Is The Body Positive Movement Putting Your Health At Risk?
Is The Body Positive Movement Putting Your Health At Risk? YouTube video by Stylish Curves

As a #blind and plus-size woman, I find connections between #bodypositivity and #disability rights. Cultural portrayals of disabled people are mostly negative; it's rare to show a disabled person just doing a job or living their life. My weight and vision aren't the sole signs of health or value.

#ScentoftheDay: #Prada Paradoxe Intense. I enjoy the #Paradoxe line (except Virtual Flower), but the intense #perfume makes a bold statement. The moss note adds depth and presence to the lush neroli. Lasting power is indomitable. 5 stars. #fragrance #beauty

What if some of the biggest β€œfacts” about Mary Boleyn… aren’t facts at all?
After France, she vanishes from the records for a few years.
So what do we actually know, and when did Henry VIII fit in?

I'm on my 2nd bottle of Ellis Brooklyn's MYTH. I adore this #perfume β€” it's soft, feminine, and crisp. Notes: bergamot, ambrette seeds, cassis, tiger orchid, pink lotus, jasmine petals, patchouli, liquid musks, white cedarwood.
I only wish it was stronger and longer-lasting. 4/5 stars.

My 11th-graders are reading #JaneEyre by #CharlotteBrontΓ«, and many students have expressed love for Helen Burns. I didn't think Helen would resonate with modern audiences. What are your thoughts? What is Helen's appeal for readers? Who's your favorite from the novel? #teaching #literature #novels

#Poetry's best gift is the creation of a space where the listener can come in, take their coat off, sit down, and see their life completely re-imagined. It makes us larger and wiser. Readers just need the courage to approach. #writing

#Poetry is a lively and lived-in genre, a really magical place. It's intensely private and powerfully public. And it's one of those genres that can be fully appreciated when you try to write it, even if your poetry isn't "good" or you keep it entirely to yourself.
