I do feel bad for plants in general. Like, I know they are often as vicious as animals in many ways, just slower. But, I mean, they just show up and they’re like, “I Think I Will Evolve To Eat The Sun And Also Make Oxygen And How Now Is All This.” And, like, everything fucking dies at first (totally not plants fault, btw. okay maybe it was but they didn’t mean to) but then new things evolve. And they’re like, “Fuck it, eating each other suuuucks. Let’s eat the plants which give us life.” And so we start doing that. And plants are all, “Oh Dear No, I Do Not Care At All For Being Eaten. I Will Make Myself Into Poison Sometimes.” But, y'know, stuff kept eating plants anyway so plants, ever the bro, came up with a new idea. “I Have Made A Decision About Being Eaten And You May Eat Me Friends And Here Is An Especially Tasty Bit Packed All Full of Delicious Sugars Which I Have Produced At Great Cost (What They Do Not Know Is That My Seeds Are Within And Shall Be Propagated Near And Far By Their Dung)“ But that’s not good enough for animals, no, not at all. We love the fuck out of some pomegranates but also alliums which are like, “I Have Not Decided To Go In For This Being Eaten Business. I Shall Be Very Foul Tasting And Also A Poison.” But no, sorry, onions, you fucked up. You accidentally wound up with a species that just doesn’t give up or fully comprehend the idea of things tasting “”‘bad’“’ or other concepts like not eating poison. (Sorry, plants, later we turn some of you who are not poison into a poison we consume recreationally. We really enjoy eating poison.)  Legit, alliums are deadly to, like, every other species. And we call them aromatics and throw them in everything. Peppers are the best, though. They completely got on the being eaten train. BUT ONLY BIRDS Peppers are like, “You May Eat Me, Fair Avian, For You Are Sure To Spread Me A Great Distance. But, Mammal, Take HEED. Should You Eat Me Then I Will Burn You Most Terribly.” And we were all about that. “The FUCK, burning? I love pain,” said humans, presumably. “You know, peppers, you and evolution have done a good job at burning us but I am pretty sure we could make your chemical agony even more potent. Come hang with us,” humans added to a very confused pepper just before creating the ghost chili.

Me: *thinking about Christian memes* What if Jesus had come in 2017 instead of back during Roman times? Would He, instead of using parables, have spoken in memes? Roommate: I hate you. You aren’t allowed to have any more thoughts about Jesus. Me: It’s not like its heresy! It isn’t insulting! Roommate: Yes, it is! Memes are inherently sin, a sign of the Devil’s influence on this fallen world!

Satan: turn these stones into bread

Jesus: bold of you to assume that man can live on bread alone

the fact that insatiable has a skinny actress in a fat suit automatically makes it fatphobic doesn’t matter if you think it’s dark comedy or satire it’s absolute garbage already

[z13a]

This is fucking stupid. Fatphobia is not a thing. Being fat isnt always a good thing. Being healthy should be the main priority, if you are bigger you will have more health problems. THATS WHY PEOPLE DONT WANT TO BE FAT! Not because we think fat people are lesser, but because we want to see healthy people and be healthy.

[leons-kennedys]

being fat does not necessarily mean you’re unhealthy and being thin does not automatically make you healthy. body type, genetics, developmental determinants etc all play a part in body composition, you can be obese according to the BMI scale or whatever and still in perfectly good health

and this kind of faux ‘we want to see healthy people’ concern spouted by fatphobics is bullshit because if you were really that concerned about other people’s health, which has nothing to do with you in the first place, then you’d also be going up to smokers and drinkers and telling them not to smoke or consume any amount of alcohol bc “you just want them to be healthy””

fatphobia is ABSOLUTELY a thing that thousands of people experience daily and if you can’t see why insatiable is a disgusting example of it then idk what to tell you you’ve clearly never been on the receiving end of it

[bittywiggles]

Being healthy* and fat (anything over 30 BMI) is so uncommon that it shouldn’t really be in the discussion. Had a long thing typed but fuck it, I’m not getting that committed to The Discourse™

Shaming people for being fat shouldn’t happen even though it does regularly, but people need to push the people they know and care about to get healthy in a supportive and loving manner. It’s a tricky line to walk, and I don’t know shit about Insatiable so not gonna weigh in there (guessing it’s genuinely fatphobic from what little I’ve seen), but I feel like we’re straying too far into “being fat is ok” territory.

