I've Seen So Many People Draw Them And I Needed In.

I've seen so many people draw them and I needed in.

I gave my soapbox speech about how weight loss is mostly bullshit to two different patients in a row yesterday and so help me I’m pretty sure one of these days someone is going to say “but SURELY you agree I’d be HEALTHIER if I lost weight!” bc you can see the disbelief in their eyes. And like. Sure, maybe! You might see some improvement in biomarkers like LDL and A1c, and your knees would probably feel better. But you would be amazed at how much more good you can do for yourself by focusing on things you can actually meaningfully change without resorting to making yourself miserable. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables—it’s hard bc they’re more difficult to prepare and more expensive per calorie and go bad faster than other foods, but they’re what we evolved eating the most of so they’re what our bodies need the most of. And walk around more; sure, cardio is great for you, but if it sucks so bad you don’t do it, it isn’t doing shit for you. And we evolved to walk very very long distances, a little bit at a time, so our bodies respond actually very well to adding walks into our schedules, which is vastly easier than adding workouts that are frankly designed to be punishing when the definition of punishing is “makes you less likely to do it again in the future.”

You get one life. It is shorter than you can begin to imagine. Don’t waste it hating yourself because somebody is going to make money off that self-hatred. You deserve better than to be a cash cow for billionaires who pay aestheticians and dermatologists to make them (or at least their trophy wives) look thin and beautiful no matter what they actually do.

frog need help

hey everyone! sorry to have been inert for a while, but life has been a fucking mess. i spent most of this winter sick with various minor illnesses, and then portland got hit hard by that polar storm - days of 10F temperatures, ice-covered snow on every exposed surface for a week, gale-force winds, power outages across most of town. we lost power for a full day and change and a lot of shit froze etc. needless to say the whole thing has been a fucking nightmare. i'm lucky to say that the place i live in was essentially undamaged so i don't have to pay for a motel for a month or something, but emergency rates have our gas and power bills through the roof and i was honestly struggling a bit to begin with.

i'm trying to raise about $700 to climb out of the hole that a 200% hike in gas price and corresponding hikes on water and electric are gonna leave me in; any extra will go towards getting groceries (which me and the gf are getting real low on) and possibly buying myself a second pair of winter-appropriate pants. any help is extremely appreciated, including just rebloggin' and wishin' me well <3 cashapp - $asimplefrog ko-fi (paypal wrapper) - frogk thank you!!

You don’t suck at Lineart, you’re just not familiar with line weight👍🏼!

He's my personal hero for this, honestly.
