happy make-a-terrible-comic day!

The funny thing is that I can fully see where a lot of very dumb discourse on this site came from but it doesnt make it any less perplexing

"Weight is most often determined by genetics rather than lifestyle choices, and the connection to health is not as black and white as TLC would have you believe": yeah, im with you.

"A person's health is not in any way connected to their worth as a person, and its not any of your business how healthy someone is to begin with, nor is it fair to demand fat people bend over backwards to perform health for you in a way you never ask of skinny people": absolutely. Completely agree with you.

"Saying that vegetables and exercise are good for you is fatphobic": okay what the hell happened here

Genuine friendly summer reminder for my fellow fat people.

We have more body than skinny people so we also contain more water and therefore need to drink more. 2 Litres is something skinny people need to drink we need more. I aim for 4 litres a day.

While any waterbased liquid is good try to not drink all 4 litres in coke or soda. I absolutley do recommend sport drinks or similar things. Fat people like us, or at least me, sweat a lot in this heat even without sport. Refill those electrolytes. Your body will thank you.

My go to drink at home is a 2 litre jug of water with just enough store bought raspberry or orange syrup that it has a taste thats not water.

Please stay hydrated in this heat and take care of your body. Its the only one you have.

(If you clown on fat people in tags/replies/comments I will hunt you for sport)

Honestly it boils down to reparenting yourself & rewiring your own neuronal pathways & telling yourself a firm “stop” when you notice your mind slipping down negative loopholes & being present in the moment & enjoying being mid task rather than waiting for it to end & not thinking of inertia as your baseline and natural way of living

the overall dismissal of QPRs in many spaces sometimes makes me feel sad for other people. because I know some folks would do better if they could have a serious conversation of Being Comitted in their Relationship with some of their very close lifelong friends. Having your deep platonic bond be acknowledged to be on the same level of importance that romantic relationship are inherently given is so important, and it sucks that so many people never even get that option

Spent tonight at a local short film festival. One of the shorts was made by two 12 year olds in their backyard and it was the best short of the entire night

hi all, I am fleeing domestic violence and am raising living expenses to help offset my current housing costs while I seek employment and independence.

I’ve opened a ko-fi tier for monthly support to help me get back on my feet 🙏

I’m connected with potential housing resources (I'm in SF and this city has many), but I’m working to become independent for the first time in my life.

this ko-fi will serve as an intermediary step towards reopening Patreon, where I’ll sell tapestries as soon as I’m able. (you’ll also get personal sketches and process vids as I work on new Celestial art!)

please reblog and help me find reach if you feel moved to. 🙏 it helps….. more than I can express. 💖

my dream tonight will be that every american military base on foreign soil implodes and collapses and never returns again

At the post office today:

Man with beautiful silver undercut and a coach bag: can I get a sheet of stamps please

Clerk: does it matter what kind?

Man, with homosexual despair: EVerything matters to me, unFORtunately.

People don’t realize how much we sound like other things because we are created from the same laws of physics. “That potato in the microwave sounds like it’s screaming” is funny because it really is, air is vibrating out of a small hole which is how our throat works too. The babbling river that sounds like humans whispering, that’s because it’s a wet hollow cave with echo delivering the same functionality. The river doesn’t just sound like us, we sound like a river. They use a metal trashcan to create a lion’s roar for movie sound effects. But the truth is, not only does a trashcan sound like a lion, a lion sounds like a trashcan. Cars purr when you turn them on. Everything is like everything else. Inanimate objects are not so far away from life as it seems.

Remember the next time you feel more alone in the company of large buildings, or maybe less alone among the rocks of the river, that they are not completely unlike the parts of you.
