I totally understand and can empathize with fat activists when it comes to medical fatphobia. But I do think its important to provide nuance to this topic.

A lot of doctors mention weight loss, particularly for elective surgeries, because it makes the recovery process easier (Particularly with keeping sutures in place) and anesthetic safer.

I feel like its still important to mention those things when advocating for fat folks. Safety is important.

What you're talking about is actually a different topic altogether - the previous ask was not about preparing for surgery, it was about dieting being the only treatment option for anon's chronic pain, which was exacerbating their ed symptoms. Diets have been proven over and over again to be unsustainable (and are the leading predictor of eating disorders). So yeah, I felt that it was an inappropriate prescription informed more by bias than actual data.

(And side note: This study on chronic pain and obesity concluded that weight change was not associated with changes of pain intensity.)

If you want to discuss the risk factor for surgery, sure, I think that's an important thing to know - however, most fat people already know this and are informed by their doctors and surgeons of what the risks are beforehand, so I'm not really concerned about people being uninformed about it.

I'm a fat liberation activist, and what I'm concerned about is bias. I'm concerned that there are so many BMI cutoffs in essential surgeries for fat patients, when weight loss is hardly feasible, that creates a barrier to care that disproportionately affects marginalized people with intersecting identities.

It's also important to know that we have very little data around the outcomes of surgery for fat folks that isn't bariatric weight loss surgery.

A new systematic review by researchers in Sydney, Australia, published in the journal Clinical Obesity, suggests that weight loss diets before elective surgery are ineffective in reducing postoperative complications.

CADTH Health Technology Review Body Mass Index as a Measure of Obesity and Cut-Off for Surgical Eligibility made a similar conclusion:

Most studies either found discrepancies between BMI and other measurements or concluded that there was insufficient evidence to support BMI cut-offs for surgical eligibility. The sources explicitly reporting ethical issues related to the use of BMI as a measure of obesity or cut-off for surgical eligibility described concerns around stigma, bias (particularly for racialized peoples), and the potential to create or exacerbate disparities in health care access.

Nicholas Giori MD, PhD Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Stanford University, a respected leader in TKA and THA shared his thoughts in Elective Surgery in Adult Patients with Excess Weight: Can Preoperative Dietary Interventions Improve Surgical Outcomes? A Systematic Review:

“Obesity is not reversible for most patients. Outpatient weight reduction programs average only 8% body weight loss [1, 10, 29]. Eight percent of patients denied surgery for high BMI eventually reach the BMI cutoff and have total joint arthroplasty [28]. Without a reliable pathway for weight loss, we shouldn’t categorically withhold an operation that improves pain and function for patients in all BMI classes [3, 14, 16] to avoid a risk that is comparable to other risks we routinely accept.

It is not clear that weight reduction prior to surgery reduces risk. Most studies on this topic involve dramatic weight loss from bariatric surgery and have had mixed results [13, 19, 21, 22, 24, 27]. Moderate non-surgical weight loss has thus-far not been shown to affect risk [12]. Though hard BMI cutoffs are well-intended, currently-used BMI cutoffs nearly have the effect of arbitrarily rationing care without medical justification. This is because BMI does not strongly predict complications. It is troubling that the effects are actually not arbitrary, but disproportionately affect minorities, women and patients in low socioeconomic classes. I believe that the decision to proceed with surgery should be based on traditional shared-decision making between the patient and surgeon. Different patients and different surgeons have different tolerances to risk and reward. Giving patients and surgeons freedom to determine the balance that is right for them is, in my opinion, the right way to proceed.”

I agree with Dr. Giori on this. And I absolutely do not judge anyone who chooses to lose weight prior to a surgery. It's upsetting that it is the only option right now for things like safe anesthesia. Unfortunately, patients with a history of disordered eating (which is a significant percentage of fat people!) are left out of the conversation. There is certainly risk involved in either option and it sucks. I am always open to nuanced discussion, and the one thing I remain firm in is that weight loss is not the answer long-term. We should be looking for other solutions in treating fat patients and studying how to make surgery safer. A lot of this could be solved with more comprehensive training and new medical developments instead of continuously trying to make fat people less fat.