I make sure to remind the people I know who smoke and drink at work that they shouldn’t be doing it. I’m grateful for the kick in the ass a few older regulars at my coffee shop job gave me about losing weight. People in communities should call each other out on being unhealthy, not mutually support their unhealthy choices.

It’s shit like “healthy obesity” that kept me from really giving a shit about my weight for a good 27 years, and my joints are just the tip of the iceberg in the price I’m paying for waiting so long.**

If you’re looking for a scientifically-backed article on healthy obesity*, by the way, this one is full of links to actual studies*** and gives a good idea of the scope of everything that’s been studied so far.

*Healthy obesity is an incredibly undefined term that can mean anything from “less swelling around the ankles” to “no metabolic conditions” when your BMI is over 30. If you’re going to reference a study or article about it, be sure to note what they’re calling ‘healthy obesity’ and take that into account when looking at the results.

**Always prioritize your health over losing weight. Eat right first and then cut calories. Only time you should ever listen to something else is if it’s from a trusted doctor. Prioritizing health doesn’t just apply to fat people, either.

***Additional PSA: don’t trust anything on the internet about health unless it’s hyperlinked to a study that you’ve read the results of with your own two eyes. My job has been nothing but scouring the internet for accurate health information for the past two months and the amount of trash, sensationalism, and twisting of studies out there is appalling. Bonus points if it’s a study of a tiny population size with strange parameters that’s been funded by a major corporation pushing supplements, cus that shit’s not shady at all.

slowly crawling out of my depression hole with copious amounts of drawing and surprisingly successful self-marketing to clients, like i just snagged a second longer-term deal with one that pays more than the usual stuff

also eating healthier maybe? hopefully?? on week 4 of that DASH diet thing and keeping an eye on calories and at least acid reflux isn’t really a thing any more?? and also my heart is less angry at me.

browsing last night and stumbling across friendos talking about how they struggle with writing female ocs even when they’re ladies themselves and it’s so frustrating! knowing that there are still issues with this in the year of our lord 2018! (100% not frustrated with you guys, i’m frustrated at the world and society and myself)

like, i’m sitting here on my pile of 8-10 female ocs and one (1) gay doctor, and i’m just as uncomfortable writing a man as they are writing a woman and it’s both better than their situation because i’m not a man so it’s more socially acceptable, but also just as bad because gender shouldn’t be an issue at all? they’re just people??

and then i’ve been taking a hard look at my own characterizations and damn glad most of my ladies only come out when i’m rping with my bff because there’s so many Problematic™ things about them and personal agency is such a huge issue, and you can see me wrestling with sexuality in half of them in probably problematic ways too, but i know it’s just a derivative of my own issues in the end and it’s 100% ok to explore that, especially in a safe environment

but when you’re out there in the big wide world of rp and writing, like... i’d be fucked if i only had 1-2 ladies to wrestle with this stuff with? because it’s taken 8-10 to really figure myself out and how to write really complex and realistic... women? people? i’m sticking with women because personal agency isn’t as much a problem with writing men for some reason, the internal coding and bias is unreal

idk where i’m going with this it’s just funny to see this just happen to crop up on the one night i pull up tumblr while i happen to be wrestling over the same shit privately

Golly it’s weird actually browsing tumblr again.

Something between getting my sleep schedule back into a more coherent order, getting into a morning routine that includes sitting outside with Sara for the recommended 20 minutes a day, and starting to eat a bit better has had me feeling like an actual, coherent human being.

Like, depression is still there? But I’ve actually been working a few hours every day and cooking and keeping things clean? And it doesn’t exhaust me just to get out of bed and do the bare minimum. So I’ve been happily busy, and reading physical books again and actually enjoying summer and it’s been great, and just - naturally avoiding time-wasting sorts of things like tumblr.

There are looming issues, ofc, but for now, I’m just happy that little and easy steps have had such a big impact on my brain. Sara’s helping me stay in routine, too.

tl;dr rachel remembers that her brain is connected to her body, and also remembers literally everything she’s ever heard or been told about depression

p.s. one of my friends started zoloft a few weeks ago and the difference is night and day. It’s making me really want to look into getting meds again. But we’ll see.

It's a beautiful movie! But there is a LOT of controversy around the ending, and I wish I'd read up on it instead of avoiding information for spoilers. Would recommend anyone interested in watching doing the same.

Artist Peter Cook, grew this living garden chair using tree shaping methods, primarily training a living tree through constricting the direction of branch growth. The chair took about eight years to grow.
