BMI isnât a good measure of anything, it is merely a tool of oppression.
Itâs built on data from white abled perisex cis men & reduces complex bodies to a single number.
The entire assumption that once you reach a certain weight youâre automatically unhealthy is untrue.
EDIT: I also wanted to add that BMI doesnât even account for what percent of your weight comes from fat and what percent comes from muscle yâall. It literally labels folks who are âtoo muscularâ as âoverweightâ or âobeseâ.

Consider this (based on a conversation I had with some friends a while ago): Pride and Prejudice and Zombies for people who actually like Pride and Prejudice. LookâI tried to read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and I got about 20 pages in before I came to the conclusion that the person who wrote it did so out of the belief that the original Pride and Prejudice was stuffy and boring. There were out of character vulgar puns. And the trailer for the movie did not convince me that I had missed anything by cutting short my reading experience. So, what Iâm talking about here is this premise: the world of Pride and Prejudice, but if you die, itâs highly likely, almost certain that your corpse will get up and try to eat people. But no one dies in Pride and Prejudice, you might say. In fact, few or no people die in any Jane Austen novel. This is true. But people do get sick with some regularity. Imagine the tension added to Jane getting sick after going to visit Bingley if there was the chance that she would become a zombie after she died. Becoming a zombie in an eligible bachelorâs house probably would have seriously wrecked any chances of any of the living sisters ending up with him. Imagine Mr. Collins, as a minister, having the duty upon someoneâs death of severing their head with a ceremonial plate or something that would prevent the corpse from rising. Obviously important, but this only makes him more self-important and obnoxious. And dangerous. For you see, in this version, Mr. Bennett, who stays in his office all the time, whose life is the only thing allowing Mrs. Bennett and her daughters to stay in the houseâMr. Bennett is definitely a zombie. He died at home, and Mrs. Bennett decided that, no way were they dealing with this, and soâŚjust started faking it. Jane and Elizabeth know. The younger sisters donât. In this universe, I think we have to go with zombies that are not any faster or stronger than the humans they were, and in fact tend to get weaker as time passes because their flesh is rotting. AndâŚhmm, okay, how about they are pretty violent upon rising, and for about a week afterward, trying to bite people and spread the infection (even though most people are carriers anyway, but getting a nasty bite from a corpse will give you other stuff that will have you die while carrying the virus). But then they calm down and basically just start sort of attempting to act like they did in life, that is, taking habitual actions with no consciousness, in a depressing and desiccated way. So Mr. Bennett is a zombie, and Mrs. Bennettâs number one goal is to get her daughters married before anyone finds that out. And this, actually, makes Elizabethâs refusal of Mr. Collins more frustrating for Mrs. Bennettâobviously Mr. Bennett didnât tell Elizabeth that she could refuse Mr. Collins, because Mr. Bennett is dead, but Mrs. Bennett canât say anything or the game would be up. Another question in this versionâdoes Mr. Darcy find out about Mr. Bennett being a zombie somehow? Does Elizabeth find out that he knows and didnât say anything and this is something that helps repair his earlier actions? Anyway, this is the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies that I was looking for.
Okay also: in the original, when Elizabeth walks through the rain all the way to bingleyâs to care for Jane while sheâs sick, itâs a very dramatic expression of both Elizabethâs love for her sister and her penchant for flamboyant rebellion, but consider, if there is a chance Jane will wake up a zombie and Elizabeth knows it, how does that change the dynamic? Elizabeth might be going to help take care of Jane, or to *take care* of Jane should things take a more morbid turnâŚby killing her zombie sister.
This works especially well if zombieism is communicable prior to death; if mr. Bennett is a zombie and only the elder Bennetts know, that means Jane has been pre-exposed and is almost certain to wake up as a zombie should she die in the Bingleysâ careâ which the Bingleys do not know. Elizabeth has to forge through the rain to be there in case things get ugly, because she knows that the Bingleys arenât prepared.
