stop hating fat people. especially yourself. “oh I don’t hate fat people” okay then why do you act like fatness is a moral failing? being fat is just your body’s response to various factors in your life. it is morally neutral. if you’re unhappy, deal with the root factors of the unhappiness, not the fatness. your body is doing the best it can to get you through whatever you have going on. be kind to it and stop hating it

when you hate your own fatness and you verbalize it, everyone around you who is fat also hears that you hate them. you may not mean to, but people around you feel judged when you act like that. stop hating fat people

I think that the whole point is to be basically decent to each other and to eat good food

Art, family, doing gay shit with ur friends, agreeable work, and soup. That's it.

also sleepytime

And sleepytime

It’s called “environmental amnesia” and it’s an actual issue environmentalists discuss how to combat. The climate crisis makes it more widespread but it’s been something that’s happening for generations. The story of The Lorax describes it beautifully. The idea that what you remember is what you consider normal, but if the changes happen slowly over generations, you don’t see how large they are because you don’t personally remember them being very different, even if you were told stories about it.

holy fuck

If you’re a poor person listen spending less on things that makes you happy/only spending money on essentials will not get you out of poverty but will make you want to kill yourself

Everyone gets so mad when they see poor ppl spend money on anything other than food and rents and i gotta tell you being a “good” poor is a misery trip you’ll never please these people

I think the first one is from that episode when Peter produces his own tv channel and the second one is when Lois becomes a model and she gets hooked on pills or coke

I was actually just reading about this in Caste: The Origins of our Discontent. The author talks about how one’s body goes into stress or anxiety or defense mode when the person knows they’re being followed, watched, or otherwise scrutinized. She brought race into it. A Nigerian man, who was just a person in his country, was healthy as anything. He got to the U.S. and within a year, his doctor told him he was suddenly pre-diabetic and had high blood pressure. He never had those things in his country. He learned that being Black in the U.S. is a very different experience than being Black in a Black-centric country. The author elaborated more about those in poverty, women, and being a minority in general. Having that “fight or flight” triggered in the body, sometimes for hours or days or weeks at a time, degrades the body’s natural defenses, making them more vulnerable to disease.

[image ID: a tweet by @/jfitzgeraldMD that reads: In med school, I took an elective called “Stress”, foolishly thinking I was going to learn about meditation and yoga. Instead the professor spent 6 weeks proving that being poor or a minority literally destroys your health on a molecular level, and I think about that every day. /end ID]

calling my lover "mine" but not in the way that my toothbrush or notebook are mine, mine in the way my neighborhood is mine, and also everybody else's, "mine" like mine to tend to, mine to care for, mine to love. "mine" not like possession but devotion.
