Among other things, Kendra Licari is also an actual literal pedophile with the way she talked to and about Owen and I can't fathom how she didn't get in any legal trouble for her documented paper trail of disgusting sexual comments about him

Video captions: And stop trying to show your ex what they missed out on! Stop trying to teach your family a lesson for not believing in you! Stop trying to shit on your haters! Do it for you! Do it because you deserve it! Do it for YOU! Water your dreams with love! Don’t put no hate and resentment, and try to — “oh Imma fucking show them, Imma show” — FUCK THEM! Fuck them, do it for you! They don’t matter! They NEVER mattered.

You are enough, you are worthy, and you matter. Always. No matter what. You deserve to be here, and you are worthy of all the good that life has to offer.

The numbers on the scale do not define me, and they have nothing to say about my worth as a human being. Neither do my dress or pants size, my measurements, my labs, or my BMI.

My body is not a moral failing.

I don't owe anyone thinness.

I don't owe anyone adherence to current beauty standards.

Health is complex, and it's not a moral obligation to myself or to anyone else.

Food is more than just fuel.

I am allowed to have treats.

I don't have to count calories or macros.

Exercise is not a punishment for the food I have eaten or am about to eat.

I am allowed to have snacks.

Food isn't good or bad, it just is.

I am allowed to have fats and carbs.

All bodies, including mine, are worthy, because they hold human beings.

I am allowed to have rolls, cellulite, stretch marks, etc.

My body does not define me.

I am allowed to love my body just as it is, right here and now.

I don't have to diet.

I am unfollowing "thinspo" and "fitspo" accounts on social media. Today. Right now.

I am allowed to eat any foods I want.

I am allowed to eat as much as I want.

I am allowed to eat any time I want, day or night.

I listen to my body and trust myself.

I am enough, and I am worthy, right here and now, just as I am.

I feel like too many consent-related posts focus too much on giving and getting consent, and not making sure that people feel comfortable not consenting. We talk too much of consent as if it is a given, as if you just have to ask and then you’ll get it. 

like, there are so many things that boil down to “before you have sex, ask for consent” rather than “don’t assume you’re about to have sex unless you know for sure that the other party/parties want to, and even then they could change their minds”.

Which is just really unhelpful. The whole point of consent shouldn’t be “you should always ask for it and then you can have care-free sex”. That still assumes that you’re going to have sex, when the whole point of asking what people want to do is that it should be possible to say no.

Consent and dissent are both equally valuable. It’s OK if someone asks you if you want to do something, and you say no. And whether you say no for today, for a week or forever, it’s all fine.

Because you know that there are going to be people who think they’re so ~progressive~ and so ~feminist~. when they ask their partner(s) if they want to have sex, but then won’t be able to handle the word “no”.

There are basically no unwanted consequences of casual sex that don't also happen to people in committed relationships.

STIs happen in committed relationships. Rejection and heartbreak happens in committed relationships. Assault, rape and murder happen in committed relationships.

You don't have to have casual sex if you don't want to! I actually never have, it isn't for me. But it isn't uniquely risky or universally bad for women or whatever you may have heard. The ways to keep yourself safe during casual encounters -- using protection, having good boundaries, noping out if you get a bad vibe -- are strategies you would still need to ensure your safety in a serious relationship.
