@ ALL MY FOLLOWERS I Am Rebranding This Blog, Since It's My Primary Blog, Into A Reading And Reviewing

Thinsecurity is a seductive thing. It tells thin people that feeling badly about one's own body is the worst-and only-outcome of difficult experiences with our bodies. They cannot fathom what are such commonplace experiences for very fat people: A stranger recommending a surgeon. A familymember withholding food until you look like you need it. Fat camp. Being recommended for The Biggest Loser. And on and on and on. Those experiences are too far from their own, unimaginable to someone who has so long been locked in place by their perception of their own body. So straight size people reinterpret them, make them something easier to understand. Rather than talking about body-based oppression, they revert the conversation to their thinsecurities.

When fat activists talk about body-based oppression, thinner body positivity activists paint it over, replacing it with a more palatable insecurity. But when we don't talk about body-based oppression, we're strangely lauded for our confidence.

What we don't talk about when we talk about fat - Aubrey Gordon

some fandom disagreements are like "I see your point but I think this other aspect of the narrative is more significant," and some are like "I don't think you can read."

murderbot is really like "thru the power of all of the tv i have watched and my robotic components which include a lot of weapons, I can handle any situation"

Mini Review: In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado

Literally one of my FAVORITE books in 2024. This memoir blew my socks off with the level of craft. Highly recommend to read this is you are on the fence about reading memoirs. This is unlike anything I have yet to read in the memoir genre.

touch-starvation needs to be written with emphasis on the starving part. you are hungry to be touched. so hungry that even the very taste of it makes you nauseous. it has been long since anything has ever touched you, ever fed you - that your body has grown more used to that gnawing emptiness more than anything else. it's better for you to be held, to eat but it makes you sick to try. you know
