reblog before december 17th
But they’re not female presenting
It’s a lady showing you some nipples. How much more female presenting can it get?
workshopping the title of my research paper
today’s mood is inspector jack robinson just fucking rolling with the punches. miss fisher knows judo? of course. dot’s infiltrated a factory and is now their key witness? well, obviously. miss fisher is already at the crime scene that she should know nothing about? why on earth wouldn’t she be?
we’re just gonna drop into the ocean from where we’re hanging off the bottom of this fishing pier even though we’re fully clothed and it’s the middle of the night? okay, sure.
This face says it all
So the plan is to get back into cooking and content creation, so my first Pillowfort is TheAnatomicalCook.
Nothing on there right now, but I’ll soon move my old blog to my new blog. :)
[id: the canberra flying titwhale, looking smugly at the camera with is weird and uncomfortable face]
this is the only legal content on tumblr anymore apparently
Historical paintings of women, fully clothed are now “explicit,” okay
It’s because of their tantalizing locked gaze with the viewer which amounts to a sexual challenge rather than them demurely looking down or into the middle distance or towards a small book on the flowers of southern France
why do lesbians always give their gfs such weird compliments? today i asked my gf how i looked in a new outfit and she said “like a cryptid on the moors babe” and idk what to do with that but i love it
because we know what women want??? next question
the other day in the kitchen, my gf told me “you have very convenient ears” and it was incredibly sweet but literally impossible to explain why
“What’s next…FREE WATER?! FREE OXYGEN?! WHERE DO WE DRAW THE LINE?!”
right-wingers, pointing at a human right: is this a COMMUNISM?????!?!?!?!??!?!
It took me a second to even realize he was being ironic. It’s just common sense

The supposed complete ban of NSFW content on the 17th is gonna literally kill sex workers but okay
I work in health, y’all wanna know what happened to sex workers after backpage closed down lmao it was and still is absolute carnage
You know what we need more of? Fat women in Victorian-era stories. Some people have this idea that every woman back then was thin "because corsets", but there are plenty of period photos with large women in Victorian dress.
yes yes YES
gorgeous lady!
Ivan Markov painting circa 1870. this girl is lovely, if not trying very hard with her maenad costume
this woman is probably some sort of performer, judging by her many tattoos, but there are plenty of photos floating around of thin Victorian performers, so here’s some representation of a less-than-proper larger lady
more on the average-sized side, but she has a taxidermied cat on her head and I feel that deserves to be seen by as many people as possible because I’m so confused
my beloved French fashion dolls, while their waists are fairly slender, almost always have little molded double chins that suggest a more ample size contained by a corset
actually all of the women in the photos above are wearing corsets. so why don’t larger corsets and garments survive in the same numbers as their smaller counterparts? for the same reason that mediums and larges are harder to find than smalls when shopping- more people wore those sizes, so they got snapped up quickly and worn until they gave out. larger clothes were more expensive then as now, so they would have been kept until they pretty much fell apart
you’re absolutely right, anon. as today, Victorian women came in all shapes and sizes
this double chin doll makes me so happy in the most undefinable way
The girl with the cat on her head is also wearing a choker that says “PUSSY,” which is incredible, honestly, what an icon
white people will steal aave and then when they overuse it will be like ‘can everybody please stop using the word ______ its so annoying now :/’
All I’m saying is:
Fat and chubby characters should be more popular and accepted
ADDENDUM: This post is NOT for “thicc” characters that have no tummy
ALSO people who treat being fat as just some kinda fetish do not even think for a second this post is for y'all
On World AIDS Day, reflect on this Hanukkah lamp titled In Search of Miracles, on view now. In his use of test tubes for oil containers, the artist Salo Rawet associates the ancient miracle of Hanukkah with the search for a cure for AIDS, cancer, and other plagues of our time. The artist proposes here an alternative version of lighting the Hanukkah lamp, extending beyond the traditional eight days of the holiday to symbolize continuous cycles of the sun and moon. In this new interpretation, the lamp becomes and embodiment of hope and an expression of “human attempts to intervene and support the divine process of exuding miracles in our daily life.”
