mention @absurdcompliments.bsky.social if you're in the mood for an absurd compliment

sorry I would have liked your post but it currently has 69 likes so I just had to say "nice" and scroll on

i replaced the bulb on my mini-mag so you can't tell me anything today

thinking back on people asking "what do you do?" and, upon hearing the answer, replying "oh, i should do that." they mix up a truth -- that usually anyone who can read can read a children's book -- with years of study, training, time, and experience in a children's lit FIELD.

actually anti-fat jokes are never funny. no, not even then.

sending a hug to anyone who sees this and needs it.

fat politics over on pat, come join us. 💛 i write one post/month, friendly to fatpol newbies and oldbies. $1/month gets you all posts, no tiers! my fat politics isn't isolated; it's integrated with other genocides and social justices.

if you enjoy fat bear week or have ever affectionately called an animal "chonk," i need to see from you some fat politics relating to humans.

battle doom by posting five small pleasures in life: 1. i'm friends with my niblings despite an ocean's distance. 2. acrylic blankets, especially my brown one. 3. over the rainbow. 4. had my first @unlikelywords.bsky.social ice cream. black raspberry chip. very good!!! got it at pemby's. 5. yellow.

um, hi hello? i haven't been onhere for months. who is still around? i came to say happy new year. i'm having a hard time mustering the "happy" part, because... you know. but i love you. i send you big fat new years LOVE. 🍎🍏🍯 to the 🌍🌏🌎. to everyone except... you know.

@overpricedvodka.com appreciated your politics on dame galli's pod!! 💛

thank you!!!! something i've been seeing recently from people who have otherwise excellent politics is (paraphrase) "they look bad because their inner evil is starting to show."

I continue to think we shouldn’t make fun of peoples’ bodies or facial features for any reason, end of story. you aren’t funny, it’s not cool, the weird lawyer you’re making fun of might’ve deserved it but the person with the birthmark who sees your joke & feels like shit about themselves doesn’t.

experimentally ordered "parm cheddar" from wegman's

Shabbat shalom, loves.

in new england a milkshake duck is called a frappe duck

chip zien as the baker is one of the best performances i have ever seen.

hello, health food store? what do you have to clear out some toxins? maybe a tea or an herb? oh sorry, no, i may have been unclear, they're not in my body they're running the government

for those of us who are chronically severely ill, this is a good example of what we call Disability Tax -- the extra costs we pay just to survive.

white american cheese sliced at the deli counter (not pre-packaged) tastes similar to mild brie.

Imagine being Stephen Miller telling your kid about freedom, not oppressing the stranger, orphan and widow and not enslaving people during the Passover seder. And that point what is any of this worth? Asking for the child who does not know how to ask.

for no particular reason, thinking about that time at that other place when @djolder.bsky.social was challenged in a haughty tone like well where is YOUR medical license and he... showed them his medical license

Also just sticking your fingers in your ears going lalalalala the bad things aren’t happening and how dare u hold me responsible for my actions for the sake of yucky trannies of all things

The clinging onto harry potter is part of the same fascist phenomena of returning to a glorious past and the simplicity of childhood. To let it go would mean progressing and growing your understanding of the world and that is unacceptable

re adults reading harry potter in 2025: you want to make fun of them for political reasons, for "where is your money going" reasons, and for pro trans and pro other social justice reasons? go to town! making fun of adults for reading children's books? nope. be careful that's not what you're doing.

I know you all have been worried about it so I want to reassure you that all three of the cats have been watching the birds.

If you believe that no one should be giving JKR any of their money anymore because it directly funds transphobia, then fucking SAY that, without the implicit "and this wouldn't be a problem for you at all if you had better taste in literature" like this is a Bad Opinions Tax or something.

Literary taste is subjective. Media resonates with readers for a wide variety of different reasons. All you're saying is that there's a quality threshold at which you condone transphobia.

Literally begging people to stop using "the books aren't even that good" in their arguments against consuming Harry Potter.

hey Major League Baseball. how are you today. oh you like Jackie Robinson? you're officially honoring him today? how about funding African American history museums? each team fully funds an African American history museum in their city, whether that museum already exists or not.

i despise that the celtics talk about this as "going to war." that's disgusting actually.

Any member of a marginalized group in general needs to understand that yeah man even if people don't fuck with us for whatever reason it does not change the empirical fact that when it comes down to raw results, our struggles are interconnected.

yes, bank, i am watching your ads instead of muting them because they feature ana gasteyer and molly shannon. however i would never change banks for that reason and also i don't know which bank you are

a milkshake cannot melt or be melty because a milkshake has no ice cream, only milk and syrup -- here. it's regional. dunkin is supposed to be from here, at least conceptually! (if you want ice cream in it, you want a frappe. here.)

did anyone ever call out Briana of teen mom for the anti-Blackness in how she pronounces Devoin?

"The couch didn't pull out."

I'm sorry, but you're going to need to pay me a lot more than $80 for me to come take your sofa cum bed.

a freezer stays colder the fuller it is. if you're freezer's not super full, you can fill empty cartons or containers (plastic, or the waxed cardboard that milk sometimes comes in) with water and put them in the freezer. don't fill them all the way. leave a bit of room for the ice to expand.

i have a joke about poseidon but it's salty and blue

most recent post explores which exact fatphobias lie in this liberal political cartoon. i take on cartoons, tv, books, ads, and the culture around us. $1/month for all content, no tiers. 💛

a podcaster just referred to "the era that we're living in" but i thought she said "the error that we're living in" and you know what

In the name of all that's holy with everything that's happening why the hell is anybody talking about Donald Trump's weight? Instead of firing off your cheap fat joke, why aren't you asking why the White House is publishing lies about the president's health when they could just not publish at all?

of ALL the things he's doing if you spend even a moment/word on whether that doctor-reported weight is false just stop. "it's not the weight, it's the lying and the doctors lying for hi-" stop. think about the lies that murder. nothing you say on this weight topic will do more good than bad.

Since I am no longer able to sleep like a baby, I will instead be awake like a baby so there will be lots of crying fits and naps and neither of those things will be at a time that is convenient for anyone

sleep? in this paniconomy?

bryan knows this, but i'm making it explicit for others: "the stress of the discrimination" includes both psychological stress and material aspects of discrimination. fat people are treated atrociously, lifelong, by people with POWER OVER our literal food, homes, wages, jobs, education, etc.

White people of all types are really committed to being the loudest and most aggrieved of whatever group they’re a part of. Nobody’s allowed to have it worse than the white people in that group. It’s exhausting.

Instead, it’s the lack of quality care because you’re fat, the stress of the discrimination, and the failure of the medical profession to treat your actual condition that kills you, time and time again.

Being fat isn’t unhealthy, no matter what anyone else tells you. Being fat never kills you. It’s not even things directly linked to being fat.

"overweight" is a slur. "obese" is a slur.
