?" I beg as sexily as possible. After a few seconds of fumbling around with the lube bottle, I feel the cold liquid land on my hole, followed by a finger gently probing my already relaxed entrance. A moment later, the finger is replaced by the cold lubed plug and my breath catches in my throat as I stretch around the plug before closing down tightly on the base. Dustin moves my g-string back into place, covering my soaking wet lips and holding the plug firmly in my butt.
I look back at him pleadingly. I know I teased you hard earlier but if you stop now, this is just cruel. "Daddy please" I say breathlessly, not wanting the stimulation to stop while also acutely aware of the fullness inside my rear.
"Please what?"
"Please fuck me daddy"
"You have two options Hannah. You teased me, so this is a tease for you. You can go to bed, right now, right like this, or you can get your punishment and then a reward like a good girl. Bed or a spanking, your choice"
"Spank me Daddy" I beg without a moment's hesitation
smack the sharp crack of Dustin's hand on my bare cheek takes me by suprise and I clench hard on the plug inside my bum. "Oh fuck daddy" I moan in a mix of pain and pleasure. smack smack smack come three more successive blows, landing on alternating cheeks. I moan almost tearfully as my arousal builds to the point that I'm literally ready to beg for release.
"Daddy please fuck me. Do whatever you want just let me cum please"
A firm tug pulls my g-string down to my knees, still on all fours with my face in the pillows. A hard shaft rubs between my lower lips, finds my eager entrance, and in one firm thrust is buried all the way inside me. I cry out, looking back over my shoulder at Dustin who looks like a man possessed with the overwhelming urge to use me for his pleasure, and in that moment, it's all I want as well.
His firm hands grip my hips and I arch my back, throwing myself back against him to meet his own rapid thrusts. My cheeks clap a faster and faster pace as the overwhelming feeling of being completely filled mixes with the intense pleasure of the moment. I'm red faced and breathless, moaning Dustin's name as he continues in an unrelenting pace, thrusting in and out, in and out. At one point he pulls my face out of the pillows, gripping my long dark hair by my ponytail and commands "You're gonna be a good girl and cum for daddy"
He releases my hair but I remain facing forward, head up and moaning through the moment "Yes daddy, oh my fuuuuuuuuuckkkk" comes from my innocent lips as he simultaneously pulls out the buttplug and buries himself all the way inside me as I can feel him swell and begin to release against my cervix.
"That's right daddy, cum inside my pussy" I beg as he thrusts again and again as my inner walls clench down and my own release spills out of me, uncontained as I find one of the strongest orgasms of my life. His thrusts slow and eventually he pulls out, leaving me leaking cum and lube from both my holes.
He returns with a warm towel and begins to clean me off as I sit up, still in my sheer bra, and kiss him firmly on the lips. "That was incredible, daddy" I whisper, my forehead resting against his as he finishes cleaning my sensitive areas.
"Would you like to rinse off?"
I reply yes and he runs us a sensual warm shower, where nothing but gentle washing and a few lingering kisses happens. He's patient as I take extra time under the soothing water and wraps me in a soft towel when I get out.
As we get dressed into comfy pajama shorts and tshirts, I ask "so was I a good girl, daddy?"
"The best. I think we should stick with this role for awhile if you're into it"
After the time I had tonight, I'm more than willing to play along. We discuss some likes and dislikes and limits (nothing that leaves a mark where I'll have to answer questions about it at work), and reagree that none of this is a thing on the few occasions that his wife visits during her internship. And duh, no telling work, that would fuck us both.
We end the night with gentle pillow talk, and he asks if,for the role, I'd be willing to let him help me get dressed in the mornings, helping me pick out bras and undies from a selection of things I'd actually wear to work. I welcome the increased interaction and dedicated time to talk every morning without a second thought, and I fall asleep with his arm wrapped around me from behind, his strong hand under my tshirt, soothingly placed on my bare stomach, just below my belly button and just teasingly far enough into the area covered by a bikini. I'm in heaven.

This is a loosely connected set of stories that are mostly to enhance the early periods of Empty Continents, specifically right after the Vanishing.

Martha Glasse and Selena Rivi could be considered the last humans of the Space Age.
The two of them were both born in 1999, making them 29 years old in 2028. Martha Glasse was from a suburban German family in Florida, while Selena Rivi was an Italian-Arab whose family migrated to Texas. They both had dreams of becoming an astronaut, so they applied to NASA in late 2024 after getting their degrees in physics and mathematics respectively. The two of them were accepted, and they slowly trained and learned in the Astronaut Corps. They first met in mid-2026, although historians have debated the exact circumstances. Nonetheless, here is the prevailing theory of how their conversation went:
“Have you come to join me?”
Selena Rivi looked back as a new girl had walked to her. She had taken a short break from her training at NASA and decided to relax at a nearby park.
“Oh! I’m so sorry, I didn’t see you sitting here,” Martha Glasse said. “This park is a really nice place.”
“There’s still room, if you want.” Selena moved herself to allow for Martha to sit on the bench.
Martha sat down, noticing Selena’s insignia. “So, you’re part of NASA? Which branch?”
Selena was a bit shy at first. “Well, nothing major. I’m starting training to be an astronaut.”
“Oh, that’s such a big thing!” Martha responded. “I’m training there as well. It seems like I’ll see you around a lot!”
Selena grinned slightly. She looked at the endless fields, with their lone bench as the only man-made object for miles. The scene was complemented by a beautiful sunset, which had turned the sky into a tapestry of winding colors.
Martha turned towards her. “It’s beautiful, isn’t it? All of… this, inside a pale blue dot. Even if we go out into space, I’ll still miss what Earth has to offer.”
Selena nodded. “Oh, I’m running my mouth again!” said Martha. “My apologies.”
“No, no, please continue,” Selena responded. “I love the way you talk.”
Martha smiled. “I’m just wondering… isn’t it wonderful how humanity always continues on? Well, it’s not like we don’t face problems- NASA tried to put a man on the moon by 2025. But when that failed, what did NASA do? They tried again in 2026. I suppose that’s the whole idea behind human nature. No matter how horrible the situation becomes, the spirit of humanity will always continue.”
Soon afterward? Martha and Selena received an exciting message: they would both be selected on a mission to the International Space Station. They would mostly do final preparations to prepare for the de-orbiting of the ISS. By early 2028, they were sent on a SpaceX capsule and docked to the ISS; they were tasked with staying there for a few months. However, the two of them would have to leave far sooner.
On June 7, 2028, the two of them saw the world remake itself. They were shocked and horrified, combined with the loss of all their communications networks for a while. They were essentially a stranded island, hovering hundreds of miles above Earth.
Selena and Martha assumed some sort of apocalyptic event hit Earth- but what was it? They decided to wait it out; perhaps some fragments survived. Their current food and water rations left them with around 12 weeks until they were forced to return. They patiently waited, making sure to stretch all their resources to await some kind of contact. Thankfully, around the third week, they received a message.
Meanwhile, on the surface, the only surviving space agencies were the UK Space Agency and JAXA. The latter had a more robust communications network; they immediately got to work establishing communications with satellites, especially the ISS. Thankfully, a few radio towers in places like Australia and some careful engineering allowed for both the UK and Japanese space agencies to make limited contact with the ISS.
Both the UK and Japan understood that sheer panic and confusion would befall Martha and Selena if they learned about the Vanishing. Thus, they worked together and made sure to never directly say what was happening. They only gave out the instructions for the emergency landing, which was to be conducted over the North Atlantic Ocean.
Martha and Selena looked sadly as they abandoned the ISS and entered their re-entry module. They would be the final residents before its inevitable crash landing. Would humanity ever aspire to build such a thing again?
Miraculously, the re-entry worked well, and the two astronauts were rescued by the Royal Navy, where they learned about the Vanishing. Their reaction was confused, but with a strange hint of optimism as well.
Martha Glasse and Selena Rivi were hailed as international heroes; their rescue was seen as a beacon of hope for survivors of the Vanishing. The British government, especially under Marcus Night, reveled in this attention, and the two astronauts were treated as heroes of a new age.
However, as for Martha and Selena themselves, they swiftly disappeared from public life, living their days near a small farm in northern England. The ISS de-orbited and crashed into the Indian Ocean in late 2028; JAXA and the UK Space Agency were disbanded a few years later.
For now, the final frontier is walled off.

