Cutting your hair short is super liberating, especially as a plus size person. The last time I cut my hair short, I couldn’t find any photos of what short hair styes look like on a plus size babe! So to fill in the gap, I made this guide linking to some short-haired hotties to inspired you.

Here’s the ultimate guide for short hair styles for plus size babes!

Jes Baker aka The Militant Baker is one of the most well-known fat activists, and has been rocking a short haircut for a while now. Her lust for life and not giving a fuck is inspiring, as is her cute hairstyle!

If you need some makeup and fashion ideas in addition to hair inspiration, Jazzmyne is the one. Honestly even if you don’t want a short haircut, you should probably hit that follow button!

Sometimes I look back on my life and I’m seriously boggled. My childhood was fraught w multiple different anxiety-induced phobias that, at an early age, set me apart from my family as the freak. My teenage years were a time of deep friendless depression- in and out of psych wards for suicidality. Hopelessness and dysphoria in high school had me blacking out and driving my car into Georgia getting so lost, having to call my mom from a Walmart payphone to help me. Shit was rough. I didn’t know my place in the world, and most of the time I didn’t think there was one. Bullied for being fat in high school I hid in the library at lunch and ate in secret. From then to now- so much happened. Maybe I’ll tell you the story some day- but today I’ll just let you know that I never ever thought I would be doing what I am doing in this moment- that my life would look like this and that I would be as confident and happy as I am. A lot of the changes that occurred are due to outside forces: FRIENDS. I finally got some. That’s not to say I don’t struggle- I’m still over here w p intense a.d.d., anxiety/ocd, obsessive thoughts and occasional overwhelming feelings of impending doom- but overall I have something I never thought I would have- love and compassion for myself. Its a game changer y’all, thanks for witnessing me in my growth.❤ #dashbutchconfessional

Lorddd I hope I have enough Broad City lovers to get that reference 🙏🏼 June is going by so fast and I’m trying to collect all these memories in hopes of slowing it down. The world feels heavy but there are pockets of light if you know where to look ✨ Better yet, be a light in someone’s day if you can. Amid the horrors there are so many opportunities for humanity, kindness and love.

I believe pleasure is a form of resistance and supporting (and enjoying 😉) platforms that celebrate lgbtqia+ pleasure is a fabulous way to honor yourself and the hot queer elders that paved the way!

June is lipedema awareness month, so here I am spreading awareness! I was diagnosed with lipedema a few years ago and coming to terms with a life-long progressive condition was a full grieving process. 

Things have gotten better since I had my first lipedema surgery last year, both mentally and physically! But it’s just a fact of life that 1-2 hours of my day are dedicated to ongoing maintence to keep my surgery results for as long as possible. 

Sometimes it feels like lipedema steals time and energy away from things that matter. But I have to remind myself that my wellbeing is what matters most of all! 

How are you prioritizing your wellbeing today? 💞

Over the years I’ve gotten so many messages of h Over the years I’ve gotten so many messages of how I’ve helped you on your body celebration journey. Helping others comes naturally to me. Helping myself? That’s a little harder. But here I am, showing up for myself 💕

I hope someday soon my mental image of myself matches the reality. Practices like this are really helpful. Self portraits are a fabulous way to get to know your physical self and back when ig was more photo-focused, I did A LOT of them. Time to bring them back, I’d say 📸

Love you all and hope you can find even a sliver of body peace today 🫶🏻

Happy birthday to my favorite person @movewithprid Happy birthday to my favorite person @movewithpride 😍🐢✈️🍜 Mon is one of most compassionate and genuine people you’ll ever meet and sees the best in everyone. They love a sports underdog story and will cry every time. They keep going even through the toughest circumstances, and never lets that harden them. They put themselves out there to be the visibility they never had, both in work and in their personal life. Mon is amazing and deserves all the best wishes today as they turn 37!! 🥳🎂🎁

There’s a lot to love about Mon but what I’ve appreciated the most this past year is the growth they’ve done in solidifying their sense of self, knowing what they deserve, and acting in ways that protect their peace and honor their heart 🫶🏻 It’s a gift to witness and I’m endlessly proud of them!

Mon gives SO much to others so let’s give back to them today 💕 Comment with a fave memory of Mon or something you admire about them ✨
“How was your trip?!” We’ve gotten that qu “How was your trip?!” 

We’ve gotten that question a lot since we returned from Hawai’i and it is impossible to answer in only a few words!

This trip engaged us spiritually, physically, emotionally, and intellectually. We learned more than we ever dreamed from native Hawaiians, most who usually would never engage with a group of tourists. It was an act of trust for them to share their knowledge and experience with us and we held that space with respect and divinity. 

We also immersed ourselves in the 'āina, the land, through weeding taro fields in the pouring rain and doing reef conservation work. This was healing in its own special way and has inspired us to be in nature more often. 

Our biggest takeaway (and the cute magnet we brought home, as our tradition) is to live aloha. Aloha is known by most as a hello/goodbye but it is so much more than that. To live aloha is to embody love, peace, compassion and respect. It means living in harmony with the people and land around you with mercy, sympathy, grace and kindness. If everyone lived aloha, our world would be a much better place. 

I’m sure we’ll have more thoughts to share as we process this tremendous trip! But huge thanks to @doctorkiona @reroottravel and all of the guides and kumus who trusted us to share what we learned 🤙🏻 Our lives are forever changed.
