Craft night tonight (July 9), North Oakland

Come meet my Munchkin (the tallest Munchkin in the world), make hemp bracelets, play with modeling clay, or do your own thing. We will have snacks and stuff, of course. 6pm-9pm or later; email if you need directions. Y'all come!

Via sistercoyote, who got it from Feed Me!:

I, Serene, pledge to speak kindly about my body.

I promise not to talk about how fat my thighs or stomach or butt are [edit: in a way that implies there's anything wrong with the fact that my thighs and stomach and butt are fat], or about how I really have to lose 5 or 15 or 50 pounds. I promise not to call myself a fat pig, gross, or any other self-loathing, trash-talking phrase.

I vow to be kind to myself and my body. I will learn to be grateful for its strength and attractiveness, and be compassionate toward its failings.

I will remind myself that bodies come in all shapes and sizes, and that no matter what shape and size my body is, it’s worthy of kindness, compassion, and love.

Below the cut, some really nifty sculptures of Pokemon critters that my Munchkin made.

This kid has always been a builder/maker/artist. So very cool.
