would you date shorter?

I’m sure this question was asked in like 2017 but my answer is I have dated shorter and I would again. It’s about confidence.

I’ll reblog this every time I see it, because there’s something about burly beardy bikers giving help and companionship to a small hurt kitten that makes the world a little bit better.

White people should be banned from adopting transracially.

Kenya has approved an indefinite ban on adoption by foreigners. This needs to spread like wildfire…White people using Black and Brown children as disposable pretentious props has got to stop.

some facts to go with this post:

the young girl who died is called Hana Williams, her adoptive parents were Christians who adopted seven children and raised them with extremely hard punishments based on a Christian child raising book.

Hana died after being denied food and being shut out in the yard as a punishment.

This isn’t just about “white people”, it’s about white Christian Americans. An important distinction to make in this case.

Also important: The Kenyan adoption ban was in response to human trafficking, and not connected to problems in transracial adoption cases.

LET THIS EXTEND TO WHITES ADOPTING NATIVE CHILDREN: I used to work at a psychiatric hospital on a children's unit. I had two patients who were adoptive sisters, genetically unrelated to each other. Both adopted by a white Christian family, whose father was the sheriff of one of the most well-known tourist towns in the US. They had biological children of their own. What did they do? They kept the native girls in dog cages in the basement. Only fed one of them at a time so the other would have to vomit her food and feed it to her sister. They finally escaped and ran to the neighboring town when they were 12 and 13. They were cognitively and physically developed to about the age of 5 and 6, respectively. Even though they weren't genetically related.

SO WHAT PUNISHMENT DID THE FAMILY RECEIVE? They received a fine for not enrolling the children in school. No charges of neglect or abuse, whatsoever.

MANY MIDWESTERN STATES OFFER A FINANCIAL INCENTIVE TO WHITE FAMILIES WHO ADOPT NATIVE CHILDREN. MEANING THEY GET PAID MONTHLY TO KEEP THEM. THIS IS AN EPIDEMIC AND NEEDS TO END. NOW.

quick reminder to all of you who take prescribed antidepressants, antianxolants, etc. Please, please, stay cool this summer. It is incredibly important that you remain hydrated and in the shade as much as possible to avoid overheating. Your meds can increase your body temperature. If you feel faint, get inside, lie down, and drink a glass of ice water. Your body is a lovely muffin that’s at that perfect stage of golden brown. DO NOT cook yourself.

Wait. Antidepressants can make you overheat more quickly??? This makes so much sense, wow..

not-uu

Yes, they can!

also if you take any ADD/ADHD meds like adderall or vyvanse remember to drink a lot because those meds are pretty dehydrating!

Holy shit this makes so much sense.

Also if you take Lithium for bipolar symptoms, the drug can reach toxic levels in your body if you become dehydrated. DRINK WATER PEOPLE

Listen to this dog’s bark…

So, today I weigh 330lbs. I have never been this heavy in my entire life. By a long shot. Life circumstances and my own complacency has led me to this today. Today I’ve decided to make a change. Not because I hate how I look or don’t love my curves, but I need to get healthier. I want to be able to run and jump and bike again. I want to feel like I can keep up with everyone that I love. But, I promise you, this is the first time in my life I will be on a weight loss journey while also loving my entire self on the way there, and not just for what the end product may be. And I have you guys to thank for that. I see beautiful people of all sizes posting here every day, and inspiring me to no end. I know I don’t post here very much, but don’t let that make you think you guys don’t have an impact on me. I love me, I love you, and I am looking forward to treating my body like a temple as I work toward some goals.

Thank you all.

Day 7(ish?): Guys, I'm so tired. Sorry i've been late on the newest post (i'm banking on no one giving a crap). It's been a rough few days. I had a migraine for a solid 48 hours and it finally went away this morning, but then i had 8 hours of class and now I'm exhausted. i posted some tweets yesterday from some trolls in my Twitter mentions. i then tweeted some things about owning whatever things people use to attack you. for me, it's my weight. the thing is, if this was a few years ago, someone telling me i was fat would destroy my day. but since then i've been actively trying to be okay with however i look at the time, and not hating myself in the process of self-improvement. we can't go about life loving ourselves conditionally. don't love yourself for how good you'll look in that bikini this summer. love yourself for exactly how you are now. love yourself for having the willpower to take steps to feel better, or whatever your goal may be. people can't hurt you with things you embrace. i sincerely feel sorry for people who have to make fun of others anonymously on the internet to feel whole. and i hope you're able to embrace your flaws and imperfections, and not let people use them as ammunition against you.