I love music as a hobby and it would be great if I could sing like a medicore. But I sound so awful. Like there is no rhythm and no key and tune. It's awful. My voice doesn't come out like the song AT ALL. If I want to say an example I would probably say that i sound like singing memes. Because of it I'm so shy to sing along when I'm with my friends or sing a little when someone asks me to sing a part of a song so they can remember which one I'm talking about. If there is a song I can nail it it's probably falling down by selena gomez only.

Here is my breakdown of the season in no particular order of what we should prioritise in the summenext season.
This season:
We were ridiculously creative however the forwards were poor across the whole season with the exception of Salah & Jota. Yes Salah had a poor run of form towards the end of the season but for a large part of the season he was on-form and should have had probably 10 more assists.
By contrast Diaz, Nunez & Gakpo were subpar throughout the season although you could make a case for each. Diaz's Dad. Gakpo clearly not suiting CF and Nunez actually having a pretty good season on the pitch and statistically but with composure issues that have cost us.
My summary:
A combination of raw/off form attacking talent and some clear defensive issues that need to be rectified in the summer. Goalscoring, not playing Macca at CDM and how best to utilise Trent are the areas I think need to be addressed.
Next season aeas to address in my opinion are:
Attacking:

1. A plan for Diaz, Gakpo, Nunez - we need to persevere with them. especially Nunez.
2. Nunez - there is a player in there but we need to be less reliant on him until he becomes composed. This may take a couple of years yet still. Every player is different but since the days of 4-3-3 rather than 4-4-2 it seems strikers hit their peak a lot closer to late 20's these days. Albeit I think the reason for this is more experienced players learning positioning rather than finishing. Later down the line, whether he has the technical ability once he loses his pace is a counter argument to persevering with him.
3. Diaz/Gakpo - maybe one needs to be sold to bring in a player who can genuinely get closer to what we lost in Mane (easier said than done). Both good players, I really rate Diaz but are they good enough to be a starting LW & backup LW. Gakpo shouldn't play down the centre in my opinion.
4. Maybe if Gakpo is sold there is an opportunity there to bring in a more experienced CF/ST to help when Jota inevitably gets injured for half the season. Nunez can rotate on the left and up top to cause problems. Although based on age/value/rumours it's more likely to be Diaz sold.

Defensive Midfield:

1. Clear drop off when Endo doesn't play and we can't be reliant on Bajectic yet. Maybe we should bring in a more prime age CDM around 25/26. Endo & Bajectic can rotate and by the end of Endo's contract Baj will be in a better position to be the backup CDM.
2. Obviously if we can get a younger CDM that is completely ready then we should go for it.

Defence:

1. The Trent conundrum is perhaps the biggest issue to fix this summer. We arguably have too many midfielders right now and I can't exactly say I would want one of our current midfielder sold which I feel would need to happen if Trent moved into permanent midfield. Unfortunately/fortunately Edwards would likely be ruthless with this if it did happen but can't say I want any of the current lot gone. Gravenberch looks like he could really grow and I don't even want to think about selling Elliot/Jones.
2. If Trent inverts we need to be playing a 3 at the back in possession IMO. Gomez slotting in as the left sided CB as an example. None of this Trent going into CDM or even further forward and also having Robertson/Gomez bombing forward like fullbacks or wing backs of the last 5 years.
3. Ideally we need a CDM that can drop back into RB and cover that position rather than Trent. That allows Trent to not have to worry about defensive duties as much and having someone purely focused on covering Trent's defensive deficiencies would allow him to thrive more. I truly believe this is what our plan with Caicedo was to be honest.
4. Trent not dropping back into RB would then be a great outlet for our defensive players to pass to once possession has been won and then he has the ability to look up and make the killer counter attacking pass.
5. Only draw back to this is Trent far from a Rodri, Fernandinho, Palinha, Fabinho style CDM capable of breaking counters. If our CDM is focused on dropping back to cover RB then Trent doesn't have the ability to break down the counter like the style of CDM's we should want.
6. Or we stick with the current system of Trent inverting from RB. Play a more 3 at the back system in possession which should provide more cover when we're countered and a new CDM to hopefully be that difference maker defensively.

