real talk like. YES many fat people eat a healthy diet! lots of fat people don't eat sweets! lots of fat people love veggies! there are fat vegans!

BUT sometimes I see this being used as a gotcha in a way that says "it's okay to be fat because it doesn't mean you're eating Immorally" and I resent that.

I am fat and today I ate three cookies for breakfast. big ones. and that doesn't change the fact that my fatness is amoral and my diet - while objectively not very healthy, this cookie thing is part of a pattern in my life as a stressed out grad student - is also amoral.

it's okay to be fat and love little debbies. and it's okay to be fat and eat little debbies more than you "should." you don't owe your health or nutrition to anyone. everyone should fuck off

i'm reading this collection of essays about tenochtitlan and it is really very hard being a scholar of the Mexica. like. you are locked into defending against the worst most bullshit accusations imaginable of fantasy bloodshed as a justification for very real unimaginable bloodshed and conquest and destruction. on the other hand, they were an expansionist warring empire that murdered like a lot of people over the course of their conquest of the peninsula, and then built giant skull towers to display those conquests. it's a pickle

i don’t know how to explain to you people that no matter what a country’s government is like i do not and will not support the US indiscriminately bombing that country’s civilians and i don’t know why that’s a controversial take tbh

kristen whose hard of hearing (side effect of hitting her head one to many times) vs riz who has huge goblin ears that hear Everything

kristen, looking at the girl across from them at krom’s who keeps looking over to her: what’s she saying?

riz, not looking up from his notes: she said lindsey’s a bitch

kristen: whose lindsey?

riz: not sure. she’s not talking to you. she thinks you’re hot though, but please dont make that my problem

kristen: good to know

[whatisamildopinion]

just thinking about kristen and gorgug again (i'm always thinking about them)

Can I ever request a Bee headcanon, if I speak about her like its canon they have to make it canon

hello my dear friend i am so sorry this took so long to write i am beautiful and take forever but!! bee hc's:

has shaved her head like... 5 times because she goes back and forth between dying it and getting it permed and just starts over once in a while. she's dyed it nearly every color (except purple. she did that once and it made her looks some how even paler than she already is and she hot washed it out of her hair Immediately)

she still really loves helio despite it all. a big part of her relationship with kristen is the idea that you can change and influence gods and that's a lot of her hope with her worship. she is his paladin in a sea of many, but if she sees him as a loving and accepting god, then part of him is that, so she is very active in the church community (catch her in the helio holiday pageants every year)

bee applebees starts hrt and the degree she looks like her sister is upsetting. its one of the reasons she starts changing up her hair in the first place cuz truly they could be twins and she gets called krsiten all the time and even though its kinda wonderful its also So Annoying

when she moves into mordred she has Awful insomnia and even though she and bricker haven't shared a room in years she would sit in the hallway outside of cork and bricker's room (until kristen tripped over sleep walking and she woke up with a bloody nose and now they do insomnia sister midnight tea time and watch worst chef's in spyre)

i think about sweet girl all the time. she is so lame teen girl i love her so much

We Lived Happily During the War by Ilya Kaminsky

And when they bombed other people’s houses, we

protested

but not enough, we opposed them but not

enough. I was

in my bed, around my bed America

was falling: invisible house by invisible house by invisible house.

I took a chair outside and watched the sun.

In the sixth month

of a disastrous reign in the house of money

in the street of money in the city of money in the country of money,

our great country of money, we (forgive us)

lived happily during the war.

Hey man, ahead of this heatwave I'm gonna go ahead and rip the veil off of something for you:

The reason American Southerners have the luxury of saying that 90 ain't that bad and it's not unbearable until it's 100 is 1) prolonged exposure to high temperatures over multiple decades 2) our mindset for these living conditions.

You don't have number 1, and you can't just acquire it, so I need you to adopt number 2 immediately. How do you live like a Southerner in the heat?

Don't be a hero.

Stay inside. Buy a box fan, put it next to a bucket of ice, and wrap your arms around it like a lover. Do not leave the shade under any circumstances. If a dude makes fun of you for getting out of the sun, don't get mad, just think of a funnier insult to call him while you flip him off and go stand under a tree.

Southerners love nothing more than to exaggerate and lie to each other. Like I think we got off on the wrong foot when you walked in on us saying things like "It was only 110, I didn't even take my damn jacket off" when really, last week it was 95 at 10 PM and we were on the bed buck nekkid in front of the fan moaning incoherently and praying to die. So yeah, we can take extreme heat. We also want you to think we can take ludicrous heat. You must learn to talk shit and then be a hypocrite and a coward in your actions, because this will serve you best.

It sounds like I am joking but I cannot express to you how much I am not. Do not fuck with Mother Nature, because that bitch will kill you. Take every opportunity to lower your body temperature and drink water, because that is what all of us in hot climates are doing all the time, and that is why we are not dead, even when it seems like we should be.

(And yeah, we do go through like two and a half ugly weeks in April every year where everyone wants to absolutely just goddamn drop dead because none of us have our heat tolerance back, but we must go to work anyway, which must be a crime. And yes, when it gets below 70 we really all do short circuit and cover ourselves in seven jackets, except for Shorts Guy.)
