I mean your whole job is to be looked at, and your instantly forgotten as soon as your considered “ugly”
billie eilish once said, “If tear drops could be bottled, þered be swimming pools filled by models”
Look at you, single handily trying to bring back the thorn character.
Listen guy, þere are dozens of us. DOZENS!
I’m a bit of a þorn addict actually
I wouldn’t complain if we brought back þe thorn.
Can we bring back ash too then. I know it’s not really as distinct but Jesus something about the way that it looks just makes my brain happy.
I keep forgetting to use þorn. I was looking at þorn the oþer day, and þought, “if I bought more þorn, and þought about þorn, þen þinking þat þought puts þat pat þing þrough þorough boroughs!”
I’m getting more comments about þorn þan þe actual post lol
Furry þorn is best, change my mind.
furry thorn?
“þ” looks like p imo, so “þorn” = “porn”
Yes, nothing is permanent.
but like þeir whole job is to be stared at and objectified
So? I whore my brain out to some rich idiot to make him more money, and I’m thrown away as soon as I’m not useful. How is that different?
Probably worse than modelling; they can spend more time at work daydreaming, or plotting revenge etc.
I think that the job itself could be pretty fun. Not for me, of course, but for someone who enjoys it. I do see your point though.
What is the name of that character symbol?
þ
It looks like the Star Trek TNG episode “Masks” symbol that Data (as an old man sitting by a fire called it “masaka’s temple”…
A line, as the unending horizon. A curve as the rolling hillside. A point as a distant bird. A ray as the rising sun.It’s called “thorn,” and it makes roughly the same sound as English’s “th.” (to my knowledge at least. I’m pretty sure “th” is associated with two slightly different phonemes, one voiced and one unvoiced I think, idk tho, English is stupid)
Yes, unvoiced “th” (think, thread, worth, thought) is more equivalent to þ whereas voiced “th” (that, then, worthy, though) is more equivalent to ð.
English is a Germanic language that got French shoved into it while stealing a little Norse. It was introduced to the printing press / movable type in the middle of a major vowel shift, and instead of adapting those tools to the language, major players at the time squeezed the language into an alphabet type that was already available from the continent.
You might as well consider voiced and unvoiced “th” one phoneme in English, there’s like 1 or 2 pairs or words that actually depend on the distinction
It really depends on what you make of it. I only say this as someone who’s done a little bit for my side gig, but I have friends who do it more professionally.
Mainstream modeling is as soul sucking as you can imagine, but other forms of modeling have more leeway. The fun in it is coming up with looks, poses, and ideas. Posing like a mannequin for a JCPenney catalog sounds miserable. A lot of people I know who do nude modeling really seem to legitimately enjoy it.
To give an example, the shoots I’ve done have involved snakes, beds of nails, and other fun things like that. Also contrary to belief, anyone can model.

No one forced them to be models. A lot of them are attention whores and terrible people.
