We would be in a significantly better place as a people if “old” and “fat” could be neutral descriptions of fact and not seen as insults by default.
Just in case I need to say it, thin/young people can and should feel free to reblog this. That’s kinda my point.
The fact that this post got 10k+ notes before someone vomited a bunch of “there’s a weight limit on who I will afford basic respect toward” and “blah blah UNHEALTHY” bullshit, is a win. I mean it’s annoying as hell to have to suffer that at all, but if this was like 2015, it would have happened at 100 notes and I would have lost a crap ton of followers for defending myself and daring to suggest fatness is OK actually. So I’m taking the chance to be grateful for a little evolution.
Rest in peace, Tina Turner

“When I first saw the original painting, I began to do some research on that little boy. I could find everything I wanted about every other detail in the painting, but there was nothing about him. No history. And so I wanted to find a way to imagine a life for this young man that the historical painting had never made space for in the composition: his desires, dreams, family, thoughts, hopes. Those things were never subjects that the original artist wanted the viewer to contemplate. In order to reframe the discussion, I decided to physically take action to quiet [and crumple] the side of the painting that we’ve been talking about for a very long time and turn up the volume on this kid’s story. And that’s the reason why I started that painting.” Via Artnet News 2019/03/27

my little cousin confidently declared that mother nature had a counterpart named daddy electric and i feel like this concept needs to be explored
Daddy Electric and Mother Nature sounds like a cute 70s act
Daddy Electric is Bill Nye's cousin
