there seems to be a special brand of unawareness that comes from skinny people who have never been overweight. it just screams “you have never had to consider things and how we interact with the world like we do”

i have been sitting with my smaller friend and a man comes up to us to start flirting with her, completely blanking my whole existence - and thats just NORMAL for ppl who are overweight

my smaller friends with eating disorders will joke about how unhealthy food is or how many calories are in it while we're all at a restaurant, and i'm all for joking through the pain n shit but we both know by the end of that meal you will leave food on your plate and i won't

i sit there and wonder if they've ever stopped to think about how every time they say that I get the impression that their worst fucking nightmare is to look like me

being overweight you view the world and people SO differently, and people view YOU so differently too.

there's the 'fat funny friend' stereotype bc if you aren't funny or show off your 'curves' in a sexy way, then some people will literally just ignore your existence. like you just won't EXIST to them. i always think about how one of the things people who have lost weight always say is how weird it was to finally be receiving attention from people.

it's experiencing the world being made for skinny people in bus seats when my arm touches someone i'm sat next to, or googling weight restrictions for rides before we decide to travel there (which are never posted on their website)

being overweight is simultaneously feeling like my presence is 'too much' when im around others, and also that i just don't exist bc people seemingly never SEE me.

and then people wonder why i just don't BELIEVE people when they say they're attracted to me as if it wasn't a game growing up to 'fake ask out' the overweight girl bc everyone finds dating someone that size fucking hilarious

people who don't live with this experience just won't GET it and explaining it feels impossible bc how the fuck do i expect u to get it you don't have to THINK about it and how it will influence your decisions every!!! day!!!!

it's damn exhausting and that's why i'm always happy to celebrate someone when they've lost weight and are happy about it bc yeah, fat positivity and body neutrality movement, but being overweight and LIVING where your body is outside of the standard is HARD and i don't blame them for wanting to make their life easier in that way

#laz speaks #this is a big rant but omg i needed to get it out #its such a different experience living as someone overweight #clothes dont fit right #people view you differently #the world is not built for you #being overweight is a CHORE man and not in ways people usually expect #its draining sometimes to be out doing things and just realising shit is Not Made For You #body positivit

Emotional scene from Muppets Star Trek.

#star trek #muppets #data tng #picard #tng #kermit #fan art #next gen #okay so like…#this is obviously mostly intended as a joke but also #human is arbitrary #especially in star trek where every other planet seems to have its own sapient nonhuman species #human is fucking arbitrary #data holds humanhood as the ideal because he was built by humans #but also because the qualities that are most often used to define him as 'lesser' are qualities that humans especially seem to prize #nobody's tries to claim that vulcans aren't real people because they don't feel emotion #or that ferengi don't show enough empathy to qualify #we don't get any betazoids going around saying that true personhood is defined by how good you are at mindreading #in a world where the enterprise was crewed by muppets #and data genuinely was the closest thing to a human onboard #Measure Of A Man would have been about Picard trying to prove that you can't have someone dismantled #just because they can't sing or travel by map

#some more screenshots from my hardcore world <3 it's going good #built that tree from the last two pictures today :3 it's no bdubs level of course but i like how it turned out!#i think im slowly getting better at custom trees and building in general! happy #that building on the uhhh 6th image is my favorite so far! it houses my bee farm and it's so cool and vibrant and funky!!! loving it #the building on the 3rd image is also pretty good. it's an inn with a restaurant on the 1st floor and villager housing on the 2nd!#it's cozy in there but on the outide i think it could do with a bit more dress up. that part of the town is still in development so im sure #it'll come together eventually! like. with another house across the street and maybe some banner lines between them it's gonna look great #i also took that screenshot with my normal playing fov and not the low-good-for-screenshots fov so. yknow #welp. that's it for now i think #mining and building and also crafting #<- made the tag for it finally! check it out if you wanna; there's the previous set of screenshots as well #yagotalk

Turtle hunt gone wrong.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #tulu xuanwu #The charming bunny socks betrayed him #the handknit socks have been given a blood sacrifice. The pact is sealed.#I will also add that lwj was sitting down last comic to give his already injured leg a break so now he’s injured twice #I had to double check I did not make up the fact that lwj gets injured in this fight (he does)#the fact his leg has been broken and untreated for days was already enough for the ‘nurse you back to health’ scene #he must be the most stubbon man in the world to have gone this long with only showing minor signs of pain #That or he is just built different. They are putting something in the water in the cloud recesses that is making the teens too strong #Too bad they are also putting something in the water at lotus pier because this teen is about to be gently carried with no issue #I like to think the turtle just gets sad at the implicated rejection and waddles back into the water while the next few scenes happen

For anyone who likes romance and spies and yearning and a short king being completely head over heels for a woman that can (and does) kick his ass, Argylle is the movie for you. Feel like the marketing team is leaving money on the table by not appealing to the romance crowd that is crying out for more genuine love stories on film and the one in this movie is actually really sweet and features an attractive couple with actual personalities.

