crazy to imagine tails building inhibitor rings for sonic after he and shadow get back from the void. obviously they wouldn't be exactly the same since they'd be for paradox prism energy instead of chaos energy, but oh my god he would haaate them

desperately need more fat video essayists to cover topics about fatness, fatphobia, and diet culture. I'm watchin this skinny girl in this video essay replace the word "fat" with "F" in every quote she reads like it's a slur because she looked up what the least problematic term for fatness was and the article she found put "fat" at the same level as "obese"

once you stop caring about diet culture, weight loss product ads look so funny. "low calorie so you don't feel guilty for indulging". i don't feel guilty for eating food i like actually. that sounds like a you problem

me a year ago to my doctors: i have chronic fatigue and have had this fatigue for 3 years please take me seriously i feel like i'm dying

me after taking iron supplements, multivitamins, completely cutting out dairy, eating less before bed, resting when i need, and making sure i have enough protein/b12/vitamin d in my body specifically and noticing that while i'm still fatigued i'm actually able to do some things and the doctors helped with close to nothing because i was fat:

Kay, thanks for this link, reading the essay was almost quasi-religious to this lifelong atheist. It's an absurdly optimistic piece and all the more rebellious for it, I think.

I could quote so much more from it, but perhaps this is the most relevant bit right now...

For radicals, fetishizing the guillotine is just like fetishizing the state: it means celebrating an instrument of murder that will always be used chiefly against us.

Those who have been stripped of a positive relationship to their own agency often look around for a surrogate to identify with—a leader whose violence can stand in for the revenge they desire as a consequence of their own powerlessness. In the Trump era, we are all well aware of what this looks like among disenfranchised proponents of far-right politics. But there are also people who feel powerless and angry on the left, people who desire revenge, people who want to see the state that has crushed them turned against their enemies.

Reminding “tankies” of the atrocities and betrayals state socialists perpetrated from 1917 on is like calling Trump racist and sexist. Publicizing the fact that Trump is a serial sexual assaulter only made him more popular with his misogynistic base; likewise, the blood-drenched history of authoritarian party socialism can only make it more appealing to those who are chiefly motivated by the desire to identify with something powerful.

-Anarchists in the Trump Era

Now that the Soviet Union has been defunct for almost 30 years—and owing to the difficulty of receiving firsthand perspectives from the exploited Chinese working class—many people in North America experience authoritarian socialism as an entirely abstract concept, as distant from their lived experience as mass executions by guillotine. Desiring not only revenge but also a deus ex machina to rescue them from both the nightmare of capitalism and the responsibility to create an alternative to it themselves, they imagine the authoritarian state as a champion that could fight on their behalf. Recall what George Orwell said of the comfortable British Stalinist writers of the 1930s in his essay “Inside the Whale”:

“To people of that kind such things as purges, secret police, summary executions, imprisonment without trial etc., etc., are too remote to be terrifying. They can swallow totalitarianism because they have no experience of anything except liberalism.”

Looking like I won't be able to finish tennotober day 9 tonight. I like the idea I have in my head but progress is super slow and I just don't think I have the energy to actually execute it right now

I'll figure out how I'll want to proceed with it tomorrow. I don't want to do things out of sequence so either I finish day 9 tomorrow and risk pushing day 10 back as well or I just skip day 9 and maaaaaaybe finish the drawing sometime after october

oh well

I hate seeing semaglutide ads so fucking much like oh okay a lot of you were just begrudgingly mouthing along to body positivity movements because you sorta kinda agreed weight loss isn’t plausible for a lot of people. so now it’s like, normal and good to suggest someone spend over a hundred bucks a month on a drug to be thin. like that’s a reasonable thing, coin flip, whether I get that or an ad trying to sell me a certain deodorant. potential side effects might ruin your life and the drug hasn’t been around long enough to definitely know long term effects but youll be skinny!! yay!
