“The third theme of inaccuracy [in the weight-centered health paradigm] relates to the depiction of relationships between body weight, morbidity, and mortality. Life expectancy is the primary health indicator used at the population level. The claim that life expectancy is reduced as a direct result of body weight higher than the ‘normal weight’ BMI category is not supported by large epidemiological studies. The largest epidemiological study ever conducted followed 1.8 million people over a 10-year follow-up period and demonstrated an inverted U shaped relationship between BMI and life expectancy, with the highest life expectancy in people with a BMI between 26 and 28 (in the ‘overweight’ BMI category) and the lowest life expectancy in those with a BMI under 18 (in the ‘underweight’ BMI category). Those with a BMI between 18 and 20 (in the ‘healthy weight’ BMI category) had a lower life expectancy than those with a BMI between 34 and 36 (in the ‘obese’ BMI category;).”

a horror film not being scary isnt a bad thing. horror is supposed to HORRIFY, and conflating it with this obsession with scares has really messed with the genre imo. its why so many films are ineffective with audiences, because they leave no lasting impression due to the fact that filmmakers are focusing so muchon trying to scare you and not actually exploring things that deeply unsettle us.

Hey, this is just the daily reminder for the twilight rennaisance that you should care about other native peoples than the Quilleute people. You should know the name of the tribe who lives/d on the land you inhabit, and the closest reservation to you, At LEAST. I dont think most ppl know that information but you live on stolen land so get to fucking learning it