Moses

Artist: Valentin de Boulogne (French, 1591–1632)

Date: c. 1625–1627

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, NY, United States

Description

Moses holds a rod and the tablets with the Ten Commandments. (The Hebrew has been copied imperfectly: Was the text provided by Angelo Giori, a learned patron of Valentin whose portrait is in another gallery?) This is not the fierce, vigorous prophet sculpted by Michelangelo but an aged figure - we seem to recognize the model - absorbed in thought. The picture was meant to appeal to antiquarian interests, for Moses is classically garbed and over his blue toga he wears a Roman cloak, or paludamentum, decorated with a Greek meander pattern. In 1637, the picture was sold in Venice by the painter Nicolas Régnier - painters also acted as dealers - to James, third Marquis Hamilton; it then entered the Habsburg collections in Vienna.

Esausta come poche volte, dopo due giori intorno perché il cane non si concentrava, all'alba delle nove e un quarto di sera devo spararmi venti minuti di strada, arrivare a casa di padre, lavarmi pure i capelli.

Non so voi, ma io Gesù che si dà per morto tre giorni da solo e ritrovare le energie lo capisco molto bene.

why do you ship a 15 and 20 year old together

Idk in what tone you say this, but I hope you don't see any aggression in my words either

I love the fact that the most popular ship with Giorno is also pedophilia, but everyone ignores it point-blank 🧑‍🦽

I mean, yeah, cool, the age of consent in Italy is 14 and Mista is hanging on the border, since allowed to have sex with those who are a maximum of 3 years older

But it's still a relationship between a minor and an adult 🤸

Do you know what the age of consent is in Angola?

12 years old 🤨

Or does the same logic not apply here?

For some reason, everyone ignores the fact that GioMis is also problematic, it's also pedophilia, just popularized

But as soon as it concerns GioAbba or BruGio, then everyone suddenly remembers that Giorno turns out to be a child 💥💥💥

I don't really care, I don't give a fuck in general, my limit is two gay sailors and two gay suicides

So, about BruGio (I assume we're talking about them)

I'm not sure in what context you are considering these connections, but I consider half, if not more, of the ships not so much from the perspective of relationships and sexual connections, but rather from the perspective of their connection to each other (both canonical and possible)

Giorno and Bruno are closely related, they are literally dependent motivation and means for each other

This is not a ship in the framework of "They are in a relationship, hold hands and go on dates", this is a ship in the framework of "They are each other's complement, a push to take the first step towards fulfilling a life goal"

This is parental warmth, a mentoring hand, firm determination and human understanding

This is what a ship can be in my vision

I love them together and shouting "It's illegal!" doesn't work here

First deal with the popularization of GioMis, and only then make speeches against other ships with Giorno

Screamer, but I also have a fic with GioRis 👊👊👊👊

Project Mercury

In 1962, John Glen was the first American to orbit the Earth. At the time, space exporation seemed very dangerous so these stamps were printed in secret.

In summer of 1961, the Post Office Department began a special project involving a new printing press, the Giori Printing Press. This invention allowed stamps to be printed in 2 or 3 colors in one run. Before this press, the stamps had to be sent through again and again for each different color. This press was locked in a guarded room and only a few postal employees were allowed inside. People were under the impression that money was being made, but this is where the Project Mercury stamp was being printed.

This stamp was sealed and sent to 305 postmakers around the country with instructions that said "Classified Material. Do Not Open."

It was sent in time for the original launch date, December 21, 1961. but because of the weather, the launch was delayed until February, so it remained unopend until then.

On Feburary, 20th, 1962 they launched at 09:48 EST and splashed down at 14:43 EST. At 15:30 EST, the post offices were informed they could open the mysterious envelope, the Project Mercury stamp.

If something tragic had occured, they would have been told to destroy the envelope and the stamps would have never been released.

Because of the delayed release, it made it difficult to get First Day Covers in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Until 15:30 EST in Cape Canaveral, there was no Post Office. This was when a USAF van was turned into a temporary Post Office, making Cape Canaveral the offical site of the First Day of Issue.

Unfortunately i had the displeasure of knowing "Alucard" personally, i dated them for a short time and regret it.

In such time ive found this image they have liked on twitter of "GioRis" art.

That is their twitter

Theyre a gross person, im not afraid to be seen with my blog connected to this ask

OH MY GOD?????? THAT'S WORSE THAN WHAT I WAS TOLD??????? WHAT THE FUCK???????????

Madonna, che vita di merda.

Certi giori vado a dormire con la speranza di non svegliarmi.

Lo so che dovrei cambiare atteggiamento, la terapista continua a ripetermelo ad ogni seduta, ma davvero non ci riesco. E' tutto un schifo, TUTTO, non riesco a salvare niente.

Mi chiedo che senso abbia continuare a vivere così.
