stop teasing little latina girls for having more body hair than white girls. honestly. it’s so gross. that is a child. a child that cannot control how her body is developing. her natural body should not have to put up with ur bullshit beauty standards.

instead, tell her that u love her bushy eyebrows or that it’s a-ok to have a little hair under ur arms or that girls can have peach fuzz and there’s nothing wrong with that. make sure latina girls know that they are beautiful and loved!!!

What other types of opossums do you like? (To add to the other two opossum asks)

you know when i was drawin those i didnt realize how many species of opossums there were, like a bunch of em that i had no idea about because theres only one kind in north america ( the virginia opossum )

BUT theres so many of them everywhere else ! like water opossums, which have webbed hind feet and pouches on both males and females

and the patagonian opossum, which has a small clubbed tail that gets really thick during the winter and lives only in one specific region of argentina

and a ton of different mouse opossums thatre all super small ( and sometimes really hard to tell apart from each other )

the one below is called the woolly mouse opossum and its an ADULT its never gettin any bigger

Attention all broke people!

If you’re ever hungry and have no money, go to iHop and order a short stack of pancakes (I usually order as carryout). The receipt they print for you, has a URL and a phone number to a survey. Once you complete the survey, they’ll give you a code to get a free short stack of pancakes. You can apply it to your order.

It’s not much, but it’s free.

shoutout to the kids that are questioning if they’re aromantic or on the aro spectrum because they’ve never been in a relationship or never felt like they’ve had a real crush, especially when friends seem to be all over other people and they feel like they’re missing out. you’re valid and important and not broken. you’re still discovering who you are and that’s what matters.

“Fat acceptance” blogs urging overweight people to shed negative feelings about their body image can lead to healthier diet and exercise choices, a study has found.

The fat acceptance movement, which seeks to foster a support network among overweight people, has inspired a plethora of blogs and web forums such as Corpulent, Fat Heffalump and The Rotund — an online community that’s become known as the “fatosphere”.

In a study published in the journal Qualitative Health Research, researchers from Monash University, the University of New England and the University of Canberra interviewed 44 fatosphere bloggers from Australia, the US and the UK about how their involvement in the movement had changed them.

“There’s been a lot of criticism of the movement that it promotes obesity and encourages people to give up on weight loss and makes their health worse,” said one of the researchers, Dr Samantha Thomas, a Senior Research Fellow at Monash University’s Department of Marketing.

“We saw there was a lot of opinion about the movement but very few people had actually studied it.”

Interviews with the respondents revealed many had experienced feelings of worthlessness, shame, crash diets, cycles of starvation and binge eating and laxative abuse before discovering the fatosphere.

“Having that support and feeling empowered, people slowly found that their health behaviours began to change dramatically. For example, many people suddenly felt confident to do swimming, something they would not have done before,” she said.

“People shifted their focus away from weight loss and more toward health. A lot of people started to take part in physical activity not as a way to lose weight but because they enjoyed it. Instead of pounding it out on the treadmill they start playing with their kids. It’s actually a massive shift in the way they looked at things.”

Shifting the focus away from restricting food and toward listening to the body’s needs could also lead to better food choices, said Dr Thomas.

“There are actually a lot of lessons for public health here,” she said.

“The term fat acceptance is really confronting for people. That’s why we have seen a lot of blame and criticism. Society tells us it’s not OK to be fat for a whole bunch of moral and medical reasons,” she said.

“This study shows that far from promoting obesity and promoting negative health behaviours, the movement is really positive for some people’s health.”
