idk how I feel about this little black girl being narratively compared to a rescue dog...

If you're not fat and/or not in fat liberation spaces, you might not notice the problem in this screenshot.

This is an image of clothing currently being sold on the Hot Topic site. On the left, we have the straight size model in this cardigan. On the right is the "plus size" model in the same cardigan.

Here is the problem.

The photo of the thin model shows her face. In fact, all but one of the photos of the cardigan in the page itself shows her face.

The fat model is headless. In fact, she's headless in every single picture.

This begs the question of why. Why is it important to show the thin model's face (the thin model who vaguely resembles the elfin character the cardigan is supposed to be for) but unimportant to show the fat model's face? Or, maybe, more to the point, why is it so important to NOT show the fat model's face?

Even the photos of the back of the cardigan, it's the same. The thin model's head and hood are in the picture; the fat model is headless.

The only picture of the thin model where you can't see her head is a close up of the cardigan stitching detail.

It's a little thing in the grand scheme of things, yes. But it's deliberate. It's consistent. It's that little extra bit of dehumanizing that fat folks get that their thin counterparts don't.

Sure, you can wear the cute outfit, as long as you don't make us look at you. You can't be Arwen; you're fat. You're not a graceful fantasy character; you're fat. How dare you think you deserve to be seen?

You're fat.

NEVER forget that Australia is, at it's core, a deeply racist country.

so much of the most compelling bits of ofmd are about abuse and community. like i think we can all agree the best run of episodes is 1x08 to 2x03. most of the major characters are both victims and perpetrators of abusive behaviours depending on shifting power structures and how they move through the world. and so much of the fallout is about how they deal with that as individuals and as a queer community crew.

izzy dying isn't grim because he's uniquely queer, or troubled, or disabled in a cast full of queer and disabled characters. it's grim because it flattens the dynamic of characters (izzy but also ed and stede) who are all reckoning with their abuses of power and how they can renegotiate their spaces within communities. sometimes that means leaving - stede had to leave his wife and that was dealt with well. but i want stories about harm within community that doesn't end with a redemptive death, or running away to start an inn.

This looks very pretty and the music is wonderful and the acting is top tier.

But this is not Anne's story. Her characters. This is not honouring her book nor the memory of her dead daughter.

This truly is just a poorly written telenovela with inconsistencies galore. But hey, it looks and sounds nice, I guess.

I'm trying to write a fic and I'm hung up on a detail

If you were bitten by a person, which would you go for to disinfect the wound? Not with much research, not with intense recalling of medical knowledge. Imagine someone just bit the fuck out of you, you're understandably stressed and freaked out, and you ran to the medicine cabinet to clean it.

for the "other" option, I know this is the shitpost website, so I don't mind if you put a joke in the tags, but I still would like your serious answer 👀
