I’ve absolutely not been a patriot at any point in my life since I was aware enough of the world to be able to consciously profess that sentiment. But. Oh my god what has happened to my country?

[gameshowtrainwreck]

the only difference between the weepy wendsday club and myself is that I've been fucked by the system longer than they have (D or R, both parties fuckin' 𝕝𝕠𝕒𝕥𝕙𝕖 the disabled), and now they're sad because there's a chance they might have to experience it themselves.

i am a reflection of what i deal with as shaped by the environment i occupy. people literally tried to argue that sometimes genocide is acceptable and that doing less than the bare fuckin basic minimum (e.g. 1% of the 43 million student loans forgiven) means we shouldn't criticize or talk bad about my betters otherwise trump will win.

trump still won, you dumb motherfuckers.

trump still won and none of these hateful pieces of shit will learn anything from it. losing to trump once can be a mistake, benefit of the doubt covers that. losing to him twice is a pattern of deliberate, willful decisions by those within the party that everybody else swears will defend democracy yet simultaneously are also too fragile to withstand criticism from someone who would have really liked for her to win. considering how fucking smug everybody had been about it before the election, even i thought harris had it in the bag. turns out that if i handled a fucking surgery the same way harris handled her campaign, i would still be in fuckin prison.

the same group of people who watched a genocide unfold and said nothing are now subject to the big sads. folks, nobody has any reason to be sad about something your candidates willfully chose to do.

if anything, y'all should be getting angry. get angry at the people responsible for this in your own goddamned party. or don't, because gosh we all know how much of a fuckin hassle it was actually giving a shit during the 1st trump admin.

i guess that's why a lot of harris voters are now talking about wishing more hurricanes on the south (even though black people will be the most likely to be hurt by it) or calling ICE on latinos for having the fucking gall to not vote correctly; makes sense to just go full-on masks-off.

that's why i'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop and all these sadsack assholes start switching over to full-blown fascism. i would fucking jizz my pants if i was proven wrong, believe you me, but a lifetime of experience and a neurodivergent hyperfocus on world history has told me a lot of people simply ain't got that shit in them.

so fuck em, i will cuss them out if to provide some modicum of consequence for the democratic party failing the people they allegedly care about because god knows a lot of these motherfuckers have been sheltered by their economic status.

The mass exodus from Twitter to BlueSky and even a bit of Tumblr is somewhat heartwarming news given what’s happened in the last 48 hours.

Now that we've repeatedly seen people use the physiques of besieged Palestinians as means of genocide denial can we maybe accept that typifying fatness as a trait of spoiled indulgent ruling classes might be bad at best and dangerous at worst

Why do people deny the systemic oppression of fat people?

People do everything they can to deny there is a systemic oppression of fat people because they want to keep enjoying the benefits of oppressing fat people---undeserved privileges garnered for the mere fact of not existing in a fat body.

Thin privilege is dangerous because it obstructs social change. As long as fat oppression grants thin privileges, people who benefit from thin privilege will be incentivized at worst to actively oppress fat people and at best to pretend that fat oppression and thin privilege doesn't exist.

If there were no privileges from simply existing in a thin(ner) body, why would people go on unhinged rants about "there's no thin privilege, only fat consequences"? What would they stand to gain by scolding fat people? What they're doing is acting their part in the morality play around fatness in order to preserve the advantages they get for being thin(ner). If they can't convince others, or even just themselves, that they are superior to fat people, then they would have to face the fact that the advantages they enjoy for being thin are undeserved.

Fatness and tallness are similar in their hereditary nature and association with certain health outcomes (I have an ancient blog post that touches upon this here). I have yet to hear anyone finger-wagging a tall person for the burden they place on the medical establishment, or shaming a tall person for not being able to fit in a plane seat with a narrow pitch, or systematically complaining for not being able to recline when a tall person is behind them, and so forth.

There isn't a systemic oppression of tall people. This isn't because height is less controllable than weight. Only a tiny fraction of people can lose a significant amount of weight and keep it off in the long term (look in our FAQ if you are curious). It's because short privilege isn't as much of a thing as thin privilege. So there's no social-oppressive infrastructure for short people who want to keep enjoying undeserved short privileges to maintain.

My hope is that, someday, thin privilege will seem as absurd as short privilege. Because only then will we have a chance to end fat oppression once and for all.

i was talking w my uni friends a bit ago about our first impressions with each other and everyone was like Oh siiri you seemed so charming and approachable and you speak so elegantly and gently hehee which was so nice to hear but also fucked me up a bit bc im still living w the baseline assumption that everyone thinks im a Freak And a Weirdo and that I Dont Belong Here. like woagh…. everybody Dont hate me…

[crimeronan]

every day i think "today i should not eat much candy, because doing so consistently has been giving me terrible headaches and making me sleep for long periods of time," and then i say "i bet that was only true for past me," and THEN i feel really really betrayed when i inevitably get a headache.

@30-seconds-to-marx tumblr recommended your blog to me while i was in a manic state so i learned how to make videos for the bit.

im gonna go back under my rock now

[crenandos]

The nikocado shit has me feeling real weird like

Is it actually a gotcha moment? He was still a joke of the internet if it was satire or not. And if it was purposeful he strained his body with the weight and weight loss for a gag?

Not to say you can truly tell someone's health from looking at them but now he also doesn't look in the best of shape either. He just doesn't seem all there.

It's great he had a log of videos to keep his transformation away from the public eye but I just don't see it as this big successful prank everyone is making it out to be.

Wow, I can see you used to be hot. But yeah, I gotta take a pass…