TW: Implication of alcoholism by the end
Scene: Outside the school walls. Xavier walks over the meadow to some of the seats where some of the friends, Wednesday included are sitting. Suddenly, Morticia appears by his side.
Morticia: My dear.
Xavier: (looking at her surprised) Oh…
Gomez: (steps up next to him as well, smiling) We didn’t get a chance to talk last time.
Morticia: It’s Xavier, right? Or Exavier?
Xavier: (blows out air) Whichever you prefer.
They chuckle a little.
Xavier: (smiles) Both is quite alright.
They smile and walk on with him. Morticia takes his arm meanwhile.
Gomez: You’ve been keeping our little stormcloud company very well, we’ve heard?
Xavier: Yes… (smirks) … I do. Still do, very much so.
Morticia: (looks at him for a moment, smiling, but a tad of somberness sneaks in) A lot of people do not bother to keep going with us like this.
Xavier: (smiles, shrugs) I guess that’s just what I do.
Gomez: (looks at him for a long moment as well, then smiles and pats his shoulder) Must be your blood. Your father always took pride in his family’s insistence to never back down from a fight.
Xavier: (sighs a little) He still does that as well.
Morticia: I remember his prowess in fencing. Not many could hold their ground against him – I heard you also fence?
Xavier: (nods) But my main thing is art, to be honest. I rather do sports on the side.
Gomez: I’ve seen some of your work. (puts a hand on his back) Very kahlo, lovely.
Xavier: (chuckles, but only shortly) She is a great inspirator for me, it's true.
Morticia: It’s much like her work, save for the blood and skeletons.
Xavier: (chuckles a little) That’s reserved for my nightmare collection.
Morticia and Gomez: (very intrigued) Oh?
They keep talking and chuckling as they walk slower. Wednesday watches them closely, with an expression hard to read. Eugene comes stomping over, without his moms, and flops down on the bench between her and Bianca.
Wednesday: (not turning to him) Have your moms left already?
Eugene: (coldly) Maybe. I’m not talking to them any more today, so there’s that.
Bianca: (looks at him)
Eugene: (looking at his phone, coldly) It’s nice to get a say in something, right?
Bianca: Right.
Eugene: (cools down a little) How was it with you guys?
Bianca: (sighs) Don’t ask. I hope my mom doesn’t try to make any more conversation today as well.
Eugene looks at her, then presses her hand.
Wednesday: We had a talk with the principal. He decided to skip my late-night maraudering because he knew they’d love it, and left it at that I’m starting to have a bad influence on all of you.
Bianca and Eugene chuckle
Wednesday: Well, isn’t it true?
Bianca: It’s awfully nice of him.
They exchange a smirk. Even Eugene smiles a little again. Ajax comes running over.
Ajax: Have you guys seen Enid?
Bianca: She went back to the castle a while ago, but I haven’t seen her since.
Ajax: (sighs, sits down and fetches his phone)
Xavier, Morticia and Gomez reach their group, still chatting cheerfully.
Xavier: (to Wednesday) Hey.
Wednesday: I see you’ve met my parents.
Xavier: Well met, I’d say.
Gomez: Oh, I’d say so too, dear boy.
Morticia: He really has the charm of his family.
Wednesday: (furrows her brows) Really?
Xavier rolls his eyes, but before he can say anything, Mrs. Sinclair arrives.
Esther: (to the group) Have you kids seen Enid? She ran out on us.
Wednesday: Already? Well done.
They exchange a glare.
Esther: Well (she looks around) I can’t expect your help, now can I?
Ajax looks down, so do Eugene and Xavier, but Bianca returns her glare.
Esther: You could at least check her Instagram. I'm sure she's posting about this day already. (sighs) (to Morticia and Gomez) Kids these days.
The group tenses up.
Morticia: (staying friendly) Now Essi, perhaps she just needs time to cool off.
Esther sighs, waves away and walks off, past the other bodyguard Barnes from the Thorpe entourage who is coming over with an elderly man in a suit using a walking stick.
Xavier: (notices them) (happily) Davis!
Barnes: (rolls his eyes) Just Davis indeed.
Xavier: (chuckles and hugs him) Sorry Barnes.
Barnes: (chuckles and pats his back) How are you, skinny. Ah, there’s that backbone that I like.
Xavier: (chuckles, then turns to Davis, who hugs him with one arm while holding onto his stick)
Davis: Dear boy.
Xavier helps him to sit down on at the table.
Xavier: How’s your rib?
Davis: Much better. I was well enough to drive, but finding a parking spot was a pain on it’s own.
Xavier: (chuckles, but then gets serious) All registers to get me back on track, right?
Davis: (sighs) So it would seem. I’d tell you what to do, but … you already know.
Xavier: (nods, then presses Davis’ hand, who smiles)
Morticia: Davis. Do you remember us?
Davis: (looks at the Addams spouses) I’m quite sure I can’t recall every single time I went to bed in a once more squeaky clean house cursing both your family names.
Gomez: Pity. I remember the spider outbreak of 1990 very fondly.
Morticia: Oh, it was.
Davis: (shakes his head) And it seems this family doesn’t have quite enough of that yet.
Xavier: (rolls his eyes, wants to say something, but freezes, looking over Davis’ shoulder)
Vincent enters the meadow with Ced by his side, walking towards them. Around him, people turn and stare, some looking away quickly. Everyone seems a tad intimidated. Wednesday looks on, then turns to her parents – and freezes herself. Their expressions have dropped. Both of them look at Vincent with a mix of gloom and fear. He smiles at them, stopping before their group. Barnes goes to stand next to him again.
Vincent: The spouses Addams. How long has it been.
Gomez: (monotonely, but staying composed) Six years, Vini.
Vincent: Well, we haven’t changed a bit, right?
Morticia: (smiling, but coldly) Certainly not.
Gomez: We thought you never attend parent day.
Vincent: (shrugs) Urgent family business called for it. Some PR adjustments, if you will.
Xavier frowns, looking down. Vincent smiles at the two of them still, but before he can say anything more, Ced catches something behind the back of his neck. Vincent ducks, and Barnes flinches. Ced is holding a pearl. Vincent shakes his head a little, amused, while Morticia cringes. Gabrielle peeks out next to Barnes, smirking at him.
Vincent: I thought I told you not to startle my bodyguards.
Gabrielle: I’m quite sure I can’t recall.
He smiles, and she leans over to exchange a brief kiss on the cheek.
Vincent: My dear old school friend I will one day shed tears over publicly.
Gabrielle: I know you will. So … also here on family business? (she looks at her daughter) Some teenagers to reel in?
Vincent: One, and that’s one too much.
Gabrielle: (chuckles) Have kids, they said.
Xavier and Bianca look down, frowning.
Vincent: Meanwhile, I was going to have a talk with his friends. (checks his watch) Scheduled for now.
Bianca: (glaring at him) We told him to stay at school.
Vincent: (smiles a little at her, but his expression changes when speaking to her) Oh?
Bianca: Of course. (in the background, the Addams spouses observe this exchange with interest)
Eugene: We don’t condone this Xavier. Erm… behaviour.
Vincent: (chuckles) Neither do I kid, you have no idea.
Xavier: (shaking with rage) Are you done?
Vincent: Not exactly. I do want to speak to your friends. (he looks at Bianca, who returns his look. Then turns away) Mr. Ottinger.
Eugene: (looks up again, startled) Me?
Vincent: Have a walk with me. I’d like for you to tell me something about yourself. Ced, you come with us.
Ced: Yes, sir.
Eugene: (a little nervous, gets up slowly and follows him as he walks away)
Wednesday turns and watches them walk away.
Xavier: (sighs) Of course.
Wednesday: What? What does this mean?
Xavier: He’ll offer him an apprenticeship. My father is interested in people with special powers.
Wednesday looks on, then at her parents – they give her a warning look. She turns back, observing once more. Morticia however, manages to smile again.
Morticia: (to Bianca) My dear.
Bianca: Me?
Morticia: I heard you head the fencing club currently. Would you like to visit the old gym with me? It’s been so long.
Bianca: (stares at her for a long moment) Sure.
They leave together. Wednesday looks on after them.
Cut to Lucas working at Weathervane. Sheriff Galpin walks in – slower than he used to. He stops at the counter and orders a black coffee. Lucas prepares it, looking at him concerned. Galpin thanks him quietly, then sits at the corner table. Lucas serves the next customer, then, after a moment of thinking, gets himself a coffee and sits down with him. They exchange a somber look. Galpin reaches into his pocket – then looks back up at Lucas, deciding not to add anything to his coffee. They sit in silence for a moment.
Galpin: It’s all my fault. Everything.
Lucas: (looks at him)
Galpin: What do you say to that?
Lucas: I don’t know.
They’re silent for another moment.
Lucas: Maybe … it’s not fair that you blame yourself more than the people who actually did something.
Galpin: (looks at him)
Lucas: She doesn’t feel bad about it.
Galpin: There’s still more I could have done, kid.
Lucas: So could I.
Galpin: Huh?
Lucas: I did things in my life I’m not proud of. Nobody forced me to, but I did. Can’t undo those, so – I’m looking ahead.
Galpin: (smiles) You have a lot to become happy about still. Not me.
Lucas: Not so sure.
Galpin: (looks at him) I am.
Lucas: (looks at him)
Galpin: If it helps, I … I want that for you. Really do.
Lucas: (smiles)
Galpin: (sighs, looks out the window) I don’t know where to start, kid. Even … even saying it’s my fault was hard.
Lucas: (shrugs) It’s a start. Talking helped me with that.
Galpin: (looks out the window still, seeing cars pass by heading for Nevermore – then looks at Lucas) What’s your favourite coffee?
Lucas: What? Erm … I guess the … the moccachino with walnut syrup? It’s nice.
Galpin: (searches his pocket and fetches a 10 dollar bill) Here. (he hands it to him) Keep the change. Get yourself one of those, and …
Lucas: (looks at him, surprised)
Galpin: … and then tell me stuff. Whatever you like.
They exchange another somber, but gentle look – then Lucas smiles.
Lucas: Alright.
He goes to prepare his coffee.
Galpin: Thank you, Lukes.
Lucas: (stills for a moment, then smiles again) You’re welcome.

