"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence

I think we need to let villains be camp again. “Ohhhhh it’s homophobic to always have the villain be camp!” Okay but it’s been like. So boring without them.

This recently published, free-to-access article is one of the best summaries I’ve ever read of the critiques of conventional weight science. From the lack of evidence of an “obesity epidemic” to the “obesity paradox” (higher BMIs can be health protective) to the evidence that weight-based interventions are making people sicker, they’ve concentrated the best work in the field here and cited heavily. It’s also a very hopeful picture for future approaches to weight and health!

If you don’t want to dig thru lots of books on the topic, read this and save it for reference.

the attempt to erode the language that transfeminists (and just trans women in general) use to discuss our culture and the bigotry we face is, without question, a fully intentional one.

"tma/tme are intersexist", "transfem means trans and feminine", "transbian also refers to transmasc lesbians", "egg jokes are problematic" ect are all conscious violence against trans women and an active effort to strip away from us the terms we use to express ourselves, our experiences, and the oppression we face.

In my opinion it's a lot more healthy to be able to own that you dislike someone for petty reasons than to do all kinds of mental gymnastics to make everyone you don't really vibe with out to be a bad person actually

Guy who has bad executive functioning: there's just something so erotic about symbiosis, depending on someone else, sharing responsibilities, not having to think about your schedule...

Captain America and Superman are Jewish responses to the Nazi idea of the ubermensch that ask different, but equally compelling questions in response to it. Captain America asks "what if the ubermensch was real, and he loved Jews?" and Superman asks "what if the ubermensch was real, and he was a Jew?"
