Iâve been worried about a few things. Iâve been laid off from an awesome job. I have had a few good interviews so Iâm kinda waiting for them to play out. But I also have people that I care about who are affected by the government shutdown. To be honest, there are alot of contractors doing the work of what should be government staff. And this whole shutdown affects them, too. Perhaps, even more.âŚ

Tuna Turnovers
I adapted this recipe from the More with Less Cookbook by Doris Janzen Longacre. The original recipe called for biscuit dough. I do heartily recommend this cookbook. It has a recipe for making your own baking mix (similar to Jiffy or Bisquick) and then recipes for biscuits and other things that you can make from it. The book highly economical and stretches the food dollar well.
I will tell youâŚ

Slow Cooker Balsamic Pork Roast
Slow Cooker Balsamic Pork Roast
In addition to the Hoppinâ John on New Yearâs Day, I made a pork roast in the slow cooker for dinner. I have to say that, while the recipe sounded good, I wasnât really thrilled with it and now, I have to figure out what to do with the pork. Iâll probably pour some barbecue sauce over it. (Pictured above with mushroom spätzle purchased at Aldi.)

Hoppin' John
Hoppinâ John
My mother was born and mostly raised in Texas. My dad is from Western Pennsylvania. I like to combine my roots by having Hoppinâ John for lunch and pork for dinner.
Here is the recipe I use for Hoppinâ John. Most recipes are too big for one or two people. This one is just right.
1/2 c. chopped onion
1 red pepper chopped (here I used half a red and half an orange pepper)
1/2 c. chopped ham

A few weeks ago, Facebook users got an unexpected bit of morbid advertising when they were targeted with ads hawking âfuneral potatoesâ from a Utah company known as Augason Farms. Many of them immediately took to Twitter, wondering a.) what on Earth funeral potatoes were and b.) why on Earth they would want any.
Mormons were not confused. They were limbering up in the social media wings, ready to explain their most delectable food invention to the world. You see, Mormons like me grew up eating funeral potatoes â not just at funerals, but at potlucks, Thanksgiving, and Sunday dinner. They are a combination of cubed potatoes, cream of chicken soup, cheese, and â the coup de grâce â a topping of butter-crisp Corn Flakes. This comfort food has pride of place next to other Mormon classics like cream cheese Jell-O, all manner of ice cream, and âdirty sodaâ â a virgin drink spiked with flavored syrup.
Funeral potatoes were memorialized as a collector pin during the 2002 Winter Olympics, held in Salt Lake. And just last year, a local food truck called Cook of Mormon started dispensing the indulgent dish around Salt Lake with a dash of Mormon nice. According to Jesse Ward â the erstwhile owner of the establishment, who doled out food dressed as a Latter Day Saint missionary â the lines were long.
Mormons, so the logic goes, are particularly obsessed with fatty, sugary foods because all other vices have been taken from them. The religion prohibits drinking or smoking, so they reserve their human frailty for carbohydrates.
Mormon Funeral Potatoes: The Carb-Heavy Meal For The End of The World

