To My Lovely Liar (in mom voice): I'm not angry I'm just disappointed...

I made it 49 hours. why did no one ever tell me how much nicotine withdrawal sucks? didn't think I’d have to suffer through the exact same symptoms I get when I try to quit anti depressants cold turkey. for days.

Hijacking this post to say that these things happen everywhere. I live in Europe. I've always been a big person. I've been sick my entire life and always doctors would tell me "oh it's psychosomatic" or "oh you just need to lose some weight" or "why don't you lose 20kgs and then come back? I can't help you right now". It took me going into private healthcare to get diagnosed. In the last 5 years, I've gotten diagnosed with a neurological disorder, hypermobility (not the fun snake person kind but the my joints always hurt and I'm constantly at risk of dislocating something), fibromyalgia, chemical depression (where the brain doesn't make enough dopamine/serotonin), adhd, and I'm currently undergoing testing because we believe I may suffer from Crohn's diseases or colitis ulcerosa. Other tests are still pending.

One of the most awful appointments I've had so far was when I had to go see a physical therapist for the pain in my hands. (At the time I was not yet diagnosed with hypermobility, which we later found out was the cause for the pain and other symptoms I had.) I stepped into this man's office and before I could even introduce myself, he looked me up and down and said, "come back when you've lost 20kgs". I was there for my hands. My HANDS. I was unable to dress myself, do my hair or prepare food because of the constant pain, subluxations and dislocations. But oh sure losing weight would have fixed my hands (said with the most sarcasm I can muster).

I went home immediately, called my health insurance to explain what happened and made sure this person never got paid (for the consult that he had the balls to log, by the way).

Fat people have the same fucking rights as anyone else. I acknowledge that some symptoms may stem from, or be exacerbated by being overweight but it is never, NEVER a reason to be denied healthcare. Advocate for yourself. Get a different provider if you need to. Bring a friend who can help advocate for you when a doctor is not treating you as they should. But never let any doctor or healthcare provider deny you the care that you need, just because you're fat. You deserve better than that.

This is why fat shaming can have tragic consequences.

So there’s a trend going round where you draw Miku inspired by your own culture and normally I just sit those out bc i’m from England but then the image of her covered in fake tan with the full chav makeup and sloppily bleached blue pigtails popped into my head and i almost threw up laughing. So here’s bri’ish Miku. She smells like impulse body spray and spent the last 30 minutes arguing with the teacher who told her to take her coat off. It’s chewsday innit

edit: i fucked up with the cigarette i know it’s the wrong way round blease stop making fun of me 😔💔

one of the things that's the most fucking frustrating for me about arguing with climate change deniers is the sheer fucking scope of how much it matters. sweating in my father's car, thinking about how it's the "hottest summer so far," every summer. and there's this deep, roiling rage that comes over me, every time.

the stakes are wrong, is the thing. that's part of what makes it not an actual debate: the other side isn't coming to the table with anything to fucking lose.

like okay. i am obviously pro gun control. but there is a basic human part of me that can understand and empathize with someone who says, "i'm worried that would lead to the law-abiding citizens being punished while criminals now essentially have a superpower." i don't agree, but i can tell the stakes for them are also very high.

but let's say the science is wrong and i'm wrong and the visible reality is wrong and every climate disaster refugee is wrong. let's say you're right, humans aren't causing it or it's not happening or whatever else. let's just say that, for fun.

so we spend hundreds of millions of dollars making the earth cleaner, and then it turns out we didn't need to do that. oops! we cleaned the earth. our children grow up with skies full of more butterflies and bees. lawns are taken over with rich local biodiversity. we don't cry over our electric bills anymore. and, if you're staunchly capitalist and i need to speak ROI with you - we've created so many jobs in developing sectors and we have exciting new investment opportunities.

i am reminded of kodak, and how they did not make "the switch" to digital photography; how within 20 years kodak was no longer a household brand. do we, as a nation, feel comfortable watching as the world makes "the switch" while we ride the laurels of oil? this boggles me. i have heard so much propaganda about how america cannot "fall behind" other countries, but in this crucial sector - the one that could actually influence our own monopolies - suddenly we turn the other cheek. but maybe you're right! maybe it will collapse like just another silicone valley dream. but isn't that the crux of capitalism? that some economies will peter out eventually?

but let's say you're right, and i'm wrong, and we stopped fracking for no good reason. that they re-seed quarries. that we tear down unused corporate-owned buildings or at least repurpose them for communities. that we make an effort, and that effort doesn't really help. what happens then? what are the stakes. what have we lost, and what have we gained?

sometimes we take our cars through a car wash and then later, it rains. "oh," we laugh to ourselves. we gripe about it over coffee with our coworkers. what a shame! but we are also aware: the car is cleaner. is that what you are worried about? that you'll make the effort but things will resolve naturally? that it will just be "a waste"?

and what i'm right. what if we're already seeing people lose their houses and their lives. what if it is happening everywhere, not just in coastal towns or equatorial countries you don't care about. what if i'm right and you're wrong but you're yelling and rich and powerful. so we ignore all of the bellwethers and all of the indicators and all of the sirens. what if we say - well, if it happens, it's fate.

nevermind. you wouldn't even wear a mask, anyway. i know what happens when you see disaster. you think the disaster will flinch if you just shout louder. that you can toss enough lives into the storm for the storm to recognize your sacrifice and balk. you argue because it feels good to stand up against "the liberals" even when the situation should not be political. you are busy crying for jesus with a bullhorn while i am trying to usher people into a shelter. you've already locked the doors, even on the church.

the stakes are skewed. you think this is some intellectual "debate" to win, some funny banter. you fuel up your huge unmuddied truck and say suck it to every citizen of that shitbird state california. serves them right for voting blue!

and the rest of us are terrified of the entire fucking environment collapsing.

Me: [sees everyone talking about how Assad Zaman was "literally" coming up with RPF about himself and Eric Bogosian in an interview]

Me: ah, fandom's doing its little "interpret an innocent comment in Some Kind Of Way" thing again, let's go find the video and do our own critical thinking about what was actually said here--

Assad: What would happen if I said-- [words that cannot be interpreted as anything but RPF fanfic]

Me:

Me: ok fandom gets a pass on this one actually
