look: it's been what? two months since bridget dropped in strive, and I've been reading a lot of very interesting discourse about transness, identity and representation, which has gotten me to think, and I think I landed on something that is worth sharing, which is that one of the essential factors you must understand when throwing a yoyo, no matter the type of throw, it applies to the front style throw, the breakaway, the forward pass and even the horizontal stuff, is that the yoyo is essentially rolling off of your hand, and as such it is critical to remember that you should put your basic slipknot around the middle knuckle of your middle finger to ensure maximal balance and control, and you need to make sure that the string goes over the yoyo, rather than under, which is how you ensure maximal speed, which gives you the balance necessary to achieve the more complex tricks
