a fatphobe: Treat your body like a temple!
me: *sharpening a ritual dagger* Very well. Human sacrifice it is.
yeah sorry i just don't think i can make it out tonight. i have to pick up my wife from her murder trial.
My problematic bourgeois red flag is that I unfortunately enjoy the meal format that is afternoon tea. I’m really sorry but it’s a terminal disease of mine that I would like all my meals to come in a mosaic of small bits arranged into a neat tower of plates. I will take the guillotine yes.

Fatphobia kills people. Fatphobia kills Black Women at a much higher rate. That hasn’t changed since Lizzo first came onto the music scene, and unless we collectively do something about it, it won’t change long after we’ve collectively forgotten her name. I’m not interested in body positivity or body confidence. These are all perfectly noble pursuits but they won’t change whether a person gets access to medical care. They won’t fix the Fat wage gap. They won’t help kids who are being bullied by the adults in their lives. Fatphobia is rooted in racism, in particular anti-black racism. So say whatever you wanna say about Lizzo but keep her weight out of it. Not for her sake, but for every Fat Black Woman out there.

“I’m not going to do the thing because I don’t view it as important.” ← Conscious decision made of your own free will.
“I want to do the thing because I view it as important, but trying to get myself to do the thing creates the same reaction as trying to put my hand on a hot stove would.” ← Executive dysfunction, a physical health problem that doesn’t answer to your own free will.
“Trying to get myself to do the thing creates the same reaction as trying to put my hand on a hot stove would. This must mean I don’t actually want to do the thing and I’m just tricking myself into thinking I do.” ← No, that’s still executive dysfunction, but you’re having brainworms about it.
it's rotten work, but without the rot nothing can grow
it's rotten work but decay is part of the cycle of death and rebirth
All the dead things: Its rotten work
The mushroom internet: Not to mycelium. Not if its you
I cannot put into words how much I Fucking Loathe the fact that when you search something on youtube now it will randomly intersperse blocks of "people also watched" and "for you" into the results. That's not what I searched for, youtube. I typed in a search query because I wanted to see search results, not random unrelated garbage you have placed in my way apparently to either inconvenience me or force me to scroll further for actual results. I despise your wretched little games and every time I see it I can only instantly close the tab as I am overcome with the urge to burn something down.
"I despise your wretched little games" perfectly conveys how I feel about the entire algorithm/attention economy
They also refuse to actually show the parameters you searched for. If you sort by “upload date,” the first few videos might be more recent ones by upload date, but anything past that you’ll find a video that was uploaded five years ago, then five months ago, then three years ago, etc, which—NO! That’s NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR!! PUT THEM IN ORDER!!!
Also sometimes the “people also watched” bullcrap will not only be entirely unrelated, it will also be videos with violent, sometimes outright triggering thumbnails. I’ve gotten some AWFUL unrelated video thumbnails just when searching for video game music videos.
What is it about fics then, where characters always, ALWAYS, have a spare toothbrush conveniently just hanging about in bathroom cupboards for that time someone is, usually unexpectedly, staying the night?
I have lived a few decades now, and I have never known anyone who keeps spare toothbrushes. Is it really common??