And I think you pretty much HAVE to make Mr. Bennettâs zombie status play a role in how and why Darcy separates Bingley from Janeâthe heavy implication behind Darcyâs line about the want of propriety shown even by her father hits Elizabeth like a ton of bricks as she realizes he knowsâhe knows, and he thought Jane lying to Bingley about it was evidence that Jane didnât love Bingleyâbutâbut Darcy must not have told Bingley that part of it. Bingley couldnât keep a secret on his life; if he knew, his sister would know, and word would already be out and theyâd have been ruined by nowâ
And of course, not only does the fact that Darcy, who owes their family nothing, has kept and continues to keep this secret for them even after Elizabethâs refusal deepen the gratitude she begins to feel for him after the letter of explanation, but it also liberates Elizabeth to fall in love with him. Because Elizabeth-who-wants-to-marry-for-love would never be happy marrying someone who didnât know the family secret in advance. She had resigned herself to spinsterhood because she couldnât be satisfied with having to hoodwink someone to have their hand, but also couldnât put her family at risk by trusting someone who wasnât bound to them by more than an engagement. (Maybe she was even tempted to confide in Wickham at one point, and hasnât Darcyâs letter proven she was absolutely right not to yield to that passing thought.) But Darcy figured it out himself, and heâs kept her trust, and she could fall in love with him without guiltâif she hadnât already turned him down.
AND THEN LYDIA HAPPENS. And Darcy realizes immediately that Mr. Bennett canât do anything to recover herâand if Mr. Bennett doesnât do anything about Lydia, Mr. Collins might become suspicious, or even just officously involve himself, so find out the while thing. When Darcy blames himself for not revealing Wickhamâs character, itâs with a much more immediate sense of urgency. Itâs not that the other sistersâ marriage prospects being ruined may impoverish them down the roadâit might immediately drag them all into destitution. Thatâs why he rushes off to go look for Lydia himself.

Landscape Process
I got some request for my process with backgrounds after the Onsen, so this will be a step-by-step-ish doumentation for an American Southwest landscape.
BIG. ASS. CANVAS. like at least one side should be 5000 pixels
Get a shitload of references:
Yeah 42 is enough
3. Rifle through them and sort into ones that feel related to you, or have elements you want to collage together. Make a note of this part on the tumblr post to explain where the fuck you are for the next 6-10 hours.
4. Or, uh. Seventeen minutes. Kinda slapped and scaled them in approximately the size and location I want them.
5. Now I'm gonna spend an outrageous amount of time isolating the exact thing I want from these references and Paper-dolling theminto place
Side note: You want to keep all the references from as close to the same perspective as possible. This is a pretty flat front-on angle so that's not hard but something on a hill is a BITCH.
6. Okay, now I have everything in approximately the size and location I think I want it to be. All the pieces are on different layers, so I'm going to sketch the individual layers and tweak them into place and sorta quilt them together into a coherent Outline. These are totally real technical terms.
7. This outlining art Takes A While (TM). 3 hours in so far.
It's worth it tho, not because I'm using the outline as much in the final composition, but this intensely studied loutline helps me get REALLY familiar with the shapes of everything, which is REALLY important when I pick out my Light Source, because I'm going to have to wholesale invent the shading.
Six hours of Linework in!! Stopping for the night so my hand remains functional :)
Took most of the day off on my hand, but another 4 hours and the Linework is DONE. (you know, except for the zillion edits I'm going to make while I'm working on it but hey)
Since The Onsen piece used a lot of very cool, dark, and desaturated colors, I've decided to use a lot of warm, high-key and very saturated colors in this piece.
Now, those are THE most saturated versions of the hues I want to use, and they're there mostly for me to Eyedropper and pick tints/shades from on the color wheel, but a few notes:
The foliage is going to be orange in the foreground, then getting redder as it goes into the Background, and finally pink on the far mountains. this is because while this is some Bizarro Alien dreamscape, colors in the distance will be bluer because blue light gets scattered the least as it approached your eye.
Similarly, this will have the shadows done all in one color (A very dark blue-purple on low opacity) because this a day scene, and the sunlight is the same all over, so the shadows will be approximately the same color as well.
The Onsen had two different-colored lightsources, which was really fun, but for daylight, you tend to only have The One Bid Solar Light Source, and because it's full-spectrum, the highlights are more or less invisible and you see it through the shadows, if that sentence makes any sense at all.
Bonus Pro tip: Label all your layers.
Step IDK 9? 10?