@nycgeek Something to go with the meat of death, aka ham.
I work at a daycare with infants.
One of our baby girls is fat, in the 99th percentile for her age. She is super cute and sweet. Lately, she has been sick with various breathing issues, so she has been reluctant to take her bottles. Normally, sheâll take 4 ounces of formula at lunch and 8 ounces in the afternoon. Today, I was lucky to get to her take 5 all day.
There was a substitute covering a lunch break in my classroom today. We emphasized to her that we need to keep trying to get the baby to drink her bottle until she finished it. She said, âWhy are you guys so worried about taking her bottle?â
My coworker replied, âThatâs where all her nutrients are. She needs the nutrients and the water.â
To which the substitute replied, âBut sheâs so fat. She doesnât need it.â
Thin privilege is a small, pretty baby getting better childcare because the caretaker doesnât think sheâs too fat to be allowed to eat.
This reminds me of a cousin of mine who ended up with her kids being taken away from her by social services for a number of reasons but mostly for nearly killing her baby daughter. How?
By starving her. She insisted that her baby was âtoo fatâ and had an aim to remove any and all âchubbynessâ so her baby would be thin. Sheâd already been warned by her doctor about the baby not getting enough food, but insisted she knew best.
After several months of this her baby passed out cold one day and was rushed into hospital where the doctors found her to have severe malnutrition, a low body temperature and low pulse rate. They asked my cousin what sheâd been feeding her daughter and she said âone bottle of skimmed milk a day. I donât want her growing up fat.â
Even after nearly killing her daughter my cousin maintained her view that fat = bad and ended up with all her kids taken from her because she was starving them and neglecting them.
When your fatphobia leads you to starving your own children then youâve got serious problems.
(Note. She still, to this day, maintains the view that she was right and the doctors were wrong. âThey just want fat kids so they can keep employed treating them for all those diseases that being fat causes.â = her actual words.)
My mom had me dieting with her when I was eleven. She had me eating less than 600 calories a day because she was worried I was going to âget huge.â She even grounded me once because she found out my friends were bringing me lunches! I ended up passing out, going to the ER, and getting two IVs at once BC I was so goddamn dehydrated. Soooooo surprised they didnât call child services⌠And looking back, this was the root of my anorexia. Iâm nearly 22 and still fighting it. Please donât starve your fucking children.
For fucks sake babies are SUPPOSED to be fat, what is wrong with people? Itâs just stored energy, and growing children need stored energy - an 11 year old is just about to hit some major growing years. Damn.Â
Fatphobia
Is
Real
and it kills
This is no joke. people will literally starve their own babies cause they donât want them getting fat. A parent brought in their six month old baby who was having breathing issues and kept getting sick. the parent was asked if the baby was eating regularly and the parent straight up told the doctor that they only feed the baby once a day. ONCE A DAY. A FUCKING BABY. they even had the nerve to say because they didnât want the baby to get fat. people like this are real. they would rather have a dead baby than a fat one.
My youngest son is a very big boy and has been since he was born. When he was 10 months old I took him for his well-baby check and vaccinations. The nurse noted his weight and said, quite casually, âHe is in the 99th percentile for weight so he is at risk for obesity. You may want to keep an eye on that.â I said, âHe is exclusively breastfed. He refuses to eat any solids yet.â What did she expect me to do? What would it mean to âkeep an eye onâ an exclusively breastfed babyâs weight?Â
She backed off saying, âWell he looks fine!â â proving once again that weight bias is not truly about health â But I know many other parents who are not as informed as I am about weight science and size diversity would react to this interaction by policing their childâs food intake, if not as an infant, then when he was an older child. This is exactly the type of seemingly-inconsequential interaction that starts the ball rolling on a lifetime of dieting, disordered eating, negative body image, and weight-based abuse for too many fat people.
Years later when he was five, another doctor measured his weight and height and commented that he is off the charts on both, but âat least he is in proportion.â And if he was not âin proportion,â I am sure I would have been advised once again to âwatch his weight.âÂ
I no longer allow healthcare providers to weight my children unless it is absolutely medically necessary. They are unable to control their weight talk, which is a known harm for children.
We need to completely eliminate weight talk from medicine, especially when it comes to children. Even the smallest exposure can have terrible consequences.
WtfâŚ
A friend from college had been going to the doctor because she was having trouble breathing. She was told to lose weight. Over the course of several years, she went back to the doctors time and time again, telling them that sheâd been sticking to the diet but because of her breathing problems she had been unable to even walk for more than 20 minutes at a time. The doctor got her into an exercise programme and told her that she just needed to really try to lose weight because that was clearly the reason for her breathing problems. By the time they found the tumour on her lungs, it was inoperable. She only lived three months after diagnosis. She was 25. Sheâd had the tumour for over five years. The doctor was so focused on the fact that my friend was âfatâ, that they refused to look for any underlying cause. They killed her.
Weight-first treatment KILLS. Fatphobia KILLS.
I have 2 scary stories to share about fatphobic doctors & parents harming their childs/patientsâ health:
1. The 4 years old daughter of a friend of mine came to our house to spend the weekend. She gave me a letter from her mom that said that the child was in a glutenfree diet because she was getting âawfully fatâ when eating cookies or bread (my celiac ass; who gets dhiarrea and loses a scary amount of weight whenever I eat something with gluten was like â???â).
You can bet that I went to the supermarket with the kid and told her âgo & take whatever you feel like eatingâ and the poor child came back smiling with her arms full of biscuits and cupcakes.
She didnât got sick (as a celiac would get) and told me later that she hated the diet her mother made her follow; because her cousins didnât had to pass through that.
And whatâs the scariest thing about this story? Her mother was a NURSE. A fucking nurse who didnât have a clue of the harm that she was doing to her daughterâs body!
2. My little sister started to feel fatigued and dizzy at 9 years old. She felt nauseated at the sight of food and had abdominal pain that increased with physical activity.
Mom got her to the ER and the doctor dismissed it saying: âsheâs fat and probably is feeling ill after eating too much burgers, get her to make some exercise and she will be better in no timeâ.My mom didnât felt ok with the diagnosis and took my sister with a second doctor who also told her that âthe child was just fatâ.
My sisterâs skin was starting to get yellow as the days passed and the abdominal pain was getting awful so my mom (heaven bless her!) got her to the ER for the third time:
SHE HAD STAGE 4 HEPATITIS AND WAS ABOUT TO DIE.
She survived after a long and painful recovery who involved being in bed for a whole year (remember that weâre speaking of a 9 years old child). Luckily they saved her liver and she didnât went through a transplant⌠but let this sink:
If it werenât for my mother, fatphobia would have killed her. Fatphobia kills kids and teenagers, fatphobia kills inocent people everyday. It treats human beings as lesser than others and hurts them in their most vulnerable times.
Itâs a real shame that we all have so much stories to share about this issue. A REAL SHAME.
Future doctors, interns, and residents following me:
FUCKING TAKE NOTE OF THIS!
Donât let bias against your fat patients kill them!
(#and this is just when we actually go to the doctor and tell them we have problems #how many of us just give up #or wonât mention anything that seems like too much of a âfatâ problem)
iâd really like my thin followers to reblog this if you can. fat people are already here for each other, we need you guys to help us out too. this is something i never see anyone actually talking about in-depth, and itâs disappointing. be there for your fat siblings, too.
I nearly died twice last year because my doctors kept passing off my problems as something fat-related or didnât think I had problems because I had fat. Because they simply did not believe me when I told them I couldnât stomach anything anymore. It wasnât until I lost over 150lbs and passed out to the point where I wouldnât wake up (the first time) that they hospitalized me. I even developed scurvy and weak bones because I was literally not eating anything.
But no, I was fine because I was still fat. I was lying because I still had fat on my body.
Iâm still recovering half a year later, and theyâre already getting on my case again for putting some weight back on.
Kinda related, my older brother was huge as a kid, the heaviest out of all me and my 3 siblings. Now? Heâs really thin. He also eats alot. Same goes with my younger brother. Me and my siblings have one thing in common; we all love food. And weâre doing just fine as we are.
If youâre thinking of starving your child because of fat which is an essential part of energy stores as a child, then
You shouldnât be a parent
When my daughter was around 15, I took her to doctor for a regular check up. At the time, my daughter had completed a black belt in Tang Soo Do which involved a commitment to 45 minute classes after school twice a week. She was a well proportioned teenager and not at all what I would call even remotely overweight. But because of all the training, she did have muscles and the doctor asked me if I was concerned about her weight gain. I answered that I wasnât because she was an active person. And thatâs the last time we saw that doctor. Note: at the time I was overweight and quite aware of it. And really trying to keep my daughterâs self esteem and self image in a good place because I was quite aware of fatphobia.

