There’s a lot of stuff I share on the Internet every day. Here’s a weekly round up of the things I most enjoyed last week by category.
Inspiration
- Body Image(s) Project. Women’s bodies are beautiful in all sorts of shapes (men’s are too, as far as I’m concerned).
- The things that no one will tell fat girls, by The Militant Baker. There are so many gems in this, but I think this one is my favorite, “The second you stop looking for a skinny model in your mirror and start looking at YOU… is the second you will start to appreciate what you are. Stop looking for flaws. Stop looking for differences. You are perfect. You are more than enough. You are the best thing that has ever happened to you. And you are fucking beautiful.”
- Make good art. Sound advice from Neil Gaiman.
Nifty
- Reactions to Westboro Baptist Church reacting to Jason Collins coming out. I love that this happened in Oklahoma City.
- The moment the lead singer of a band realizes they’ve ‘made it.’ Also could be called ‘that magic that keeps creating music fans and musicians.’
Oh, I love the Militant Baker post. That’s lovely.
“You are the best thing that’s ever happened to you.”
If I were a tattoo kind of girl, I would just go ahead and ink that on my forearm.
Since I’m not, I’m just going to put it in my notebook and look at it all the time. 🙂
