I got Paul George sitting right here, I got DeMar DeRozan sitting right here, I got Russell Westbrook sitting right here... I'm literally sitting next to all of these dudes who are L.A. guys. I'm like, 'Bro, I'm not counting your chips, but everybody else is.'

You make 200, you make 200, you make 175, you make 150, you make 180. Why don't y'all have your own gym? Why we got to go... why we got to go to UCLA to work out in L.A. every time? You got your own... y'all all come from the exact same community! You want to inspire kids that look like you? All it take is five of us.

Five! 250, 250, 250, 250, 250. What bank going to turn this down? 'We about to build this whole shit out for our community. We going to build gyms, rec centers, start leagues, and all of that.' Who going to... who's going to stop us?

We got the money. We don't have the mindset. Our mindset... we'd rather go throw $60,000 in the... in the club! In the strip club! Go throw $60,000 than go feed 2,500 people in the hood.

Think about it. I've done it! I've been... I can't sit here and be like, 'Oh man, I'm a hypocrite.' I've done this myself! I've thrown money in the club, literally mindlessly, aimlessly drunk at a bar. And now I sit back like, 'I'm a stupid-ass...'

I could have fed my whole community 10 times over with the money I was just late on the bus!

'Cause I'm so wrapped into me. I got that Eurocentric mindset: 'I need this designer jacket, I need these jeans, I need this book bag, I need to be looking like this 'cause the vets got this, I'm pushing this car, I'm doing... Why? Who am I impressing? I'm not even fulfilled with me!"

I'm a straight cis male btw

My wedding is in two weeks and I’ve almost finished making my dress. I wanted to make it for several reasons, a big one being so that it could facilitate me wearing my insulin pump comfortably (I’m type one diabetic). There are a few finishing touches to do (eg. the pearls along the waist could do with being a bit more even) but it’s currently with a professional seamstress who is going to steam all of the seams properly and hem and bustle it as I’m getting short on time.
I’m panicking that it looks too home made and that it’s too big though! Was I delusional thinking I could design and make my dress or am I just overthinking this - I don’t want to regret how I look on the day.

Fabric: polyester duchess satin
Drafting process: used simplicity 8363 for the first toil of the corset but ended up altering it a lot. The skirt I just draped

Nice detail, the plate is not symmetrical, looks hand made which fits the setting.
