Needed To Get Some Ninths Out Of My System

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.

“Public libraries are such important, lovely places!” Yes but do you GO there. Do you STUDY there. Do you meet friends and get coffee there. Do you borrow the FREE, ZERO SUBSCRIPTION, ZERO TRACKING books, audiobooks, ebooks, and films. Have you checked out their events and schemes. Do you sign up for the low cost courses in ASL or knitting or programming or writing your CV that they probably run. Do you know they probably have myriad of schemes to help low income families. Do you hire their low cost rooms if you need them. Have you joined their social groups. Do you use the FREE COMPUTERS. Do you even know what your library is trying to offer you. Listen, the library shouldn’t just exist for you as a nice idea. That’s why more libraries shut every year

were I to create an original piece of media I would create bait so queer in order to create a fanfic environment I like. I find you guys do your best work under duress.

Good morning,

museums should repatriate artifacts belonging to living cultures and display reproductions instead
