Most immortals become the angsty “everyone I have ever loved is gone” kind of immortal. You, on the other hand, instead took it upon yourself to be a loving presence to entire generations of your chosen family, because they are descended from someone you once loved long ago.

It's honestly such a shame that we've made such a huge thing out of swimming and swimsuits and looking good in swimsuits and fat people not looking good in swimsuits. Swimming is actually the perfect exercise for fat people because it puts zero pressure on the joints, which is a much bigger concern for us than it is for skinny people, and lets you exercise basically every muscle group without straining too much and risking injury. Yet somehow this is one of the least accessible exercises to fat people due to nothing more than a culture of body shaming. The work to unlearn all the shame to be comfortable in a bathing suit in front of strangers is huge even for conventionally attractive people, but I could probably count on one hand the number of fat people I've met who were confident enough to get in a bathing suit and go swimming in public.

And what is the exercise that somehow everyone thinks they should do instead? Jogging. It's more accessible, sure, it's easy and costs nothing to go outside and run. But I need you to understand telling a fat person to go running is basically telling them to go destroy their knees. Not to mention it's probably one of the most physically uncomfortable exercises to do when you have a body that jiggles even with compression garments.

Imagine a world where everyone had the ability and equal access to whatever exercise fit them best and helped them be happy and healthiest. Imagine a world where fat people go swimming.

Oh shit, Tim Walz.

“I know basic gun safety isn’t a threat to my rights. It’s about keeping our kids safe,” Walz said last month about his evolution on the issue. “I had an ‘A’ rating from the NRA. Now I get straight ‘F’s.’ And I sleep just fine.”

He was beloved by the NRA. When Parkland happened, his daughter was 17. She asked him to do more. I guess he doesn't do shit by half because not only reformed gun control, he donated all the money the NRA ever gave him to charity, and now has straight Fs. In 2016 he was a 'top 20 politician for guns' He turned it that fast.

I know this is the website of catholic guilt structures, but the idea of a politician that changes their mind, doesn't pretend it was different before, admits he was wrong, and then gets shit done? I adore that.

I did not expect him, so I have not done my learning yet, this was one of the first things I saw. And Damn.

I think sometimes, Lady Aphrodite shows Herself in certain appearances in order to show Her worshippers and devotees that everybody is beautiful. For me personally, She has appeared in a body with vitiligo to show me that my vitiligo is beautiful, She has appeared with scars to show me they are beautiful, and so many other things.

All people are beautiful, and She likes to show that.

Meet the Artist: @juhuachai

Hi everyone, my name is Jazz (she/they)! I’m a professional lab rat, a hobby/freelance artist, and a full-time appreciator of handsome women. Art has played a huge role in the way I see the world and express myself. I love to explore different perspectives with OCs and create collaborative stories with my friends. When not in the lab or on my tablet, you can find me daydreaming about my friends’ OCs or trying to trick their cats into loving me.

Nice to meet you, Jazz! Below are some pieces she has shared with you all.

Check out more of Jazz’s work over at @juhuachai!

We got the reservation confirmation today so we haev less than five days before we gotta be outta here, and that means less than five days to get enough money to move our shit to the new location and also have groceries for when we settle in. If anyone wants to help us out, even a little bit, it would be supremely appreciated and also start us off on the right foot for what may finally be stable ground under our feet for the first time in years. 🥹

in regards to the whole last name thing, I've always thought Katniss takes Peeta's not only because she probably sees that as 'what you do when you go to the justice building so whatever' but also to be like 'i'm your family' to Peeta because I think that's like a big trauma spot for him -- having no family whatsoever -- so I think that's like a cute little thing they do. I also picture her jokingly saying that now she can call it her bakery rather than his bakery because she's obviously the most famous Mellark (that's part of the joke, they're obviously both painfully famous).

Also, like, I don't see her ever being like "Oh I actually changed my name so its Mellark now" unless it's a highly specific circumstance. I don't think she cares if someone calls her 'Ms. Everdeen!' by accident. Also, I think she takes great joy in somehow diverting all her annoying reporter mail or fan mail because 'he he Katniss Everdeen doesn't have a mailing address!' until someone figures out they should just mail their shit to Katniss Mellark.

Also Katniss Mellark sounds cool.
