☀️⛱️👙BEACH DAY!!!!🏝️👒🐚

Gotta love a good summer fun filler episode! Just a chill (albeit very hot) day at Gelato Beach. 🏖️

Before c2e2 last month, I was debating on what new prints I could crank out before the show. Since I have a lot of 4 x 6 photo paper, I figured a mini print set was in order. And what could possibly be more fun than drawing cutesy pinups of the Mario girls at the beach??? It was a no brainer. I just made these available to buy at my store. Here's a link!

Halfway through drawing these, I was like ok, who the FUCK is taking these pictures. I could only think of one character. So I drew a little something something extra, and I made it a bonus sticker for the set. You can see it under the read more: (As well as the uncolored pencil drawings for all four prints)

and like. do we have to keep gently phrasing things to protect naturally-thin people's feelings. in my life it has never been fashionable to be fat. "fat" is still a bad word. there has never been institutional power pushing people to gain weight; no trillion-dollar industry to "fix" skinny people. a larger body type has never been over-represented in models, influencers, celebrities. sure, people might say "i'm worried for your health," but they do it with respect and gentleness, like they're talking to a scared deer.

every single fucking time i talk about this, i have to be so careful with what i say, in case i offend even one skinny person. it is just true that skinny people have social capital across many cultures. there is a reason you almost never hear someone say "i wish i was fat," but you will constantly see people say "I wish i was thin." and yet inevitably some skinny person will tell me: i thought you wanted body positivity. it is the same fucking attitude as when a cis man says "when you say men have power, well, i've been bullied for being a man. i thought you believe in mental health awareness. don't you know men have a higher suicide rate?"

two things can be true at once: your experience being bullied for being thin was terrible. and people with larger bodies probably have it worse.

i have been big and small. i know many other people who have been big and small. trust what i'm about to tell you: being small is much easier. the world is kinder to you. people treat you better. honestly, this pattern occurs pretty much regardless of gender - my guy friends have confided that they'd rather be bullied for being thin than be bullied for being fat. if you're skinny, the pressure might be to gain weight, sure, but it's often to do so in a way that keeps you skinny - to gain muscle, specifically.

thinness is seen as innate and natural, genetic. whereas carrying any fat - that is a moral failing. it is assumed to be related to your character, your personality. i have seen people equate it to discipline, to hygiene. that bias is why we need to talk about this.

Absolute banger policy. The SNP want to introduce a sort of ‘baby box’ equivalent for children starting school.

The school bag would be filled with essential school items - stationary, books, a water bottle and information for parents to help with literacy and numeracy skills at home.

Fucking send it, love this idea.

Before school, every 3-5yr old child gets 1,140 hrs free nursery placement each year (x)

Every child gets free school lunches until 10yrs old (x)

Every child gets a bag of books, activities and stationary (x)

Lower income families can apply for £120 for a school uniform grant each year (x)

Lower income families are automatically given £330 for social and educational experiences to help get ready for starting school (x)
