I’m not even going to address anon directly, because seriously, fuck that guy.  For the rest of you who may be wondering how I POSSIBLY manage living as a fat person, let me explain how I do it: 

I do it by making time for fun things as often as possible. Like riding carousels while morbidly obese. I  have the gall to do this in front of children. 

I do it by making sure my skin is always moisturized and cleansed. I know it’s shocking, but my glowing, fat face feels great after a seaweed-based exfoliant mask. 

I do it by finding time for my interests and hobbies. I’m an amateur mycologist. You may think it’s frightening for a fat forager to find fungi, but I think it’s fantastic.    

I do it by surrounding myself with wholesome, non-judgmental people. A fat person with friends and family?!? It’s more likely than you think. 

I do it by wearing bright colors and taking any opportunity for a photo shoot. Surprisingly, my fatness hasn’t broken a camera yet. 

I do it by singing loudly and flamboyantly. Much as you’ve been told fat people spend 99% of our time gasping for air, I actually have pretty solid breath control. 

I do it by pursuing my education. Don’t worry, they let me skip the part of the bar exam that asks for your BMI.

I do it by having an adorable, supportive partner. We even make out with the lights ON most of the time! 

I do it by creating safe spaces in my home. I love decorating for holidays and dinner parties. The tinsel really compliments my back rolls! 

I do it by adopting fluffy animal friends. Mr. Fluff here may always have a look of existential dread on his face, but he’s not once had a problem with my weight. 

I do it by spending time in nature. Trees and green spaces are very healing! Yes, even for a fatty like me. 

I do it by making this face at people who tell me that since I’m fat I can’t have all the things I already have. I have the audacity to believe that I will one day accomplish all the important goals I have set out for myself! I’m a fat person and I have value.  I’m a fat person and I can realize my dreams.  I’m a fat person and I have a happy, fulfilling life.  That’s not going to change no matter how many anons send me hateful messages.  To all my fat family out there, you deserve a support network of caring people who don’t care about your weight. You deserve to achieve your goals. You deserve respect. You deserve happiness.  Don’t let anyone tell you differently. 

YESSSSS YOU GET IT GURL💗💗💗💗💗

A+

As someone who used to make these suits, let me actually break it down one further. The face has to be controlled by slipping your hand out of one of the sleeves and up through the neck. Not only does this person have great control of the facial expressions, but they’re able to swap between control hands almost seamlessly (you’ll notice in the first part they’re using the left hand for facial expressions, in the group photo, they’re using the right). They have awesome control, this is seriously such a well-constructed suit and skilled person controlling it.

Love this. (via Brovegna)

I JUST HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ABOUT THIS COMMERCIAL

I was just thinking about these commercials and how I wanted one on my tumblr, and now here it is!

Awkward confession time: whenever I feel like the world is shit and I can’t keep dealing with it, I watch this and/or read about cool science things to remind me that it’s not all bad. 

For all of you having bad days

These Shiba Are Sticking Their Heads Out For Attention And It’s The Cutest Thing Ever

AND THERES A SIGHN ASKING TO NOT FEED THEM TO NOT UPSET THEIR STOMACHES, IM CRYING SO BAD ;_;

I’ve been backreading @the-exercist for…an actual embarrassingly long span of time, at this point, and in my backreading I came across their takedown of the original, rather more unpleasant version of this image. 

But I was captivated by the little rhino and I thought it was a shame the image was so unpleasant in its message. So I put my Photoshop skills to good use, cropped the slogan and poster, added a smile, and turned our Running Rhino from someone anxiously chasing an unattainable fantasy ideal to someone who’s just havin’ a good time on a treadmill. (I figured reposting with a link would be better than drawing attention down on a post from two years ago.) 

RUN ON LITTLE RHINO. 

Just in case anyone needs to hear something positive 

Rat Empathy

Upworthy carried a story summarizing an experiment demonstrating that rats exhibit empathy. Why do I care about this? Because the graphics showing the experiment on Upworthy made me smile, and smiling is good. Here’s the link in case you want to watch the video embedded in the story.

Some scientists ran an experiment to demonstrate that. Here’s how it worked:

When the dry rat heard the damp, miserable rat get upset, she came to the rescue.

Still not satisfied with the result, the scientists ran a more complex test.

What if you bribe the dry rat with food? Will she ignore it to rescue the wet rat in the next chamber?

Scientists presumed it would be easier for the not-in-peril rat to take the obvious selfless route when it was given only one choice. But what if they gave her a delicious bribe (chocolate cereal) and then let her choose between saving her friend and a buffet?

The rats, by a significant margin, still usually saved their friend before getting their delicious bribe. What does that mean?

Rats might care more about each other than things like food, and that prioritization might be encoded in their DNA.

Why should we care about super-thoughtful rats?

It is often argued that humans are inherently selfish — that without guidance, we would all default to killing and stealing and an “every person for themselves” mentality. That we only help others if it helps us. That evolution can’t make us selfless; it’s something we have to force ourselves to do.

But if rats show human-like qualities (they laugh like us, they dream like us, they like to have selfless lovers) like altruism, that means it isn’t a human-learned behavior. It could be encoded in our DNA. It means humans could be empathetic and kind by default.

It also means that rats and humans have more in common than we think.

An adorable rat not spreading the plague and hugging a tiny teddy bear. Much empathy.

TINY WONDERFUL BABBIES

Not my usual content, but important because of how many oppressive arguments rest on the presumption that supporting the well being of others is an unlikely, unreliable and antithetical to our nature choice.

Plus, rats. That is enough.
