I am dead fucking serious when I say I wish I saw more fat women in public. I want to see fat models. I want to see fat women in department stores getting absolutely HYPE when they find racks and racks of clothing in their size and sizes up, so they too can get the "oversized, baggy fit" like women who fit into smalls and mediums. I want to see fat women wearing crop tops proudly and rocking mad midriff. I want to see fat women trying on clothing for their friends and family and saying "look! it compliments my body shape! it's like it was made for me!" I want to see fat women with "cankles" wearing pretty jingling anklets skipping and jumping just to show them off. I want to see fat women on TV, in magazines, on billboards, in all manner of ads, and in online shop images because I want to see my fucking self and all the women I know who don't see enough of themselves. I want to see fat women living, loving, and being visibly proud of who they are because they are beautiful, WE are beautiful. I want to see fat women because fat women need to see other fat women.

hi i have a bit of an odd question and im so sorry if it comes off as rude at all!
ive seen a lot of your posts about canes, i have hEDS and chronic pain and im trying to convice my mom and my doctor to let me have a mobility aid. my mom is very adamant that i dont need a cane because i dont have balance issues, but my knees and ankles are pretty much always aching. i was just wondering if you think a cane would help with chronic pain or if i should look into other aids?
Canes can help chronic pain, they are not guaranteed to help you specifically
You can get a cane for ~$30 at most stores and try it out
A physical therapist and/or a specialist in rheum will most likely know more than your PCP about your specific pain and situation
Parents often don't want to admit their kids have health problems
I wish you luck
I won't be answering any more asks about mobility aids.
This is nothing about you specifically, you were not rude, I just get a lot of questions like this in my inbox. It becomes draining to get so many asks with people's personal vents about their medical issues or religious trauma or the homophobic situations they're living in.
While I would love if I could help people, I am not a doctor. I am not a therapist, I am not a social worker. I'm just a random artist on the internet who has EDS and is barely getting by myself.
I prefer to keep my blog about my art and about my work, not about my disability. It is relevant to my work, of course, and discussing my conditions in vague terms in how they relate to themes present in my work is more than okay, but I prefer this space to be dedicated to my work and getting to engage with my readers through my stories.
Personal information about my pain, my medications, my tests my doctors and my trauma are not things I want to make public.
Thank you for understanding.

after seeing your tags on that poll abt which part of writing is the hardest, i’m so moved and fascinated by how different our answers are and by how differently in general people handle the same activity and the challenges that come with it
like i absolutely get where you’re coming from but that’s not how my brain chooses to work and that’s amazing to me, especially as it pertains to storytelling - which is a whole other world on its own
storytelling to me has always been a way of processing and holding up a mirror, maybe because writing to me has always mostly been done from a roleplaying perspective. it's writing yes, but also acting, you create one single character and get to know them scarily close, and then you get to know your fellow player's character scarily close too. it's inevitable. and then what also becomes inevitable is you start to see what makes their character tick, why they built their character the way they did—you start to see them in their character.
and then what comes next but to see you in your characters?
all of this to say; i've struggled with beginnings too like i said. i still do a lot sometimes! beginnings are scary as fuck. and when you see that reflected from your pages in real life, that is a hard pill to swallow. this poll was another mirror, or maybe some bitter medicine i really didn't like taking lol. another reminder of what i struggle with in life. and isn't that the beauty of art? getting to see a reflection of you, however brief it may be? even if the creator themself isn't aware what they did, even if it is just from a poll, because anything can be art?

Hey, I just read your post about the shitty situation with your lawn chairs and all that and I know that we don't know each other and I'm just some random person from the internet, but if you have paypal and send me your e-mail for that I would like to send you a little money. It's not much but maybe you can buy something nice for you and your mom! I hope you are okay and I wish you only the best! Stay strong, it will get better!
Hi, thank you. You're a very nice person and I really appreciate your kindness 🥰 I don't want to sound ungrateful but it's ok, you don't have to send me anything