I have three siblings, one passed away which makes me the oldest daughter. My parents have always been an awful match but my mother doesn't want us to grow up without a father so she keeps him around us(My two siblings and I). The issue is that my father has anger issues and he always has. I recall watching a scene from a Hulk movie where his parents always argued and one day one of them killed the other. I'd always imagined this happening with my parents too. My dad abused my mother during her first pregnancy and continued these abusive tendencies throughout my life. Most of the things I remember are faint but throughout my childhood things were broken, the police were called, restraining orders were filed and birthdays were ruined. My father is an unstable person all around and I didn't realize this for a while because he worked out of town so whenever we saw him, he acted like Disneyland-dad.
I have always been insecure and during puberty I hated myself because I hated the way my body had been changing. There was one instance when I'd begun wearing bras and my mother bought me a new shirt. I liked the shirt but when I put it on my dad made a comment. My mother is dumb and this comment was very clearly about the way my chest had grown. He had said 'That shirt really makes your...eyes stand out.' It sounds more predatory now that I write it out. Little comments like these fueled my insecurity and made me begin to punch myself in the head. It was the only way I could think of taking my anger out. I didn't want to be like my dad and hurt other people, so I took it out on myself. I was around 8 years old then.
By the time I was in 6th grade, I barely felt like I belonged and I was figuring things out. Independence was something I wanted. This year, covid had hit and so we were locked inside. My father did not live with us due to a restraining order. My younger brother is my father's favorite child therefore this turned him into even more of an asshole. He became angry and emotional but then he began to be kinder and he stopped caring about the fact that he was gone. Life was honestly not bad. I believe we occasionally saw him and everything was fine.
Then he moved in with us again. He took over the living room as his own personal office which led me to sit in my bed all day. I wish I enjoyed being around him but I don't. I dislike being in my bed all day but I do and as my mother puts it I 'marinate' in my bed.
I speak very little of my mother but she also has some negativity about her. My mother refuses to put me on any sort of medication or to let me talk to a counselor because she doesn't want me to be taken away. The problem I see with this is if she thinks I'd get taken away, what Is stopping her from taking me and my siblings out of this situation.
She makes a lot of comments that fuel my insecurity. She is blunt and honest which is a good quality, sometimes.
Now, the whole point of this post isn't to go into my past, it is to talk about my future. I don't see one and I haven't for a while. My parents hold me and only me to high standards. My father even stated himself that the reason why he puts so much pressure on me and not my siblings is because he doesn't think they are capable.
I am a sophomore in high school. I have played soccer my whole life and it is something I've loved but I noticed that it has caused me to struggle in school. I don't want to go to community college but at this rate, I think that's the only thing I will be able to get into. I've been injured many, many times from sports and my parents haven't believed me the majority of the time. My father screamed at me over the summer when I told him I couldn't run because my shins were killing me. I even told him about how I'd been cutting myself and he told me he knew and that I had to still do the running. I just couldn't. Turns out they were fractured. Anywho. I have been doing well in school now that I am out of sports. I am passing all my classes with A's and B's and I think one C. I am proud of myself but this is not good enough. I am honest with my parents about these things but my father lectured me for an hour about how all I do is sit in my room.
I am on my way to junior year and I want to stop playing soccer. This has been a fear of mine for a very long time because It is my source of exercise and eating is a big struggle. So at this point in my life, I have an unbalanced and unhealthy eating style, I am depressed, I have anxiety and suicidal ideation. I don't believe that mental illness is the only reason why my life is the way that it is. I can't blame everything on that but It's sometimes hard not to. Anyways. I would like to get a job my junior year. At my school, junior year is the hardest year due to the advanced program that I am in. I fear I will fail. I already have to retake one or two classes in order to graduate but I can't retake a whole year. The fact that I want to quit soccer angers my parents. They believe I can do it all. I play for the JV soccer team and I basically have no summer because of soccer. The head coach is training us all as varsity players therefore I basically have no life. I want to get a job and I want to graduate college. I don't want to play soccer to only be on varsity my senior year. It would be a waste of my high school life. I don't want to spend it all being sad the whole time. I want to try and get a job to help with my anxiety and also to make money. I want a lot of things but my parents approval is what is stopping me. I was recently reported for suicidal ideation and once my parents found out I was yelled at.
I can't keep doing this. With soccer I see no future. I am not bad, I just don't feel passionate for it anymore. It is too time consuming.
I just want someone to let me know if what I want is irrational. I need someone who isn't biased to help me because I know my parents won't. I don't think I will win against them but I just want to know if anyone has comments about their experience in high school sports and managing school work.
Thank you.

