fat women on tumblr dot gov: i think i deserve to live happily and not have ppl tell me i’m disgusting just for existing and making wild assumptions abt my health
the notes: let’s not forget skinny ppl matter too… they’re different problems but let’s not invalidate other women… sometimes i can’t find jeans that fit either… someone asked me if i was going to finish my burger once and i died
To my friends on the spectrum, let me explain to you an unspoken social rule that possibly nobody has ever explained to you before
If a neurotypical asks you, “What game are you playing?” they’re not asking you to describe the game.
They’re asking you if they can play too.
THIS IS ALSO AN ASK CULTURE vs GUESS CULTURE PROBLEM!
To all the people going, “just ask like a normal person”, just asking isn’t always “normal”! (First of all, throw out the idea of “normal” because guaranteed there are plenty of places/cultures where your normal is just plain weird.)
For Guess Culture people it’s rude af to just ask to join someone at something, so you do little testing questions, like shown above.
For Ask Culture people, it’s rude to dance around making them guess what it is you want.
There’s nothing wrong with either of these but it makes communication… difficult, to say the least.
Here’s a whole article on it for those who are interested.

Oh, hey, a better way to put it than my speculative long post!
I've never noticed this before. I am definitely an asker, not a guesser. I can't even fathom the idea that someone would ask "what game are you playing?" and NOT expect you to answer the question that they literally asked you? It makes no sense to me
One thing that seems to be a consistent trait in almost all reactionary ideologies is this idea that everything is “biological” or otherwise innate. It’s the easiest way to justify inequality and prevent people from trying to change the social order– just convince people that it’s a “natural” order and that it’s impossible to change, and that obeying that order is somehow moral, that adhering to the hierarchies laid out by the society you find yourself in is the most moral thing you could do.
Misogynists invoke it. White nationalists invoke it. Capitalists invoke it. Transmisogynists invoke it. You just start to see it everywhere. “It’s biology” means “I have a god given right to hurt you.”
do not therefore fall for people who would try to sanitise it and say “it may not be biological, but it is so ingrained into you from the moment of your birth that your essence is only made of this one thing, and it will now forever prevent you from being able to learn anything else in any meaningful way. it may not be biological but it was predetermined for you, i know this about you just looking at your biological features.”

some illustrations i’ve done recently 💫
The notorious Untitled (Peyote Vision) (1955).
By actress, poet, occultist, artist, and general crazy person (but in a good way), Marjorie Cameron (1922-1995).
In 1957, artist Wallace Berman used a reproduction of this drawing as part of his assemblage, Temple. The LAPD raided the exhibition and arrested Berman on obscenity charges.

y'all. I lost this vape 2 years ago, then I had an exterminator come and I found my vape on a table. I asked all my roommates and none of them found it, so the only explanation is that the exterminator found the vape and set it on the counter for me. WTF
why can’t people accept “the media is over-hyping coronavirus” and “coronavirus is concerning given the lack of knowledge surrounding it” are both true? like can I order some nuance
and also "stop panicking about dying because most deaths will be due to previous immunocompromisation" and "we should work to reduce the spread as much as possible to keep those immunocompromised safe" are both true
This is probably the most Gen Z headline I’ve ever read and I can’t get enough
Hey young followers? Don’t fucking do this.
This is not about us. You’re gonna get other people killed.
It’s inconvinient. It sucks. I hate that I can’t go see my parents and my friends. I deal with it, because this is not about us. Protect vulnerable people, stay at home.
THANK YOU
Staying home is a preventative action.
Kids, I live in the middle of China. And guess what? It’s on the decline here, because travel was shut the fuck down, and people have been self-quarantining and staying home. Stay home. And I’m not saying that because I’m a doomsday fear-monger.
Do you know why self-quarantining works? Because the incubation period is anywhere from one to two weeks. You could be a carrier long before you know you have it. You can leave your home, catch it from another carrier, and go about your life spreading it to others for a solid fourteen days. And everyone knows that aeroplanes are just flying Petri dishes. You’re at risk of transmission on a plane, and you’re at risk of transmitting for much longer than most of you may realize.
The virus is travelling at an exponential rate because of this incubation period. When it reaches where you live, no one will know for two weeks. People will be passing it around for two weeks. And then the cases will crop up, and when they do, your healthcare systems will be overwhelmed. Your neighbours will be treated in hallways and waiting rooms. There will be limited resources, limited oxygen machines, limited kits. Doctors and nurses will be pushed to breaking point, and they will exhaust themselves. And as I’ve seen here, some of them will die as a consequence. And the elderly and the immunocompromised will be at risk of dying.
But you can help this. By staying the fuck home like the goddamn CDC says. Go out only if it’s necessary. For work, for groceries, for doctor visits. If your job allows you to work from home, do it. Travel only in emergencies. Stay home. Don’t put yourself or others at risk.
Here’s a graph!
See those flat lines? Those are Chinese provinces, where the virus could have been exponential, but people were quick to distance themselves and stay home, so it hasn’t been exponential. There haven’t been that many new cases. And, yeah, it was government-enforced. It also worked.
So when your CDC advises social distancing because your government can’t constitutionally enforce it? Do it. Just fucking do it. Look at the graph. And do it.
I know it sucks. But someone else’s right to LIVE is greater than your right to a cheap plane ticket and a weekend away.
We’re going to survive this. And you increase how many of us will by staying home.
Staying home is not a fear reaction.
Staying home is a preventative action.
