Eating disorders are rarely ever portrayed accurately on tv. They aren’t just skipping lunch one day or thinking a certain outfit makes you look fat. It starts out simple and innocent, until one day it’s not. It goes from throwing up because you ate so much food you got sick, to becoming addicted to the way your stomach feels emptier after getting rid of the food in it. It goes from restricting a normal amount of food, to crying because you ate twice in one day. Eating disorders are not pretty. It’s grades slipping because you don’t have the energy to study and you can’t concentrate in class because the only thing you’re thinking about is how you can get through dinner tonight without eating. It’s ruining friendships because you cancel every plan you make, terrified it’ll involve eating. It’s not having any consistency in your life. Some days you’ll eat and not feel guilty. Other days you’ll want to tear your skin apart after one bite. It’s knowing you need help but not having the first clue how to ask for it. Because how do you ask for help if you aren’t even sure you want it.

17-year-old Ahed Tamimi gets eight months in prison after a plea deal. Palestinian teen activist was arrested after a video of her slapping and hitting two Israeli soldiers went viral. The best I can say is at least she hasn't mysteriously died while in Israeli custody.

if you remember how damaging and crazy hateful he was when he served as UN Ambassador during the Bush years then you understand why he's the most dangerous man in amerikkka now that he has so much more power. His answer to EVERYTHING is "preemptive strike."
#UFW #CesarChavezDay A great man and another one of my heroes… “Kindness and compassion towards all living things is a mark of a civilized society. Conversely, cruelty, whether it is directed against human beings or against animals, is not the exclusive province of any one culture or community of people.”- Cesar Chavez

#Saint Patrick’s Day Wishing everyone a Happy St Patrick's Day. Remember why you're celebrating and the what the end result must be. Tell Great Britain to get the fu*k out of Ireland. Long live the I R A and Sinn Féin...
Always be thankful and you will always have something to be thankful for. I did this piece because I do give thanks every day, for what I have and for what I don't have. I do not mean this in a religious way, although too many have interpreted this as a religious exercise on my part. I am an Atheist, but, giving thanks does not mean I don't believe in something bigger than me. God is just a word, you can substitute the word with many words, universe or energy, vibrations, soul, nature, frequency, karma, a higher level of consciousness. Point is, it doesn’t matter which word you use, or what or whom you believe in, although I know it’s not an entity I can identify. The important thing is if it brings you peace and purpose and awareness, that’s all that matters...
Story of my life...
too many times I've been asked "what's the matter, what's wrong with you?", "why can't you be more normal?" I don't know why, I don't know how to explain me and how I see and feel things... but this came to me in the midst of a very intense daydream of despair. And it just clicked in my head. This is why, it's all I have, it’s all I can say... There's no other way to explain it...
20 Calorie Per Pint Vegan Ice Cream
OKAY OKAY OKAY I’m so excited for this one because it’s SO GOOD and SO LOW CALORIE, it’s also high in protein, low carb and pretty much fat free! Get ready for this y’all because this is one of my favourite recipes~
Ingredients (makes 2 pints):
1 cup aquafaba - the water from a can of chickpeas (40 kcal)*
1 tbsp granulated stevia (0 kcal)**
0.5 cup granulated Splenda or other 0 cal sweetener of choice (0 kcal)
OPTIONAL: 1 tsp imitation extract OR 1 tbsp 0 cal syrup of choice (0 kcal)
*You could use the water from any can of beans, but I find that chickpea water has the least bean-y flavour.
**I found adding a bit of stevia helps it set up and get a thicker consistency, but you can omit this if you don’t have stevia.
How to:
Pour your aquafaba into a bowl, add your sweetener and stevia (if using) and whip with an electric mixer until stiff peaks (when you lift the mixer out of the bowl, a little mountain should form and hold its shape even if you jiggle the bowl).
This may take some time! It’s usually around 6-10 minutes for me, less if you refrigerate the aquafaba beforehand.
Add your imitation extract/syrup (if using) and whip it into the mixture until incorporated. Be careful not to add too much, especially if you’re using syrup, so that it doesn’t get too liquidy!
Transfer into a freezer-safe container and freeze overnight.
Enjoy some bomb-ass low calorie ice cream!
This is how to teach a child morality, not with religion but with respect and compassion for all living things.
This is what happens when a child discovers where meat comes from… Our natural reaction before society tells us it’s “Okay”.

Aries: Stop running from your past just because it was ugly. Just because it left you scarred and scared. You are more then your past, but you have to stop running from it to overcome it. Your demons won’t go away till you face them. Taurus: Learn to be at peace with yourself before you try and make yourself be at peace with someone else. You’ll never find the answers you’re looking for inside someone else. You’ll never recover if all you can ever do is become a clone of someone else. Gemini: Don’t be afraid to ask for help every now and again. It isn’t the worst thing that could happen. There are much scarier things then having to give up your ego. As much as it hurts, it’s so much healthier then isolation. Cancer: Don’t dull your shine for anyone, or anything. People get scared of things that are too bright. Too much for their small minds and eyes to handle. It just means that these, aren’t your people. Having people who have standards and who can handle you is hard, but worth it. Leo: Roar. Let people be scared of you. It’s not a bad thing to be intimating. It’s not a bad thing that some people are scared. You are not a monster just cause you’re scary. Someone needs to be scary to protect the people who aren’t. Someone needs to be able to protect the weak. Virgo: You can’t rewind time, but that doesn’t mean you have to give in to the trauma and the fighting inside your mind. You’ve been dealing with demons for so long all you know how to do is roll over to them. Get up and fight. Please. Libra: You do not have to be okay with your abusers. You don’t have to make yourself smaller so they can have room. You deserve as much space as they do. You are not the problem here. You have never been the problem. Scorpio: You grew up too fast, and no one is saying sorry for that, so I will. I’m sorry that you had to grow up so fast before you even knew who you were. I’m sorry for what they did for you. But you are in such a better place because of it. So much smarter than the rest of us. Sagittarius: Killing yourself even slowly isn’t pretty. Stop glorifying knives and cigarettes and late night suicide notes. I know it’s tempting to fall back on these old habits because they are what you know, but you deserve more. Capricorn: You know this is just the small stuff. You know that this isn’t world ending. But it still hurts. It’s still scary. It’s okay to be scared. It’s okay to be hurt. It’s okay to feel things even over the small stuff. You deserve the right to feel. Aquarius: You’ve felt the gravity on your chest for so long. It won’t be there forever, and when you can finally breathe the world will be at your fingertips. You’ve spent forever fighting. Imagine what you can do once you’re really free. Pisces: Staying silent is the same approval sometimes. I know it’s hard to raise your voice or make a scene, but don’t be afraid to do it. Standing alone sucks, but what’s worse is looking in the mirror and hating who you’ve become.