I swear to god this is some sort of sick joke on EA's part. This game is unplayable!
I'm on PS4 and the delay is unbelievable. Dribbling is no longer viable. It feels as if the game itself is trying to sync itself with my commands in real time, resulting in stuff like players running too ahead of the ball when they should be receiving a pass, or the numerous heavy touches. Opponents crowd around you to force heavy touches, something which is an inevitability in this gameplay. To top it all off, no one can score! Timed finishing is made harder because of the delay, but so is directing where the ball is gonna go. As a result, I just lost to a griddying kid with gold Joe Gomez at the back.
Joke of a game. Joke of a company.

With Ncuti's new series now begun, I wanted to take the opportunity to look back on the previous eras of the show. A common opinion for the Chibnall era is that there was a lot of unrealised potential, plenty of interesting ideas/concepts but not always fully developed.
I think most of the ingredients were there, and all it needed to massively improve the whole era was to swap around certain elements - i.e. without radically changing anything. Just swapping certain episodes and characters around would have given more meaningful arcs, storylines and character development. And after watching the 60th, I think some of the same criticism applies to some extent.
I will make a separate post for each series from S11 to the 60th, going into detail of how I think each episode could have been adapted.

SERIES 11: https://www.reddit.com/gallifrey/comments/1cmmric/series_11_reworking_1314s_era/

Series 12:

Characters & Arcs - Yaz would join as a full-time companion from Spyfall, after being introduced for the first time in Resolution. Series 12 would have a subtle arc around mental health, exploring both Yaz's background and the Doctor's own trauma following the various revelations across the series, as she is forced to stop running away from her past. As the only main companion in this series, generally there would be more space to explore Yaz individually as a character, for example her views on morality and justice as a police officer, her relationships with her family etc, plus some earlier hints at her feelings towards the Doctor.
The Master - Instead of Dhawan's incarnation, Missy would stay on as the Master for 13's era. The whole Timeless Child arc would perhaps fit better in connection with Missy's redemption arc in S10, rather than having a new incarnation? A more conflicted side to the Master would have been more logical here, rather than reverting back to pure evil so quickly. Missy sitill feels some sense of friendship towards the Doctor, but at the same time can't handle the fact that her existence is somehow a result of the Doctor.
Festive Specials & Captain Jack - To fully explore the plot of Revolution of the Doctor, alongside the Doctor's time in prison, and the return of Captain Jack, this story would be split into two parts . The first part (named 'Revelations of the Doctor') would have 13 in prison for the full episode, and Yaz on Earth stuggling to deal with the Dalek plot in her absence. I always thought bringing Jack back in 13's era was a perfect chance for the Doctor to properly confide in someone and process everything, since Jack had lost two years of his memories (removed by the Time Agency, an organisation not dissimilar to Division), and since would have had time to process that trauma. And therefore also giving a bit more purpose to his character returning.
Ep1-2: Spyfall
The Doctor is called in by MI6, and insists that Yaz comes along too (as a police officer). They start to investigate together, and 13 calls an agent she knows to help. This character would be played by Michelle Gomez, but with a disguise making her unrecognisable (a bit like Mr Razor in S10), as well as different accent - revealing herself as Missy on the plane at the end of Part 1.
Yaz spends Part 2 on the run alone - I think this would give an interesting start to a companion's run, having to fend for herself before actually knowing much about the Doctor or the Tardis. This would also start to explore Yaz's police background, as she initially tries to follow her training and protocols, but is forced to go against everything she has been taught to escape Missy and Daniel Barton. At the end of Spyfall, the Doctor invites Yaz to travel with her.
Ep3: Demons of the Punjab
Another quicker start to a new companion - for her first trip in the Tardis, Yaz requests to go back in time to see her Grandmother, leading to the storyline at the partition of India.
This episode would also play a bigger role in 13 and Yaz's arc later on. There were lots of fan theories that Power of the Doctor would be foreshadowed by Demons of the Punjab, so I would make this the reality later on, using Yaz's Grandmother to tease Yaz's own departure from the show, as well as the Thijarians later returning to honour 13 as she regenerates.
Ep4: Arachnids in the UK
Yaz returns home after the emotional previous episode, and the Doctor meets her family in the present day.
With Missy staying on as the Master, I would instead have Sacha Dhawan play an alternative villain, replacing Jack Robertson's role. He would be first introduced in the S11 finale, but not actually meet the Doctor until this episode.
Ep5: Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror
This episode would see the return of the Paternoster gang - who I think would have been one of the better options of characters to bring back during the Chibnall era, and this episode would fit best in terms of time setting (as well as the detail of the Silurian blaster). Strax's confusion over gender could also have fitted with having a female Doctor. Yaz and Vastra could also work well together, as a police officier and a detective.
I would also use the plot around the Skithra to subtly foreshadow S12's finale. Just as the Skithra steal technology that isn't theirs for their own advantage, the Time Lords similarly took advantage of the Timeless Child's genetics.
Ep6: Fugitive of the Judoon
No major changes, other than Yaz being the only companion. Could further explore Yaz's police background in comparison with the Judoon.
Ep7: Can You Hear Me?
Graham would return in this episode (a bit like Martha in S4) - at the start we would see how he adjusted back to life on Earth without Grace, starting to form a closer relationship with Ryan. Graham calls the Doctor after having nightmares, and they go on to investigate. Graham later confides in 13 about his cancer fears, but an extra scene is added. After Graham leaves, 13 from the future re-materialises and tells Graham what she wanted to say to reassure him. A bit like in S1, when The Doctor comes back to tell Rose that he can also travel in Time. 13 could also gift Graham the psychic paper at this point.
Alongside Graham's storyline, we would also see Yaz's mental health struggles in the past. Later episodes could flash back to this scene, where Yaz takes inspiration from the other police officer, wanting to make a difference to someone else (maybe the Doctor)?
Ep8: The Haunting of Villa Diodati
No major changes - though could give a more direct hint at Yaz's feelings towards the Doctor (when she talks about her 'enigmatic person').
Ep9: Ascension of the Cybermen
As the only companion, Yaz plays a greater role as she has to command the other survivors in the Cyber ship.
Ep10: The Timeless Children
Missy returns to tell the Doctor about the Timeless Child. I would suggest to have less narration for these scenes, and instead add dialogue to the flashbacks of Tecteun and the child.
Also with Missy staying on as the Master, the creation of the CyberMasters (made from the Timeless Child's genetics) would kind of go full circle from the army of Cybermen that Missy presented to 12 when she was first introduced.
Revelations of the Doctor
Part one to the festive special, exploring how 13 spent her time in prison processing the Timeless Child revelations. Feature the Judoon more, and have some of the other prisoners as side characters. Some of the scenes of 13 alone in her prison cell could be more like Heaven Sent? The episode would end on the cliffhanger of Jack appearing in the prison to break the Doctor out.
Simultaneously we switch back to Yaz back on Earth. She has been sleeping in the extra Tardis, and her family eventually track her down there, and Yaz starts to share where she has been recently (travelling in the Tardis). Sacha Dhawan's character is back, using the "defence drones" to make a deal with the new prime minister. Yaz and her family (including her mother, who he previously employed at the hotel), try to confront him, but are unsuccessful.
Revolution of the Daleks
Part 2 then picks up with 13 and Jack teleporting into the Tardis, and then reuniting with Yaz again, who informs them of the Dalek plot. Much of the rest of the episode would remain unchanged, but with some additional scenes to further explore the Dalek's invasion before they are defeated. The lack of Ryan and Graham would also give more time with Jack's character. The scene with 13 and Ryan on the Tardis steps would be replaced with Jack, as 13 confides in him about the Timeless Child, knowing that Jack also had lost some memories. And also making Jack's exit at the end less abrupt.

