Ash. 26. Scottish. Bisexual. She/her. This blog no longer has a fucking theme idk I shitpost a lot. Also occasional nsfw and lots of swears, get over it.
Ready 2 die.
your fat activism posts should include people who are not healthy at their current weight or have an eating disorder where they eat too much btw
like YES there are plenty of fat people who ARE healthy and that is a super important thing to say but fat people who are not currently healthy (especially fat women) are treated like dirt by both camps. like i dont know how to explain to you that unhealthy people dont deserve to get treated like garbage
she asked me if i believed in god and i told her that when i was four i almost drowned in a public pool and in my panic mistook a stranger for my father. i clawed my way up his leg. four years later he’d send my parents a picture of the scars alongside a tin of cookies. he said, “i hope she’s still okay. i carry her with me. it isn’t every day you save a life. it isn’t every day you feel like you were here for a reason. when it does happen, you have to cherish that memory. for once, i had a purpose. just being there was enough. she tore me open but she taught me a lot about love.”
My 10yo had a couple events at our place today and one friend was going to be coming for both, with five hours in between. To save his parents driving, I offered that he could stay through, but explained when I made the offer that my kids need a break from social time or they’ll get drained, so could their kid bring a book or something over for some alone time in the middle of the afternoon for my introverts to recharge? His parents happily complied and I’ve been chatting with the kids about it. “I’m worried that you guys are having a ton of fun right now because your battery is still charged, so you’re not taking a break—I want to make sure that you don’t crash and need a recharge right before the party starts tonight, because at that point you won’t be able to take your break to recharge.” Both kids very seriously listened, agreed, and have been having their chill time separately. One’s reading and one’s watching YouTube.
Can you fucking IMAGINE learning this kind of energy management, which is so important for neurodivergent people to avoid shutdown/meltdown, before your 30s?
Okay, don’t get me wrong here. I LOVE Jurassic Park. I love seeing their dinosaurs. But after watching Prehistoric Planet, and going back to look at this…
Notice how much healthier the second set looks? Their lips cover their teeth, they actually have fat on their bodies, their skin doesn’t wrinkle like they’re dehydrated. You can’t see every single tendon and muscle move because you aren’t supposed to. Dinosaurs are animals, not reptilian body-builders.
THIS is the kind of change I want to see in how we create realistic depictions of not only dinosaurs, but all prehistoric creatures. Paleoart has always had a huge issue with shrink-wrapping and making these animals look terrifying instead of making them look like, well, animals.
Well done, BBC.

Get your Tyrannosaurs from responsible, DKC registered breeders! Anyone who says your rex should be skinny or ‘thats just how they are’ is lying to you.
