i just ordered a refill for a household item and it cost, to the penny, exactly the same as it had cost on november 22, 2024, so you might want to check out your window for flying pigs

i don't want to see tiny and/or deformed penis jokes. that's actually unethical. if you want to analyze societal pressures related to penises that's a different thing.

any educators with constructive ideas about how parents can push back against this kind of effort in schools?

as people discuss or mock AI art in which people's faces & bodies are distorted, i see descriptions wandering uncomfortably close to ways that real disfigured people are described in real life when the describer is unfriendly/unaware/bigoted. please keep this in mind.

a lot of people put a "CW" or "TW" above their posts about intentional weight loss. that doesn't do a damn thing, and might be worse than not doing it. i'm about to explain why.

i saw those last two skeets and thought, i'm so glad @clairewillett.bsky.social said it, i was talking about it on my last patreon but she has so many readers and i am SO GLAD to see any fatpol onhere at all!!! then i scrolled and had to unfollow someone talking about their intentional weight loss

remember when everyone was like “let’s move to New Zealand!!!” and your fat friends were like “cool you guys have fun, I guess”

obviously this is bad, but it’s long been true of other countries we praise to the skies for their healthcare and a lot of progressive Americans don’t want to acknowledge that as a huge vector of oppression. there are a lot of places I couldn’t emigrate to even if I wanted bc they have BMI limits

I'M ON THE SPOON WAITLIST THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!!!!! (genuine sorry and love to geoffrey 💛 who may or may not not know the term "spoon" as used by disabled people)

i've known about the trolley problem for many years. i just learned about the addition to it, wherein you have the choice of killing a fat man. has anyone, anywhere, written a fat politics analysis of this? i feel like i just got punched in the stomach. the depth of fat hate, how can we

it is offensive! it means "fatness as illness" and "fat, but only in a bad way." obese and obesity are slurs.

Mamdani is going to implement Maria law. Say it loud and there's music playing.

reminder the phrase "circle the wagons" (to mean protect your group) is based on the premise that innocent white colonizers were being endangered by violent Indigenous people

Oop

For my fellow fats!

valid. the evita one had me thinking that this would be funny

getting ever more esoteric over here someone needs to take this away from me

Performative decency is actually *so* important for this reason. It tricks the 10% of ghouls into thinking that there are only 1% of ghouls. And it makes the 30% of people that don't care one way or another follow the mostly decent crowd

new post is up! it touches on rfk, oz, the non-king, bit 'o linguistics, and some pushbacks that aren't. my patreon gives you one fat politics post per month. no tiers -- you get all content for only $1/month! need a boost, a company, a little spark, a new angle, a fat hug? join us 💛 💕⚡

here's something cool: the son of the letter carrier on Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood (McFeely) is a real letter carrier for the USPS and he's our letter carrier and he's awesome

medicare advantage plans are a scam the same way private insurance is a scam. they're basically private insurance. their ads are predatory. if you or someone you know can manage to get and keep standard medicare (plain medicare), do that. don't choose a "medicare advantage" plan if you can help it.

for those of you who didn't know that fatphobia and transphobia are intertwined: trans people seeking trans-specific medical care -- care that would otherwise be covered -- are often turned away until they lose weight. sometimes they're turned away full stop. health care is held for ransom.

not always, actually. fat and thin people need food. chosen food, tasty food, food nutritious for your particular body, food of plenty. a dearth of food does not always cause weight loss. i've studied fatness for over 4 decades. glib comments about fatness are often wrong.

no. it's not supremely funny. all your frame does is advance oppression of regular fat people, regular people with diabetes, & regular people with dementia.

as brendan fraser's new work starts ramping up the promo, remember he starred in a violently fatphobic movie not long ago.

hey @jadelennox.bsky.social @temvald.bsky.social @cnoocy.bsky.social ilu

poverty hurts eating healthy, full stop. so does disability. AND which foods are healthy for a person varies a whole lot more than anyone ever acknowledges.

Hey. Fat people also deserve food. Fat people using snap benefits deserve to eat guiltfree. Going without will not make them instantly skinny, and in some cases, like those with diabetes, not eating on a set schedule can exacerbate health problems. Being fat does not equal laziness or weak morality.

The way that white supremacy post-1865 theorizes all Black self-determination and self-sufficiency as welfare is frustrating and wild… If we don’t need benefits, it’s because we received “government set-asides,” DEI & affirmative action. They’re obsessed with “per capita” but never probe further.

remember eight months ago when it was the world series

Guys hear me out: shorter days during the summer when it’s unbearably hot out and everything is the worst, then after that, once it’s perfect hoodie weather and god loves us again…THEN longer days