Once you have a palette concept, go right ahead and slather that shit on as a Proof-Of-Concept:
So this is no where near the actual saturation or value the final piece will be, but its go for deciding what elements are going to be what colors, which I had a pretty good Idea of, but I actually ended up moving the plant colors around a whole bunch. The Fortress definitely needs to be broken up more, as well as making clearer distinctions on the cliff about what is a shaded surface vs a stained one. Once again, I'm going to let it rest overnight to give my hand a break and let mt subconscious make suggestions.
11. Next bit is to reduce the saturation on the rough and zoom in on one section to refine the colors. It's a bit like filling in a coloring book.
This bit also takes forever and a half but it's not as bad as the linework.
Also gives you time to make up Lore about your landscape.
Popularly known as The Badlands Blue Fortress, archelogical site #41266-887 is actually on some pretty prime desert real estate and all its defensible features seem to be defending against the sunlight rather than any fort of military concern. It is however, Very Blue. #41266-887's Blueness is perhaps it's most mysterious aspect- even more than it's purpose or the reason it was built where it is, archeologists are baffled by it's color. It's not a pigment found in that galactic quadrant, let alone anywhere local the pre-spacefaring civilization that built it could have got to, and the deep blue wood found in it's structures is otherwise completely unknown to scientists galaxy-wide.
DETAILS DETAILS DETAILS!!! As I get closer to the background, I've turned on that color rough again and now have a cleanup layer to clean up the edges of the color rough and just use it as the background
(if you've been enjoying this Tutorial, I would really appreciate any tips you can spare as I am currently the only person with an income in my household)

Aariana Rose Philip, a model with cerebral palsy, for Interview.
It's so cool to see a disabled model in tilt in a powerchair. As someone who has to be in approximately 30-45 degrees of tilt (in a powerchair just like hers) just to move distances longer than 10 feet, I love seeing how it looks powerful, especially when disabled people are told their whole lives how medical everything about them is.
I also love the taking up space of it, I always feel so embarrassed because I also have to tilt/recline my chair a lot to be able to get around and this photo takes a position that often feels vulnerable and reframes it as power
Every person need to be taught disability history
Not the âoh Einstein was probably autisticâ or the sanitized Helen Keller story. but this history disabled people have made and has been made for us.
Teach them about Carrie Buck, who was sterilized against her will, sued in 1927, and lost because âThree generations of imbeciles [were] enough.â
Teach them about Judith Heumann and her associates, who in 1977, held the longest sit in a government building for the enactment of 504 protection passed three years earlier.
Teach them about all the Baby Does, newborns in 1980s who were born disabled and who doctors left to die without treatment, whoâs deaths lead to the passing of The Baby Doe amendment to the child abuse law in 1984.
Teach them about the deaf students at Gallaudet University, a liberal arts school for the deaf, who in 1988, protested the appointment of yet another hearing president and successfully elected I. King Jordan as their first deaf president.
Teach them about Jim Sinclair, who at the 1993 international Autism Conference stood and said âdonât mourn for us. We are alive. We are real. And weâre here waiting for you.â
Teach about the disability activists who laid down in front of buses for accessible transit in 1978, crawled up the steps of congress in 1990 for the ADA, and fight against police brutality, poverty, restricted access to medical care, and abuse today.
Teach about us.
Oh! Oh! I got one! Meet Edward V. Roberts-
Ed Roberts was one of the founding minds behind the Independent Living movement. Roberts was born in 1939, and contracted polio at age 14, two years before the vaccine that ended the polio epidemic came out (vaccinate your kids). Polio left Roberts almost completely paralyzed, with only the use of two fingers and a few toes. At night, he had to sleep in an iron lung, and he would often rest there during the day as well. Other times of the day, he breathed by using his face and neck muscles to force air in and out of his lungs.
Despite this being the fifties, Roberts' mother insisted that her son continue schooling. Her support helped him face his fear of being stared at and ridiculed at school, going from thinking of himself as a "hopeless cripple" to seeing himself as a "star." When his high school tried to deny him his diploma because he had never completed driver's ed, Roberts and his mother fought the school and won.
This marked the beginning of his career as an activist.
Roberts had to fight the California Department of Vocational Rehabilitation for support to attend college, because his counselor thought he was too severely disabled to ever work or live independently. Roberts did go to school, however, first attending the College of San Marino. He was then accepted to UC Berkeley, but when the school learned that he was disabled, they tried to backtrack. "We've tried cripples before, and it didn't work," one dean famously said. The school tried to argue the dorms couldn't accommodate his iron lung, so Roberts was instead housed in an empty wing of the school's Cowell Hospital.
