I love people who are against processed foods so they make their own breads and jams and soups and pickles. Like it doesn’t count as processed if you process it yourself.
Same logic as it doesn’t count as eating too many cookies if you had to bake the cookies.
*republicans flip gender switch on and off* welcome to hell! welcome to hell!
Hey, do y’all remember that time we (trans women) told y’all that stubbornly using gender neutral language to refer to trans women is an act of misgendering and transmisogyny in and of itself and y’all said we didn’t know what we were talking about?
fatphobia and ableism is so insidious. You can look up like, food, and it’ll say “eating a lot of food causes diabetes” and you’re like oh dang what? I thought we didn’t know the cause of diabetes. So you look up what causes diabetes and it says “we still don’t know what causes diabetes” bruh they’re just making shit up to give people eating disorders
it’s becoming clearer that “being fat makes you diabetic” is actually misapplied observation and like, backwards cause and effect. insulin resistance is the main factor in type 2 diabetes. it was thought being fat made you insulin resistant. turns out it’s the other way round; insulin resistance causes the body to store fat at a greater rate. like yes, once the weight is gained it can then contribute more to resistance and things can snowball, but the initiating factor is not being fat.
Also worth mentioning how hard it is to find good advice around healthy eating or exercise because almost all of the information available assumes your goal is to lose weight. So you’ll find a hundred articles for how you can reduce calories, but nothing about how you can eat more vegetables while managing a budget and still feeling satiated. Because professionals assume your goal is to lose weight, not to feel better in your body. It’s so incredibly frustrating.
As a chronically Ill/disabled fat person who just got diagnosed with full blown diabetes:
They want to blame us, because then it’s our faults and they can feel good about themselves for ‘doing everything right’. That’s it.
Diabetes can’t ‘just happen’ because then it could happen to anyone. The same with every other illness and disability. If it can ‘just happen’ then this perfectly ‘healthy’, skinny person could do everything ‘right’ and still one day develop diabetes or other illnesses. They can’t handle that, so they pick at every little possible thing that a fat/ill/disabled person has ever done until they find that thing you supposedly did ‘wrong’ to cause this thing that they so desperately don’t want to happen to them.
And this goes for everyone, including doctors and other medical professionals because they have been taught this same thing. That there must be a reason this thing happened to a person, and it’s easier if it was their fault. To look for that thing the patient must have done wrong, because then you have the ‘answer’ and the blame. And then you, the medical professional, are not culpable for any misstatements, misunderstandings, misdiagnosis, that you have done or will do.
And the cycle will continue forever as long as self-proclaimed healthy, skinny people continue to live in fear of ever not being healthy, skinny people. Being fat and sick is one of the worst things they can ever imagine to happen, and it must be our faults because if not… if not then what horrible, terrible things to then happen to them and their precious bodies?
My risk for diabetes was really high in my early 20s because I have PCOS, which fucks up your insulin resistance.
I’m just as fat as I was then, but my A1C is absolutely fine because I have been on hormonal birth control for so long it’s gotten balanced out.
I’m not even eating as well as I did back then, but I’m less at risk of diabetes than I was because my underlying hormonal imbalance has been managed.
Being fat doesn’t make you predisposed to having diabetes, being predisposed to diabetes makes you fat
Sometimes I think that, in spite of all things the biological sciences have actually revealed about how our bodies actually work, the field of Western medicine remains just as superstitious as it was 600 years ago.
The teachings around the how of it all has changed, but not the underlying assumptions around the why of it all. It’s still just as focused on purging the “sinner” of “evils” as it was when treatises on health were being written by Christian monks.

