ODE. TO. WENDI.

“What’s next, a mixed-race immigrant on the autism spectrum?” Hi, my name is Rachel, also known as Rachna, and I’m a mixed-race immigrant on the autism spectrum. 

“What’s next, a transgender Latino man with chronic pain?” What, you mean my former colleague, Marco? 

You don’t need abs to be worthy! 

Some VERY WELL DESERVED body positive love for Thor, soon also available on my Society 6 as a print and other things. 

Inspired by the adorable ‘you don’t need abs to be fab’ picture <3 

Art note: Bodies change throughout life, and Thor is no exception. And his reasons are completely understandable and valid. He suffered the most loss and failure and he became depressed. This is something that happens to many people, because life is unfair and hard. This godly character suddenly became relatable. And it saddens me that he was treated like a continuous fat joke throughout the movie instead of being supported and loved, that is why I made this art, to show support and love for this character, and anyone who relates to him. <3 

This is “Kindled” by Laura K. Cannon, which is part of her portfolio that can be found here: http://navate.com/2wk6im1sartc92iwza7il07bxq2mk5

“This went kinda viral on tumblr and people are arguing whether it’s a painting of Aphrodite. It’s not. If she must be a goddess, I think she’d be Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire.

But it doesn’t depict anyone specifically. After some soul-searching I realize that, while I wasn’t thinking about it at the time, it’s a painting about battling depression. I live with MDD so the idea of emerging from the depths is a powerful thing for me.

Is she being born from the lava, or is she climbing out of Hell? I think it’s both.”
