I like travelling, take me on a journey.

Speaking of different body shapes. These are all basically peak human bodies. 

How come 99% of them don’t conform to what the entertainment industry tells us is the perfect body?

This is a FABULOUS set of body refs. So glad this came back across my dash so I could reblog it here :D

amazing

I’ve seen this before somewhere in the internet. Fit bodies don’t have to look the same.

Disability is often treated as though it were a deviation from the rule. In fact, it is not an anomaly. One out of five persons in the U.S. has an impairment, yet disability is perceived as an “oddity” rather than as a natural occurrence.

i imagine adulthood to be like one of those “choose your own adventure” books except each choice is terrible

you encounter your first PAYCHECK. it is MEAGER and will BARELY BE ENOUGH to pay your BILLS

to pay your rent for this week but starve, turn to page 97
to buy food at the risk of becoming homeless, turn to page 109
to give up on life and just spend the money on hookers and blow, turn to page 69

Secretary of State Clinton showed up to answer tough and sometimes ridiculous questions regarding the deadly September 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya. In the process, she offered a tutorial for today’s young women.

Key points:

1) When a man asks you a question and then refuses to look at you as you answer, just keep going. Don’t let his rudeness silence you.

2) When he interrupts you, return the favor.

3) When he says things you know are not true, correct him. Repeatedly.

4) When he attempts to bully you, mow him down with facts.

5) And whenever possible, smile. Nothing rattles an angry man like a woman who looks happy to annoy him.

SOMETHING THAT REALLY MADE ME HAPPY:

A couple of weeks ago I turned up to my dance class early, my teacher and the teacher of the previous class were talking about eating disorders.

The teacher from the previous class said:

‘if a girl turned up anorexic to my class I would send her home and tell her not to come back until she was healthy. That is not safe.’

It just made me happy that not all professional dancers are all about image, especially with ballet teachers. It was great to see my own teachers promoting health <3

  • butty is a controversial one which means different things in different parts of the country (like for me a bacon butty would mean bacon in a burger bun, not a sandwich) - you can definitely use sandwich and I would stick to it for safety
  • you can still say cupcake, hungry and dessert and be perfectly British
  • cozzy is short for swimming costume, which is what I’d actually say
  • I’ve never heard a scarf being called a muffler
  • You can use all of the “American” insults here and still remain British-sounding apart from jerk because no one says jerk. Some of those “British” insults sound a bit silly to me (please don’t call someone a plonker dear lord).
  • Don’t ever say cheerio unless you want to sound like a twat

Dude so little notes?

This is really relevant to our followers, who are regularly stalked by TITP trolls and other fat haters (and since fat’s a big intersectional issue, who get other forms of hate as well). 

D: only 18k notes… it looks like there are a lot of anon hate senders

This isn’t even at 30k yet?! This should have at least 100k or more notes by now! C’MON TUMBLR, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER AND REBLOG THIS!

there is nothing romantic about

  • not knowing you’re beautiful 
  • loving someone until they learn to love themselves

please stop romanticizing low self esteem.

it’s one thing to love a person who happens to have low self esteem

it’s another thing to frame low self esteem as a desirable trait.
