Have to keep my phone alive that whole time.

But please,

especially if you are struggling right now,

Live long enough to take a shit on their grave

What ever strength or consistency fits the transgression

There is an artist that I greatly admire and who's body of work is a big inspiration to me. They have been in a bigger body for most of the time I've known them.

Recently, they underwent a drastic weightloss. For context, they had been out of the spotlight for a while and when they came back, they had definitely dropped some weight, but they were still recognisable.

They then underwent another significant weightloss about a few months to a year after that and now they are completely unrecognisable to me.

My first thought when I saw this was, I hope they aren't taking Ozempic (or however it's spelled). In part due to it being in shortage and medically necessary for non-weightloss patients and in part because I hear if you stop Ozempic you gain all the weight back, and I don't want that sword of Damocles hanging over anyone who has had to struggle because of the size of their body.

But I don't know this artist. The later motivation does feel a bit controlling and gross. There's probably more work I need to do on my fatphobia, but we decolonize the mind in steps, not all at once.

It's my 3 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Hmmm... yikes?

It's ok to like what you like

And so, when your soul screams out for what it needs, don't dismiss it based on your evaluation/assessment of what is reasonable, proper, possible or just.
