“untitled2” ⟡ knitted tapestry, 70×85cm — soft ghostly friend
very difficult but a really really good nuanced read
Therapists, [Emmeline] Clein writes, insist that the eating disorder is “a second self … capable of mind control.” [...] Doctors would say, “‘this is the eating disorder talking,’ when you try to describe desires or moods,” one patient recalls. “She was praised when she was able to parse an ‘ED thought’ from a supposedly genuine thought,” Clein writes, “and applauded when she narrated her illness in external terms, casting it as a bad friend or an abusive lover.” Anorexia’s treatment thus reinscribes the disease’s own logic: the anorexic self is separate from the “true” self, who must be recovered; threats to the true self must be identified, quarantined and locked away—exorcised, even—rather than, as Clein puts it, “endured” and integrated. Clein, then, calls for a mode of treatment that teaches the patient to recognize the ways in which her agency has been scaffolded by and complicit in her disease. But she avoids any real confrontation with the problems that beset such a suggestion. The autonomy-deficit model has its attractions. In particular, it seeds an easy justification for why we must sometimes treat anorexics against their will. If anorexics are autonomous, shouldn’t they be left to get on with their diets? [...] I don’t know whether Alyssa should have been prescribed the MAID [Medical Assistance in Dying] drugs. But I am sure that she wasn’t lacking in autonomy. There was no demon lodged in Alyssa, wagging her tongue. Her voice is quite her own. The unhappy truth is that sometimes people with no agential defects will choose things that harm them. We can try to escape the hard choice between complicity on the one hand and paternalistic interference on the other by “finding” agential flaws where there are none. To read the anorexic as autonomous, then, need not mean that we stop trying to get her to eat. The anorexic governs and authors herself more fully than her peers. That doesn’t show that we should admire her discipline. It shows that we should be warier of self-governance as an ideal.
Catholic faith: The Pope is the closest to God and speaks His word
The Pope: Don’t be a dick to poor people
Fake Catholic: Not what I signed on for
Jesus: I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!
Catholicism: The pope is the highest spiritual authority on earth
The Pope: Poverty isn't a choice, and saying otherwise is cruel
Fake Catholic: You were sent by the devil
Ecclesiasticus, 34: 22-23
"The bread of the needy is their life: he that defraudeth him thereof is a man of blood. He that taketh away his neighbour's living slayeth him; and he that defraudeth the labourer of his hire is a bloodshedder.”
Even if you're a Bible literalist trad-cath, you can't argue with the book just because it said something you don't like, right?
Right?
SHES FINALLY DONE THANK GOD.

