side benefit of communal all-gender restrooms is that they may be our best chance to shame cis men into washing their hands

i was in a communal all-gender restroom today and as i was washing my hands a middle-aged man came out of one of the stalls, started to make for the door, clocked me standing at the sinks, and changed course to wash his hands with a real hangdog look on his face

Being hairy is so awesome #mammal

we really can’t overstate how damaging it has been to indoctrinate the public with the idea that if they let themselves eat as much as they want, they’ll eat too much. human bodies, when permitted over the long term to eat as much as they want, actually get really, really good at calibrating their hunger and satiety, and will over time eat exactly the right amount for themselves. the common conception of a balanced eater as a minimal or restrained eater is absolutely wrong. balanced eaters eat quite a lot (compared to diet cultural ideas about right intake amounts), and they do so consistently and permanently. healthy, balanced eating isn’t some tightrope walk, it’s a gigantic net of total permission to eat.

If your body is sending you mixed or incorrect signals regarding your hunger or thirst, that is a medical issue. Sometimes a learned one from society teaching you disordered eating, but still an issue. Your body should not be at a point where it doesn’t know when it’s full or not. If your body has stopped sending you signals all together, you have gotten used to starving or dehydration and that’s bad. You are chronically malnourished/dehydrated and you need to start increasing your intake until your body starts sending you those signals again.

The anti-vax and anti-science propaganda is very real - and also, frankly I think doctors and nurses would've had an easier time getting people not to fall for it if they spent less time treating people like fucking shit

This post is about a lot of things but it is especially about racism, medical abuse, and eugenics

call me crazy but I think it'd be easier if surgeons learned how to operate on fat bodies instead of expecting every single fat person to lose weight before getting surgery

today, 8th august, is severe & very severe ME awareness day. it was chosen to honour sophia mirza who died of severe ME. please consider and remember us today 💗

Oat milk was discovered much more recently than you may have known. Like many now-familiar technologies, it was discovered by accident during the Apollo program when NASA discovered what a zero-g environment does to goat milk.

substance “abuse”? that can’t be right…… every substance I use was cherished