With Ncuti's new series now begun, I wanted to take the opportunity to look back on the previous eras of the show. A common opinion for the Chibnall era is that there was a lot of unrealised potential, plenty of interesting ideas/concepts but not always fully developed.

Strax's confusion over gender could also have fitted with having a female Doctor. Yaz and Vastra could also work well together, as a police officier and a detective.
I would also use the plot around the Skithra to subtly foreshadow S12's finale. Just as the Skithra steal technology that isn't theirs for their own advantage, the Time Lords similarly took advantage of the Timeless Child's genetics.
Ep6: Fugitive of the Judoon
No major changes, other than Yaz being the only companion. Could further explore Yaz's police background in comparison with the Judoon.
Ep7: Can You Hear Me?
Graham would return in this episode (a bit like Martha in S4) - at the start we would see how he adjusted back to life on Earth without Grace, starting to form a closer relationship with Ryan. Graham calls the Doctor after having nightmares, and they go on to investigate. Graham later confides in 13 about his cancer fears, but an extra scene is added. After Graham leaves, 13 from the future re-materialises and tells Graham what she wanted to say to reassure him. A bit like in S1, when The Doctor comes back to tell Rose that he can also travel in Time. 13 could also gift Graham the psychic paper at this point.
Alongside Graham's storyline, we would also see Yaz's mental health struggles in the past. Later episodes could flash back to this scene, where Yaz takes inspiration from the other police officer, wanting to make a difference to someone else (maybe the Doctor)?
Ep8: The Haunting of Villa Diodati
No major changes - though could give a more direct hint at Yaz's feelings towards the Doctor (when she talks about her 'enigmatic person').
Ep9: Ascension of the Cybermen
As the only companion, Yaz plays a greater role as she has to command the other survivors in the Cyber ship.
Ep10: The Timeless Children
Missy returns to tell the Doctor about the Timeless Child. I would suggest to have less narration for these scenes, and instead add dialogue to the flashbacks of Tecteun and the child.
Also with Missy staying on as the Master, the creation of the CyberMasters (made from the Timeless Child's genetics) would kind of go full circle from the army of Cybermen that Missy presented to 12 when she was first introduced.
Revelations of the Doctor
Part one to the festive special, exploring how 13 spent her time in prison processing the Timeless Child revelations. Feature the Judoon more, and have some of the other prisoners as side characters. Some of the scenes of 13 alone in her prison cell could be more like Heaven Sent? The episode would end on the cliffhanger of Jack appearing in the prison to break the Doctor out.
Simultaneously we switch back to Yaz back on Earth. She has been sleeping in the extra Tardis, and her family eventually track her down there, and Yaz starts to share where she has been recently (travelling in the Tardis). Sacha Dhawan's character is back, using the "defence drones" to make a deal with the new prime minister. Yaz and her family (including her mother, who he previously employed at the hotel), try to confront him, but are unsuccessful.
Revolution of the Daleks
Part 2 then picks up with 13 and Jack teleporting into the Tardis, and then reuniting with Yaz again, who informs them of the Dalek plot. Much of the rest of the episode would remain unchanged, but with some additional scenes to further explore the Dalek's invasion before they are defeated. The lack of Ryan and Graham would also give more time with Jack's character. The scene with 13 and Ryan on the Tardis steps would be replaced with Jack, as 13 confides in him about the Timeless Child, knowing that Jack also had lost some memories. And also making Jack's exit at the end less abrupt.

Sharing my experience in case it reflects anyone else’s: I am almost 12 weeks po and I definitely have ended up bigger than right after surgery. For me, I do not think it was a matter of swelling. Mine have slowly and consistently been getting a little bigger (no ups and downs). I am definitely now a D or DD in many bras (I know they are all sized differently- there are some more generic bras where a C works for me). I was aiming for C and actually if I’d done more research ahead of time I would have asked for a B or very small C instead of just C. I’m fitting better into clothes/bras but am just not overall as small as I was expecting. My surgeon said I was pretty much my final size at my 8 week appt and all healed (inside and out). Looking at my before/after pics I can see a huge difference since my boobs had really drooped before thanks to pregnancies, breastfeeding and age (they were not always like that!). The lift is wonderful and makes a big difference. Being able to go braless (at home - wouldn’t do it in public) is fantastic. Just wish the ladies themselves were smaller, especially for running, and to feel like the cost of this was completely worth it. I still am glad I did it but don’t love that I have not been able to stop obsessing over my size. I just thought I’d end up a small boob girl but I am still a big boob girl. I am trying to work on this from a mental perspective because admittedly there is some dysmorphia and body image issues at play (don’t we all have that at least a bit?). And I really want to let go of the worry that they will just continue to grow. Anyway so that’s me! Anyone else?