ive always been willing to die on the hill of cis women being able to beat cis men in sports so nobody will ever ever make me concerned about trans women in womens sports even if i was delusional enough to believe that was a comparable situation. do i think a cis woman could beat a trans woman in fucking pickleball or whatever? Buddy I think a cis woman could beat a cis male bodybuilder in sports. You will not get me
Love when Gringos, specially from north America approach the Bolsonaro trial with "I can't believe Brazil has more democracy than us" like we're a bunch of savages with no laws and it's somehow surprising to see Brazil jailing a man who attempted a coup.
It just shows you see Latinos like they're somehow less civilized than yourself, really and it's not the compliment you think it is
Really fucking wild how the US is literally threatening military action against Brazil for prosecuting one of their allies and I haven't heard a single peep from yanks about it
From Today
i hope you yanks get so guilty you kill yourself live on camera
Funny how in México we just had a mass casualty event in the capital, yknow, the third biggest city in the whole american continent. But we of course still have the bandwith to talk about what happened with that rotten bastard Kirk, AND how the US is making it impossible to hold the UN's anual meetings in NY by keeping out the Palestinian, Sudanese, Zimbabwean and BRAZILIAN delegations.
it’s fucking wild because one day you’re like i guess i’m not dying tragically young and you go to the store and you buy dental floss, ingredients for soup, and a bath mat
wish literally any gay papers would talk about lil nas x cause every article is either written with contempt OR makes sweeping assumptions by only quoting the cops and blatantly lies about things they contradict in their own article. like how is there no coverage of support or efforts to keep an eye on his location?
shortest possible story is that he he got arrested and hospitalized after walking around outside at night, MAYBE having 'an episode', MAYBE he was drunk, maybe he was high, maybe he was just being loud, who knows. Dude was outside at night in boxers and cowboy boots and that's all he did to "invite" police interaction.
But cops claimed he assaulted them so he gets arrested. Then goes to the hospital. Then goes back into custody.
And then he's not heard of for a while, then days later says he's out and okay. But facing FELONY charges!
WHERE IS EVERYONE? Pinknews cunts? Them? OutMag? Hello??
It's WIP Wednesday, folks. Let's see what ya got.
Currently working on Baby Blanky #2 v3. And if anything bad happens to this WIP I will do something that will put me in the evening news
Pattern is Ollie the Lamb by Justine Tiu
"Why is ContraPoints saying [advocating for Palestine] is totally futile? Because ContraPoints doesn't want to do anything about it... She feels that the only reasonable way to live is to accept that things are bad and not going to change. Even though that is actually unreasonable. Even though it is actually also morally quite bankrupt. You are the one who is experiencing doom. That is the thing that you feel. That does not mean other people are supporting a doomed cause. It means that you feel doom about their cause. Examine why you might feel that way. They thought Vietnam was a doomed cause, too. Cuban revolution was a doomed cause. Chinese revolution was a doomed cause... "Zero Palestinian lives were saved"... I don't think this is true. For instance, think about the vast amount of fundraising campaigns that have tangibly helped, even as aid is blockaded in Israel, that has tangibly helped Palestinians. They have gained support as a result of this activism. So saying "zero Palestinian lives were saved" again, this is not true. This is not true. But second of all, even if it was true, you're going to blame people for speaking out against things that are actually wrong because it wasn't effective enough instead of just like offering better ways to do it? Does something have to be done or not? Does something have to be done or not?"
-elliot sang again, "BreadTube is over"
I wanted to share these quotes from Sang's video because I think he is really getting at something central I notice all the time on tumblr.
So many people from the global north on this website (including the ones who quickly distanced themselves from liberals like ContraPoints), still cling to this unfounded belief in their own supposed powerlessness.
You are not powerless. Your decisions matter and have tangible impact on other people. You are in this world with the rest of us. Whether you want to accept responsibility for your behavior or not, it still meaningfully influences other people's lives.
Take stock of your actual, current impact. What are you already spending your days doing? How can you use your daily life to oppose genocide in Palestine?
If you're reading this you probably spend some of your time on tumblr. So use that to help people in Gaza to get food and medicine.
Last week after writing a post encouraging others to donate to my friend @fadel-dani's campaign (vetted by @gazavetters (#197) and 90-ghost) a lot of you actually did send funds.
Do you realize how much that tangibly improved his life last week?
He told me that he was able to buy flour and eat bread after previously having none for over a week. He was able to get painkillers and experience some small relief from his constant pain.
Your decision whether or not to donate (or whether or not to encourage other people to donate) is power. You are actually very powerful, and your decisions have a big influence on his family's life. You are deciding how to use that power right now.
My name is Fadel Al-Dany, a 23-year-old third-year IT student. My life hasn't … Fadel Aldany needs your support for Help the injured Fadel a
It is a blessing that we have the ability to relieve others' pain.
Send some money to Fadel and know you are using what power you have to help someone. You are a lifeline.
You are inextricably connected to other people. Your presence can be felt as a comfort by other people. Please embrace this.
I have told you time and time and time again.!!! that my family and I are in dire need of your help, and everyone is ignoring us and bypassing us. I hope that you will help me so that I can buy my medicine as soon as possible, and so that we can buy some food so that we do not die of hunger or be killed when we go for help. Please have mercy on us and help us by donating so that I can buy my medicine and some food. Please donate. Stand by us. Please help us by donating.
The donations make annimmediate tangible difference to Fadel, as closet-keys said, so please continue to share and give what you can! It will help Fadel afford medicine and other necesities
Please, friends, don't ignore me and leave us alone. Don't forget what we are going through. Please don't ignore what we are going through and what we are suffering from. Please donate to us so that I can buy my medication and buy some food as soon as possible. Please don't leave us alone. Please help us, Please donate.
Gaza is currently going through a famine and it is very important to donate directly to Palestinians so they can afford what's left of food. Fadel is in need of medication but also food to feed his family and himself.
If you can't donate please share this around.

My friends, we are dying of hunger under this genocide and ethnic cleansing practiced by the Zionist occupation. In front of the whole world, we are not asking you to stop the war on Gaza, we are only asking you to help me undergo my surgery as soon as possible and we can buy some food tomorrow. Please, we do not want to die of hunger. I hope you will help us and donate to us wherever you are. All I ask of you, people, is your support. I hope you will not forget us. Please don't ignore us .Please donate.

Please, if anyone can donate to Fadel! He needs food and medicine.
