I love this book with my whole heart. It's for the angry trans kids who still want to fall in love; for the queer kids who want space to exist in places that don't give it to them; and for everyone who loves epic YA romance and has ever been like, "but what if...queer??"

a thing i WILL say is that some stuff a bra (can) do is often noted, some not.
often noted:
1) physical [dis]comfort
2) relationship to sexuality (any direction)
3) relationship to professionalism
rarely noted:
1) relationship to nakedness/revealedness unconnected to sexuality.

that AAM comment section discussion about boobs and bras really bummed me out.

fat suits are utter trash, but it's important we not focus so narrowly on that single violence that we miss the rest.
i don't want to see someone launch a new production of the play, refrain from using a fat suit, and think they're doing any better than the film. 🙄

look, if The Whale hadn't used a fat suit and had hired a 600 lb actor but had been the same otherwise, it would still be the worst trash. The Whale detests fat people; no lack of fat suit would've changed that.

It’s never “just a movie/show/book/play” it’s a story. Stories aren’t trivial, they shape how we see the world, how we see ourselves and each other. Story is power. Who gets to tell their story matters. Telling someone else’s story is not something to take lightly.

every single one of these people trying to weaken pandemic activism is doing so to ease their own guilt. being part of the apathetic majority sitting unmasked in bars and restaurants isn't enough. they want to be able to go online without being reminded of their complicity.

doordash is now taking a poll asking whether (and how much) you "feel bad" ordering delivery. why do they care? i guess they might market towards assuaging that?

people who check on and bring meals to people with temporary or hopefully-temporary or fatal illness drift away from people with M.E.
we're not on anyone's list of who needs help.

the sleeping issue? i said "six days" to help you picture it. six days is close enough for most people to begin to imagine it, while far enough for most people to start to perceive how unlivable it would be.
i was rounding down, though.
the real timeline is decades.

in terms of quality of life, M.E. is one of the worst illnesses and disabilities a person can have.
think of all the illnesses and disabilities you can of.
having M.E. is worse than almost all of them.

it may not ever go away. it may go up and down. it may get worse and stay there. there is not a single medical marker. it is not psych but HCPs will claim it is because mysteries are bad for their ego.
the people who step in to help with temporary flus drift away.

imagine the worst flu you've ever had. remember how it felt.
add pneumonia at the same time.
add shingles.
despite the monstrous level of illness, you haven't fallen fully asleep in six days. only shallow dozing and startling awake w nightmare.
congratulations. you have M.E.

white people, our job is to work against racism, ongoingly, for the rest of our lives. it's as simple as that. this applies to all white people no matter what other marginalities we hold.

just upping this everything tweet from my friend, in case you missed it. 🥰

fat people don’t need diets or exercise. we need love, support, care, respect, equal rights, quality medical care, jobs that pay the same, legal protections against abuse and discrimination, and a world that doesn’t find us disgusting or defective.
Thanks.

white people, pay attention to the way racism is part of that Middle Group Persecution Syndrome. when middle class people are claiming that poor or poorer people "get funding," there's racism happening, whether or not it's aloud.
Quote Tweet
"Natives get everything free." Also false. Anything we're supposed to receive is either through treaties (that have never been honored) or the trust responsibility of the federal government, which is chronically underfunded. Also, talk to my student loans, you brat.

is there a term for this? Middle Group Persecution Syndrome?
if you're in a middle area of a spectrum of oppression, you are probably, comparatively, oppressed a medium amount on that spectrum. you're probably not oppressed MOAST.

the person complaining that as a size 12 they have fewer clothing options than people smaller AND bigger than them is like middle class people complaining they're worse off than rich people AND poor people because "poor people qualify for lots of public funding."

as a child, i did two sets of situps every day for perhaps five years. i got rock hard abs. guess what? i still have them. they're underneath a lot of fat now, but they're still there and they're fierce.

You know what doesn’t really signify a strong core?
A flat stomach.
Because I saw that picture & people saying saying how strong their core is but I just chuckle at how people think you can’t be fat and have a fat ass belly and have a strong core