This is my first post here, most likely won't be posting much but this sub has helped me with lots of tips the weeks before surgery, but also made me scared of things that I really didn't have to be so I want to make a positive post to show you that yes you can do this and do well on the first 10 days.
Just for the reference I'm over 40 and had the surgery done because of a shoulde back problem, went from a DD to maybe a C, doctor said wouldn't take much more than that and although some days were tough I look back now and think that went by really fast. Another thing, I went to school for Nutrition so I tried to keep a very good diet pre and post op, I'm already getting out of the track but first week I did great LOL
So here's what worked for me:
Increase your protein intake before and after surgery. I don't really like to eat meat/ chicken every day but I've been doing just because I have to, also eating other kinds of protein.
High fiber diet and lots of water (and walk) - from the beginning I knew I didn't want to take stool softeners or laxatives and because of that I ate lots of salad, fresh fruits (stay away from apples), multigrain bread, ActiviA yogurt, probiotic juice, lots of liquids and I was walking since 1DPO, all started to work on 2DPO and by the 3rd day I was going to the bathroom normally. Also: this is pretty good, cook some dry apricots in water and eat, works better than prunes.
Things that I bought and used:
Couldn't shower for 48h so these rinse free bathing wipes worked amazing to keep me clean. I have to add a note here that I was very scared of showering, after the first shower (seating on a little stool, don't buy a shower chair, just use any little stool with a towel on the seat) I didn't shower for 2 days because I was way too scared and mostly because I was scared to look at my stitches and because I read horror stories here. With prayers and a good pep talk I took a shower all by myself after 2 days.

I bought a mastectomy pillow just because I have 2 dogs and one of them loves to jump on me otherwise I wouldn't have bought

I used lots of pillow to sleep and worked fine, don't waste your money buying those pregnancy pillows, each day you're going to want a pillow in a different place.
These pads are the best to use inside your bra, you will have some drainage and these work perfectly

That leads to bras, what an ordeal. The bra I came from the surgery was some medical bra that is exactly the Carole Martin on Amazon (thanks for someone who wrote about it on this sub), I got an extra one but was horrible, digging on my armpits. That fruit of the loom that everyone raves about it also had the same problem for me, not mention the elastic on top of my incisions. This one is the best bra, it runs big so I have now 2 sizes. For reference Im a 42 on Carole Martin and I'm a L on this bra (bought an XL which works but it's a big too big), doctor said I could use and change my bra no problem
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQLXQJS2?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Yesterday a friend who is a RN told me that I could use cortisone cream + AD cream or DESITIN cream on top because most likely the pain on my armpits was because the bra was chaffing my armpits, now Im also using a chaffing gel and things are improving.
And here's the most important tip I'm going to give you, have people with you, tell friends and family that you are having a surgery, it's good to have people praying/ cheering on you, checking on you, bringing you food (although I said many times we didn't need cause I filled my freezer with meals), this part is the most important, makes you feel loved and cherished. You just went/ going through a major surgery and the first few days it's almost impossible to do something by yourself. Having someone helping you out and taking care of you makes a world of difference.
On the 4DPO I went to get my hair washed at the salon, it was great getting out the house, seeing people and being pampered a little bit. Made me feel special and pretty, believe me you will feel very yucky after hospital and surgery. Now I shower and my husband washes my hair, still hurts a lot put my arms up.
My last tip is rubbing alcohol helped clean the sticky from the EKG leads (the sticky pads for monitoring your heart during surgery) on my skin chest, it took a couple of days to realize I had that.
I hope and pray that you (whoever reads this post) have a great surgery and recovery, that you feel very proud of yourself for doing something so brave like this and that you feel pretty confident on yourself before and after the surgery.

Hello all:) I am 19 yr old college student and a now former 44H (US size). I had long, full, and sagging heavy breast along with large areolas for as long as I can remember. I have wanted a breast reduction for a few years, which I mentioned to my primary physician every year during my yearly checkups size around 16 yrs old. She finally send the referral out last November after a few more reminders. I went to my consultation in January, got measured, and a few weeks later I got the call that my insurance would cover everything. During the consultation, my surgeon told me that I would need to get a free nipple graft because of the measurements. I was told I would have no feeling of my nipples and I would lose the ability to breastfeed in the future, but for me, the benefits outweighed the cons. I have hyperpigmentation under my breasts and on my underboob from where the skin rubbed together, deep dents in my shoulders, back pain, etc. My main reasons for getting the surgery were to be able to do more exercises as it is hard to run with large breasts, to help alleviate pain, to be able to wear button up blouses, to be able to wear bras from places other than Lane Bryant, and the list goes on.
I got my surgery date scheduled for May 17th (yesterday). My nurse woke me up after surgery and I was groggy because of the anesthesia. I looked down and I was able to see my stomach for the first time which was a shocker to me and an encouragement to lose weight. My doctor came in and the first thing I asked him was how much he removed and he said he sent it in to be weighed so he didn’t know yet but it was a lot. He said he was not worried about the weight but just wanted to make sure he produced great results. I could already tell that my breasts were much smaller and about the size of my hands which I was very pleased with. My guess is that I am a C or D cup now as I will not know for sure until 2-3 months out. I left wrapped in gauze and large ace bandages which gave me compression.
The biggest shock for me was that I was hardly in any pain in my breasts, it was just difficult to get around. Later, I got nauseous even with scopolamine patch and ended up vomiting when I went home. Today (1DPO) I am in very little pain, just some discomfort where I can feel the stitches. I will be able to see them for the first time tomorrow when I change my bandages, I have no drains in. I will also take a shallow bath tomorrow because I absolutely cannot get my nipples wet because of the grafts which are held in place by tape.
P.S. - I am willing to answer questions and any post-op/recovery advice would be greatly appreciated! I do not own any surgical bras yet as I was told I won’t need them until after I get my stitches removed and I’m not sure where to get them or what size to get. I’m also a black woman so I would like any advice on taking care of scars.

Hey all, I recently used Sauna and liked it so much, that I now want to have one in my basement.
I watched some videos and I think it's not too difficult to build one myself. But due to time constraints, in terms of designing and building one, I am looking for the ready to assemble kits as well.
With these 2 approaches, either build one completely or get a kit and install it in the limited space in the basement (mainly height 175 cm), I have a couple of questions:

1. The YouTube videos I saw are adding a lot of insulation and also the heat radiating silver sheets. And these ready to install kits are just wood with no insulation. Is it really worth the efforts vs the cost saving it will provide in the long run?
   
