(grabs you by the shoulders) you have to make room for new experiences in your life. you have to go through the unpleasant work of leaving your comfort zone, even if just for a few minutes at a time. because if you don't, your brain will trick you into stagnation. you will start to believe that the world can barely fit you in it. but that's not true. it's the opposite way around. you can fit the whole word inside of you. your task is only this: to welcome it with open arms

Mia Tavonatti is an American artist and writer known for her large installation mosaics inspired by Renaissance imagery and contemporary sculptural abstracts.
they say you can't pour from an empty cup but i've been doing it my whole life and aside from all of these mysterious ailments it's working out great for me
my type is geographically inconvenient
My default setting is assuming people don’t want to talk to me
Fibromyalgia is so ridiculous.
What do you mean the name just means "muscle hurt"
What do you mean the pain is worse when it rains
What do you mean its a whole body systematic thing that half of doctors think is make believe.
What do you mean my body is so tired I could sleep for ten years.
My mental state is: If you give me a long hug I might start crying.
💗to be so loved
I am cherished.
I am worthy.
I am loved.
I am, damnit.
it was kind of fucked up for wall-e to be that way about fat people now that im thinking about it
I’m never NOT thinking about how the first 40ish minutes of Wall•E are the most evocative, beautiful thing that the Walt Disney company has ever produced bar none, and then the SECOND they reach the space station it becomes the most boring, blunt and extremely ableist “save the earth” animated kids movie in existance for the movie’s remaining sixty minutes. Why did they do that to him.
guys I think maybe the space station part is important to the artistic themes of the movie
frankly i feel like if you read wall-e as fatphobic you're kinda misunderstanding the messaging of the film
I feel like you can make the same messages without putting the idea of being fat/needing mobility aids as a moral failing. I understand where the idea comes from, but just because the idea has good intentions doesn't mean the effect isn't shitty.
"humanity lived on a space socialism ship where everyone had their needs met. They got fat and lazy. They never made any art all they did was get eat and be dumb and use mobility scooters. This is a moral failing. We need to force everyone to work on a farm and grow their own food because that would make them not dumb and lazy"
The notes on this post really illustrate how a lot of people refuse to acknowledge that analysis that looks at the events in a piece of fiction as the result of choices made by the artist and analysis that looks at the events of a piece of fiction as the result of in-universe cause and effect relationships are operating on fundamentally different and often incompatible wavelengths.
"But it makes sense that they were that way because they were FORCED to live a sedentary lifestyle all their life" yeah turns out the critique here is not coming from an in-universe "it doesn't make sense" perspective, it's coming from an out-of-universe "the artists choosing to use fatness and reliance on mobility aids as a visual shorthand for societal decay has fucked up Implications™" perspective.
if they care, they’ll find time for you.
you will live and you will say the wrong things and make mistakes and people will love you anyways.
i made this post because i've got so many friends that think saying something wrong in a conversation is the end of the world. it isn't. you'll be okay. you don't have to be embarrassed about every little thing. you are alive and doing things and speaking to people. you will make mistakes and you will live.
