Have any of you noticed more and more of these Flock/security cameras going up around the Imperial Valley lately? There’s a newer one next to the canal behind Walmart in Calexico.

Why are we just accepting this?

Meanwhile, businesses are struggling, parks and local community spaces get less funding, and city officials keep approving more surveillance projects. In Calexico, especially, they recently reallocated around $200,000 toward additional security cameras rather than putting that money into parks, recreation, or other measures that actually improve the quality of life.

At what point do people start questioning how much surveillance is too much?

I’m also curious why younger generations here seem so disconnected from local politics and city decisions. We complain about corruption and the state of the city, but very few people actually get involved, attend meetings, or push back.

I’m 33 and had a realization recently that honestly kind of shocked me.

I’ve been insecure about my boobs almost my whole life. They’re smaller, saggy, and my nipples point downward.

​In my head I always treated this like some horrible flaw, but then I realized something: I actually don’t spend my day personally hating them. What scares me is someone else seeing them and reacting badly.

I realized most of my fear comes from the possibility of humiliation, rejection, or seeing disappointment on someone’s face. Especially because growing up, my stepdad used to make comments about my mom’s chest. She had smaller saggy boobs too and was deeply insecure about them. She eventually got implants, but I personally don’t want surgery or implants for myself.

And weirdly enough, when I look at my body now, I don’t actually think my boobs are “wrong.” They look natural. Honestly, they even look like boobs made for actually holding a baby comfortably someday, not just existing for aesthetics. It made me wonder how many of my insecurities are truly mine vs things I absorbed from society, media, comments from men, etc.

So I wanted to ask other women with naturally saggy boobs, especially smaller ones with downward nipples: Have you become comfortable with them over time?

Has anyone ever actually been cruel to you about them in real life? Did dating make the insecurity worse or better?

I think I’m trying to unlearn the idea that breasts only look acceptable if they sit perfectly upright forever.
