yes I'm a Christian writer. Yes I'm a Christian artist. Yes I'm a Christian whatever--I'm so tired of people being like "I'm not a Christian ___, I'm actually a ______ who is Christian" what?!? No! Say the "Christian" part of my identification louder, it's the only part that matters.

I have been crucified with Christ, therefore it is no longer I who live! No longer I who put pen to paper! No longer I who type! No longer I who thinks and plans and practices and works and communicates--it's Christ who lives in me! He must increase! I must decrease!

If you're a Christian, knock that bogus worldly self-centered crap about "no I'm not part of the 'Christian genre' so I'm not a 'Christian whatever,' because I want to be taken seriously," off. Knock it off, shut up, get out of here with that.

Who cares if you're taken seriously? Who are you doing this for? For others? For Christ? Or just for you and your own credit and your own status? Get away from me with that. Ugh.

Anything you do in your life is supposed to be for Christ. You died. You said He was in charge of you from now on--You said He was the sum total of your identity, from now on. Did you mean it? Or did you mean, "everything except my special interests and career?" Of course not.

Anything you do in your life is supposed to be for Christ. That includes your art, your music, your hobby, your writing, your job. You should be so fortunate, so favored, to be called a "Christian" anything. You're not identifying with the "Christian genre," you're identifying with Christ. The word Christian doesn't mean "little Skillet" or "little Frank Peretti" or "little Dallas Jenkins." The word Christian means "little Christ."

You should be so fortunate to be called "Christian" anything, like the disciples were beside themselves with joy to be called "Christian" prisoners and "Christian" slaves. Because they got to be associated with Christ.

Get out of here. Honestly.

I’ll be honest, for as many years at I’ve seen October art/writing challenges (and art challenges the rest of the weeks/months of the year), I’ve only attempted a few and never finished any.

That being said, I think what I’m going to do for my umpteenth attempt this new October is to just.. do. Just do something every day. Any challenge, any prompt, any event, even if it’s mixed and mismatched. Doesn’t matter if it’s finished, though I will try for it. A few well-typed sentences, a sketched drawing, an unfinished study, I’ll still label them a success. I want my goal for this month to be to make improvements in my art and passions and to make an effort. Not bogged down by perfectionism or despair or lack of motivation or whatever else may stop me. I want to make the challenge of this month for me to live my life thoughtfully and love and respect what I bring into it again.

I feel like at the end of the day, even if you can provide an example of someone that could be described as having like, a gendered experience similar to trans women while technically having been afab, like, this does not carry over to the average traditionally tme person trying to claim transfemininity for themselves.

in practice it almost always comes off poorly. either it's misplaced idealism that all trans people broadly navigate gender in the same ways and are therefore wholly interchangeable, or it's some straightforwardly appropriative thing where aspects of transfem bodies/language/subcultures we're often othered over are seen as fashionable when other people emulate them, or some combination thereof.

but at the end of the day transfems need resources and community with other transfems, specifically. there's common ground to be organized around politically, of course, but for practical purposes, we have to be able to easily find info about feminizing hrt, voice training, medical procedures, and so on, we need transfem forward spaces where we can talk amongst ourselves and support each other without people talking over us, and people being weaselly about their relationship to what we mean when we say transfem because they think it makes them cool or whatever will make it harder to organize these kinds of important things in the long run!

as someone who was raised with a comparatively healthy mindset around food, I keep being baffled/concerned by other people’s eating practices that they’ll just drop like it’s no big deal. “I’m doing this intermittent fasting thing where I only eat one meal a day” girl if your one meal is the salad you eat every day for lunch I’m. that’s eating disorder behavior. and they talk about this stuff like it’s normal! “I’m trying out this new meal plan where—“ oh a starvation diet? You’re starving yourself?

did not know I would have a strong emotional reaction to this, but rich people leaning into edge lighting & led strip lighting in upscale home decor disgusts me lmao

just being bitter but it's annoying to see my mom worried about my sister's eating habits and her self-image around weight when at her age i was skipping meals and strictly counting calories but my mom didn't gaf because i was still gaining weight and my behavior was 'normal' dieting.

like i would be fasting all day come home from school at like 5pm break and eat a sandwich and she'd be screaming at me about eating a 'second lunch' and not believe me when i said I hadn't eaten lunch at school. that kinda thing. and she gave me shit about using too much butter and oil in my cooking and it being sooo unhealthy without me actually doing that up until i started college and i could literally show her the empirical amounts of fat in my cooking. like i basically got treated like i had a binge eating problem when i was actively fasting and eating like 600 cal a day and still not losing weight. exhausting.

she's come around a lot on it and is much cooler about it now that i know i have PCOS, because a very close cousin of hers also has it and has had issues with weight her whole life and ended up getting a gastric bypass with some unpleasant complications, mostly due to societal pressure more than like, mobility issues. i think she realizes on some level that for me it's medical and i would be 'scary' fat if i didn't get treatment much younger than her cousin did. even if she can't get that it doesn't matter if it's medical or not bc fatness isn't inherently bad.

but like seriously i'm glad she's worried about my sister i'm glad my sister got treated better and that she didn't let our doctor give her shit for her weight but she's not blameless here either. my sister has a genuine issue w binge eating or at least used to, like eating to the point of being sick, and the way my mom handled that was basically to call her a pig all the time and not do anything about it. and my mom will literally show us pictures of herself and tell us how fat and disgusting she looks. i mean i feel for her i get that this isn't easy to unlearn but at a certain point can she at least stop acting like i'm some horrible influence for being fat when she's the one that gave us both body image issues. peace out.

I'm glad that we're criticizing the societies that promote ozempic use for cosmetic weight loss, but I'm honestly sick of people accusing anyone who's lost weight of using it.

A reminder that nobody owes anyone an explanation for their weight loss (or gain). Just because someone's losing weight, doesn't mean they're using appetite suppressants for cosmetic reasons. There are plenty of illnesses, circumstances, and health conditions that can result in weight loss: eating d1s0rders; mood disorders; gastrointestinal illnesses (IBS, IBD, gastritis, gastroparesis, etc.); medications (such as stimulants for ADHD treatment, chemotherapy drugs, levothyroxine for hypothyroidism, or even ozempic when used for type 2 diabetes and/or symptomatic obesity** treatment); poverty (it's not uncommon at all for people to skip meals to save money on groceries); etc.

Unless they're ill and trying to get a professional diagnosis, nobody needs to divulge their health history.

**Some people do have conditions that can be complicated by obesity and/or higher body mass (such as type 2 diabetes, endometriosis, Ehlers Danlos syndrome and hypermobility spectrum disorders, osteoarthritis, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, metabolic syndrome, various manifestations of cardiovascular disease, etc.), and I don't believe it's fatph0bic for them to desire or pursue (healthy and sustainable!!) weight loss as palliative or preventative treatment.
