Are you encouraging people to be “healthy” or do you think everyone is beautiful the way they are?

Everyone knows fitness is a fatphobic tool of facism

I'm gonna link this ask where I've addressed all of this before and I'm also going to explain all the points of faulty logic here:

It you think fitness and fatness are mutually exclusive, congratulations, you have internalized a very fatphobic myth. Building muscle, improving flexibility and endurance, consuming more nutrients, prioritizing hydration and quality rest are fitness habits that can improve our quality of life. They have nothing to do with our weight and any person at any size could pursue these habits, without pursuing weight loss.

I do not care what you look like. I am not concerned with beauty, that is subjective to begin with. Only you get to decide if you're beautiful and it has absolutely nothing to do with your fitness level.

I am concerned with demystifying fitness and making it accessible to anyone who wants to pursue it. I want to decouple fitness from vanity.

Having a strong core is valuable. Having visibly defined ab muscles is not. I want to shift the zeitgeist so that fitness is not seen as a tool of aesthetic modification, but as a tool of functionality.

I am chronically ill. I will never be "healthy" but pursuing fitness has improved my chronic pain dramatically, improved my balance (which is a big deal given than I am dyspraxic) helps regulate my mental state, and so, so much more. It also helped me gain weight, despite the fact that my Crohn's disease makes putting on weight extremely hard for me.

The truth is fascists would love if we all abandoned fitness. They would love to rule over a weak populace that has no ability to fight back. But fitness isn't their tool.

They've done everything they can to poison the well around fitness and make it as inaccessible to the working class as possible. I want to undo all of that. I want fitness to be a tool of the people as it originally was.

Please destroy the idea that being fit means pursuing thinness. It does not. Please also remember that fitness is just a hobby. You don't have to pursue it if you don't want to. Lots of hobbies provide benefits but that doesn't mean it's a moral imperative that you pursue them.

It's just an option. One that's currently shrouded in myths that I want to destroy. That's what I'm here for. To teach people, who want to learn, how to pursue fitness, not weight loss, in ways that accommodate their level, their interests, and their goals. And I'm here to remind people like you that when you position fitness as antithetical to fatness, you are perpetuating fatphobia, not fighting it.

“That’s extremely selfish of you have you considered that maybe you deserve to be abused?”

Please remember the lives lost, and the lives forever changed. Orlando had a rainbow crosswalk to memorialize this loss but governor Desantis ordered its removal last year. The club has also closed, but the city is currently in the process to create another memorial.

Tumblr en concreto es muy anglocentrista y un gran número de los usuarios no habla más que inglés. Si quieres que tus cosas lleguen a gente con gustos u opiniones similares, escribirlo en inglés asegura que la gente por lo menos lo pueda leer. Suma a esto el hecho de que bastantes series y tal son originalmente de habla inglesa (y a veces ni se traducen a tu lengua madre), lo que crea un fandom principalmente angloparlante.

Más allá de eso, también hay que tener en cuenta las diferencias culturales que surgen entre fandoms de distintos idiomas. Por ejemplo, durante mucho tiempo el fandom de Vocaloid angloparlante y el hispanohablante han chocado con respecto a temas como la piratería. En ocasiones es complicado manejar estas expectativas, y si sabes varios idiomas, peor incluso.

A mí me gustaría subir cositas en español y encontrar a gente que comparta mis gustos, pero en Tumblr en concreto es casi imposible. Tumblr ya es de por sí mucho más «nicho» en espacios hispanohablantes que otras RRSS como TikTok o Instagram, y si tus intereses no son muy populares, despídete.

La lingüística de los espacios de fans también está hipercentrada en el inglés. No es una pareja, es un ship; no es un universo alternativo, es un AU; no es destripar, es hacer spoiler, etc. Incluso las siglas: en español es LGTB, pero lo que sueles ver es LGBT. Parece una tontería, pero esta disonancia cognitiva hace que resulte muchísimo más complicado hablar en tu propio idioma en un fandom. Por no hablar de las innumerables referencias a posts o a memes... en inglés todo, por supuesto. Como te atrevas a hacer cualquier referencia cultural no inglesa, no te entiende nadie. Pierde la gracia.

Safety, ethics, and sustainability are all a part of urban gardening and foraging. I'm sorry that means you need to do homework before you can do anything, I know that sounds lame. But life is complicated.

Daily reminder: Leafy greens like kales uptake all those delicious heavy metals in urban soils like lead and cadmium.

Don’t eat sidewalk-crack kale.

Here's some cool references from the EPA on safe urban gardening:
