I'm following Joanna Thangiah NSFW

Welcome back to the blog. It's been a while

Today I'm following Joanna Thangiah a snarky, funny creator.

Joanna Thangiah on Instagram. This is a screenshot of the Instagram account with 9 small cartoons.

Since we're all self-isolating, it seemed like a good time to get stuck in here. Every Monday I'll feature a fun, cool, artsy, or thought provoking social media account.

Self described on her Instagram page as "Feminist art trash, brown, queer, fat & mentally ill. NSFW sometimes."

Joanna's art is everything I wished I had when I was young and struggling with my own identity. Her characters are fat, hairy, and smart. Her style is girly and friendly -- pink, patterned, and precious -- I love them all. Celebrating women with positive, affirmating statements. Joanna combines that with a sharp wit, advice, and reflections on every day life for an always fun and often poignant glimpse of life including her transparency about her own insecurities and mental struggles.

Hairy Wilder Beast by Joanna Thangiah  is a cartoon with a purple-haired girl shaving her armpits and plucking her face while surrounded by sharing and hair removal supplies. The text says "Can society fucking evolve already! So sick of plucking, shaving, waxing and putting my body through shit so I won't be ridiculed in public. Let me be the hairy wilder beast I was born to be!"

In addition to making these awesome fat-friendly, body positive illustrations, Joanna does some cool fiber art. Look at this camel toed cutie.