Roberts' admittance paved the way for other disabled students who were also housed in the new Cowell Dorm. The group called themselves "The Rolling Quads," and together they fought and advocated for better disability support, more ramps and accessible architecture like curb cut outs, founded the first formally recognized student-led disability services program in the country, and even managed to successfully oust a rehabilitation counselor who had threatened two of the Quads with expulsion for their protests.
After graduation from his master's, he served a number of other roles- he taught political science at a number of different colleges over the years, served on the board for the Center for Independent Living, confounded the World Institute on Disability with Judith E. Heumann and Joan Leon, and continued to advocate for better disability services and infrastructure at his alma mater of UC Berkeley.
Roberts also took part in and helped organize sit ins to force the federal government to enforce section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which stated that people with disabilities should not be excluded from activities, denied the right to receive benefits, or be discriminated against, from any program that uses federal financial assistance, solely because of their disability. The sit-in occupied the offices of the Carter Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare building in San Francisco and lasted 28 days. The protestors were supported by local gay rights organizations and the Black Panthers. Roberts and other activists spoke, and their arguments were so compelling that members of the department of health joined the sit in. Reagan was forced to acknowledge and implement the policies and rules that section 504 required. This national recognition helped to pave the way for the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990.
Roberts died of cardiac arrest in 1995 at the age of 54, leaving behind a proud legacy of advocacy and activism. Not bad for a "hopeless cripple" whose rehab counselor thought he was too disabled to ever work.

Here is a great online course for disability history!!
âBlack Panthers saved the 504 sit-in.â â Corbett OâToole, participant in the 1977 504 protest in San Francisco
âAlong with all fair and good-thinking people, The Black Panther Party gives its full support to Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act and calls for President Carter and HEW Secretary Califano to sign guidelines for its implementation as negotiated and agreed to on January 21 of this year. The issue here is human rights â rights of meaningful employment, of education, of basic human survival â of an oppressed minority, the disabled and handicapped. Further, we deplore the treatment accorded to the occupants of the fourth floor and join with them in full solidarity.â â Black Panther Party media release on the protest, from website Disability Social History (click thru to see pictures of BPP news about the success of the protest!)
According to disability rights activist Corbett OâToole, these advocates âshowed us what being an ally could be. We would never have succeeded without them. They are a critical part of disability history and yet their story is almost never told.â â
They were running a soup kitchen for their black community in East Oakland and they showed up every single night and brought us dinner. The FBI [guarding the building entrance] was like, âWhat the hell are you doing?â They answered, âListen, weâre the Panthers. You want to starve these people out, fine, weâll go tell the media that thatâs what youâre doing, and weâll show up with our guns to match your guns and weâll talk about whoâs going to talk to who about the food. Otherwise, just let us feed these people and we wonât give you any troubleâ â and thatâs basically what they did.
Please read up on the Black Panthers' involvement in the 504 movement, they were integral to the occupation lasting as long as it did and were INCREDIBLY ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS! They are more than a footnote in that part of disability history, and I want more people to know this part of their legacy!
Read about Bradley Lomax (and his aid and fellow organizer Chuck Johnson, who I've struggled finding sources on outside of articles on Mr. Lomax :( ) here and here! Together the two were integral in bringing Black Panther Party organizing and activism to the disability rights movement!
I wish there were more information on Mr. Johnson, as his work is dear to my heart as someone who also requires caregiving. ;3; <3 Considering how little information there even was available online for Mr. Lomax just ten years ago I am hoping we get more coverage of Mr. Johnson's contributions to this important part of disability history sooner rather than later. I do not want his activism ignored!
Do not let the full richness of our history be whitewashed! The Black Panthers kept the protestors fed, they HEAVILY publicized the protests in their paper The Black Panther and agitated on the protest and protestors behalf, and paid organizers' way to Washington to pressure the HEW secretary to actually sign the damn act. In turn, the Panthers did this because the Oakland ILC did outreach to them, and helped Mr. Lomax with transportation. This is solidarity buried under focus on the white organizers. Please please please cherish it. Keep it close to your heart, read about it, celebrate it, share it!
Obviously there were more Panthers who helped but I have already lost the first draft of this and I'm starting to fade -- here's two more detailed sources to read for more, and I highly recommend you do!
