So ive been on pointe for about 10 months now, and i've been dancing on the same shoe for about 9½ of those months. That shoe is now dead. I went to the fitter and they said the wings of my shoe had completely detached from the shank, or that area. I tried on maybe 3 pairs before landing on my new shoe, vertisse's dahlia shoe. I really loved my old shoes, they made my feet look pretty, and just felt good, so i tried on my old shoe, and then tried on one ¼ of an inch wider or something. The fitter sent me to a diffrence location and the fitter at the second location made me try on 3 diffrent vertisse shoes. The first one i couldn't even get on, the second i couldnt feel the floor, and the third is the one we ended uo purchasing. They looked and felt good in the store, but once i put them on in pointe class, they hurt more than my dead shoes and i felt like i was sinking in brand-new shoes. The box was also really soft and i was going over the box. Does anyone have any advise as to what i could do? I can't afford a new pair of shoes, and i've already tried jet gluing.

The reason? I have bracelets that say my name and non binary. I also have a non binary, leabian, and rainbow kandi cuffs. I usually hide them, but i took a nap today and accidentally left them on the couch. My mom asked about them and asked if they were mine, and what they meant. I said that some were for a friend, but i don't think she bought it. My parents arent homophobic or transphobic or anything, but I'm still figuring myself out . I dont know what to do.

Genuinely, how does this subreddit work when gen beta starts at 2025? My gen beta neice (born 2025) cant even talk yet! The oldest gen beta is 1 year and 7 months old

So mcr is coming to San Antonio in September, and I REALLY wanna go. I'm worried if I will be too young. I wouldn't go alone, I would go with my mom or (hopefully) my amazing cousin (whos 19). My apologies if thsi question has been asked before.

I'm non-binary, and questioning right now. But i feel like non-binary people shouldnt have to use the lesbian flag or the gay man pride flag because theres not another option. If you only like women, there should be a flag for non-binary people that solely like women, so that we dont have to use the lesbian pride flag.

This episode really reminded me how bad racism is right now. I also think that Athena is in the wrong for defending the cops that wrongfully pulled a gun out on a family. And this isnt a new problem either. My family is mexican and before I was born, in like the early 2000s, my parents got pulled over for no valid reason. Tell me your thoughts please.

I just learned my first variation en pointe yesterday! It hurt a lot, and had a lot of bourres (it was the prayer variation from copellia). Im curious to hear your story!

I've only been en pointe for a couple of months, (since the end of october), and my shoes are still hard. All my friends shoes are rly soft, amd theyre all on their 2nd pair of shoes. I asked my teacher if i should get new ones, because i didnt know if they were dead or not (since theyre my 1st pair). She said they were still hard, but to consider getting fit for a new pair. She said that she didnt want me to go to the summer intensive that i am going to and have to dance on dead shoes. But idk if i should hold off on getting a new paid because idk for how long these shoes will last, or if my feet will grow.

I love the paranormal, and I want to hear your experiences. Whether it's UFO sighting (not wemby 👽), ghosts, or anything similar, i want to hear it. Don't hesitate to add any stories passed down from generation to generation!

Thought I ran into you on commerce street Then it turned out to only be a dream I made a point to go honking after the spurs won last night Wemby went away, and then spurs took a different path I remember the face, but I can't recall the full name Now I wonder how Whatshisname has been Seems that he disappeared without a trace Did he ever get traded ol' Whatshisface? I made a point to honking after the spurs won last night Wemby went away, and then spurs took a different path I remember the face, but I can't recall the full name Now I wonder how Whathisname has been Remember, whatever It seems like forever ago Remember, whatever It seems like forever ago (Remember) the regrets (Whatever) are useless in my mind (It seems like forever ago) he's in my head, I must confess (Remember) the regrets (Whatever) are useless in my mind (It seems like forever ago) he's in my head, so long ago Go, go, go, go Go, go, go, go, go And in the darkest night If my memory serves me right I'll never turn back time Forgetting you, but not the time we won the western conference semi-finals

For me, it's "work sucks, I know" from all the small things

I've played the cello for 2 years, and I am getting bored of it. When I first started with my cello, I knew that I would eventually transition to bass, I just wanted to learn how to read bass clef. I just got fitted for a bass, and I found out that the strings are diffrent. Any tips on how to get used to bass and how to put my cello skills to good use on my bass?
