Aromantic-Offical

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

help.

Scroll to the top of the post

Click the three dots in the top right corner of the post.

OFFICALVERSE GET ON THIS NOW

EVERYBODY knows (or should) that you DO. NOT. STOP. in Vidor, Texas. 

It’s best to just run out of gas elsewhere. Whatever you do, black folks, DO NOT STOP IN VIDOR, TEXAS. 

There’s a good chance you’ll get lynched or just come up missing - and I’m not joking.

also do NOT stop in Harrison, Arkansas!!!! (relatively close to OK and MI) a nazi town with a BIG KKK organization.

This kitchen is getting around that stupid rule by selling you raw, unprepared chicken, and then charging your EBT account for raw, unprepared chicken.

Then as a side thing, totally unrelated, they cook the chicken for free. Since you bought raw chicken with the EBT, it's legal. There's no law against cooking people's raw chicken for free for them. That's just charity.

Keep in mind that unhoused or under housed people often do not have access to clean, safe cooking facilities.

What I'm going to do about you being cruel: hold you in contempt.

Food is not a luxury. The human body requires protein, carbohydrates, and fats - fried chicken supplies all of those things. There is no such thing as 'garbage' food.

I feel contempt for you, and hope that one day you will become a better and more compassionate person. Because I'm petty, I also wish petty suffering upon you. Hope you bite your lip/cheek/tongue every time you have a judgemental or unkind thought about a person who has harmed no one.

do about you being cruel:

hold you in contempt.

But fried chicken is very unhealthy. I mean, obviously it's okay once and awhile as a treat, but you should never, ever forget that fried chicken is unhealthy.

Also, it should be noted that when we talk about "fried" chicken, we usually mean "deep fried", as that is the most popular method. It is also the most unhealthy, but baking or air-frying chicken yields a healthier result.

However, the note on the window does not state how the chicken is prepared, so this kitchen could be baking it, which is far more healthy. Kinda classist to assume it's fried, imo. Again, not my business, spend EBT how u want.

Here, I'll give you some resources on fried chicken (deep fried) being bad for your heart.

Eating fat does not cause heart disease. Ancel Keys will not fuck you.

I urge you to visit https://www.fatnutritionist.com/ and to look into patterns of disordered eating, particularly orthorexia.

Rank-ordering foods on a moral/orthdox scale is disordered eating. Like, clinically.

Know that constitutes healthy food? Food that provides you with nutrition in the form of accessible calories and doesn’t rip up your digestive system or cause an allergic reaction (subjective to individuals! Some foods are perfectly health for some people and unhealthy for others!)

Butter pound cake with cream cheese frosting is healthy food.

A chunk of flank steak smothered in whiskey and honey is healthy food.

A giant bowl of chili is healthy food (with or without beans in it!).

Duck fat melted into a pile of rosemary-infused mashed potatoes is healthy food.

Chicken dredged in flour and fried in fat (Ideally lard, really. But any nonhydrogenated fat is fine - hydrogenated fats should not be raised to frying temps for carcinogen reasons) IS HEALTHY FOOD.

The overwhelming majority of foods that haven’t been utterly fucked with through super-refinement and chemical amendment (spoilers this is done most often to 'diet' foods) are, by the grace of four billion years of evolution, HEALTHY FOOD. 

Boiling a slice of potato in oil does not render it unhealthy. Boiling a chicken breast quarter in oil does not render it unhealthy.

You are fucking WRONG and would do well to sit down and shut up.

And even when foods are unarguably unhealthy? When they cause the people who eat them to be ill?

EATING THEM IS NOT A MORAL CONCERN. YOU ARE NOT A BAD PERSON IF YOU EAT UNHEALTHY FOOD, REGARDLESS OF WHY YOU DO IT.

Healthiness is not a moral choice. You are allowed to make decisions in the full knowledge that they are unhealthy, because your body and your life are your own. It can get dicey if your health choices legitimately cause harm to others (I.E. cause you to neglect or abuse other people for whom you are responsible, like children or elders) but if that’s off the table? YOUR CHOICES ARE YOUR OWN. And in any case whatsoever:

NO ONE IS OBLIGATED TO BE OR STAY HEALTHY.

Sure, health is nice. Many people choose to pursue it. Longevity is nice. Many people choose to pursue that. But they are not the only legitimate choices on earth, nor are they inherently ~better~ than making other life choices that counteract or sacrifice the above.

If you tell me that eating all-butter pound cake will cause me to die at 50, whereas not eating that cake will allow me to live to 100, my choice becomes

A fifty-year life with the cake

vs.

A hundred year life without it

And know what? If I decide that fifty years of delicious cake is a worthwhile endeavor and a well-spent life, one I’d prefer to a cakeless life no matter how long? THAT’S MY CHOICE. WHY DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO TAKE IT FROM ME?

(Note: Any civilization that is not attempting with all of its effort to ensure that every single person in it can CHOOSE maximally nutritious food if they want it is a piss-poor civilization in need of serious overhaul (the US in the year 2024 is a fucking dystopia)

That person up there bitching about fried chicken from 2024 needs to shut the fuck up and let people eat. Fried chicken is better than NO chicken.

Among the strategies for treating disordered eating is acknowledgment that there is no such thing as bad food. It's all good.

Eat what you can, and focus on incrementally getting back to a 'normal' diet, whatever that means for your situation. I've known people who dug their way out via fruit juice and vitamin supplements. Do whatever works.

I'm aware that I'm privileged, just as I'm aware that the US government is a POS to minorities and people in poverty. The government is especially a POS to minorities and those in poverty under Trump's presidency, at the current moment, and those cooks were doing the lord's work.
