So, (aside from sexism, of course), is there any reason only women do uneven bars and balance beam, while men get parallel bars and the other equipment? #doodle #cryptid #gymnastics https://www.instagram.com/p/C9-E3tqsYzg/?igsh=dHZ6dWhnZjVtNmZi
Edit – found this out –
Looks like center of gravity issues and some other build differences
Via elsewhere-
Take Parallel Bars: women are wider at the hips than shoulders *as compared to men.* This causes issues with parallel bars – in order for a woman to to PB, many would need to set them wider than would be optimal.
This is why when women started using the “parallel” bars, they set them asymmetrically – one higher than the other, and developed an entirely different skill set as compared to traditional PB.
Over time, these “asymmetrical parallel bars” got wider until they actually created a new set of equipment that has morphed into the modern day uneven bars.
I had a lovely outing yesterday with Max the Mermaid. I was quite exhausted at the end and am still feeling it today. We traveled to the Ablenarle Baking Co., Sycamore Station, and a few other places along the way. We have a few places to visit on the agenda today, but I’m not sure my body is up to it. Playing it gently on the heating pad for now, we’ll see how it goes. #doodle #cryptid #roanokeva #nexusofallrealities https://www.instagram.com/p/C98BxwOxArY/?igsh=dWU3anBldWE5bHhk
Restarted physical therapy today—one day a week on land and one other day a week in the pool! Looking forward to getting back on track. #cryptid #doodle #physicaltherapy https://www.instagram.com/p/C93nD1mNeTW/?igsh=MWpoMjF0eGcyOXJzMw==
Apparently, the patisserie in my old stomping grounds is closed, due to…. SABOTAGE! It can mean only one thing….

Some cool weirdness up the road from @misfitbeautyclub , spanky’s gorilla in a wrestling outfit, a t-rex head and arms, and a hippo eating a lady mannikin.

Day 20,261
Haircut went very well (better than the “just a little off the top” rhat I could doodle, certainly) made a standing appointment for every 8 weeks to keep myself spiffy and clean looking.
Many thanks to @misfitbeautyclub for a lovely experience, with delightful results!

Getting my leaves trimmed tomorrow via @misfitbeautyclub ! Michaela has already done an amazing job on both @maximillian_deersteak and @almsvats , and is incredibly accommodating to my needs as someone who needs a mask and some other disability parameters met. I may or may not get color, but I am looking forward to a long-overdue cleanup.
I doodled her as a clown because she had some amazing clown earrings on when I picked up Max after the last appointment. She seems like a kind and cool critter, based on the limited talk and feedback from the gang, too!

Adopted these two alien kitties ( Nirvana and Marie ) last time we visited the @blueridgeindiemarket and the @kittycitycatcafe . Hard to resist these guys, and Pearl wants to make them into her personal toys. I met the adoptable Nirvana that same day, and it is true. He really does give super hugs. I believe Marie was adopted before we got there, but these tokens are pretty awesome. Kudos to the artist who sewed them and made hand-written profile cards and adoption certificates.
