Ultimately The Good Place posited the thesis that if we’re all kind to each other, if we all try to contribute meaningfully and lovingly to one another’s lives, maybe — just maybe — everything will be fine

Oh to be a repressed late-victorian man and have your Companion tm call you by your first name,
“Why are you Like This.”
“Severe childhood trauma.”
“Oh.”
“Also, I’m gay.”

This weekend I was told a story which, although I’m kind of ashamed to admit it, because holy shit is it ever obvious, is kind of blowing my mind.
A friend of a friend won a free consultation with Clinton Kelly of What Not To Wear, and she was very excited, because she has a plus-size body, and wanted some tips on how to make the most of her wardrobe in a fashion culture which deliberately puts her body at a disadvantage.
Her first question for him was this: how do celebrities make a plain white t-shirt and a pair of weekend jeans look chic? She always assumed it was because so many celebrities have, by nature or by design, very slender frames, and because they can afford very expensive clothing. But when she watched What Not To Wear, she noticed that women of all sizes ended up in cute clothes that really fit their bodies and looked great. She had tried to apply some guidelines from the show into her own wardrobe, but with only mixed success. So - what gives?
His answer was that everything you will ever see on a celebrity’s body, including their outfits when they’re out and about and they just get caught by a paparazzo, has been tailored, and the same goes for everything on What Not To Wear. Jeans, blazers, dresses - everything right down to plain t-shirts and camisoles. He pointed out that historically, up until the last few generations, the vast majority of people either made their own clothing or had their clothing made by tailors and seamstresses. You had your clothing made to accommodate the measurements of your individual body, and then you moved the fuck on. Nothing on the show or in People magazine is off the rack and unaltered. He said that what they do is ignore the actual size numbers on the tags, find something that fits an individual’s widest place, and then have it completely altered to fit. That’s how celebrities have jeans that magically fit them all over, and the rest of us chumps can’t ever find a pair that doesn’t gape here or ride up or slouch down or have about four yards of extra fabric here and there.
I knew that having dresses and blazers altered was probably something they were doing, but to me, having alterations done generally means having my jeans hemmed and then simply living with the fact that I will always be adjusting my clothing while I’m wearing it because I have curves from here to ya-ya, some things don’t fit right, and the world is just unfair that way. I didn’t think that having everything tailored was something that people did.
It’s so obvious, I can’t believe I didn’t know this. But no one ever told me. I was told about bikini season and dieting and targeting your “problem areas” and avoiding horizontal stripes. No one told me that Jennifer Aniston is out there wearing a bigger size of Ralph Lauren t-shirt and having it altered to fit her.
I sat there after I was told this story, and I really thought about how hard I have worked not to care about the number or the letter on the tag of my clothes, how hard I have tried to just love my body the way it is, and where I’ve succeeded and failed. I thought about all the times I’ve stood in a fitting room and stared up at the lights and bit my lip so hard it bled, just to keep myself from crying about how nothing fits the way it’s supposed to. No one told me that it wasn’t supposed to. I guess I just didn’t know. I was too busy thinking that I was the one that didn’t fit.
I thought about that, and about all the other girls and women out there whose proportions are “wrong,” who can’t find a good pair of work trousers, who can’t fill a sweater, who feel excluded and freakish and sad and frustrated because they have to go up a size, when really the size doesn’t mean anything and it never, ever did, and this is just another bullshit thing thrown in your path to make you feel shitty about yourself.
I thought about all of that, and then I thought that in elementary school, there should be a class for girls where they sit you down and tell you this stuff before you waste years of your life feeling like someone put you together wrong.
So, I have to take that and sit with it for a while. But in the meantime, I thought perhaps I should post this, because maybe my friend, her friend, and I are the only clueless people who did not realise this, but maybe we’re not. Maybe some of you have tried to embrace the arbitrary size you are, but still couldn’t find a cute pair of jeans, and didn’t know why.
These all have such character. I am in love
Of every piece of art you’ve created, which are you the most proud of? Which is your personal favorite?
I don’t have a favourite drawing. I like my drawings to some degree, none of them is perfect but some of them are quite ok to me, however it’s still a bit hard to be proud of my drawings because there are a lot of art pieces that I can’t show everyone (read: irl people) without feeling embarrased (that means: weird fanart, most of my ocs, interactions like hugging or kissing, definitely nsfw things, comics, silly things, hot guys) because it’s hard to say “oh look at my emotions and what happens in my head, I’m so proud of it”, it always feels like showing too much.
Anyway, these are some of the drawings I (personally) still like (I could add one comic I like but it’s nsfw so I decided against it but I like the poses I used there).

“Can I borrow underwear?” I asked. “Sure!” she said. “Take these, they’re comfortable! Thongs are comfortable.”
Formal complaint, Vivs: Your underwear is in my butt
Will I ever regain the ability to walk as I once did? Or am I forced to waddle the streets with a face contorted in pain, like Psyduck in lingerie

been at this starbucks for 6 straight hours. never went to bed last night, listened to a jazz cover of old town road all morning, and drove here after class. i pulled a mug the size of a bowling ball out of my purse. they filled it. what babes. since i finished my drink i’ve been eating raw coffee beans (please don’t ask where i got them). i haven’t moved except to occasionally smile at the baristas. i know i should go home, but nothing feels real
me: Yeah so like I’m over it. Want a bean?

yoyoyoyo I’ve always wanted to get into star trek but there is So Much and it’s overwhelming. What’s a safe, gentle path into the world of ⭐️ track?
yea its... there’s so much isn't there?
i think they best way to get into trek is to pick either the original series (tos) or the next generation (tng) and just make your way through at your leisure
although there’s plenty of overlap between each series, they are self contained enough that you could really start with any of them, but i recommend tos bc its the first (and my favorite) and tng because its widely regarded as the best trek
if you like what you see, you can either start moving through all the series by release date order (or if you started with tng, backtrack for tos, and THEN move on) like im doing, or you can call it quits where you are. both being valid options. the first one making you a huge nerd though
hope that helps. star trek is good so wherever you start youre gonna have a good time
She’s definitely a lesbian. I don’t blame her for not knowing it in that time period though. We love Jo, suppressed desires and all
watched Little Women yesterday and at the part where Jo is turning down Laurie and saying “I just can’t feel that way about you, I don’t know why” the girl behind me went “Is she a lesbian?... Oh my god I think she’s a lesbian”... god I WISH
