Because telling fat people that they are in fact humans that deserve dignity and respect automatically means you’re ~*GLORIFYING OBESITY*~

By the way, don’t dribble on to me saying you worry about a fat person’s ‘health’. That’s just a bullshit excuse to voice your unwanted opinion on a fat person’s body considering you wouldn’t give a single flying fuckadoodle about someone’s health if they were skinny. Besides another person’s health is none of your damned business anyway. Run along now and preach to a choir that actually cares.

I’m going to be honest, so long as you’re not hurting anyone, you can eat soy sauce and milk duds all day long for all I care.

thank you so much for this comic imp.

this is all sorts of amazin

Sometimes I feel ugly. Sometimes I hate my weight. Sometimes I just hate myself. 

And that’s okay. I embrace those negative feelings.

Body positivity is a process. 

Body positivity is not a linear journey. 

I say this often but it’s important to say and hear.

Body positivity is not a linear journey. Some days will be easier than others.

You can feel wonderful one day and shameful the next, all of these feelings are valid and normal and acceptable.

… the socialization of boys regarding masculinity is often at the expense of women. I came to realize that we don’t raise boys to be men, we raise them not to be women (or gay men). We teach boys that girls and women are “less than” and that leads to violence by some and silence by many. It’s important for men to stand up to not only stop men’s violence against women but, to teach young men a broader definition of masculinity that includes being empathetic, loving and non-violent.

Labor groups urged massive clothing retailers including Gap and Wal-Mart to sign an international pact this week that would solidify safety standards and send a clear message that big brand names won’t allow another easily preventable tragedy like last month’s factory collapse in Bangladesh, which killed over 1,000 people, to happen ever again. Naturally, most U.S. companies that produce in Bangladesh refused to sign it.

By Wednesday, more than a dozen European retailers had signed the pact introduced by IndustriALL (a global federation of unions), including Benetton, Topshop, Zara and H&M. But Abercrombie & Fitch and PVH Corporation, the parent company of Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, were the only U.S. companies that got on board; others said the language could get them into trouble.

Which, duh: that’s exactly the point of an agreement that holds companies accountable.

There are some people who could hear you speak a thousand words, and still not understand you. And there are others who will understand — without you even speaking a word.
