Julian Dennison is out here preaching about the importance of body diversity and representation in the media and I’m honestly so here for it. 

“Deadpool is a quirky universe, which is all about being outside of the box, unlike a normal superhero film,” he says, adding that he’s always been confident and comfortable with his body image. “For me, personally, it’s really cool to play someone who other people can finally look at it and see that a bigger person can portray this awesome character.” [x]

Muslim designer’s ‘pride hijab’ to spread message of love at gay Mardi Gras

The headscarf, created as part of a campaign to push for same-sex marriage in Australia, sold out days after it was launched in October, Australian-Sri Lankan Azahn Munas told the Thomson Reuters Foundation by phone.

The designer said he was relaunching it for the Australian city’s famous festival on March 3 to“celebrate life and love”, and highlight the struggles of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people.

“We have had such a great response including from countries in the Middle East and East Asia. People were so happy that we acknowledged their identity but not in a negative way,” said Munas, who founded the Melbourne-based label MOGA in 2016.

“They live in fear and persecution, they can’t live a free life because of where they live – we want to do this as a way to support them.”

Australia legalized same-sex unions in December after a national postal survey overwhelmingly endorsed marriage equality.

So I’ve been thinking about quitting for a while now, but I’ve been having trouble doing the…

I’ve been trying to quit for awhile, but between Routine and oral stim, it’s been super hard.

I wish you the best of luck 💜

I’m not a smoker, but I’ve had a couple of friends who are neurodivergent quit long term, and this is what helped them.

1. An app on their phone that tells them how much money they have saved by not smoking. This really helped them get perspective.

2. Chupa chups. I know the sugar’s not great for teeth, but it gave them something to do with their hands and their mouth, and they could carry them in their pocket or handbag.

3. Both also used those e-cigs for a while, the ones that produce that vapour stuff.
