Press Conference and Rally for the Dream 30

Meet me at the rally! 

1:00 PM at 100 Peachtree St NE  Atlanta, GA 30303 (in front of the Equitable building at the corner of Peachtree and Luckie Street) 

Tomorrow afternoon the National Immigrant Youth Alliance along with many DREAMers will be bringing home the Dream 30. They are undocumented folks who have either been deported or forced to return to Mexico out of desperation and persecution. One of them, Jonathan, is from Buford, GA and is trying to get back to his family. Jonathan grew up in the United States and is of no risk or harm and should be allowed to come home with humanitarian parole. 

The border crossing at a point in Texas will be live streamed and will be watched together after the press conference at American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) at 2:00 pm. There will be a phone bank following the viewing. 

Please join us! Bring banners, posters, and energy!

it literally does not matter if you use

dude

bro

man

gurl

babe

bb

 as “gender neutral and affectionate names”

if someone expresses discomfort with those names and you tell them that you are no longer being affectionate and probably being hurtful

You roll, gurl.

Attention! Those who like pumpkin-everything and like Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte:

Coffee Mate Pumpkin Spice creamer tastes with regular coffee tastes just like the pumpkin spice latte and it’s waaay cheaper. A tall one at Starbucks it’s $4.00, and this one would be ~$0.20 a cup (making up that number, but seems about right).

Anyway, try it if you’d like. It’s a good way to save money this fall.

Cheat days

I've been thinking a lot about "cheat days" and what that all entails. This past Thursday I was all day at uni, studying, working, and afterwards at an event I organized. My mom brought me a bear claw for breakfast, and I ate that, then I decided that I really wanted a pumpkin latte, and at the event we had cheese pizza and cookies. So I ate different stuff than what I usually eat, things that aren't considered part of a "healthy" diet (healthy is different for everyone anyways).

But why is this cheating? Who am I cheating? Am I cheating myself? Am I cheating other's expectations of what being and eating healthy means? Because this just adds unnecessary guilt, usually related to fat-phobia. So it's not a cheat day, I'm eating differently for a day (or a few), but we don't do things exactly the same every day. I am enjoying something I like and that's not really cheating.

Plot twist: A fat protagonist has a compelling arc and stays fat the whole time, because using weightloss to signify personal growth is fucked up and also lazy writing.

STOP MISGENDERING PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU DON’T LIKE THEM YOU RAGING JACKASS

Stop equating fitness to size.

Your size doesn’t necessarily indicate how fit you are

Your size doesn’t necessarily indicate how fit you are

If tomorrow, women woke up and decided they really liked their bodies, just think how many industries would go out of business.

Dear Local Businesses

Putting up a sign that says “JOIN US IN THE WAR AGAINST OBESITY” guarantees that I will never, EVER, spend money there. My body is not a battlefield. No body is.
