  • you’re working so hard
  • you’ve gotten through everything that has been thrown at you so far; you can get through this too
  • you are worth so much
  • you are wonderful

As early as the 1920s, researchers giving IQ tests to non-Westerners realized that any test of intelligence is strongly, if subtly, imbued with cultural biases… Samoans, when given a test requiring them to trace a route form point A to point B, often chose not the most direct route (the “correct” answer), but rather the most aesthetically pleasing one. Australian aborigines find it difficult to understand why a friend would ask them to solve a difficult puzzle and not help them with it. Indeed, the assumption that one must provide answers alone, without assistance from those who are older and wiser, is a statement about the culture-bound view of intelligence. Certainly the smartest thing to do, when face with a difficult problem, is to seek the advice of more experienced relatives and friends!

full offense but being considered stylish when you’re skinny is pretty easy

what does this even mean?

It means skinny girls can wear anything and it’s considered “a look” but fat girls have a smaller pool to choose their outfits from cause everyone tells them they have to wear things “for their body type” also clothes for plus sized people are not only more expensive but most stores dont even sell larger sizes so skinny people also have more access to “stylish” clothes

also when you’re fat and you wear “women’s” clothes you’re expected to perform femininity to a higher degree and be more put together. which is why 90% of mainstream plus size fashion is corny pinup bullshit

Skinny girl with a sloppy bun, no make-up, shopping in yoga pants = Hot.

Fat girl with a sloppy bun, no make-up, shopping in yoga pants = disgusting.

It’s bullshit.

Also if you’re fat girl wearing anything w pictures or mention of food on it is a no but if you’re a skinny girl you’re held as having the best fashion sense ever If you’re fat its “stop condoning your unhealthy lifestyle” and its super disgusting tbqh

So… You do realize we have a show where two poc characters talk very calmly about religion while one of them is very religious and the other isn’t, right?

We have a boy who has chosen not to believe in the religion he is suppossed to because something happen that made him doubt about his faith. And a religious character who respects that, who listens, who tries to understand, who expains why that same religion is important to her. And he listens, he does.

And you also realize we are watching two people completely falling for each other without any hints at sexuality or touch, right?

And we have a main poc female character who isn’t reduced to a love interest and who is strong, independent and also kind, selfless and caring. We have that on tv. We /do/.

Even if you’re unemployed, even if you’re taking time off from school, even if nobody is calling and making plans with you, get out of bed, take a shower, put on clean clothes, wear some cologne or perfume, turn all the lights on, do some laundry, clean up a little bit. 

Doing all this stuff causes a shift in your perspective. Do it in spite of your situation. 

That’s the only way to create sustainable happiness, because if your behavior is dictated by your circumstances, you’re always going to be miserable. Don’t let the world determine your mindset. Let your mindset determine how you view the world.

do you ever pretend like you didn’t see something so the other person doesn’t feel embarrassed