I waited patiently for my partner to come out of the doctors room. It had been a rough few months of him suffering with unexplained pelvic pain, renderin...
We have learned of the higher risks of cancer if a hysterectomy is not completed after five years of being on testosterone.
This is important. Â Read it. Â Especially if you have been on T for over or close to 5 years. Â I have felt these pains. Â Even just today. Â I have been on T for over 5 years.
Something I have learned and have tried to be less of afraid of as a trans person is that you need to put your physical health above your feelings of shame. Â If youâre having a serious medical concern you need to find a doctor you are comfortable with and talk to them. Â Itâs not fun, itâs not easy to do, but itâs important for your health.
Please, followers, remember to report any and all pain you experience to your doctor. Â Do not hide it! Â Your doctors are there to take care of you and ensure that you are safely and discreetly taken care of.

So Iâm a phlebotomist. And sometimes, I work at a site that is directly adjacent to an endocrinologist. Which means I see and take blood from a lot of folks that are trans, or nonbinary, or gender nonconforming.
Do you have any fucking idea how easy it is, in customer-service speak, to respect someoneâs gender?
I mean, Iâve had super awkward situations where I have to say things like âIâm sorry, that name isnât coming up in our system. Is there another nameâŚâ And without fail they provide their deadname and I plug it in and I say âOk, that came up, do you want me to fix that in our system?â And they say âYesâ and then I ADD IT AS A SYNOMYMOUS NAME. Same as I would for someone recently married or divorced. The end.
I have never experienced a situation in which I have felt motivated to ask someoneâs pronouns.
I have had situations in which I have thought to myself âI have no idea if this person is âsirâ or âma'amâ and instead have gone âNext patient please?â or âI can help whoâs nextâ or âI can help you nowâ while looking directly at them.
I have had situations where Iâve gone âIâm like 90% certain that Iâve been given a record with this personâs deadname because this name does not match at all the gender presentation of the person Iâm looking atâ And I say âOk, can you spell your last name for me? Ok, spell your first name? And your date of birth?â
and then I quietly write âpreferred name [the name they just spelled] on the top of thier record.
THIS IS NOT HARD.
And if this is not hard for me, as a person working in medicine who has to make certain that the person Iâm talking to is the same person on the medical record that Iâm looking up, how much easier must it be for, say, a barista who doesnât give half a fuck who you are? Iâve BEEN a barista in the past. If a Barista is asking your pronouns, that person is an asshole.
This just gave me so much hope, thank you.
Yup, pretty much easy to respect someone without subjecting them to invasive questioning.
so last night when i was trying to sleep yâknow it was dark and quiet and my eyes were closed but then i suddenly started laughing because i remembered this gif
Oh my, I canât unsee this.
