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"

as a skinny guy I will never escape the twink allegations wtf. I have a beard on my face. I’m covered in fucking fur.

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

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

[fish--man]

settling myself firmly into overweight but i still!!!!! dont feel fat!!

[sculien]

i think i just broke my own record of how many times ive called my mom this week crying bc I Dont Want To Do This Anymore

[agentveemo]

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!

me saying "if franky was a bear people wouldnt dislike his post ts design" has the same energy as me saying "the way you fix namis design is you make her fat of fucking course"

they should give a girl* $100 each time she goes to the doctor with her mom and her mom makes a comment on her body

"it's just a demo" is an appropriate response to the number of clothing and hair options, and the many features that are still in development

the inzoi weight slider is a tied directly to the body frames and i can tell you now to do what people are asking there needs to be an overhaul of the zois bodies entirely

y'know, i've been visiting your account for awhile.. and this isn't limited to your most recent post: if you're struggling that much with your weight and it feeling like a "gut punch" in regards to your transition and how it likely won't be available, try exercising, doing runs, going to the gym and going on a diet? it's not easy at all, it's harder than it should be, especially with your present disorders, which will difficult your path all the way through: but it def will help, even if just a little bit. you've got to try, or atleast attempt yourself doing it. ik it's kinda repetitive knowning that somebody has (probably) already told you this, but believe me— it's worth it. this world also doesn't care for anyone who is genuinely fat, which doesn't necessarily mean you should lose weight for that- it just means that the world is unfair and even the biggest differences affect everything/nothing. promotion in positivity towards individuals of these sizes will be ever so slightly affective, especially towards those whose health is at risk (for their eating methods). i'm just worried abt you, sorry if this seems disrespectful. i genuinely hope you get better, sending my love to you. ❤

hey anon, i'm not particularly upset with you because i can tell how genuine this was and believe me, i do appreciate deeply how you care.

that being said, it's generally pretty disrespectful to tell someone to do those things to lose weight, for whatever reason, especially when they're in the middle of a mental health crisis. i'm not saying this to make you feel bad, just saying that i and many others don't particularly appreciate being told these kinds of things when we already feel bad about our bodies.

for me personally, all of the things you mentioned are not feasible for me for many different reasons. i can't do most, if any, diets, because I have really bad ARFID due to my autism, so most of my diet is literally the only foods i can eat without constantly throwing up. i can't eat most vegetables for that reason, and i also tend to get very anxious with diets because they feel restrictive, which is actually the number one trigger for my binging episodes.

i cannot drive most places because i get too overstimulated on the road that it's legitimately dangerous for me to be doing so, so i can't drive myself to a gym, because the nearest gym to me is only accessible via highway, and i have inner ear issues so i get carsick at highway speeds so wouldn't be able to drive myself there. additionally, my executive dysfunction is so debilitating that many days, it can feel like climbing Mt. Everest just to make myself a bowl of cereal- working out is about 100 times harder than that on my executive dysfunction- and that's not even getting into how workouts make you sweat a lot, and I have really bad sensory issues with getting sweaty (and can't really shower on my own, which would pretty much be required after every work out)

i also very likely have an undiagnosed physical disability, because i cannot stand or walk longer than 10-15 minutes without my entire body hurting like hell, so consistent runs and exercise would be quite difficult for me.

i know there's no way you could have known any of those personal details about me, so i'm not in any way faulting you for that. but they're my reality and i have to live with the reality that almost all conventional modes of weight loss are not an option for me. my best bet is to stick to my current personal eating disorder recovery plan which has actually been a blessing, and work harder than ever on accepting who i am without having to change myself to do so. i won't lie, it's a steep uphill battle. but i actually have many more good days with my body image than i do bad ones, so that keeps my hopes up most of the time.

so yeah, for future reference, it's a bit insensitive to give fat people unsolicited weight loss tips, especially if they're in times of crisis (believe me, i've heard enough of those tips from doctors who never even bothered to ask my opinion /lighthearted). but i do truly appreciate your caring and hope you have a great day /genuine

I’m 5 lbs away from being under 200 lbs for the first time in my adult life, and I’m not sure how I feel about it.
