Hello, world! I’m fat. I look good. That’s all, thank you.
Greetings, friends. If you are fat, you also look good. Okay, good bye.
Thin people, you are welcome to reblog this to let your fat friends know they are phenomenal
I am not fat, and I look good. My wife is fat and she is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever known.
P.S. Thank you OP for starting this excellent, positive thread. 10/10 would reblog again.
Mmkay cool but if you’re about uplifting your wife then why did you start off making it about your not fat self when virtually everything is already about that?
My apologies, I see your point and that’s my bad.
I’ve observed a trend in our culture that some people are fine with body positivity towards people who are fat, as long as they are in relationships with other people who are fat. But they treat the idea of a fat person in a relationship with a thin person as a joke, or think that the thin person must be ugly or that they could do better or something, and that idea is total bullshit.
My intention wasn’t to draw attention to my thin self (though I can totally understand how it came across that way, and I’m sincerely sorry for it.) My intention was to say that people of mixed body types can be happy and confident in how they look, and still be happy and confident together.
Damn dude, you know sometimes it doesn’t hurt to stand up for yourself once in a while.
Sure, but this isn’t one of those times. I’m a thin white dude who came in and accidentally derailed the message that @iridessence created this post for. Whether it was intentional or not, I believe an apology on my part is the appropriate response here.
Plus, she makes a valid point. There is absolutely no shortage of messages in our culture telling people who look like me that we’re valid and look good. So why water down the original message by mentioning myself at all? I was in the wrong, and I should own up to that.
The explanation I added in my second reblog isn’t there to justify my response. It’s meant as, “Hey, you’re right and I’m sorry. As part of my apology, I’d like to share a thought to show I’m sincere and see if we can both come out of this situation with something positive.”
I believe in standing up for myself when I’m the victim of injustice, but that’s NOT my position here. I’m part of the problem (whether intentional or not) and if I truly want to help be part of the solution, that starts with me taking responsibility when I screw up, learning from it, and encouraging others like me in positions of privilege to do likewise when they mess up too.
One last time, I want to apologize to @iridessence for hijacking this thread and shifting the focus on some random white skinny dude who doesn’t need any more attention than he already gets. I just wanted to make sure the folks reblogging from me understand that I don’t need them standing up for me here, because I’m not the one who matters in this thread.
You’re who matters in this thread. You and every other beautiful fat person who sees this thread. Thank you again for starting it. 10/10 would reblog again (but keep my mouth shut next time)
thinking about how much more sinister zootopia wouldve been if theyd rolled with that idea of making the predators wear shock collars so they couldn’t experience emotions
i got a few questions abt this so i’m just going to like.. answer them here for everyone who is unawares.
the original plot/concept for zootopia involved predators having to wear shock collars (called ‘tame collars’) once they came of age that administered shocks if the predator experienced any strong emotion. the prey believed these collars were necessary to prevent predators becoming violent. it shows up a fair bit in the concept art
in the original story nick was going to be the protagonist and he ran a business (theme park-esque i think?) where he would illegally allow predators to remove their collars. it seems (?) like they got fairly far along before they scrapped it. here are some deleted scenes
this was a really intense concept. it rlly makes you wonder what the movie would’ve ended up being like had they continued down this route
So my boss once robbed a museum to prove a point and honestly, I think she is my new role model.
If this gets notes I’ll tell the full story
Storu
Many years ago, my boss was working at this museum and they had these original Churchill documents on display. These documents are worth millions of dollars… The only thing separating the public from these documents was a sheet of glass secured with 4 philips head screws. Seriously. No security guards in the room, no cameras, just an easily removable piece of glass.
My boss pointed out the security concern, but she wasn’t taken seriously, so she took matters into her own hands.
She bought a ticket and pretended to be a guest. She entered through the main entrance with a huge drill clearly visible on her belt, went straight to the documents and opened the case with the drill. (While wearing gloves,) she removed the documents, put them in a folder, reattached the glass, and walked out the main exit. Literally no one even questioned her.
She immediately went around to the back of the museum, entered using the staff entrance and went straight to her boss’s office. She dropped the folder on his desk and said “I just stole these in 15 minutes“
Once he was done being mad at her, he listened and the museum increased security.
I took my meds too close to bedtime again and I need you all to know the dream I had last night involved Robin Williams becoming the new Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts. Not, a character portrayed by Robin Williams, just Robin Williams as himself running around Hogwarts doing wandless magic and being as loud and big as possible because and I quote before I forget:
“Listen, children, I’m not saying all this bad shit that is happening isn’t scary and you shouldn’t be concerned–because you should!–but I’m telling you this now for free. Life is a boggart, it’s the biggest boggart of them all. You never know what it’s going to look like one moment to the next. And sometimes you just gotta laugh. It’s okay to laugh. It’s part of the grieving process. You need to grieve before you can heal. But it’s okay to laugh while you’re doing it.”
I didn’t wake up right after that, some more stuff happened in a hazy sort of way as the dream began to dissolve into conciousness, but I remember him yelling Expecto Patronum as he punched a Death Eater in the face. Because sometimes, evidently, you have to make your own happy memories.
You just fully got the actual spirit of Robin Williams to pop in on your dreams and give you some wisdom
