“Can fat people be healthy? A provocative new study shows that obese people who...”
– CBS article on a new weight study via @Fatheffalump on Twitter (via shallanelprin)
I am, mind you, exceptionally curious as to what’s caused all these public avenues to start announcing the proper results of these studies all of a sudden.
It’s really not new news; it’s just been...

Question: Do you have any advice for someone attempting to draw creatures with snouts, and how do you get the appearance of 'smooth lines' without a Tablet?
Thank you for answering and most of all...

The problem with engaging in this kind of public commentary on the bodies of famous people is that it contributes to a world in which announcing one’s body-size observations is a normal and acceptable thing to do, even when these comments are not about celebrities. It creates a culture in which what we ALL do with our bodies is open for public comment.
There are...

There’s something sort of funny about being the quietest, most underspoken member of the family who sort of gets overlooked pretty frequently, and then having so many people show up to see me and hang out and celebrate on my birthday.
I sort of forgot to sleep at all, so I’m going to go and do that shortly, but it’s just kind of nice.
25 feels like it should be such a big,...

randomlancila:
You call me fat. Okay, well…first of all, that’s pretty obvious. Second of all, you say that like it’s a bad thing. Like it’s an insult. And that ship sailed long ago. Fat is not on my list of ‘bad things people can be’. Hell, my favorite piece of jewelry is a necklace that says fat. Pass me a…

An excerpt from a thing I wrote.
You should read it! This is all I’m going to post, because it’s an experiment, but I really like the introduction.
It’s a bit of narrative written from Nef’s point of view, covering a new concept I’ve only just gotten a handle on today.
So there’s a word in Aengoch, the language I used to speak before I died. It’s sibe, and it means “people”...
There is no wrong way to have a body. →

Excuse me while I throw this down, I’m old and cranky and tired of hearing the idiocy repeated by people who ought to know better.
