just because depression gets better temporarily does not mean
- that it went away
- is gone forever
- the person was faking it
- or they did it on purpose
- it wasn’t as bad as they thought it was
- it’s not really depression
- they were having a bad day/week/month/year
- you know what depression is like for that person
- they needed a change of scenery/friends/wardrobe/jobs
- that you can make jokes about it
- that they can control it

Now you have a legit reason to do so.
Science has found that compressing the cells in breasts will decrease the chance of malignant cells growing in the tissue. So playing with boobs can help prevent breast cancer. So play with your boobs! Play with your partner’s boobs! It’s healthy!
This may be the best news. Ever. Of all time.
excellent
“Leo the lion, Shere Khan the tiger and Baloo the bear were found together as cubs during a police raid of a drug baron’s home in Atlanta. When the young trio moved to Noah’s Ark rescue center in Locust Grove, Ga., zookeepers decided to keep them together, and they all still live and play in their very own habitat. Visitors can watch the 1,000-pound bear, 350-pound lion and 350-pound tiger cuddle, lounge and wrestle together, and zoo Co-Founder Jama Hedgecoth says the animals are oblivious to the fact that they aren’t natural companions.”Oh my.
babies
i really like stickers but at the same time i don’t because once you stick them somewhere that’s it, it’s finished, and i’m just not emotionally stable enough for that responsibility

Beautiful cover photograph by Asim Hafeez of Malala Yousafzai, who topped the short list for TIME’s 2012 Person of the Year.
can we all just acknowledge that she’s the real person of the year?
Stop. Please.
I have to disagree with you all not because Malala isn’t an inspiration for many but because your consistent spotlight on this child is proving to be extremely dangerous for her and those who were injured along with her (but conveniently forgotten). Schoolgirls injured with Malala Yousafzai fear becoming symbol for women.
I’m Pakistani. Hear me out.
There must be a course on ethics when it comes to reporting on children in war zones. This obsession with this young girl and her rightfully strong views is proving to become detrimental for those in Swat, Pakistan. This symbolizing renders these young girls into targets.
Furthermore, you have Laura Bush - of all the people - cheering for this child. Laura Bush is the same woman who used women’s rights and feminism as an excuse to talk over Afghan and Iraqi women and to gain more (liberal) support for the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. I am thoroughly disappointed to see otherwise well-to-do individuals using this cover and issue so irresponsibly. If you want to support educational programs in South Asia and the Middle East, you must stop using images and voices of children to further this cause. They become targets. More girls will be seen as “evil” because of this.
It is also extremely important to see how Malala’s case is being used to justify other forms of violence to “correct” the patriarchy in Swat. This kind of support is co-opted by imperialist forces. Jadaliyya notes: “The hawks of war have seized on Malala not only as the symbol of a cause to be championed, but also as a means of legitimizing their own policies and tactics.”
If you genuinely want Malala to be the Person of the Year, stop using her as a symbol. Work on her cause. Stop using her as a symbol of resistance; It turns her and her kind into targets for more violence.

I thought I would share a photo from my recent shoot. I am a USA size 16 and I am so proud of who I am. Being a modified plus-size model I have gotten a lot of love. I recently got an email from a girl stating that she saw me on a body positive blog and told me that I inspire her and that my photos have helped her to accept who she is and feel beautiful. I am so thankful for the love and support! I wish to show more people that you can be big, beautiful, modified, healthy, or who ever you identify with AND be loved! I just want each and everyone of you to know that you ARE beautiful. Don’t let anyone ever take that from you.
You can find me and the rest of the photos from the photoshoot at Pinkandinked.tumblr.com!
