So I was 3 days ago old when I discovered that "Fat Liberation Month" is a thing and is also this month so I'm reposting my fattest™ art for the occasion.

Everybody get more self-loving NOW!!

“Don’t you owe it to yourself to be as healthy as you can?” A question I get a lot by Amanda Martinez Beck

Nope. Health is not the priority of my life— loving myself and the people around me (husband, kids, dog, neighbors, co-workers, strangers) and being fully myself.

“HEALTH” (whatever it means today?) is elusive for a lot of us. It is dependent on so much that is outside of our control: genetics, environment, experiences of trauma, wealth/property, racial injustice.

Instead of obsessing about “being as healthy as possible,” I RECOGNIZE that a lot of it is out of my control, I PRACTICE intuitive eating (cultivating a good relationship with w/ food + joyful movement).

And I live my life to the full IN MY TODAY BODY with the people I love.

Because the purpose of my body is RELATIONSHIP — NOT PERFECTION.

❤️, Amanda

K-Pop Demon Hunters except Bobby and the rest of the crew are fully in on the Demon Hunting thing and they even fight off demons sometimes when they try sabotage their performances behind the stage and Bobby commands the crew like an army of ninjas

Zoey in the restaurant with Mira and Rumi after the Concert for "Golden" got cancelled: "Its ok Rumi. Take all the time you need to get your voice back <:)" The Bobby subplot happening off-screen:

My KPop Demon-Hunters headcanon is that all the "unrealistic" aspects of this movie that contradict with the harsh reality of the Kpop industry can just be attributed to Bobby doing godlike managerial skills and PR

My artwork of the torture scene of 600 Strike featuring all (but two) of the Olympian Gods is blowing up so I thought I'd post my designs of the Olympians! Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Ares, Demeter, Dionysus, Artemis, and Hestia are a bit tentative rn though.

with full sincerity from an autistic big fat (pls pls dont yell at me 😭) why is it considered okay to call it disappointing and devastating if a fat person individually decides to lose weight? the matty matheson anon kinda put me off with that bc i thought part of fat lib meant not judging people for the decisions they make with their body. it felt like an entitlement to fat peoples bodies. not trying to accuse anyone of anything or rain on anyone’s parade i am just genuinely confused why this isn’t considered the case

that's a great question! here's my perspective on this. on a surface level, I can see why it seems hypocritical. but fat liberation means liberation specifically from diet culture and the pursuit of weight loss/thinness. it would be a different story if systemic fatphobia didn't exist and people who chose weight loss were doing it with zero societal pressure, completely out of their own volition, and it genuinely was making them happy. then I'd have no problem with it. but we do not exist in a vacuum. I believe in body autonomy fiercely, I would never stop someone from doing what they want with their body. but I believe that everyone has the right to take informed risks, and the majority of people are uninformed when it comes to the dangers of weight loss. if you've done the research, you'd know that dieting and intentional weight loss is not sustainable, causes weight cycling, stress and mental health issues, and is the number one predictor of eating disorders. intentional weight loss is always harmful. when the standard is harmful, and public figures reinforce the standard, they are reinforcing harm. so yeah, that goes against my values as a fat liberationist. I personally feel sad when I see fat celebrities buying into fatphobic, white supremacist ideals and fighting against their bodies. they often have the money and resources to make it look easy, contributing to the idea that the thin standard is achievable for the average fat person, and therefore should be sought after, when in fact, it is nearly impossible. it makes me sad knowing that they have so much internalized fatphobia and/or lack the education to know that what they are doing/promoting is harmful. I don't blame them, since striving to be thin is a survival tactic in the hideously anti-fat culture we find ourselves in. but I will continue expressing the sadness and grief I feel when a fat celebrity falls prey to the trap that is diet culture, putting themselves through starvation, stress, and suffering. I think we need to be critiquing this phenomenon as a community, especially because there are extremely few fat public figures who embrace their bodies in the face of severe marginalization.

anti-fatness is not just body shaming.

anti-fatness is discrimination. anti-fatness is having next to no legal protections for being discriminated against. anti-fatness is being denied housing, jobs, receiving less pay and promotions (legally) because of your size. anti-fatness is being denied access to clothing, seating, transportation, and other human rights because infrastructure has been designed to exclude you. anti-fatness is less likelihood of receiving a fair trial. anti-fatness is dehumanization. anti-fatness is being denied necessary surgeries, but not surgery that amputates the digestive tract with the intent to starve and shrink you (it doesn’t work either). anti-fatness is mutilation. anti-fatness is being subject to torture devices that bolt your mouth shut. anti-fatness is being told by close friends, family, and professionals that you are better off living with an eating disorder or other life-threatening illness. anti-fatness sells you starvation as a guaranteed opt-out of oppression, but doesn’t tell you that bodies will always regain weight to survive. anti-fatness blames and punishes you for failing at an achievement that is quite literally impossible. anti-fatness is a $90 billion dollar industry. anti-fatness is being denied gender-affirming care. anti-fatness is being barred from in vitro fertilization and reproductive healthcare. anti-fatness is being barred from adopting children. anti-fatness is being removed from your loving parents because they couldn’t make you thin. anti-fatness is intentionally starving your own baby so they won’t get fat. anti-fatness is disproportionately high suicide rates. anti-fatness is being killed at the hands of medical neglect and mistreatment. anti-fatness is the world preferring a dead body over a fat one.

Anti-fatness has always been about white supremacy.

The ideal thin body was constructed as a marker of whiteness and “purity” before any of this was ever made to be about health. Dr. Sabrina Strings has spent her career studying this history. In her book, Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia, Dr. Strings discusses how constructions of race led to the thin ideal.

“Over the decades, the rise in biracial children would break down the way that slave owners saw Blackness and whiteness. To combat the hypocrisy they created, owners invented new ways to dehumanize the enslaved population. They made a calculated decision to start putting more value on white physiques versus Black ones. In her research, Strings found that Black women’s bodies were otherized even more than Black males. For colonizers who hadn’t seen diverse body types before, they quickly categorized the Black female figure as ‘deviant,’ ‘greedy,’ and ‘overtly sexual.’ The fact that we still use these terms to describe fat bodies today is all the evidence we need to understand that fatphobia is directly linked to racism, not health. This mindset was also strengthened by Protestantism. Slave owners looked for any way to prove their power over the enslaved people, and they frequently used religion as ‘proof’ of their racist superiority. Additionally, Protestant belief encouraged various ways to become closer to God, which included eating as little as possible. This would resonate the most with white women. They had as much to do with perpetuating fatphobia as their husbands. White women were desperate to show their own power against Black women on the plantation, and the difference between their bodies was the perfect rift. And so began the centuries-old belief that thinness is beautiful, and fatness is ugly” (Sassenrath, 2023).

The BMI was created in the 1800s by a statistician named Adolphe Quetelet, who did not study medicine, to gather statistics of the average height and weight of specifically white, European, upper-middle-class men to assist the government in allocating resources. It was never intended as a measure of individual body fat, build, or health (Karasu, 2016). Quetelet is also credited with founding the field of anthropometry, including the racist pseudoscience of phrenology. Quetelet’s L’homme Moyen would be used as a measurement of fitness to inspire, and as a scientific justification, for eugenics (Eugenics archive).

Now Trump is launching a new private health AI tracking system to "help the nation lose weight."

"Your body belongs to the nation! Your body belongs to the Führer! You have the duty to be healthy! Food is not a private matter!"

These were Nazi slogans (referenced in The Nazi War on Cancer, Robert N. Proctor, p 120).

If you want to fight against fascism, you must get behind fat liberation.
