I think the main, horrifying thing about these airbrushed pictures being distributed, is there has been a lot of media hype calling this beautiful girl fat. It’s like, the media refuses to let her be proud of her body. They’ve even changed her face shape, making her almost unrecognisable. We always rant about how airbrushed photos affect us, but imagine how they must affect the people being airbrushed. Imagine feeling super confident and good about yourself after a photo shoot, and then seeing the end result and realising you weren’t good enough for the magazine. It must be crushing.

I remember, when my friend was practising photo shopping, she took a photo of my face and airbrushed it without my permission or even warning me. Personally, I found the un-airbrushed photo of myself more attractive, since it looked like me, but the airbrushed version was so disheartening. She’d changed the shape of my nose, elongated my face and taken out the scars by my eyes and the scar on my chest from my operation. She only did it as light hearted practice for her art exam, but it crushed me. She didn’t realise, and perhaps the photo-editors don’t realise, that by airbrushing out all the little imperfections on my face she made me feel like I wasn’t good enough. The little scars and freckles and the bump in my nose were all things that made me, me, and she took them away.

Similarly, by changing Jennifer Lawrence’s body, they’re telling her that no matter how successful she is, no matter how talented she is, she will not be good enough because of the things about her that make her who she is. 

And I just find that sad.

Why are people so afraid of curves? Ugh, this is disgusting, but I can’t say I’m surprised. 

Jennifer Lawrence seems so cool and is obviously a total babe. Stop all this overly abused photoshop madness and let a girl be!

I often wonder how he is even allowed to exist as a person,

as a functioning human being, 

as a living creature, 

let alone

as a potential president of the United States. 

ugh, RL.

obligatory father’s day post 

I’ve never had a good relationship with my dad. In fact, he makes me want to scream 90% of the time. He is the most annoying, embarassing person to ever live. No, really, you don’t understand. He’s like a senile grandpa now, he nags about EVERYTHING (even my mom has said ‘oh my god you’re annoying’).

So I’ve never really had a good father figure in my life. And I envy those of you that do, so celebrate it.

"I threw my 20th birthday party at Brown, and I didn’t even have to say to anyone not to put pictures on Facebook. Not a single picture went up. That was when I knew I’d found a solid group of friends, and I felt like I belonged."
