I Fuckin’ Love This Giant Tree: Size Diversity in Nature

I just really fucking love this tree. It's big and bulbous just like me!

Shit like this reminds me how natural size diversity is. Trees come in all shapes and sizes. Flowers come in all shapes and sizes. Lookit those succulents in the back! All. Fucking. Sizes.

Gigantic trees like this are valued for their longevity, their ample shade, their ability to house all sorts of different creatures—just to name a few. As a fat person, I'm valued for my big soft hugs, my gentle reminders that weight does not dictate health or worth, and my big fat ass that I *know* is glorious to look at. (You're welcome.) All of us have characteristics and experiences that contribute greatly to our communities, just like this super dope giant tree.

ID: I'm standing next to a gigantic tree (like, so big it doesn't fit in the picture). The tree trunk is massive and the bark is bulbously textured. I'm standing with a cane and giving the peace sign. I'm a fat white person wearing all black--sunglasses, KN95 mask, crop top, shorts, fanny pack, and Crocs. I have tattoos on my left arm and both legs.
