“Do what you love. It’s gonna lead to where you want to go.”

(via Beauty is Embarrassing - The Wayne White Story)



(via two corpses, everything’s fine - In which badguys and I attempted to make a map of Panem.)

I’m always sad when I see fat people posting cartoons on Facebook or Twitter that shame thin bodies, happily commenting “Bigger is better!” or whatever. I think that because fat women are so beaten down, told so often that our bodies are less than, that we are just so excited when someone suggests that “bigger is better” we don’t always think it all the way through. In truth I think bigger isn’t better or worse, it’s just different. I think being for Size Acceptance means accepting all sizes. I think it’s best to avoid being a hypocrite of epic proportions. I don’t believe that I can call my self a Size Acceptance advocate unless I fight as ferociously for society to recognize the beauty of flat chested women with thin boyish bodies as I do for women who look like me and everyone else. To me Size Acceptance is about realizing that every body is beautiful, not trying to convince people that my body is better than someone else’s. Nobody should have to live in the environment of hate and judgment in which fat people currently reside. And that includes thin people. Doing the wrong thing in the opposite direction is not the same as doing the right thing.
