a hold has been placed on this book

regular reminder that real food is food that isn't fictional and isn't from a toddler's toy kitchen, and clean eating is eating food that hasn't fallen on the floor

is this collective edging

These men are just playing Barbie with these white skinny ladies. That's not "loving women".

Cafe Pamplona closed forever.

Write a tragedy in four words. Ran out of cheese.

first thought: my ssdi finally cracked a grand! second thought: it's gross they think i can live on this amount. it's gross that the amount is low because i was "only" a preschool teacher. secret third thought: my new amount matches the name of the cambridge arcade when i was a kid, 1001 Plays

wait but if we don't use fatness as a symbol of evil we might have to actually reckon with what evil actually means AND THEN WHAT

this is not the problem, this has never been the problem, this could never be the problem, and all this does is target regular fat people -- who don't eat in this fashion any more than anyone else does, but are assumed to.

I’m seeing increased use of this word and I just want to gently suggest that if there’s one word you can manage to remove from your vocabulary it should be this one. It was coined by a eugenicist who used it as a diagnosis to forcibly institutionalize and sterilize mentally disabled people.

No GenAI, just Anusha learning how to use @davinciresolvetr.bsky.social (Sort of inspired by Sin City and comic books) Weights, a song by me 🪽 ID: Black woman with headphones, red microphone, lipstick and red dress. Rest of the overlay is in black and white. She is singing looking to the camera

my dad raised me on lefty folk music, so when @clairewillett.bsky.social asked about father daniel berrigan and @mattkavanagh.bsky.social added philip berrigan, i thought of this old charlie king song, which mentions both berrigans (and others). from swords into plowshares, the hammer has to fall.

this post has everything. McElroys, poetry, hate, love, slurs, impertinence, turning on a dime

hi if you care about trans rights, Indigenous rights, disability rights, queer rights, reproductive justice, anti-racism, anti-poverty, you should care about fat liberation too.

i have some hugs to spare today. i'll set them right here on the porch in case you want to come pick one up. 💛💛💛 💛 💛 💛

"tommy, what are some non-game reasons you like them?" #ThunderUp (important context: nick gallo is their local reporter, rides the plane with them, is friends with them.)

sharing jeremy's thread structure for this: like him, i'm also here to chase joy. i'm also here to leave bits of joy for you when i can, and to give hugs when i have the capacity. and i'm here to be a booster of and a doorway to fat politics.

I’m also here (and I was just talking about this today) to chase joy and to encourage y’all to do that, too. I have a very clear purpose on this platform and I mean to keep at it. That’s extremely true, and so is this:

same. i've never said it onhere before but jeremy made me feel brave: i'm here because i'm lonely. i've wonderful friends and family, but i also have a severe chronic illness, which is debilitatingly isolating. time alone is beautiful, but when it's unchosen and out of ratio, not so much.

you can't actually suppress away a wave of discontent. (relatedly, i think a lot of you have no idea how large this country is and how small its various military and security forces are relative to its population)

i believe everyone saying wicked: for good is weaker than the first movie. i haven't seen it yet. but i do not agree that act II of the stage musical is weak or weaker than act I and i will die on this hill. because i am right.

since comics are a topic today, why not discuss a good one? i used this image as a comment on a thread recently, and it was a thread of a big account so i thought at least someone would get the reference. not a peep. any of y'all know what this is? (if you don't, the answer is in the alt text.)

creating a place (metaphorical) for those of us homebound and bedridden who join grief spaces and communities from wherever we are, now and going back years and decades. 💛

if it’s not just YOU grieving but US grieving, that increases the chances of solidarity against the systems that caused our grief

if you are grieving, you are not working to increase the wealth of billionaires if you are grieving, you may be questioning the political system that caused your grief

public grief interferes with ongoing production/consumption and the profits of billionaires and can lead to questioning the political order, so our “leaders” try to limit its expression

someone was saying recently -- maybe it was @erinbiba.bsky.social? i'm sorry i don't remember, my brain is, um 🙃 -- that it should not be possible for a horrible event week in the broader world to happen at the same time as a horrible event week in your own small circle. i would like to agree 🫠

You can also pick a craft to learn the history of and you'll probably get some info on those topics anyway. Some food books: - The Cooking Gene: A Journey through African American Culinary History in the Old South by Michael W. Twitty - Food in Cuba: The Pursuit of a Decent Meal by Hanna Garth

my spouse wanted to make sure that I, a classics minor and Attic Greek student, saw this

may i suggest fat politics as an option you might not have thought of? in less than the past week it has intersected with: anti-Blackness racism anti-immigrant genocide transphobia adoption politics queer politics ICE
