After news broke Wednesday that five of the biggest banks in the nation were still “too big to fail,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren is once again sounding the alarm about the scourge on our system. In a Facebook post, Warren called out those who have tried to deflect the blame and pointed to a new "giant, flashing" warning sign.”
I don’t think this counts as dancing. Or even skipping really. It’s more of an exagerated waddle
So. Let me tell you about the day I took this video. It was the 1 year anniversary of my open heart surgery. It’s about a year old, and I’d say it’s pretty safe to say I’ve improved since then. In case you don’t agree, let’s take a look at some more at my exaggerated waddling.
Waddle.
Waddle waddle.
*rolls across the floor*
Clearly I am immobilized by my own mass.
Oh wait… that’s not it, is it? It sort of seems like the opposite. Almost as though the ability to dance is based on strength, effort and passion and not on being skinny. Strange concept I know, let’s see if you can wrap your tiny little mind around it.
not to mention she wasnt waddling at all.. That was clearly a jete, chasse, and assemble.. not waddling. ballet…
Yo. Professional ballerina speaking here.
Clearly she is performing a saute arabesque, chasse, step-step, assemble devant with arms in fifth.
And as a teacher too, I can’t find much technically wrong with it at all.
Which means not only is she a gifted dancer, she has a wonderful technical foundation that she is executing properly and with lovely mannerism.
Being a ballerina isn’t about how much you weigh. Give me this girl ANY day for a student or dancer to work with. Clearly she has the knowledge and the passion, which means she will be a joy to work with.
Also, for those of you criticizing, you clearly have NO idea how difficult it is to execute a develope ecarte derriere the way she is at the barre in one of her later photos. This takes YEARS of dedicated training, as well as extensive natural facility, such as turnout, which she clearly demonstrates here.
So maybe before you peons thinking you’re masters of ballet judge dancers based on weight, you should actually learn about ballet and technique. Because if you had, you’d recognize that this girl clearly has technique—unlike your basic asses.

2. Our best chance to defeat shit like HB2 is in the courts. To do that, you need more liberal judges. To get them, you need a Democrat in the White House.
Hi! This is Ava Jarvis. I’m in a rough state and need a little help/validation. Someone I know just emailed me: “You know, if the depression in your life is so bad, maybe you should consider suicide? It’s a valid solution just like any other.” They say they respect my decision if I choose to commit suicide, and that maybe I should stop fighting the urge. I’m pretty sure they’re wrong and I should block them. Indeed, I have blocked them, but I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing.
The first time I wanted to die badly enough to do something about it, I was nine years old. I would have missed my entire adult life. The last time I wanted to die badly enough to do something about it, I was thirty-eighty years old, and the fact that I’d had twenty-nine years depression didn’t want me to have didn’t matter nearly as much as the thought that I could fix everything with a single slice.
Depression lies.
You are a story no one else can tell: you are a miracle. Those things sound trite, but “trite” doesn’t mean “untrue.“ Someday, you’re going to die, and the world will be less for your absence, and no matter what may come next, you won’t be able to do anything else here. No more sentences, no more sodas, no more Saturdays. And those things are so important, and you are so important.
The person who told you to consider suicide sounds like they could use some help themselves, and I hope that they can get it. I hope you can find whatever help you need. I hope you can stay. Please stay. The world is better for having you in it.
Please talk to someone who is closer than I am, who can be physically there for you, and please stay.
