Every time there's a food recall that spreads from one company to the next, even from generic brands that are unique to the store selling them, it makes me realize the illusion of choice under capitalism hyped up by conservatives is a bunch of bullshit.

Oh and uh, don't drink apple juice for a while. Arsenic. And it's more than just Aldi and Walmart

Oh another thing I realized with the Shut Up Im Talking pod- i felt this random dissonance i could not pinpoint but i think I figured it out. Dan and Phil are honed performers, they’ve been doing it a long time and they’re at the end of their tour and have been “On” for months. Also because of their ascension and the privacy breaching they know how to be genuine and entertaining while putting up a strong and important invisible wall to protect themselves, deflect, and redirect when needed. Jack and Tommy are younger and have grown up in a different internet culture so they felt, to me, much more like just two guys chatting while dan and phil felt more like The Dan and Phil. And maybe Im too dan and phil pilled but since they came back, in interviews they feel very The Dan and Phil from the internet. Then in videos/livestreams within the containment chamber there is just ever so slightly more of that relaxed vibe, which is what I personally appreciate most, and they have also mentioned feeling more like their audience is more like them now and not just every teenager under the sun who thinks British accents are cool like before.

I’m legitimately gonna explode if I don’t find someone else who understand the background tragedy of the Gleeful Family in Gravity falls.

Price: Simon… please tell me you didn’t eat the bread on the table

Teen!Ghost: I did. Why?

Price: There was mold on it!

Teen!Ghost: Huh… that’s why it tasted a bit off

Price: why are you so calm about this?!

Nik: It’s just a little mold. It won’t kill him

Price: *stares at Nik gobsmacked*

Teen!Gaz: Guess we know who he took after

im gonna start a fight; and, at the same time, i need you to take this in the most good-faith way possible, but:

videos that involve body-checking and intentionally (and uncritically) show a mealplan of an unhealthy number of calories are just a revamped version of pro-ana food diaries.

and yeah, i know there's arguments. i address some of them under the cut. but at the end of the day, we're just coming back to romanticizing mental illness; we've just found a better platform for it.

this is already something we've done. we knew it was wrong and tried to stop it. and tbh. it just wasn't enough.

there are people who argue "well, what if you have an eating disorder, you can't help it if you don't eat!" except that as someone with an ED; we are not infants. we know what we're doing. part of having an ED is that you are like, maybe too self-aware. even if we can't help our own food choices, we don't need to fucking romanticize the disorder - something we've been warning you about since 2013. there are hours of setup, filming, and editing that go into these videos. they do not happen to fall into place randomly. there is a reason they are pieced together to be beautiful, bright, inspiring.

there's this woman who pretty much only posts daily plans under a normal amount of calories, and everyone defends her saying but it's better than nothing! and i'm like. except she opens those with images of her showing off her body and provides no context in the video or caption that suggests that she believes what she's doing is unhealthy. she has hundreds of thousands of followers on a platform designed for young kids and teens. i refuse to believe that by accident her content just happens to be cheery advice on "healthy" versions of starving.

for any other symptom of mental illness, we would be incredibly enraged by this kind of placid acceptance of a "tips and tricks" fast-start guide. imagine if people posted pink & pretty videos saying "best places to cut yourself" as if it was a fucking storytime. we, as a society, are so fucking fatphobic that we would rather accept blatantly harmful displays of self harm than admit that we are obsessed with a hyper-thin body type.

i am not suggesting someone never talks about their disorder. i talk about mine. actually, it's a plot point in my book.

here's the difference: i recognize it's a fucking mental illness. i am very careful to never mention a specific weight, eating pattern, or calorie plan. i always make sure to position it as something that ruined my fucking life. i do not put cheery music in the background and hearts and sparkles over my worst moments. i do not film it in bright light. i do not start each passage with an image of a thin body followed by "here's how to look like her."

eating disorders should not be framed as aspirational. and the problem is that society worships the "after" image, so long as you don't get too sick. there is a reason so many people who quit being "influencers" will later admit - i wasn't eating well that whole time; an obsession with food was completely destroying my life.

we let any uncredited, uncertified person write the most backwards, fucked up shit about how to get the body you desire! because the underlying, secret belief is: well, at least they're thin! and the real thing that fucking gets me each time - they make fucking money off of it. their irresponsibility and societal harm literally pays off for them.

