8 Reasons to Start Loving Your Body Today, by Shape Magazine
(via yosamanthrax:until:cadyheron:morewineplease:showmeasmile:jesssica)
- Because it is unique; no one else has the same one.
- Because it is capable of extraordinary feats, enabling you to run, climb, jump, lift, squat, snuggle, and spoon.
- Because no matter how badly you treat it, it is willing to give you another chance.
- Because it is expressive, telling you how it feels and broadcasting to others how you feel about it.
- Because confidence is pretty sexy.
- Because your daughter must learn to love hers.
- Because somebody (or many somebodies!) admires, covets, and adores it.
- Because you will regret not loving it more later.
9. Because having a body is the only present vehicle for existence and the dark endless void of nonexistence is nauseatingly terrifying.
That line totally blindsided me. I have been laughing at it all week.
Pleasedontsqueezetheshaman is a fun read, and without her, I may have eventually entered the dark endless void of nonexistence never having seen Walt Whitman’s junk (leaves of ass, that one still kills me.) Thank you Miasma Protege, I am forever in your debt.

Wild World - Steven Demetre Georgiou / Steve Adams / Cat Stevens / Yusuf Islam / Yusuf
Our library has decided to catalog works authored by Cat Stevens under any and all of the above names. In several instances, their choices are anachronistic and seem arbitrary, as Tea for Tillerman, for example, was released before Yusuf Islam (Islam, Yusuf) existed as an identity for this particular artist. Through persistence and cross referenced searches, Floyd retrieved a couple of his albums through the holds system and we have listened to them off and on over the past couple of weeks.
I have never been a huge fan of Cat Stevens; his music is nice, I don’t dislike it, but its strongest impact on me has been in its role as a soundtrack for Harold and Maude. Most of the songs still don’t inspire strong feelings in me, but Wild World always caught my attention when it played. I am not sure if he is singing to a daughter, a girlfriend, or just a loved one, but the song captures a mood of confidence and concern that I feel when I see my daughters stretching their legs and stepping out into the world independently. I want to warn them but not scare them. Encourage but not mislead them. Mostly, I just hope they are going to be okay.
the fall is a beautiful time but please beware though not too much and also happy tuesday imaginary constructs -mumblelard
