Hi, fellow fan of fandoms or fangirling, how I like to refer to it. Bikes will Banish Cars and vegan potluck block parties xMas. What else you got? Any other questions? Have you done TaskMaster yet? Cheerio 🦓🎩

Yes, if you have talent beyond all other humans in your field. That kind of self love looks ridiculous in mediocre men who are currently trying to rule our country. Cant think of any woman who does this off the top of my head

It explains the wife of my former BIL

That’s true love, something coming from deep within and emanating.

I heard the rip when you sat down. (Sorry, it's still early. I can do better.)

of course & more power to all the oppressed & those degraded.....but it also expresses the attitude of too many of the already privileged....here's hoping that our Golden Age of Narcissism will give way to a new age of empathy & compassion some day.... maybe 1000s of years from now?

My uncle drove up to see Ali when he was training in rural PA once, Ali invited him for coffee and hung out for like an hour

Unless you are named trump.

Thanks!

I have thoughts.

You're very welcome!

that doesn't fly re trump...

After that show, he really never opened for another act again. I think the racist subtext of that reception also informed why he took the approach he did to his performance and choices at the Super Bowl www.anildash.com/2021/02/05/h...

that one is legendary amongst the fandom! I even mentioned it in my piece on how Purple Rain was created www.anildash.com/2014/07/25/i...

I think the key is to not love yourself exclusively.

Narcissists are fueled by deep-seated insecurity... They only appear to love themselves as compensation for feelings of inadequacy and self-loathing. Which is why it only works on about a quarter of people

Just not on the bus ok guys 😂 no for real tho, human psychology retain 10 negative impressions for every one. If you are expressing negativity towards yourself that is what others pick up on and resonate with. The inverse might be true I’d have to stop biting people to test it.not sure it’s worth it

You always be the villain in somebody's story.

Touché

Sounds like a certain Mr Trump...

I'd add Dolly Parton, Fred Rogers, and Bob Ross to this list as well.

From Minneapolis and continue to be a fan of Prince since his concerts at 1st Avenue! He's still with us!

What reads as self-love is often just refusal to dilute identity

And if you have all-time legendary talent, what a nice bonus!

This only works for men.

Brilliant. I am now a fan.

And @chucktingle.bsky.social is another example

Iffff you have insane talent to go with it.

Also he was the boxer formerly known as Cassius Clay.

I thought the song "The Greatest Love of All" was obnoxiously egotistical, then I learned was written about Muhammad Ali, and I thought, "Oh, okay then, carry on."

from what i’ve heard.. Prince could put. it. down. between the sheets. I think when you know you’re a fuckmaster things change about any other part of your self doubt. Need a lift? Go make someone see God in an orgasm. His songs are like audio sex. I have opinions

I add Tupac, and K.Dot to that list Marcus Garvey also tried to teach us self- love, John Henrik Clark, Ivan Ver Sertima, and countless more, tried to get us to see it starts with the self- love, because all the other self-healing energies follow, self- worth, self- dignity all of them. Great post

I think it helps when you’re a genius or the greatest in your field.. it’s acceptable. But without the talent all that self love just looks like arrogance and narcissism.

He doesn’t love himself though. He wouldn’t be so hateful if he did.

Those weren’t doodles - that was field reporting

Makes me think of Bowie, as well ❤️
