all my advice about using real athletes to learn drawing bodies beyond hard abs, and my particular pref being wrestlers, also applies to women btw. you can draw women who r strong and not an hourglass shape. fucking do it.

kris statlander, rhea ripley (look at her SHAPE), willow nightingale, ruby soho, these r just four off the top of my head that have obvious musculature and different body types. skye blue and julia hart have more slim cheerleader style bodies as well, i REALLY wanted to put emi sakura who is fucking STOUT (adoring) in this post but i couldn't find a good demonstrative pic, the list goes on

DRAW DIFFERENT BODIESSSSSSSS

strong women who are not thin and have diverse body types and shapes list. more under cut

Two important mental health lessons for the night:

1. “My situation’s not that bad, other people need this resource worse” is something that people who desperately need the resource say, as a rule.

2. “Am I doing enough?” tends to be asked by people who are doing all they reasonably can, as a rule.

The best part of this post is watching y'all call each other out in the tags.

Forget calling other people out, I’m calling myself out. @ me you need to hear this you dumbass.

Several people have done this and now THIS is the best part

No state has a "right to exist". The purpose of institutions is to serve human beings, and if your institution is slaughtering human beings en masse then it must be stopped. The survival of the institution itself in this scenario is of almost no import.

I've been scream laughing at this for several days

I'm curious. Reblog this if you know how to cook

I don’t even care if it’s macaroni, ramen or those little bowls you stick in the microwave. Please, I need reassurance that most of the population on tumblr WOULDN’T STARVE TO DEATH if their parents couldn’t fix them food or they couldn’t go out to eat. 

One of the things I love most about the Stormlight Archive’s main trio is that their vibes and attitudes are in almost total contrast.

Like, to look at them, one is a sweet-looking blonde guy with a huge smile, and his cute redheaded wife who’s always making jokes. And then, a few metres off to the side, is this six-foot-four gloomy-looking dude with a severe case of angry eyes. 

But then you read the books, you find out that Adolin and Shallan would both 100% murder someone in a shady back alley, meanwhile Kaladin is probably helping save a child stuck in a tree whilst on the way to his nightly stew dinner and therapy session with his 30 best friends. 

rb to give a flower to the person you rb this from

“honor is not dead so long as he lives in the hearts of men”

“life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination”

“You are not worse for your association with the world, but it is better for its association with you”

Three stormlight quotes that genuinely help me move in my day to day life

Eyes on the Condé union 👀

Condé Nast runs publications like Vogue and Vanity Fair. Striking at the Met Gala is no small threat.

They held a work stoppage in January and Anne Hathaway walked out of a photo shoot when she was informed of the stoppage. This could be really big.

THEY GOT A TENTATIVE AGREEMENT!

This is the first Union contract for them and has taken more than a year of talks!

One hell of a fight and so happy for those workers

You know what I find fascinating about Nimona?

The fact that she wanted to be a sidekick.

Nimona is easily the most powerful being in the kingdom, possibly the world. She could very easily overpower Ballister if she wanted to.

But she doesn’t. She asks to be his sidekick. And then she actually treats him like a boss and lets him call the shots.

Because at the end of the day, Nimona is just a kid. A kid who has probably never had a parental figure in her life.

She wants someone to look up to. Someone to tell her what to do. Someone to take care of her.

Saw a post "It's hard to care about a rap war when there's a real one going on," which is totally fair.

But I want y'all to understand the potential impact of what Kendrick is doing. He waited until he got people drawn into the gossip to flip from normal rap battle stuff to an indictment of the entire OVO Sound studio for sex trafficking. He's not baselessly making this shit up, Baka was formally charged with "human trafficking and procuring for prostitution" (trafficking charges were dropped because the victim fled the city before testifying, but he was convicted of assulting her anyway) and then signed by Drake at OVO immediately after getting out of prison.

We all know how this shit goes. Witnesses are intimidated or killed and the whole thing gets brushed under the rug. Drake was summoned to a deposition for the murder of XXXTentacion (who tweeted "if someone kills me, Drake did it" shortly before his assassination) and got away with just not showing up because that's how much fucking money he has.

This is a big deal because Kendrick Lamar is too high-profile a whistle-blower to kill.

Oh my god???????

I hate these people so fucking much. Our country is crumbling in literally every way - infrastructure, childcare, schools, healthcare and hospitals, etc and we're in one of the biggest cost of living increases ever homelessness is increasing and will continue. Covid is still a thing. But no this is what they're spending our hard earned tax dollars that make up their salary for

Kaladin at 20: middle aged dad with 7 years in Iraq

Adolin at 27: would unironically buy Harry Styles' used napkin on Ebay

There is no crime where torture is an acceptable punishment.

There is no crime where sexual assault is an acceptable punishment.

There is no crime where slavery is an acceptable punishment.

"Well obviously people arrested for drugs and other non-violent crimes shouldn't be forced to work but—"

No! There is no but!! There is nothing in the world that makes slavery okay!!!

I could talk about people being charged for crimes they didn't commit. I could talk about coerced confessions. I could talk about people being charged with more extreme crimes than what they did to fill prisons. I could talk about how slaves out of certain types of criminals creates an incentive to charge more people with certain crimes.

But I'm not going to actually talk about any of that because it doesn't matter. No one should be enslaved. No one should be defending or justifying slavery. This should not be controversial.
