Now Iām married to a wonderful person and we have a child together. Getting a note on this brought me back to this post and it made me feel sick to look at.
But I wanted to reblog it again to make sure others arenāt suffering in toxic relationships.

things ābody positivityā movements should address besides weight/fat:
(dis)ability
features associated with non-whiteness
hair type
lots of body hair / no body hair / little body hair / hair in all places / losing hair
acneĀ
skin conditions
scars
stretch marks
skin discolorations
different ways that skin tans
tanlines
etc
so when white feminists show me pictures of fat able-bodied white women with super smooth skin and no discolorations/skin marks and no body hair and say ālove your body!!1!ā itās like nope.Ā
I may be fat but Iām also so many other things that are looked down upon and policed. If your body positivity doesnāt seek to dismantle white supremacy/ableism/cissexism/etc, what good is your body positivity? who is it helping?

Watching my toddler figure out how to language is fascinating. Yesterday we were stumped when he kept insisting there was a āLego winnerā behind his bookshelf - it turned out to be a little Lego trophy cup. Not knowing the word for ātrophyā, heād extrapolated a word for āthing you can winā. And then, just now, he held up his empty milk container and said, āMummy? Itās not rubbish. Itās allowed to be a bottle.ā - meaning, effectively, āI want this. Donāt throw it away.ā But to an adult ear, thereās something quite lovely about āitās allowed to be a bottle,ā as if weāre acknowledging that the object is entitled to keep its title even in the absence of the original function.
My son was about three when he came to me in the middle of the day and said,Ā āMommy, thereās a knight behind the bush.ā I thought he meant a toy knight or something. So I follow him outside and he goes,Ā āListen. Do you hear it? Itās night behind the bush.ā It was a cricket. A cricket was standing in the little patch of shade under the bush, chirping. So, my son saw this dark area with accompanying nighttime sounds and decided, okay, well, that is a night right there. Their brains are incredible.
Somewhere amid all this, Bono started talking about his childrenās relationship with music, and he dropped this little nugget:
āTurns out, in Bonoās world, a rock-and-roll revolution is āaround the corner,ā all because (ostensibly white) teenaged boys donāt have enough of a modern outlet for their male rage, since it isnāt sufficient just to lay claim to Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Guns ān Roses, Pearl Jam, Black Sabbath, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Metallica, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Pink Floyd, the Ramones, The Clash, Van Halen, the Sex Pistols, Talking Heads, Bob Dylan, the Velvet Underground, the Doors, Iggy Pop, Aerosmith, David Bowie, Van Halen, Elvis Presley, Bruce Springsteen, Crosby, Stills & Nash, The Cure, Frank ZappaāI could go on (and on, and on, and on, and on), but I wonāt.
āIn the end, what is rock & roll? Rage is at the heart of it,ā Bono told Rolling Stone, adding, āSome great rock & roll tends to have that, which is why the Who were such a great band. Or Pearl Jam. Eddie has that rage.ā Todayās (white) men, though, reportedly have no music to call their own, and are therefore relegated only to releasing their rage at being the least oppressed members of society via mediums like film, television, national lawmaking, company CEOing, and Twitter-threading. To name a few.ā

Male chauvinism + sexism = ignoring the rocking women out there recording and touring, while whining aboutĀ ārock isnāt rocking because music is girly.āĀ
HOW TF IS IT GIRLS FAULT IF MALE BANDS ARENāT MAKING āRAGEā ALBUMS THAT ARE SELLING? JFC THE WOMAN BLAMING IS STRONG WITH THIS WEAK-ASS ONE.
I saw Courtney Barnett live in 2016 and she killed it - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to see her if she comes to your town.

I went to the āBehind the Scenesā panel for Moana at CTN expo this year and the explanation is as follows:
In development, HeiHei used to be a character meant to be Moanaās watchdog. He stands to the side making sure she stays out of trouble (and away from the sea) and judges her (sort of like Flint the hummingbird from Pocahontas) but the directors were worried that it made him too unlikeable. John Lasseter gave the crew about 48 hours to think of a way to figure out how to save his character or else heād be cut from the film. So instead HeiHeiās IQ was lowered waaaay down, making him more lovable and funny. During a story pitch in which Moana had to retrieve the Heart of Te Fiti from the Kakamora, she originally only retrieved the stone. The artists reboarded it exactly the same except HeiHei swallowed it and the Kakamora was lugging around a chicken instead and it instantly made everything more hilarious. To which Lasseter exclaimed at that moment:Ā āTHE CHICKEN LIVES!ā an inside joke that was kept at the end of the film when the ocean spat HeiHei onto the shore and Maui remarksĀ āthe chicken lives!ā Ā
best thing about this movie was the perfectly marketed/polished commercial animal side kick just waiting to be the new olaf and then its in the movie for like 3 mins tops and instead a chicken that eats rocks gets to be the disney animal companionā¢
Once they rewrote the character they were in a panic. Who could voice such a role?
None other than Alan Tudyk, known as āWalt Disney Studiosā lucky charmā due to his roles as Duke in Frozen, King Candy in Wreck-It Ralph and KTSO in Rogue One,Ā who made the front freaking pageĀ of the Wall Street Journal due to his performance.
Tudyk says:Ā āThe character youāre playing, even though heās a rooster and is really stupid, you approach it in the same way you would approach Hamlet, which is exactly how I approached it. But they give you the circumstances. āYouāre on the boat. You didnāt expect to be here. You just climbed in a boat to maybe sleep. You donāt even know why you climbed in the boat. Youāre really that dumb. Every three minutes is a new world to you, so you see that youāre trapped on this boat, and you freak out. Go.āĀ
I mean condoms are so good for women to have safe sex with. You can put your fingers in them for safe fingering or you can turn them into dental dams for safe eating, or you can put them on a dildo to prevent the spreading of germs as long as you put a new one on for every person and orifice. Also trans women exist. Safe sex is important y'all.
