“Providers didn’t all miss the day in medical school when students were taught how not to be cruel to fat people. Medical fatphobia is medicine’s status quo.” 🧵🔧 Welcome to Pipe Wrench no. 6: The Fat Issue. It’s a big one, as is only fitting.

@60Minutes producers spoke to me for many hours. I even spent additional time building a custom demo for @andersoncooper and made recommendations on research to include and subjects to interview with emphasis on the stories of the #excoded who have been falsely arrested. 1/n
I found it fascinating that they didn't speak to any Black women who work in this space.

“They know what they’ve done to us.”
Happy Birthday #FannieLouHamer! During a Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) meeting in 1962, she learned that Black people in the South were registering to vote, so she joined the movement. By 1965, she had become recognized as a national civil rights activist.

Serious leek!
My son came and got me, saying there was a serious leak under the kitchen sink.

Right now we need your help in demanding @chicagosmayor lower the bridges and open the subway entrances downtown so people can get home. We are very concerned that the curfew will be used as license to let CPD run wild while people will literally be trapped.

Lightfoot just implemented a curfew from 9pm to 6am yet cops have protesters kettled downtown, have stopped the CTA, lifted bridges so cars can’t get through. This is a trap and excuse to hurt protesters. Again, if u can’t get out of downtown, go to Chi Freedom School 719 S State

This morning our beloved band director Hosea Brower joined the great orchestra in the sky. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and all of #warriornation during this difficult time. @HenricoHighSch

At the end of 2020, instead of 30 Under 30 and NextGen lists, please profile middle-aged people who just got their big breaks. I want to read about a mother of 2 who published her first novel, a director who released their first studio feature at 47, THAT'S THE LIST WE WANT.

I have sex with fat people because they're hot. Not because they're fat. Not in spite of them being fat. Not b/c it's "more cushion for the pushin." Not b/c they "wear it well." Not b/c "thick thighs save lives." Not b/c they're "big but healthy." Because. they. are. hot.

Interesting everyone posting Beyoncé’s ass, literally. While also saying they tired of seeing Lizzo’s ass and that the constant flaunting of her body is “tacky”. And by interesting I meant fatphobic.

When Lucky Lee’s first opened, I told @andrewrchow, “It’s that superiority that Chinese-Americans are really cringing at...Why do you have to devalue my food in order to make your version sound better? It’s a very colonial kind of superiority.” time.com/5567450/lucky-lees-…

Lucky Lee’s, which touted a version of Chinese food as more “clean” and less ““oily,” “salty,” and “icky,” has closed. Guess it doesn’t pay to insult the cuisine you are trying to appropriate. ny.eater.com/2019/12/6/20999…

Was having a great #NACHC19CHI Until today's general session started giving me the gross feels. Just a fyi, I'm against the weight watchers app targeted to children , and it feels completely gross how much of this session is is so problematic.
