Weird Dream

Just woke up from a dream that it was my daddy’s bday and he and mommy came to see my brazilian ensemble concert which was in goldstein auditorium.  I played my repenique part on the timbal during the maracatus because i couldn’t find my repenique.  I asked Mr. D if he’d seen it after the maracatus and he pointed me to it.  I got my drum and then started leading samba reggae.  They broke into gospel song during the speed up and I couldn’t get them back on track.  The gospel song ended, and the reverend got on stage.  He said that this was fun, but we really want to give the Brazilian ensemble their time to finish the show so it wouldn’t go on until all hours of the night and then I woke up O.o…

So three events here…my daddy’s bday, which is on saturday coincides with the fyp production of “Drowsy Chaperone,” which I’m in the pit for.  This takes place at Goldstein Auditorium and the cast frequently bursts into song…although it’s not gospel.  I attribute the reverend getting up on stage to Hanna yelling at everyone to get back on track during rehearsal so we finish before we get kicked out at midnight.  My Brazilian ensemble concert is on tuesday in Setnor Auditorium and I quite frequently get nervous about leading samba reggae…mix these scenarios together and you get my dream…awkwardddd.

Pictures of fat bodies help to normalize fat bodies. Bubble baths help to soothe the soul!

Normalizing unhealthy body types and eating? Weird. Unlike race and sex, being obese is a choice, not something thrust upon you at birth.

You know all about my medical history and what I had to eat today? Weird. Unlike conversations about subjective things like hairstyle preference, being ignorant and prejudiced is a choice, and is also something that begins to be cultivated at birth. 

Guess what, bonehead. My worth isn’t dependent on whether or not you’d like to get up on this. Fuck off.

Whenever someone says their body weight/shape is a choice God kills a kitten.

lol r u for real, your weight is definitely a lifestyle choice, unless you have serious health problems that restrict you from losing fat on your body, there is no reasonable explanation for why you cant work hard to tone it off in a healthy manner. your body shape is different, not a choice, thats your bone structure and other concrete builds of your body that you CANNOT change, however, you can definitely change the fact that you are fat or thin (either way). how the fuck can you dispute that?! we see it every day!

that awkward moment when people believe that thin people can eat tons of junk food and never exercise and not be fat but can’t fathom that fat people can eat healthy and exercise and still be fat

What? Did you just say that bodies are complicated and every person’s body doesn’t react the same to everything? NO WAY.

hey! everyone is built differently im not disputing that! i know a thin thin thin girl who eats nothing but crap and i guess her metabolism is just really fast and it just be like that! she gets a lot of crap for people thinking shes anorexic even though thats false. if you are big and eating right and exercising you should be able to lose weight. keep in mind that a lot of people do not understand that with exercise you need versatility or you will hit a plateau, with eating right its not just about what you eat but how much too.

fuck im not arguing about this

people can be so stupid sometimes

YOU CAN HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT IF YOU WANT IT ENOUGH

no one besides you can give you this.

Unless you’ve been overweight, you don’t have a single fucking idea what it’s like to be overweight and you can shut yo ugly ass mouth right now. When you’re a kid and you get used to eating a lot because that’s what your parents eat, your stomach expands. When your stomach expands you can eat more food than when you’re full. That’s why I’m still losing weight after months of having a stabilized eating disorder. When you force yourself not to eat, or to get rid of it, your stomach shrinks and then you eat normal portions again.

There are people who will bitch about how they can’t imagine how “fat” people can eat so much. Well, take your stomach and triple it in size and then imagine how much weight you’re going to gain. You also have to look at metabolic rate changes. Someone who’s been thin their whole life can suddenly become overweight or obese when their body stops metabolizing food the same way.

What needs to change is food culture. I don’t know about everybody else, but in the South all of the cheap food is unhealthy. If you want to eat better, you’re going to have to spend a lot more money unless you’re willing to eat bread and crackers only (which is how my mom survived the 80’s). I got a gallon of ice cream for 3.15 the other day. My mom paid well over that for the asparagus that we finished in just one meal. The portions we’re served are absolutely outrageous- take the Trenta cup at Starbucks… it’s bigger than the average human stomach yet everyday at work I see people down them like a shot of espresso.

Is everyone who’s overweight or obese that way because of something medical? No. There are things called psychological issues, too. Listen, someone who obese probably has about as much control over it as someone with anorexia or bulimia. Do they have the decision? Yes. However, you can become addicted to the rush that eating gives you. For some people it may be the most dopamine they get all day because everyone who knows them is a complete asshole (when you’re obese or overweight, you’ll find more people are dicks to you). Bulimics binge, they simply purge afterwards. What if some obese people binge, just without the purging? We certainly don’t want to encourage them to start purging. And you would never, ever, ever tell an anorexic or bulimic person that they look bad. You really shouldn’t ever tell anybody that they look bad. So don’t do it with obese people, either.

You don’t know what caused them to become obese, or overweight. And because you don’t, you have to right to criticize someone else.

“Being obese is a choice”

^You, madame, deserve a special place in hell. Nobody in their right mind would choose to be obese (overweight to a completely unhealthy degree- certainly some people would rather be curvy but there’s nothing wrong with that). And if you DO want to be overweight to an unhealthy degree, then I think that means you have a problem and need to see a psychologist.

Most of the people on this thread seem relatively sane and those who don’t… I’m going to go ahead and assume you’re about 14. Just giving you the benefit of the doubt. Please go take some psych classes and learn about other people’s bodies. You don’t want to drive someone you know into an eating disorder just because you don’t like the way they look or think it’s unhealthy. Many well placed comments (believe me, I’ve received them) towards trying to get someone to eat well and exercise will just end up with them bent over the toilet bowl waiting for dinner to come back up. 

Don’t scar someone emotionally for life. That just makes you a dickbag.

reblogging for this ^

Suzy Smith, ”Dessert

wanna read/hear something absolutely hilarious? (note sarcasm)

i submitted this painting of mine to this blog and they told me that it was too risque and erotic. but they decide to post this…of a white girl…being referred to as dessert. 

did something in the world change while i was sleeping? is this not erotic?

don’t you know that naked black girl automatically = slut?

esp if she’s high femme?

a naked white girl, however = art, forever and always.

the tumblr was clearly protecting the delicate sensibilities of it’s followers. as well as their aesthetics. of course.

^^

how fucking typical. fuck the art world.

^^

I wouldn’t hate on the art world at large.

I would just hate on the blog.

No need to throw out all art because one blog is being a racist douche.

ugh…that’s so typical.



you-dont-compare:

Indeed.

i felt i needed this on my blog…idk why exactly :)



want.
