Wear your scars like jewels

Wear your scars like jewels Some things about me:

I love art, foreign films, reading, travel, and human rights.

Favorite artist of all time: Georgia O'Keefe.
Favorite movie of all time: La Haine
Favorite book of all time: There is not enough room here for that... Nerd alert...

“Travel cures nationalism”. Travel changes you; you step off the plane as a different person than when you stepped on. If you look at the world in the same way as you did before you traveled, you’re doing it wrong…

I frequently blog about issues that concern women and the disenfranchised as well as other global affairs. I also blog about body image issues. I'm confident most days, but for the days I'm not, I have to remind myself to wear my scars like jewels... I hope you can too, because "God has beautifully crafted you”....

A-fucking-men. Seriously, this whole battle between the sizes is ridiculous. We women should be standing up and supporting each other instead of trying to tear each other apart. 

Whenever I see groups cut into pieces by bullshit infighting over minutia or divisive black-and-white thinking like “which is more beautiful”, all I get from it is “Oh, I’m so glad I’m an Alpha! It must be so terribly dull to be a Beta or a Delta!”
Because holy shit sizefighters, you’re still seeing yourself through the eyes of the people who built the goddamn prison you claim to want to break out of.
What a waste of valuable energy. What a brilliant way to ensure the inmates don’t ever actually accomplish anything.
Get your variously padded asses in gear and let’s jump the jailers instead of each other.

I usually try not to reblog things like this (Try to keep my tumbls kinda easygoing, etc) but i’ve been seeing so much of the ‘skinny girls are ugly, REAL women are curvy’ bullshit everywhere that I feel this is exactly the kind of response that needs to be shared.
Dear Everyone,
Your intentions are good, I can tell, but bringing down one type of person just to boost up another is kinda awful. You are still disciminating against a body type. As long as they are healthy, they’re fine.
Love,
Abby

I have been thinking this all day. Thankfully, someone else already put it into better words than I could have. [:

Reblogging for both the fabulous message and also ‘variously padded asses’.
