It’s wild how people think it’s not fatphobia to judge bodies based on their shape instead of their size. Like because you can be bigger and still attractive to them as long as you have a small waist, they’re totally body positive!

I think one of the key questions in mental health is whether services assess patients on the basis of their clinical needs, or on the basis of what the services can offer them. These are really not the same thing. I’ve only experienced the latter, and the absence of the former.

We should not accept struggle and exploitation as an inevitability. We should not treat poverty and going without as the default and everything above as wealth. Having your needs met is not a *privilege*. Living a baseline comfortable life is not a luxury just because many don’t.

College students are at high risk for eating disorders.
But rather than offer young adults protective support and info, our culture does the opposite: we prime the pump of disordered eating & body shame.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Stop talking about the “Freshman Fifteen.”

People love to bring up My 600 Pound Life like it’s a trump card in any discussion about whether fat people deserve anything. Like okay so your only encounter with very fat people is through a show that dehumanizes them, please tell me more about how they should be dehumanized🫠

However you feel about everything suddenly being very mindful, very demure, but every time you hear it remember that 55yo trans woman Jools Lebron got to quit her job at the grocery store and is now getting flown out and doing brand collabs on the strength of it. Delicious.
