Oh Worm?

Conservative beauty standards are back with a vengeance which means it's especially important to go out this summer with bellies out and bodies unshaved. Also be unapologetically disabled with mobility aids and wearable medical devices and stim toys and ear defenders and all that stuff. You need it. People need to see it. Everyone needs to be reminded that life is unquestioningly more enjoyable when you're not living inside an arbitrary set of rules created by people who are offended by all the wrong things.

Please don’t make me say it.

wishing all outdoor workers, delivery drivers, people who have to walk to work, bus riders, etc a very Don't die in this heat

AND HOMELESS PEOPLE!!!!!!

It also genuinely really bothers me how so many people's "pro fat" posts are along the lines of "Yeah, fat is fine/good, eat whatever you want as much as you want!" Like yes that's a good sentiment and yes fear of fatness is what causes so many people to eat less than they otherwise would. I Understand This. But it's important to me that people understand. Someone being fat does not actually mean they eat more than a thin person does. Just because you're ostensibly defending or praising the fat body does not mean you aren't partaking in dangerous stereotyping

"that character can't be trans fem because we need rep for boys who are feminine" and "these characters can't be gay because we need rep for healthy male friendship" are the same mindset of hyperfocusing on fan response instead of actual text. where are all the trans fem characters with detailed self-acceptance arcs??? where are all the gay couples with focused plot build-up, especially in genres considered "masculine" like action??? in addition to prioritizing cishet sensibilities with a thin progressive veil, it's just a nonsensical thing to say because the representation being defended is more common than the representation being derided as "actually following gender roles tbh."

man i just dont know why im so afraid all the time (<- has the disorder that makes you afraid all the time)

like i understand broken clocks and all that but when youre directly reblogging from known unapologetic racists who couch their bigotry in vaguely lefty language... it doesnt reflect well on you to your comrades of color, my white friend.
