six weeks ago i cried so much my feet changed shape and ever since then my one pair of shoes hasn't fit properly. i've been too lazy to buy new shoes and cobbling my own shoes is out of the question. this is a metaphor for everything else in my life rn too

oh, that's fascinating! the part of the emotional release that actually changed my feet was reconnecting to my sexuality, and specifically to sexuality as being for making babies! seems related to the thing you wrote on fb about menstrual pain and feelings about pregnancy
every time i connected more to this sexuality -> babies thing it released a bunch of tension in my sacrum but also in two lines going down the backs of my legs to the outer sides of my feet. i just kept releasing that tension for hours

> sexuality -> babies that's so effin wild. seems relatedish to

yeah! really changed my perspective. now it seems like the standard liberal casual attitude towards sex as being for pleasure is super weirdly disconnected from the way sex _produces new humans in the world_

I’d love to hear more about how you did the release too! I want to be doing more stuff like that, I think.

Apparently women's feet getting bigger during pregnancy is caused by changes set off by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxin ; and in men, relaxin is produced by the prostrate and makes sperm more capable of fertilizing egg cells. Hmm. (h/t
@DiamonDie for noting the connection) -
So I was aware of relaxin, but I had originally assumed the changes in feet during pregnancy were fairly narrowly about foot muscles. Now, I’m wondering if the foot thing is almost always downstream of the sacrum stuff. Seems simple to check in theory, but I doubt anyone has!