2. Has anyone used any similar kit like this one:
   

https://www.karibu-saunen.de/woodgarden-38-mm-massiv-sauna-selena
Is it easy to trim these from the top/ bottom to build it with the reduced height that I have available in the basement?

1. Occasionally we get some water in the basement about 1 - 2 cm in height and it gets pumped out by the sump pump that is already installed in the basement. What should I use below the Sauna to avoid wood touching the water?

Comments: Get ready for a bumpy ride of alleged half-truths, mistruths, and more... 😲

1. Fig Tree Cafe: Kylea announces after a friendly, kind, and uplifting breakfast experience, she and her sister are "heading to mark something off of my bucket list that had been on my bucket list for a very long time! Whale watching!"

⏸️ This post was edited to remove all references to whales. Kylea's food was not described (just shown), WW points were not listed, and there was no proof her sister was there.

1. Whale Watching Closed in May: "Unfortunately the whale watching that we were supposed to do today is closed through the month of May. It's okay though, we will still make the best of today! There is still so much to do and see! 💖"

⚠️ I feel the following interactions display victim mentality:
Follower: "Isn't the whale watching the reason you took this trip?"
Kylea: "yes. But what good will it do for me to sit and be sad about something I can't change." She quickly followed up with this, "the app. I got the tour through, I didn't read that it wasn't open for May. It is what it is. There isn't anything I can change about it."
Follower: "Is there another whale watching company you can try I know there's several in San Diego"
Kylea: "We will see but I already paid for the pass that included the whale watching and it's not refundable."
⏸️ Kylea displays signs of CBD, aka shopping addiction. There were MANY options open 05/16 for whale watching at various price points. If she can spend thousands on cruises, buy a $610 est. hot tub for her momma, $600+ est on puppy accessories... why won't she pay for her "bucket list" whale watching experience? 🤔

1. No Running H20: Kylea claims there was no running water at her Airbnb starting Wed. night. They bought H20 at the gas station to brush their teeth this morning. "I am the kind of person that does choose to focus on the positives." She closes with this, "God is still good and we will find other fun things to do while we are here.💖"

⏸️ The All- Inclusive Go City Pass for San Diego lists 58 possible attractions. Each option lists important details. There are plenty of options for Kylea and her sister to enjoy.
Followers voiced concern about her H20 issue. Kylea's story changed from issues at an Airbnb to a hotel, but her accommodations didn't change. 🤔 There are PLENTY of accommodations available in San Diego.
Please ignore all previous mocking, blocking, and doxxing behaviors, clap backs, "someone said" posts, she's "addressing this one time" posts, etc. since she wants you to believe she focuses on the positives...

1. "It is what it is." This is on her pink sweatshirt and her motto today. She took a trolley to Old Town and is seeking her next cup of coffee. "Life is beautiful if you focus on all the things going right instead of what isn't. 💖"

⏸️ People in the real world have real problems, bigger than bottled H20 to brush their teeth with on another vacation and misreading a travel app. Kylea monetizes a frivolous lifestyle, and these posts are tone deaf.

1. Coyote Cafe in Old Town: Kylea consumed another salsa covered grilled chicken salad. There is no proof her sister is there.

⏸️ Somehow, Kylea's lactose intolerance paused on this trip, and she is enjoying Vanilla Muscle Milk. Previously, she could only consume Premier Protein due to tummy issues. 💔 Recently, Froot Loops SixStar shakes made the cut. Why experiment while on vacation?

1. Monetizing Grams Again: Kylea's right hand is shown in front of a flowering bush. "I love both of these rings so much. The butterfly ring for all of the growth I've had in life since 2021 and Grams birthstone as a reminder that she's always with me.💖 🦋"

⏸️ Kylea will not wear her wedding ring. When asked what color her nail polish was (in honor of Grams), Kylea did not know. When asked for a link to the ring (Kendra Scott brand) in honor of Grams, she did not know. "I thought it was the Elise but it's not 💔" When a follower describes jewelry she wears from/for her living children, Kylea replies, "I'm so sorry for your loss 💔." 😲 This is your job, Kylea Gomez.

1. Thankful to be able to walk: There were 2 vastly different versions of this post. Here is one version: "I explored Balboa Park in San Diego and walked all the way back to my airbnb. I'm thankful for the rest of my life that I can walk and do so many things that I couldn't do prior to July 5th of 2021.👟 💖"

Kylea is pushing this walking narrative hard right now and on her recent Mexican cruise excursion. She worked full-time in healthcare in 2021, traveled frequently, and led a productive life. She was not couch or bed bound by any means.
Why are there no people in the pictures of these popular tourist attractions? Why do the photos look like post cards or stock photos with no credit given to the photographesource? 🤔

1. Sunburn: "I got a little bit of sun today." Her face is bright pink.

Follower: "Hope you wear sunscreen."
Kylea: "did but I also did a lot of walking.💖"
⏸️ Then reapply your sunscreen? I'm not following her logic...

1. "Joe" posted he is proud of Kylea: "I'm proud of my wife for everything she has accomplished over the last few years and I know that this is just the beginning. I can't wait to see how God uses her to continue inspiring others. She inspires me every day because she is willing to chase all of her dreams."

⏸️ "Joe" posts these speeches when Kylea is traveling, facing increased criticism from followers or on Reddit. Do you believe it is Joe posting under Kylea's account with Kylea's name? 🤔
Sure, Kylea lost a significant amount of weight. How many people has she potentially/actually harmed on the way to her current social media status? What temporary or permanent damage has occurred to those mimicking her Disordered Eating? What would happen if she disclosed how she earns her social media income and the payout per month?
In the almost 6 weeks I have provided these daily recaps, Kylea has not attended a church service or Bible study, discussed the Bible, or shared a prayer. Sure, she references God and Jesus, but...
✝️ To Kylea and Joe: If you both stand firm in your faith, you should confess everything to Kylea's followers and let them decide whether to support you both or not.
Takeout: Fig Tree Cafe Breakfast for Kylea= $18 est + tip; *Possible breakfast for sister (higher est. due to sister's diverse palate and menu prices)= $20 est + tip; Coyote Cafe Lunch for Kylea= $15 est + tip; *Possible lunch for sister= $15 est + tip; Muscle Milk & Quest Bar= $7 est;
Shopping/Travel Expenses: Unknown Accommodations= $120 est + fees; Airport Parking (up to 50% off with prebook) = $16 est;
