AND ANOTHER THING: I don't give one single solitary fuck if fatness DOES make people unhealthy. Health is not a moral issue. Health does not determine the value of a human being. If you believe only "healthy" people deserve to be treated respectfully, then you can go to hell.

There's no intrinsic value in more education that justifies this argument. If I get a Ph.D in romantic lit that isn't more valuable than a barista

Me, a professional bra fitter for 12 years: DD is a small cup size
Yall on here: "Why are we having bra size wars?"
"Well what's my A/B/C cup size then?!?! 😭"
"No, you're lying because MY DD bras are HUMONGOUS!"
It's funny. But I said what I said.

Age 10: I had a pair of bright magenta sweatpants I wore with knock-off LA Gear high tops. (Alas, I never had scrunch socks though.) A family member pointed out how fat I looked in them.
Age 45: I leave the house for the first time since 5th grade wearing sweatpants.
ALT Marianne, a very fat pale femme, leans forward into a mirror to take a selfie. She’s wearing black sweatpants, a grey tshirt tied up to show her midriff, and black converse with moons and stars on them. She’s got on red lipstick, a black crossbody jelly basket bag, and mirrored aviators shaped like hearts and her hair is in braided pigtails.

Matt does all kinds of incredible work - but this is my new favorite! Every character looks amazing (we all think our individual characters look the coolest [but mine looks the coolest 😆]) but also the Manor and the environmental details are incredible. So in love with this.

Please note: if we are at a party and I am drinking, I will try not to tell you allllllll about my nonbinary space smuggler but if you ask, all bets are off. It’ll be great.

I have to laugh because there are people desperately grabbing at straws and lying trying to say this isn't peer-reviewed when it went through a three-tier vetting process & edits and was reviewed every step by college faculty & literary professors who work with & run the Journal

The AMA’s statement on BMI now is just… This fucking number has been such a weapon. I’m astonished at this official stance on it.
This is progress! It’s racist! It’s bad for kids! It’s not about individuals! The AMA admitted these things!

Hey, guys! Apologies for the barrage of tweets, 'tis the nature of a book (re)birthday! This link is to a post I wrote on gender identity in Terre d'Ange, knowing what I know 20 years later...