AI people: we’re just as much artists as you are, you gotta be so observant and go through so many correcting phases for the picture to look good uwu also AI people:
if this were a hand drawn image people would be harping on about the symbolism
Yeah you know why ? Because if someone made this by hand for hours at a time, one would assume he’d have done it for a fucking reason. Meanwhile with AI we know it was completely and randomly based on the whims of a computer that doesn’t and never will think like a human.
stfu buddy symbolism is the fucking nonsense you have to memorise alongside the rest of the poetic devices in order to write 3 paragraphs about an excerpt in an english exam, it has no place in art, and none of you fuckers will gaslight me into thinking so again
This dude said symbolism has no place in art
Let’s remove that “so” in tumblr user iloveblankpaper’s last sentence
the vaticans multicultural anime girls are wearing the racism rosary 💀
NOOOO???? that’s the opposite of the racism rosary??? what???? each color represents a continent and the rosary says to pray for them???? what am I not getting here?????
These are missionary rosaries, you know missionaries? The people whose job it is to erase other cultures and replace them with their own? Also, they have the color red for American missions, white for European and yellow for Asia. While it isn’t said anywhere in this promotional material, the people in the notes are linking this to the skin colors of the people whose cultures missionaries have the job of trampling.
can’t get over when famous gangster lucky luciano was like “hey lansky seems like quite a hassle getting all those nazis offa your terf you want us to help ya out” and meyer “Left Russia Because of Pogroms and Became A Gangster In The US” lansky was like “no. no getting to beat the shit out of nazis is reward enough for us. sorry lucky this one’s personal don’t worry about it”
here’s a quote from a New York Times article abt it
also bonus quote from that article
“quick question about the punching, judge perlman: how about murder instead”
everybody says that “the government” enlisted these mobsters to beat up nazis, but like. no. no that didn’t happen? judge nathan perlman illegally called up a man who could have him shot dead at a minute to say “hey. i’ve scoured the fucking law books tryna find a way to get these fucking nazis out of here, but my legal means have unfortunately run out. so-” and meyer fucking lansky was like “ah say no more boss lemme call a buncha friends and we’ll get this sorted out real quick don’t even bother paying me.“
can you imagine that phone call. like genuinely. how am i supposed to continue living my normal life knowing this happened. people who loooove talking about punching nazis, taKE FUCKING NOTES
this is my favorite Meyer Lansky story.
my second favorite Meyer Lansky story is about the time, many years later, that he was at a meeting of mafia heads and one of them started bragging about how his son was following him into the family business.
Meyer Lansky said “That’s nice. My son works for NASA.”
every month or so, a thick, glossy, full color catalogue lands in my mailbox, full of dentist chairs, dentist lamps, dentist tables and dentist art to put on the walls of your dentist waiting room.
(the catalogue makes for a great bird toy, my babies take at least a week to reduce it to shreds.)
i’ve received ads full of smiles full of teeth, addressed to doctor and doctor so and so. they just keep coming and i’m too exhausted to do anything about it.
thing is, it was just something funny, a cute anecdote. look at my new dentist catalogue! i’ll order the reclining chair on page 24, the one that costs 8000$, it would look cute in the living room.
and then earlier tonight (around 3AM, yes i was awake) a pipe of our dishwasher decided to disconnect. (yes we’d just started a load, our upstairs neighbor is deaf, no guilt whatsoever, when you’re depressed most of the time you clean when the energy comes and sometimes it’s on friday night 3am)
anyway. it’s earlier tonight, at 3h15 AM, that I found myself in front of the fuse box in the basement, water cascading around me, panicking, trying to find the kitchen switch to turn off everything electric
and.
the switches were labeled.
dentist lamp 1
dentist lamp 2
x-ray
waiting room
dentist lamp 3
..
oh. oh no.
anyway, dentists are monsters.
for those who worry: everything is okay now. the pipe has been fixed, the kitchen is dry, the electricity is back, the people are fed, the landlord is updated
and that damn fuse box is now CORRECTLY LABELED

I need you to know that this is a really normal apartment. The first floor and half finished basement of a regular duplex. Two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom. Absolutely normal apartment. Now you can also understand how insane this is.
Insane update about the ex-tennants were dentists saga.
I have a cavity I need to deal with ASAP so I googled dentists near me.
I was preparing a pomegranate a week or so ago and I had to walk away and sit down because I suddenly remembered that “tag your gore/pomegranates” thing and couldn’t stop laughing for a while.
walked into a burger place to pick up my order and the girl behind the counter looked at my shirt funny so I look down and the shirt is a picture of a girl excited about eating a hamburger and fries. i’m such a fucking cartoon character right now. this is the shirt
I’m obsessed with buildings like this, they are so beautiful because they are pure function. The form is just an incredible display of geometry.
the buildings had their dicks out…
hi so I’ve seen a few posts around with All Removed Images like this and I think I know why this happens?
OP is deactivated, but doesn’t have the “deactivated-whatevernumbers” thing next to their url. I’ve heard around that this rneans the person was deactivated by staff rather than deleting their own account(citation needed though).
my theory is that any account staff nukes (or it could be something they can choose per account) has every image they’ve ever posted also removed.
either that or yeah the buildings might’ve had their dicks out
The error has prompted widespread backlash from the UK population, making it clear that cisgender people are able to see the risks of housing a woman in a mens prison. A form of torture the Scottish Prison Service reserves for transgender women.
im genuinely in awe. like. the contrast between the rest of the server being slaughtered (only scott and cleo didn’t die to a snail otherwise) and then gem and joel just kind of hanging out with their snails. doing snail experiments. doing snail parkour. gem taught her snail about the life series and said they would be best friends. how do they keep doing this
bro no you’re not cringe. bro. bro you used to type like that because you mirror mannerisms from those before you. bro. bro it isn’t cringe. bro it’s ok you were pushy and annoying bro… bro.. it’s valid to feel embarrassed over it. it’s gonna be okay bro.

Meanwhile, “utter” works for the first (e.g., “you utter floorboard”) but somehow “utterly” doesn’t seem to work as well for the second (“I was utterly floorboarded”).
Utterly doesn’t work for drunk because it’s the affix for turning random objects into terms for *shocked*, obviously.
… huh. I thought that might just be the similarity to “floored”, and yet “I was utterly coat hangered” does seem to convey something similar.
I have to tell you, I am utterly sandwiched at this discovery.
Completely makes the phrase mean “super tired”.
“God, it’s been a long week, I am completely coat-hangered.”

i do think that “greening” is the funniest term to come out of any mmorpg. it’s because intentionally allowing someone to go “sad” in toontown - which is basically what happens when you lose all your laff points (equivalent of hp), the laff meter icon for your toon turns green and gets little x eyes like this:
people who go out of their way to do this get called “greeners” and i’m so sorry but it sounds like the toon equivalent of a slur
cuz I knew I’d be punished? duh! like c'mon, boys aren’t supposed to dress like girls or want to, I would have been reprimanded, don’t pretend I wouldn’t have.
because my mom taught me that boys are awful and want to hurt me, why would I have wanted to be what my mom said are the very people who want to hurt me
There is infinitely more “gender ideology” going on in the average conversation between two cis parents about their children than anything two weirdo trannies are doing