#argylle #argylle spoilers #i am notoriously harsh on m/f couples in film especially modern ones #but i really liked this one and loved how it felt like a real partnership #this movie is not gonna win any awards but it’s very cute and the action was fun #and bryce dallas howard getting to play a whole woman instead of a terrible string of misogynistic cliches in Jurassic World was refreshing #plus sam rockwell >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> chris pratt any day #i guess he’s only a ‘short king’ in comparison to other guys but you know what he’s basically an inch taller than bryce dallas howard #so i’m letting him keep the epithet especially since the other guys are much taller and more built

love is a negative space

#better call saul #jimmy mcgill #kim wexler #gus fring #mike ehrmantraut #mcwexler #gusmax #(the intention was matty but you could interpret it as kaylee as well)#fanart #bcs spoilers #when the show is both a love story and a ghost story #the way saul's love haunts the world he built and gus' eclipses everything that remains of himself and mike carries his into the dark #and kim.............. well i imagine she'll hold onto it close

[ cw: dismemberment / ]

I think a lot about how Leo’s rescue could have easily ended in him losing a leg as the portal snaps shut on the Krang still clutching the limb, or, alternatively, only having Leo’s right arm make it out, still held dearly in his brother’s hand as the rest of Leo is left behind. (The latter hits even harder, as it directly parallels his future self in the worst of ways.)

I think a lot about how so many things could have gone wrong during the course of the movie with even a little bit of a change, but it really is harrowing how much of a coin-flip the entirety of the Prison Dimension rescue was.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rottmnt headcanons #rise leo #dismemberment /#if literally any part of the prison dimension rescue was different it would have ended Very Badly #mikey came in clutch for doing the impossible in the first place #raph grabbing leo and not once letting go was vital #and donnie directly hitting the krang was essential #hell leo having the ability to reach out at all in the state he was in was a miracle #listen I think about the prison dimension a lot if you couldn’t tell #for the next tags:#strangulation mention /#physical trauma induced mutism /#potential death mention /#potential sibling death mention /#barely it mainly focuses on if he lives but /#I also think about how Leo’s trachea could have easilyyy given out as Raph (krangified) was choking him #can you imagine the last words raph hearing from his little brother being I’m sorry?#he’d likely live as the hamato bros are built different but imagine if he straight up can’t talk again after #the bros having no idea what Leo’s plan is but they suddenly feel him disappear with the portal #or also #imagine all he gets out in his hoarse voice is to beg Casey to close the portal before his family HEARS the sudden silence like a knife #even if he gets saved his voice may be wrecked or even gone for good #what am I writing wait-#also for my point on leo losing his arm paralleling his future self #imagine fate being a thing in this world but a VERY situational thing #imagine it makes it so that leo has to lose a limb #but not just that - it also ties his presence directly with the Krang’s - so if the Krang’s somewhere else…so is he

do you consider your self made?

#my art #self portrait of sorts #been musing a lot on disability recently and how being relatively freshly unable to do Most Things has changed my perspective on things #for a long time growing up i was fixated on the idea of being An Impact On The World yknow? mainly the next Big Writer #(and that it would be sooo impressive that everyone would make my books bestsellers when i was only 12 because it was That Good)#and i mean. obviously that didnt work out as originally planned because i was 12 and learning. but I've felt a lot like #I've kind of built my sense of self on those big achievements. even if they were only big to me. and a lot of them #are now out of reach or very difficult to reach. and it's been a lot to. recontextualize #to take what ive been told my whole life and ignore it in favor of just being being enough.#things will happen as they happen. i havent earned anything by suffering but it hasnt ended the world either #im here doing what i Can do for as long as I'm able to do it. and thats all i need to be for now #just making sure that i Do do the things i can do rather than assume i can do them later #anyways. love you #cw:#top nudity #artistic nudity #the dreaded ambiguously presenting nipple #if you put any pro weight loss eating disorder shit on here ill kill you btw #my body is sexy because im in it and im still alive. not because its struggling to stay that way #lindwormposting

The great reddit blackout is happening today to protest reddits plan to charge third party apps outrageous prices to continue to make reddit accessible to people with disabilities and those who moderate large subs for free using bots to keep the communities safe and free from hate. Some threads are going dark until the 14th, some till the end of the month when it's officially decided whether the increased prices will go through, and some are going dark forever.

Don't let corporate greed win. Stand with your community, stand with your disabled friends, stand with those who create a space for those who have none and don't let them fall

#reddit blackout #reddit #we can resist the future they want for us #community #disability #blind #sight impaired #moderators #disabled community #resist #i stand with you #the world is built on the people who run things for passion not greed
