i just want everyone to know that i could write an essay about the sociological significance of american combat uniforms and all its unsurprisingly weird implications. i won't because the rain is making my brain goop, but i just want everyone to know that the possibility is always on the table

#ipj speaks #its not that i feel inarticulate on a word level but more so disorganized and incoherent on a topic level #my biggest fixation is the incredibly blatant fatphobia in uniform guidelines throughout all branches and auxiliary groups #but more specifically how it interacts with america's idolatric obsession with combat uniforms #and it bugs me in a way that while rooted in common-stance social justice i dont think i could articulate it with adequate empathy #simply because im doomed to be fixated on the logical and factual failings of bigoted policy and not the damage it causes the actual people #in short rather than risk writing a Tumblr Post that potentially mishandles important issues id rather just..not write one at all #not to mention i couldnt have less skin in the game. im fairly thin and my dad has told me Several times that i look like a sk*nhead #if the military ONLY cared about aesthetics i think id be kidnapped like a stray dog
