An illustration I did for Instinct Magazine on unfair Adoption cases.
This should have thousands of notes.
^Seriously though.
More people need to see this.
This is absolutely heartbreaking. :[
Needs more reblogs. Seriously people.
Reblogging for the beautiful illustration as much as the point at hand.
I know that I’m probably being nit-picky and oversensitive but my heart sinks a little every time I see fat poor people being representative of laziness, hatefulness, bigotry, and evil. Like, I never see bodies that look like mine in beauty magazines or in popular media (unless they’re there to be laughed at), but only as the bad guy, the evil in the world, the child harmer, the unfit parent.
Every single time a piece of media which is otherwise dedicated to shedding light on a pretty good poin dips into this kind of fat-equals-bad representation, I can’t lie, it makes me really depressed. It sucks that bodies that look like mine equal so much that’s negative in public perception, because that gets enacted out on me every single day of my life.
I dunno. Sorry to harsh the buzz.
Yeah, I’m gonna disagree with you on this. This is a cartoon, and it’s meant to intantly convey that the family on the bottom are Bad News For Kids using mise-en-scene that includes the ‘parents’. They smoke, which is bad for the kids. They drink, which means they’ll be neglectful of the kids when they’re wasted. The fatness indicates that they don’t eat healthily, and as such it is highly unlikely that they will feed their kids well either.It’s a cartoon, after all - the fatness here clearly indicates that they’re diggin’ in to KFC a lot more than they should rather than that they both have an unfortunate glandular problem.
WAAAAY more contentious is the crucifix on the wall in the background of the lower frame.
- This picture is amazing, and points out something that’s always made me a bit sad to realize that in today’s world, this actually happens. It’s sad to think we live somewhere where this can happen because of people’s ignorance and bigotry.
- Tom Milsom, your argument against inautumn-inkashmir is so true. Great points.
This is just amazing.
My heart just broke.
This is Tim Burton in a nutshell: We were doing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and I was on the set. We were shooting, working, working, working. All great. Everything’s cool. One of my pals comes up and says, “Helena Bonham Carter just called. When you get a moment, she’d like you to give her a call back.” “Okay,” I say. “As soon as I’m done on set, I’ll go back to my trailer and give her a call.” So I go back to the trailer, call Helena, and say, “Hey, what’s going on?” I thought maybe Helena had a question about little boys because Billy was a little baby then and I’ve got two kids. So I say, “Is everything all right?” And she says, “Billy’s fine. Everything’s fine. But, well, you know how Tim is. He wants to know if you’d be… he’d like for you to be Billy’s godfather.” I say, “But I was just with Tim. I was with him three minutes ago. I had to leave him to walk back to the trailer to call you.” So she called me to ask because Tim just couldn’t. That was his way of asking. I went back to the set and said thank you, told him that I was honored. It doesn’t get heavier than saying I’d like you to be the godfather of my son. But he’s not ever going to put himself into a corny kind of situation with a pal. He’s like, “Good, yeah, yeah.” Boom. “Let’s get back into the work.”
