Why aren’t the real perils of fat athleticism ever shown in print or video?

I mean, raise your hand if you’re fat and you’ve ever been disrespected while innocently exercising. Um, me too.

Don’t know what we’re talking about? Close your eyes and imagine our fat woman du jour, smiling while standing next to an elliptical machine. Or maybe she’s gleefully jogging through a random park, bundled up in unnecessarily bulky sweatshirts and baggin, saggin’ sweatpants.

But quick- what’s left out of these shots? How about the other gym patrons, who are usually quick to rudely ogle and/or offer unsolicited advice to our fat heroine. Also left out of the spotlight? The passerby who decides that it’s appropriate to cat-call our heroine while she finishes her jog in the park. On a regular basis, fat athletes are mocked, discriminated, and emotionally assaulted.

So what’s the deal? Are fat women supposed to be grateful for the opportunity to be disrespected? Nah, I don’t think so. Instead of waiting around for the rest of the world get with the program, I’m just going to continue embodying the worst living nightmare of fat shamers and haters.

I will continue to wear sport bras (like this very comfortable and functional little number from Catherine’s) while exercising outdoors. I will continue to show my stretch marks. I will continue to wear cute, form fitting leggings that show off my curves. I shouldn’t have to hide my body because it makes other people uncomfortable.

Furthermore, I don’t need weight loss as a goal in order to enjoy a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle. Wellness isn’t about body size- it’s simply  a commitment to being  a happy and joyful creature, both inside and out. So even when the gym patrons gawk and passerby cat call, I resolve to decline the opportunity to be disrespected. I’m gonna hold my head high and know that I don’t need the approval of people who hate happiness and want to breed negativity. Everything I need in order to be happy and healthy is inside of me.

Yoga is one of the things that probably saved my life, when my head is bussing with thoughts and I feel stressed out I roll out my mat for my yoga practice. It always helps me relax, balance my mind and reconnect with my inner self. It has helped me appreciate my body for all it can do and for all it can learn. I strongly recommend doing yoga for finding peace within yourself and for learning to connect your body with your soul. Yoga classes are thought everywhere. But they can be quite expensive. So youtube comes in. For everybody who would like to start a yoga practice but doesn’t know where to begin, here are some amazing yogi’s you can search on YouTube for amazing yoga tutorials: - Tara Stiles - Bananablondie - Jenconverso oats-and-yoga - Ali kamenova - yoga with adrien

if ur reading this and u take anti depressants, please remember to take ur medication every day because u cannot just stop suddenly taking that shit because u will feel terrible and possibly even worse than u did before. if u don’t have any desire to take ur medication anymore, please talk to ur doctor. don’t just decide to stop taking it because u have to gradually come off it. coming off of anti depressants so suddenly can lead to intense thoughts of suicide and other bad symptoms so like please be really careful babies. stay safe.

Also drugs and alcohol will interfere with psych medications!!!!

a system that demonizes brown immigrants and ignores the 50,000 undocumented irish immigrants is proof that the ICE raids are rooted in blatant racism

[thbstvrdthmtlbndndntn]

religious homophobes think that as long as they’re polite about their hateful views it’s not gonna count as hate well it does and it literally kills people and you stay silent with that “I love you but I don’t support your lifestyle” you don’t fucking deserve the right to say you love us it’s a goddamn LIE

PSA: THERE IS NOT A PLAGUE OF DISAPPEARING CHILDREN IN DC

the police have recently started using social media to try to find missing persons:

and it’s working!

so don’t panic, there isn’t a predator on a kidnapping spree targeting black kids. rather, the missing person reports that had previously not been treated very seriously are now getting the attention they deserve, and lots of kids are coming home safe because of it.

the DC police aren’t covering anything up. just the opposite. the world’s not quite as terrible as we feared.

https://twitter.com/DCPoliceDept – go ahead and check it for yourself.

[gameover03909987-deactivated202]

uh nah fuck all that

as a bitch who lives in the dmv, i can tell you that there are in fact predators kidnapping children every fucking day and they have been for a very long time

the only thing that has changed recently is that the police have been called out on social media and so now they have to look like they are doing something

i can promise you, that whatever amount of children they are finding as of recently doesn’t even sort of make a dent in the amount of children they have let slip through their fingers 

“well the police on twitter said everything is ok so”

the fact that you even said “they weren’t getting the attention they deserved” should have been the sign to shut the fuck up about this but here we are 

like those are people’s kids and they didn’t care until now and you still want to trust them? 

sex trafficking is real you fucking weirdos so you can shove those screenshots up your ass 

[ororomunroedontpullout]

DC community members are organizing and rallying because the past month the disappearances have been unprecedented. Y'all trusting the police or the parents of the kids missing? Obviously it looks bad on dcpd if all these kids are missing with national attention now because people used twitter and Facebook to say something so of course they would try to down play what’s going on.

[uluhlynx-deactivated20251027]

Also there’s a sex trafficking issue in the area people wanna pretend doesn’t exist you can’t tell me these things aren’t related…

What exclusionists say happens: LGBT+ people are being shamed for having sex by asexuals?!! What actually happens: A lot of misguided teenagers just discovering asexuality are saying a lot of anti-sex things because they are finally told they don’t have to like sex and because of them being young they generally don’t know any better and post things without any indication of them knowing anything about queer history. Fucking educate people and be nice to kids instead of harassing them and sending them suicide threats (plus putting gore, nsfw stuff and other awful shit in the positivity tags.)

If you look at the ingredients list and it’s a bunch of words you don’t even know… neither does your body (x)

[the-exercist]

Just like if you break apples and grapefruit down into their chemical components, I’m willing to bet that most people wouldn’t recognize the “ingredients” either. It’s a bunch of words you don’t even know:

Don’t use these scare tactics - Chemicals aren’t inherently bad. Literally everything is made up chemicals. Trust me, your body knows what niacin is. It knows how to digest fructose and calcium sulfate. Even if you only consume the most basic and “real” foods that are pulled directly off the vine, you’re still ingesting a series of chemical compounds that you probably can’t pronounce. That’s okay. 

[ohnofixit]

thanks to drhoz for submitting!

[terrible-tentacle-theatre]

“If you can’t pronounce it, it’s bad for you” is literally the worst pseudo-scientific scaremongering bullshit tactic. I hate it so much.

I’m pretty sure you can pronounce “arsenic”, but that doesn’t change the fact that arsenic is highly toxic. On the other hand, you couldn’t pronounce “cycloadenosine monophosphate” or “nicotine-amide-dinucleotide-phosphate”, though both of them serve vital roles in human biochemistry and you would die if your body wouldn’t produce them.

[dr-archeville]

Cyanide: Easy to pronounce, very bad for you.

Eicosapentaenoic acid: Difficult to pronounce, very good for you.

It’s more important to know what the chemicals are and why they’re in there.  Anti-intellectualism helps no one.

I’m gonna keep reblogging this until my knuckles fall off.

This is especially hilarious because grapefruit is well known for being dangerous for some people because of how it can interact with certain medications. Do fruit loops do that?

You are way too hard on yourself. People make mistakes. Forgive yourself.
