Just thought people may enjoy this :)

The world is so fatphobic and glorifies thinness so much that I am turning 25 years old in five days and this is the first time I have ever in my entire life seen representation of fat people in figure skating. And what is just as surprising is that when I looked at this person's account, they had no content about weight loss or wanting to become thin. They actually had content specifically talking about accepting their body and being glad to show other people who look like them that it's okay to follow your dreams no matter what your body looks like.

It's incredibly sad that this is the first time I have ever been able to see my body represented in figure skating (and don't get me started on the lack of fat representation in other sports as well), but I hope this person's videos will inspire more fat people to try this sport and not hide our bodies. Maybe someday in the future I'll be shocked that there had ever been so little representation of fat figure skaters in the past.

While we wait for a second printing of my book, here's a new comic l've been working on in between other projects that I finally finished. This is actually my longest comic ever, at just under 40 pages. 😵‍💫 I'll be sharing more parts of it this week but of course you can read the whole thing early for just a buck! Here!

Here's part 2! Part 3 coming tomorrow but you can read the whole thing early here!

Here’s part 3! The rest is gonna stay exclusive to my patreon for a while, but it’s just $1 and there’s other comics there too! Here!

Great! Here are my recommendations:

heads up everybody who uses taglists: tumblr's made a change where you can only tag 5 people per line of text. so if you have a taglist like this:

@persononeee @persontwoo @personthreee @personfourr @personfivee @personsixx @personsevenn

the last two people won't be tagged at all! in order to make sure everybody gets a notification, you can do it like this:

@persononeee @persontwoo @personthreee @personfourr @personfivee

@personsixx @personsevenn

remember to check your taglist after posting, preferably on the mobile app, where the difference between tagged and untagged users will be visually obvious.

Truly something how comforting the LOTR movies continue to be after 20 years and eighty million watches.

Also deeply glad that they made this trilogy a) before the era of irony-poisoned grimdark, as I shudder to think what it would be post-GOT, and b) when cinematographers believed in letting us fucking see what was going on in night battle scenes.

ah.

Normally I'd suggest never taking advice from Pietro, but him telling Tommy to "go avenge your murdered boyfriend" is something I truly do want to see

These poor guys. :(

David and Tommy better damn well reunite in NYX, I swear to fuck...

Posting due to an emergency- please share widely if you're local to Chicagoland.

If anyone in the Chicagoland area sees this, a friend's service dog prospect is in need of immediate boarding from tomorrow until May 6. Winnie is about 40 pounds and is not dog-reactive at all, but the person caring for her was hospitalized and so my buddy is looking for a short term emergency foster!

I'm available to help with any transportation (you wouldn't need to drive her anywhere!) and compensation+coverage for food/medical/etc. would be involved. You wouldn't need to pay for her stuff, just make sure she has a place to stay and walk her and call me if she needs to go to the vet.

If this is something you or someone you know could help with, please let me know. It's an emergency situation, so for the first time in... well over a year, I am opening my inbox in case this is something you can help with. Please DM me if you or anyone you know can help.

Doing a rare signal boost, since I know @kaijutegu IRL and can vouch that this is real and necessary. Posted originally and reblogged on 4/25, so the need for an emergency foster starts 4/26. Chicago folk, please let her know if you’d be able to help.

unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.

bonus it ALSO fills that dopamine hit of in-person shopping. “oh I didn’t go in looking for this but hmm, I’m tempted… I can’t resist… oh ho ho I have made some irresponsible decisions at the library today [carrying my stack of ten random books]” and then it doesn’t even matter if you don’t like them because a) free b) you’re gonna give them back anyway

Librarian here! Please please please please PLEASE do this! We don’t have any way to know if you read them, and we don’t care! We’re happy to see those books go out because that helps our stats. And that affects how much money we can get.

So grab that silly paperback romance, and maybe this new YA fantasy, oh and check for the new movies too! And don’t forget to check Libby and hoopla for music and ebooks and e-audio.
