I am obsessed with this.
So because parkour is such a ridiculously male dominated sport, the "correct technique" for a lot of these movements that you're taught when you become an instructor plays to a male body's strengths: upper body strength, higher center of gravity, etc.
She demolishes this course by moving in ways that make sense for her body. She doesn't muscle her way up to her over a wall, she just throws a leg up over the wall. She doesn't use upper body strength to do the salmon ladder, she uses her hips!!! And it's fucking incredible.
So many girls and young women walk away from parkour because every movement caters to the strengths of men, because doing what makes sense for their bodies is seen as "bad technique" to be trained away.
If pre-transition me had seen this I would have cried tears of joy.

Has anyone already reblogged this with saris? It’s cool how many cultures have similarities like this hidden in plain sight.
Since we are here might as well share the dhoti and the lungi

It’s only men in the photos but really anyone can wear them. I am wearing a lungi right now.
I also know Thailand and Sri Lanka have their versions of a lungi as well.
THE COMPLETE MONA LISA
Few people know that the commonly known Mona Lisa (Actually entitled La Gioconda by Leonardo da Vinci) is only part of the full painting. The lower half is seldom unveiled as it’s considered to be of lesser quality than the top of the painting, and possibly unfinished by the artist.
But the Louvre today unveiled the lower half for a new exhibition taking place until this summer. Said Louvre Curator Lou V’Curador, “The Mona Lisa, as it’s known, is more than people think. Leonardo was ahead of his time and this threatened art critics of his era so he kept the lower portion hidden and until now, we at the Louvre have respected this concept. But we felt the time was right to showcase the full work.”
V’Curador went on to explain that many modern art aficionados would be upset by the unveiling, and that it would hurt some of their feelings. But V’Curador explained, it was important to the art world as a whole, and everyone knew- He had to do it to ‘em.

Please refer to him by his proper title, Louvre Curator Lou V’Curador.
You might say he was born for the job
Louis Donatien Alphonse François V’Curador was born in 1977 in a village near Lyon. From an early age he expressed an interest in art. Even at age four he poured over books by Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo. He always favored the classics, eschewing anything newer than early impressionists.
He began to work at the Louvre in the 90s as a preservation coordinator, under former curator Ancien Conservateur. Ancien did not make sweeping changes in policy nor function. All who knew her said she preserved a good status quo, treated everyone well, and upheld the balance between the four major departments of the Louvre:
Paintings, Sculptures, Instillations, and Preservation. Under Conservateur’s leadership, the four departments lived together in harmony. But everything changed when the Painting department expanded into the north wing and annexed budgetary concerns from the other departments. Only Conservateur, master of all four departments, could stop them, but when the Louvre needed her most, she vanished.
Time passed and the Louvre elected a new curator, Louis “Lou” V’Curador. And although his departmental interbudgetary planning skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he’s ready to reorganize the spending policy register. But I believe Lou V’Curador can save the museum:

@fjetspad Skipping random consonants is literally the sole defining feature of the French language, or as it’s called in America, “Le Fonch Len-gwajjj.” I should know, I studied it for 5 entire minutes of The Little Mermaid’s runtime.
My ideal street layout, wide sidewalk, wide bike lanes, and a 2 lane road that only allows streetcars on it. Yes I know this a bad drawing, I made it in a hurry
Are those (black circles w/ small things) supposed to be eg cafe chairs?
If so, they’re posing an accessibility issue due to blocking the sidewalks. Recommend your street layout allow for outdoor seating without blocking sidewalks.
Agreed. The foundation is sound, but there needs to be plenty of space to walk by seating without getting run over by a bike. Seating that hugs the walls of the nearby structure, and open storefronts that let people and services flow seamlessly between the commercial spaces and the sidewalks would be an improvement here.
I actually shrunk the seating to make there be more space for pedestrians
If the tracked area is for trams/streetcars only, may I recommend that you make it green track?
Not only does it add much needed greenery to public spaces, but it also reduces heat at street level, reduces the running noise of trams and dramatically improves water drainage at street level. It even goes as far as reducing the damage to the tracks caused by the material expanding and buckling in high heat by simply keeping the rails cooler and better displacing heat.
It doesn't even have to be grass! Different species of plant, local species or hardier, low-maintenance species can be used, and furthermore, it tends to reduce maintenance costs of the tracks, as soil is easier to dig up than concrete or tarmac, and so the tracks can be accessed and worked on easier.
Obviously, if you want the street to be able to accept buses along with trams/streetcars, or other rubber-tyred vehicles, then a hard surface is necessary, but if it's light rail only, then green track gets my vote.
Already made the edit, I hope you enjoy the green tracks and their flowers. This image is very green
Redoing the color of the bike path to make the street less fucking green
I love the idea of green tracks, but in this case they are not a good choice:
You still need the possibility for rubber based vehicles like Fire Cars or Ambulances to pass the streets.
You can't just put them on tracks because they need to be as mobile as possible to allow maximum efficency.
Okay removing the grass due to firecodes
Urbanism pride flag lol
we still need green so maybe put flowerpots in the middle of the sidewalk? Like rectangular ones that only take up maybe a fifth of the sidewalk width, and their intermittent, maybe one between every other set of trees.
The street planters have come in
Honestly if you want some good green space you should consider bioswales between the bike facilities and the "street", which would help replace some of the lost drainage/filtration function from de-greening the track
The bios have been swaled
ALT@puddlebrigade Okay the tables have been moved and reduced to be more accessible and some planters have been moved
ALTThe large dark green dots are trees
Is it too soon for this?
Yes, you aren’t even on the current version
Sidewalk seems a little tight tbh
Sidewalk widened. Goal achieved
ALT@i-use-oxford-comma The benches have been added and @prawnhubpremium The dragon is opening a shop

even funnier is how it fucking highlights the next line in the paragraph
Large concrete Soviet apartment buildings are a type of girl
This is kind of true actually. In Russian we reffer to different types of apartment buildings by the surname of whoever was in power in USSR at the time, the 3 main types are: ‘Stalinka’, ‘Khruschevka’ and ‘Brezhnevka’, the styles are distinct enough from each other to the point that you could easily distinguish them at a glance if you know what to look for. But the main thing is that ’-ka’ is a feminine ending in Russian which means that all soviet apartment buildings are, in fact, girls.
This is the best thing I’ve read all day
this is what i mean when i say girl is a suffix to fetishistic men
they will add it to anything in order to picture whatever fantasy they want about women, whether is a cute anime girl soviet building, or some strong big busted dommy soviet building