"why do you care so much." "don't like it don't look." "so what if people experiment with new ways of thinking of food?"

thank you for asking. we're about to get extremely personal. it's because when i was 18 i discovered "thinspiration"/"thinspo." and it absolutely influenced, shaped, and codified my pre-existing eating disorder. i went from having some troubling habits and traits to being incredibly unwell within what felt like a matter of days. there were actual pages designed to train me on how to have an ED correctly. it was all so suddenly easy. i was sick; and the nature of the illness meant - i wanted to be sicker.

it takes an average of 7 years for a person to fully recover. i know this personally - even now, 10 years from the worst of it, i still fucking struggle. i am so much happier now and i eat what i want and i literally don't think about food at all (19 year old me would shudder) and yet - i still fucking know the calories of plain toast with butter.

an eating disorder is one of the deadliest types of mental illness. over 1 in 4 people with an ED will attempt suicide.

and i'm sorry. i just do not see the exchange rate of "high rate of engagement" versus "the value of a human life."

i really appreciate this about brennan, he's very straight forward when it comes to competitions (see his rant regarding the whishy washy point system for Make Some Noise). cooking competitions, in particular, can be extremely subjective, but brennan goes ahead and says 'no fuck that, i'm making this objective AF. I have a set criteria, jessica hit the critera the most, therefore she wins. end of discussion.'

Link has incredible skill and power for someone his age. Tulin has definitely been learning a lot from him after they returned. Though I respect his bravery and perseverance, sometimes he pushes it to the point of recklessness. I hope he keeps that in check moving forward, because I fear Tulin might attempt Link’s…unorthodox fighting style. Other than that, I think he’s a great role model for Tulin.

He’s been visiting a lot ever since he came back with that new arm of his. We appreciate his company, and he cooks a lot more for us than we do for him. I don’t find anything particularly odd about Link’s smell unless he’s covered in dirt or blood, but Saki does remind him to keep clean when he sleeps over at our place.

To be honest, I see Link as both a warrior and a son in a way. I don’t want to force him to think I’m his father figure or anything, but I hope he feels comfortable enough to think he’s a part of our family if he wants to be. He practically is, with the number of times he’s helped us out and stayed over.

i cannot wait for the day the “sugar is the root of all evils” diet culture lie dies the same death as its preceding scapegoats. ‘welll telling ppl to cut out all fat has fallen out of fashion, carbs aren’t quite the bogeyman they used to be, but it’s okayyy…. yes we were off the mark every time before… but now THIS time we’ve got it right! it was sugar all along!’ fuck OFF

Weird -- I could swear there was a post (by a Tumblr I don't know) just the other day about how what everybody feels like eating is just what they're supposed to be eating health-wise with a "why would we be different from other animals in not being evolved to naturally individuals crave exactly what is healthiest for each of us individuals?" bent to the argument but otherwise absolutely zero justification, and then one of my mutuals (and I'm 95% sure I correctly remember who) reblogged it with an excellent response explaining from personal experience that this is not true and that they have to discipline themself on what they eat so as to avoid feeling crappy and unhealthy. And I can't find it among my likes and can't find it on that mutual's blog. I'd been intending to reblog my mutual with a couple of further comments and was "bookmarking" it by liking it.

I've been unusually distracted and overwhelmed lately, but I'm not so out of it that I would have imagined all this. I guess almost certainly the post (most likely the original post) got deleted for whatever reason. (I mean, I'm sure that most of the thousands of notes were from people who supported the OP, but maybe they got dogpiled on, and I don't like the idea that I might have joined in the dogpile.) I try to stay out of the food/nutrition/health discourse; I already get into too many other sensitive arenas of discourse than is probably good for me or others. Maybe this was the gods of Tumblr's way of preventing me from the poor judgment of getting myself into the topic. (Except I'm writing this semi-meta-post about it now... oops.)
