A gentle giant
So no one told you life was gonna be this way *Phantom of the Opera overture*
Man I don’t know what it’s like where you are but around here buying food at the dollar store is a fools game.
It costs MORE per pound or quart or whatever than at the grocery store and it’s lower quality.
It just seems cheaper if you can’t do math ;cause you can like get peanut butter for a dollar but it’s only a 4 ounce jar and it’s 30% palm oil.
I looked at like 20 products and they were all the same, very small sizes at about 20-30% higher price by volume. Many of them were made in China and idk about you but I would rather eat pigeons than processed food from China.
hahaha this is the same person
WHEN WILL PEOPLE FUCKING REALIZE THAT
MEN
ALSO
ARE
GIVEN
UNREALISTIC
EXPECTATIONS
DO YOU HAVE ANY FUCKING IDEA
HOW IMPOSSIBLE IT IS
TO LOOK LIKE THIS???
IT’S 100% FUCKING ILLOGICAL TO EXPECT MEN TO HAVE THIS RIPPED SIX-PACK ABS AND BE SKINNY AND HAVE PERFECT SKIN AND FACIAL COMPLEXION! MEN ALSO EXPERIENCE BEING UNCOMFORTABLE WITH OUR BODIES ALL. THE. FUCKING. TIME.
I’m bringing back the REAL post. For those of you who care enough about how body image issues effect BOTH MEN AND WOMEN and how ignoring men with eating disorders or who have depression or deep insecurities because of their body image is not just ignorant, but it’s horribly insulting. Making fun of this post means you are telling men who feel degraded that they should feel bad about themselves and that they don’t mean anything. For everyone who reblogged the posts that made fun of this original post, shame on you. I’m very disappointed. Please share the original because this is an important issue.
Also raised to my attention is I neglected to add people of color to this post, I am sorry for my negligence so I shall add bonus images here of unrealistic expectations for men of every race, I chose Men’s Health Magazine because it’s extremely popular in telling men how to look:
No, guys, you don’t understand. I just got so relieved seeing this original post again that I nearly cried.
Bless the blog that brought the original back!
Here’s the original post without some of you asshats changing the pictures
This is actually the VERY FIRST TIME I’ve seen the original post, which goes to show how quickly people turned it into a joke. I confess that I did laugh at some of the absurd replacement images in the other versions, and I feel guilty for that now because I, like many, was missing an extremely important message.
To all of my male followers who struggle with self-esteem: I support you too. Even though I’m really quiet and have a bad habit of going weeks or months without posting, I WILL be there for you if you come to me wanting to talk or just vent. That’s a promise.
Another thing to note that in all, ALL, of those pictures the men are actively flexing. And often such defenition for shoots is exaggerated by dehydration, airbrushing and photoshopping. That chiseled look isn’t a look you can acheive at rest without literal implants. Here are 2 examples of flexed vs relaxed:
And you know what? Dollars to doughnuts none of the above muscular looking guys are as strong as these men:
These are strongmen. These are the bodies of men that train for strength, not defenition. These guys can practically lift cars and drag trains.
So men of the world that get depressed about not looking like you just stepped off a magazine cover, relax. You don’t have to look like that. You are handsome, beautiful and fantastic the way you are.
To all my beautiful boys <3 Please read and heed. You’re amazing, and you don’t have to look any particular way. This goes for transboys too. You’re handsome no matter what!!!
This is so important!! Like my dad looks fat but he’s mostly super strong
its posts like this that make me wanna keep on living and still feel a little good about myself
6 pack abs are out, viking/barbarian bodies are in
Guys, you’re beautiful or handsome, whichever you prefer no matter how you look and I’m so sorry that anyone ever told you or made you think that you weren’t.
GOOD POSITIVITY POST. YOUR BODIES ARE ALL AMAZING AND VALID BOYS
whenever my husband worries about his physique, I tell him about this post. He is a physically fit and active guy, just with a gut, but he gets judged for being “““fat”““ all the time. Like, to the point where it hurts our ability to afford healthcare. He is a 6′2″ MONSTROSITY of BEEG STRONK MUSCLES, but all the health share groups/insurance policies saw was his BMI. Even when their appointed fitness coach came to do his measurements and found him to be perfectly healthy, they still went with his BMI alone to tag him as “at risk” for health problems, and bumped up the premium costs. And because of that, we still don’t have insurance or a health share plan of any kind. We are super broke and slowly paying off debt anyway, so that is an issue too, but even if all of our debt were payed off, the policies offered to us based on his BMI alone would still eat up like 80% of the extra money we would have. It’s disgusting. Fat shaming and size discrimination is real, and even though there are unhealthy people out there using body positivity to cover up their bad eating and living habits, many more are simply bigger people who don’t fit into the stereotypical mold. “Fat” people are typically healthy, even with their small increase risk of health issues. So long as they get all their nutrients, drink their water, and move their bodies, I don’t see why doctors, health companies, and others keep harassing them over what their BMI says alone. Health is complex, and weight is not always the cause of health problems that DO occur. Even if weight IS the problem, it’s more like a SYMPTOM of the problem rather than the cause of issues itself. But again, no one sees it that way, and it’s literally hurting and killing people.
