Prom 2k14 with my girlfriend 😘 the best moment of the night was when a lesbian caterer came up to us and said “Seeing you two made my night. 10 years ago people like us wouldn’t be allowed to go together. Thank you” A memory that will last forever 💕

No better time than time spent with my girls.

I saw a post a few days ago that inspired this, but I couldn’t find it again so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyways, daily reminder to love your body and boop your body dimples/cellulite dimples while you’re at it.

NGC 972

Just under 50 million light years from Earth, this spiral galaxy in the constellation of Aries appears as if it’s on fire, and in many respects, it is, with star birth.

The huge amount of gas and dust that is creating this starburst may have come from a recent merger with a gas rich dwarf galaxy, which would also explain the lack of definition of spiral arms.

Worked upper body today. I MISS MY MUSCLES 😭😭😭

I need heavier weights because what I have just isn’t cutting it.

Also, check out how cute my workout buddy is. She’s here for the gainz yo!!💪🏼

ANGELA + CHARLA: BRINGING TOGETHER TWO TRIBES (via ELIXHER)

Charla Harlow, 32, and Angela Harlow-Rothschild, 34, got hitched at the Weeksville Heritage Center in Brooklyn’s historic Weeksville neighborhood, one of the first free black communities in the U.S. They were married on May 28, 2016 on the grounds where some of the original homes built by the free black residents of Weeksville still remain.

Binding Damage

I bound my breasts almost full time for around 2 years before I had my mastectomy. As a result, my lung capacity is reduced and the muscles around my ribcage are still much less strong than they were before I began binding, even though it has been over a year now since I have worn a binder or even a bra. I even bound ‘safely’ using an Underworks compression vest in the correct size, never with ace bandages or any other methods. I still can’t take a full, deep breath like I used to. 

Does anyone have any tricks to regaining lung capacity and strengthening the rib/chest/abdominal muscles after binding? I’m not sure how to increase lung capacity itself or how to exercise the particular muscles that have been effected but I’d like to regain some strength if possible.
