[“If you’ve been told your whole life that you are worthless, what good is your word? When I have done political organizing in a lesbian context, one of the things that I learned there was that we had a constituency of people, many of whom had been told all their lives that they were nothing. Many had never had or used power, did not know how to be proactive, felt that their only power was to be obstructive. A lot of times lesbians would come into a room determined that the only way they could express themselves was to stop something. When we created the Lesbian Avengers in 1992, we had to create a rule that if you disagreed with a proposal you couldn’t just critique it; you had to make a better suggestion. This drove people wild because they didn’t have the skill or authority to be proactive and create things, to negotiate, to face and deal with problems, to propose solutions. They only knew how to obstruct and destroy. That’s what you’re dealing with here. We have it on a lot of different fronts. If we take your idea and expand it—what you are talking about is a real gay family.”]

I don’t really allow myself to get close to people on an emotional level because my insides are all riddled with maggots, which is very frightening for people to see, especially up close, especially when they are, you know, inside you, in more ways than one.

@citrussunrises - I'm making this a new post because I can't reply from a sideblog in the comments. It also makes it easier to share links.

As a caveat, I have not interacted with worth-beyond-a-number-scale / timidsketch and fatphobiabusters since 2022. Things could have changed.

The issue I became aware of (through this post) was that at least one person reached out to people on the fatphobiabuster's team saying 'hey, this person has a history of saying racist shit, do you really want them that affiliated with you? Do you want to stand with them?' and they looked around at each other and decided 'yeah, it's fine. You can go if it's a problem.'

Hi Bnuy, I have not engaged with Worthy since 2022, although I have collected a few things that have popped up in their tags. I have them, along with fatphobiabusters blocked.

Maybe it is petty of me, but I would still promote and share any comprehensive call out that came out of this.

please dont put racists like timidsketch on my dashboard and please dont reblog their racist posts

Hi!

I didn't know anything about that user being racist. The post I reblogged seemed to be addressing how artists deprioritize body size diversity but embrace other diversity. I wholeheartedly support drawing racial diversity, and I hope that along with that comes the inclusion of fat bodies.

I went ahead and archived the post until I know more. I'm sorry that in misunderstanding this post I may have propagated racist content.

Could you please tell me why they're a racist? I didn't clock that from them, and I'd like to know more.

Hope you have a good day!