When I was hemorrhaging to death because of hormonal problems the doctor gave me birth control and basically told me to lose weight and cut grain out of my diet.
Needless to say it did shit.
…well this entire thread fuckin’ slapped me in the face and called me out. That… reframes a shit-ton of stuff for me.
Obviously RBing to draw attention to this because holy fuck it didn’t hit me how hard I was internalizing this stuff until now. I got things to reevaluate.
ur twenties are weird. i have the priorities of a kindergartener again. i don’t know what in the hell is going on EVER. i like colors. i like soup. i want to take a nap
Have a gif of Mark blowing kisses because I held up my paddle on red for him to win round 2 of the dance battle

In case you missed this heart warming exchange
My Motto For The Next 4 Years:
It’s that time of year to say no to the Salvation Army.
Never forget they let a Trans woman die instead of helping her.
Never forget they have tossed entire families on the street for having an LGBT child.
Never forget they tell non Christian families that unless they convert they will not help them.
Never forget that the Salvation Army is bigoted and hateful, many of the bell ringers routinely heckle and harass LGBT couples.
Annual reblog.
In case you’re worried about being rude by ignoring the bell ringers.
what is it that makes swords seem so unattainable? you can get one for like $20 on amazon. sure some of them are upwards of 300+ bucks but thats for the real artisan shit. if you just want a blade you can grind and swing around thats so cheap. replica swords arent hard to make. swords ARE a reality you can achieve. but they seem so lofty. like something beyond what any of us could ever dream of owning. and yet we can
it's because you're not supposed to buy them they're supposed to be given to you by a lesbian in a lake
while he’s “roughly the size of a barge” and dumb as hell, gaston is NOT a himbo because he’s missing the ultimate himbo factor: kindness
the h in himbo stands for heart
Heart
Idiocy
Muscle
Beefiness
Optimism
Gaston is just an imbo then
Imbo is short for IMBOCILE
Things we learned from Chat Blanc
- Gabriel Agreste is the worst
- Gabriel Agreste is THE LITERAL WORST
- Chat Noir can cataclysm akumas, meaning he CAN step in for Ladybug, he just doesnt have the reset power
- We finally got a good look at exactly what type of power the black cat miraculous has and why it's one of the two most powerful miraculouses. He can destroy the entire universe, not just walls and doors and things
- Natalie's a snitch
- Chat tried to fight the akumatization and did better than most
- Gabriel made a huge mistake with Chat Noir. He doesn't really understand the forces he's playing with and it got him and basically all of Paris killed
- Gabriel Agreste is the worst father on earth confirmed
- Marinette watches Doctor Who #confirmed
- Bunnix really has an expansive power. If she hadn't stepped in it really would've all been over
- Chat did NOT try to side with Gabriel after learning his identity and his reasoning for wanting the miraculouses
- Gabriel is 100% okay with hitting and using his son, no hesitation
- Adrienette is super cute
- Chat sings to himself and idk if that's cute or kinda sad with the context
- Gabriel is the actual worst
Friend sent me this photos from Jaxcon they found.🤣
why do people think that planned parenthood is this dimly lit back alley clinic where witches live and they love to just hand out free abortions like…. it’s a regular doctors office. You can get condoms there. I’ve never even seen a witch there
with your support we can ensure every planned parenthood has a certified witch on staff
Also: while we’re doing checkpoints, make sure you’re on WiFi and not data
And unclench your jaw
stretch and have a glass of water
Take your meds
go to the bathroom if you haven’t in a while
Have a snack
Make sure to bathe if it’s been awhile
Every hour on the computer, take a fifteen-minute break.
Also, don’t forget to rest your eyes!
You know what I'm just gonna say it.... pads are better than tampons, everybody needs to stop lying
