I wrote poems to soothe the pain of life back then. Life is so wholesome now.

I have to add that gender euphoria for cis people doesn't always come from like, conforming to your gender in a "stereotypical" way

I've always been very comfortable with my gender but I didn't Really Like being a woman until I cut my hair short and started dressing/presenting more "masculine."

When i realized that I could look "manly" as a woman I truly felt comfortable and really...more "like" a woman. I enjoy being masculine and it strengthens my connection to womanhood and it's just kinda cool

witnessed this in real time after giving my then-3-year-old daughter a pixie cut. Once people started assuming she was a boy, because at the time she was neck deep in a spiderman phase, she started having symptoms of gender dysphoria. Both of her moms being under the trans umbrella, we could recognize it very easily. She started wearing exclusively pink and dresses after that and she's never looked back. She still loves short hair but opts for a bob instead.

i really enjoy making people feel good. no hidden agendas. i don’t need anything from you. all genuine love.

Hey, fat people deserve to have fun and get their needs met even if they’re the least healthy mf you know. Fat people deserve proper medical care, and carbs, and to wear shorts and so many more things! EVEN IF THEY ARE UNWELL AND ESPECIALLY IF THAT UNWELLNESS IS DUE TO THEIR WEIGHT!!! Fat people deserve the world and more. Not just the healthy fats or attractive fats or small fats or fats that are fat because of medication or disability.

skinny people please reblog this one

Everyone reblog this one

There is a basin in the mind where words float around on thought and thought on sound and sight. Then there is a depth of thought untouched by words, and deeper still a gulf of formless feelings untouched by thought.”

how about “stanning” your local library

The most underrated act of kindness is letting people be. Let them mispronounce a word, talk too much about a show they love, or get excited about something you don't understand. Everyone got something that lights them up. let them shine, even if it's not your thing

George Tjangala (also known as George Bush Tjangala) (c. 1940–1997) was an early Papunya artist whose work helped shape the emergence of the Western Desert Art movement. A Luritja/Anmatyerre man, he worked as a police tracker at Papunya while painting alongside the original generation of Papunya artists during the early 1970s. Although his known body of work is comparatively small, authenticated paintings are highly regarded for their rarity and historical significance. His public subjects include Water Snake, Spider and bush tucker Dreamings.

This illustrated biography explores George Tjangala's life, painting style, the stories behind his artworks, what his paintings are worth today, and why authenticated examples remain highly sought after by collectors of early Western Desert Art.

hey these are some tips for some of the little details in drawing fat folks that some people might not know!

as requested- my zine about fat and plus size body types from instagram!💖 happy drawing everyone!

fat bodies tutorial!

ALRIGHT SO my pal @kalreyno wanted help with drawing fat characters and as a fat artist i felt like i could give a bit of helpful insight on

hometownrockstar

some notes on drawing fat bodies in a stylized or cartoony art style! i tried to explain and illustrate things i keep in mind while drawing

how to draw fat faces and necks better

something i notice a lot with artists trying to draw fat people is that even if they get the bodies decent they often draw the heads and nec

[fatphobiabusters]

Also, please don't forget to draw fat necks. When I search for fat art, oftentimes the lack of a fat neck makes a character not look fat anymore because the artist basically just drew a skinny person from the shoulders up.

A resource I suggest is fatphotoref. You can also look at fat positive blogs for tons of photos and drawings that can help you learn how fat bodies look in different poses. Tags you can search on this blog include fat art, fatshion, fat athletes, and fat masc. Those tags are probably the best if you're wanting to use fatphobiabusters for pictures to help you learn how to draw fat people. Another tip I have heard a fat artist mention before is if you are fat yourself, use yourself as a reference photo. I hope this helps!

Just wanted to tack this on for the sake of more reference, @adorkastock has a good bank of more high profile fat references with the model Lauren Ashley, here: https://www.tumblr.com/adorkastock/tagged/lauren%20ashley

Some refs will be paid, of course, since it's an indie stock photo company. But, it's often hard to find high profile fat people depicted at all, let alone kindly, and the people running it seem to be willing to take requests/recommendations for pose packs? (Sorry adorkastock if I'm wrong lol)

[adorkastock]

Yes! Always open for suggestions! Though I am my own model like 90% of the time. LA is a regular model in rotation and I add new poses to my site gallery 3x/week. ♥
