I found this nice tutorial/anatomy advice spread created by meghanhetrickof deviant art.

She gave me permission to post it up here to share so go make sure to visit her and look at her other creations of goodness!

I get what they’re doing here and I think it’s cool, but I mean it’s weird to be all “boobs come in all shapes and sizes!!” and then to shame people with implants whose boobs DO look more like all the “no” examples.

I do my best to draw diverse body types, and I very much support seeing more diversity in the way women are portrayed in art. But we can do that without shaming ladies whose bodies aren’t “natural”, because frankly they get enough shit anyway.

True. Reblogging again for corrections and commentary

Exercise doesn't help depression, study concludes

Exercise doesn't help depression, study concludes:

tooyoungforthelivingdead:

A study into whether physical activity alleviates the symptoms of depression has found there is no benefit.

Research published in the British Medical Journal suggests that adding a physical activity intervention to usual care did not reduce symptoms of depression more than usual care alone.

This contrasts with current clinical guidance which recommends exercise to help those suffering from the mental illness, which affects one in six adults in Britain at any one time.

I thought this was true and all - fuck yeah, randomised controlled trials!

Chelsea Coreen - “Fart”

“But how @%^# up are our standards of beauty, or gender constructs… that we make little girls hold in their farts until no one is around to smell them”

“When I used to visit my grandmother in the hospital she would make me apply her red lipstick for her - she said she couldn’t be seen without it.”

Chelsea Coreen, of SUNY Oneonta, performing during Semi-FInals at the 2013 College Unions Poetry Slam Invitational.

Inspiration porn is an image of a person with a disability, often a kid, doing something completely ordinary - like playing, or talking, or running, or drawing a picture, or hitting a tennis ball - carrying a caption like "your excuse is invalid" or "before you quit, try". Increasingly, they feature the Hamilton quote. (The only disability in life is a bad attitude)

We’re not here for your inspiration

aperpetualswansong:

“Inspiration porn shames people with disabilities. It says that if we fail to be happy, to smile and to live lives that make those around us feel good, it’s because we’re not trying hard enough. Our attitude is just not positive enough. It’s our fault.”

I’ve seen this article before of course (and probably reblogged it), but I’ve just discovered it again so I felt like sharing because it does a pretty good job at explaining what I hate about inspiration porn

This about sums up how I feel about the Merida changes.

I wasn’t aware of these changes and now that I am, I am extremely disappointed in Disney.

And props to the woman who did this video.

Well done.

This is great! I read today that they had pulled the sexified Merida off their website. Hopefully they’ll keep it off.

“Under the current ‘tyranny of slenderness’ women are forbidden to become large or massive; they must take up as little space as possible. The very contours of a woman’s body takes on as she matures - the fuller breasts and rounded hips - have become distateful. The body by which a woman feels herself judged and which by rigorous discipline she must try to assume is the body of early adolescence, slight and unformed, a body lacking flesh or substance, a body in whose very contours the image of immaturity has been inscribed. The requirement that a woman maintain a smooth and hairless skin carries further the theme of inexperience, for an infantilized face must accompany her infantilized body, a face that never ages or furrows its brow in thought. The face of the ideally feminine woman must never display the marks of character, wisdom, and experience that we so admire in men.”
