my new roommate said that her last roommate had an eating disorder and then talked to me about her clean eating and weight loss goals and how she buys clothes that are a little snug to motivate her to lose more
and like honestly? i have anorexia but this is why i constantly talk about the dangers of the âhealth and fitnessâ industry and diet culture bc we have essentially normalized certain symptoms of disordered eating but itâs ok if itâs under the guise of health i guess???
like how is calling it âcleanâ eating NOT a way to moralize food
how is intermittent fasting NOT the same thing as skipping meals
how come when i buy clothes that donât fit, itâs something i have to tell my therapist about because it means i am putting pressure on myself to fit into them, but if a ânormalâ person does it then itâs just motivation for them?
where is the fucking line???
and more importantly when are we going to start acknowledging that the entire world is pro-ana but thatâs too harsh of a description so we slap some health buzzwords on it to make it palatable
when are we going to take responsibility for encouraging disordered behavior instead of labeling those of us with EDs as the crazy/imbalanced ones
your fucking Whole30 or keto or whatever âcleanâ diet youâre on is just as restrictive as the diets we create for ourselves due to our disorders. but we are the crazy ones, right
Iâm so fucking pissed off right now at how many newspapers are using Labor Day, a holiday fought for and won by unions, as an opportunity to print bullshit editorials like this:
Unions are fucking ESSENTIAL and these so called âright to workâ laws are being pushed through specifically to undermine them. Union membership is essential. We donât need lower union dues, we need better wages. Which unions exist to fight for. The âinjusticeâ is not mandatory union membership, itâs the vast and repeated exploitation of workersâ rights. Repeat after me:
There is an EVICTION MORATORIUM in the entire U.S. until the new year, but you MUST declare it to your landlord in order for it to be effective. Â This does not cancel your rent, but it will delay a potential eviction. Â PLEASE share this info so that those who need it, have it, bc they arenât being vocal in promoting this.
Tianna Arata is a black woman who is about to face 15 years. She currently has eight charged against her including multiple felonies, all because she organized a peaceful protest. A FUCKING PROTEST. Sheâs an active activist using her 1st amendment to speak on systematic racism and other important issues.
