oh fascism rearing its ugly head u know what u as an american need to do? try your best to look away and buy yourself lots of little treats. i know its scary but log off and participate in the self care industrial complex. strive for apathy and reward yourself by buying frivolous products.

how life feels when you dgaf about male loneliness

Then we wonder why men make up 3/4 of suicides

no we dont

It will never not baffle me how hard society tries to insist that fatness is an abnormality. The average western woman wears plus size clothing. One of the smallest garments on the scale is called a medium. Most people with anorexia are in the overweight bmi category, yet somehow that's known as "atypical anorexia". Fatness is often labeled the cause of a number of diseases, but there are literally no diseases exclusive to fat bodies. Looking at movies and television, you'd think the world was 98% thin people. It's not.

My point isn't that if it was pretty rare to be fat, fatphobia would be okay. Of course not.

My point is that we're surrounded by all these artificial indicators that fatness is unnatural and uncommon and it's just not true?? Humans are not always thin and we've never all been thin and we're not all meant to be thin. Fat humans are a normal type of human. Fatness is a feature, not a bug.

it’s crazy how men have like mobilized en masse against women’s rights and women are still arguing amongst ourselves about like whether we should be nicer to men. in a perfect world we would just start killing men for real.

non fat people will take a post about fatphobia and view it as a personal attack or find an excuse to shift the focus on themselves instead

"i got told to eat a burger!!" "skinny people have body dysmorphia too" "i got called a skeleton"

i got told to killmyself for wearing a bathing suit, to cutdeep for standing up for someone being bullied for being fat, and very often i am being told to starve myself simply for existing as a fat person.

not uncommon experiences either, quite often for me actually! and im not even considered to be that big compared to other fat people.

fatphobia kills, through either fatphobia in medical spaces leading to medical neglect, to starving to death from an encouraged eating disorder, to committingsuicide over taught self hatred and shame, to being fatally attacked in a hate crime.

i'd never diminish someone else's eating disorder or bullying history, but if the topic is fatphobia and fatness and you aren't personally affected by fatphobia... it's not about you. move on, make your own space!

i found out about a job opening i want to apply to but the deadline is tomorrow and i can't find my diploma anywhere. should i send something anyway and hope my cover letter saves it and say if needed i can hand it in later? i have semi worked with these people from time to time so i don't want to seem like i can't even put a proper application together on the other hand my diploma has little to do with the job I would apply for. should i just say fuck it?

thanks guys, your replies helped me get out of my overthinking anxiousness. luckily i did find at least a scanned version of my diploma and managed to send a complete application. 👍
