Ride the Spiral to the End...

Just random things as they hit me, from music moments, to art preview, and fangirling. You will find NSFW stuff here. You will also find things about sexuality, roleplaying, music, art and life in general. I don't maintain a specific theme, I go with...

Oh hi,

I am mostly on bluesky these days for those of you who either want to follow or want to avoid me. I will be dropping random fanart over here occasionally but my chatty self will remain on Bsky.

as a small update, broke my femur in December, still relearning to walk, back in school and working full time at a great company.

Hope those who care are doing well. <3

A Narrative Review of the Weight-Centered Health Paradigm and Development of the 3C Framework to Build Critical Competency for a Paradigm Shift

This recently published, free-to-access article is one of the best summaries I’ve ever read of the critiques of conventional weight science. From the lack of evidence of an “obesity epidemic” to the “obesity paradox” (higher BMIs can be health protective) to the evidence that weight-based interventions are making people sicker, they’ve concentrated the best work in the field here and cited heavily. It’s also a very hopeful picture for future approaches to weight and health!

If you don’t want to dig thru lots of books on the topic, read this and save it for reference.

[fresh-bag-of-ham]

The WCHP is the dominant weight-related health paradigm throughout much of the world. Eating disorders therapist Jeanne Courtney captured the differences between the HAES paradigm and the WCHP in this reinterpretation of the light bulb joke (Courtney, 2010):

How many weight loss experts does it take to screw in a light bulb? Three. One to stand on the ladder and keep trying to screw a burned out bulb into a socket that doesn’t fit, one to stand under the ladder and tell him he’s doing a great job, and one to write a press release declaring that the three of them have discovered a revolutionary, completely safe and effective new way to screw in light bulbs. How many Health at Every Size experts does it take to screw in a light bulb? The light bulb is fine, the socket is fine, the switch is on, and the room is brightly lit, but it still takes several dozen Health at Every Size experts, with impeccable academic credentials, to publish independent studies proving that there is no need to change the bulb. And those three guys with the ladder still won’t go away.

[forineffablereasons]

Read this article in full over my lunch hour and here are my notes in summary: 

There is virtually no evidence that overall health is negatively affected by high BMI. There is virtually no evidence that ‘anti-obesity’ initiatives or programs have any effect on a population’s weight. Long-term studies of weight loss programs that follow participants after the weight has been lost find that 95% of participants regain the weight within 2-5 years, along with significantly worsened health problems associated with weight cycling. Not only does weight stigma result in negative psychological and physiological effects, but there is evidence, ironically, of a direct causal pathway between experiencing weight stigma and weight gain. By contrast, Health at Every Size program participants do show improvements in both psychological and physiological areas, particularly regarding positive self-image, stress levels, and intuitive eating. HAES also rejects the idea that we are all personally, morally responsible for pursuing perfect health, and that we are personally to blame if we get sick - the literature just doesn’t support the assertion that we personally have that much control over it, and any control we do have is usually directly related to social privileges or the lack thereof, such as income/poverty, race/immigration status, and gender.

“Kuhn believed that there are anomalies within all paradigms, but they are easily discounted as acceptable levels of error, or simply ignored. The anomalies within the WCHP (weight-centered health paradigm) have been ignored for many years, but as the body of evidence about them grows, they have been acknowledged not as error (paradigm shifting) but as the ‘obesity paradox’ (paradigm enhancing). 

But for how much longer can such errors and inconsistencies be explained as merely paradoxes?”

I’m going to miss this place. There’s not an inch of this city that wasn’t built from the fierce wilderness that surrounds it. Hurricanes, floods, fevers. The damp climate on every painted sign, every stone facade. High windows, through which enameled bits of civilization glitter. Silhouettes emerging, wandering out to catch a silent flash of lightning. The silky warmth of summer rain.

The Tyranny of Faith by Martina Fačková

[thettempest]

our landlord has apparently gotten tired of waiting for emergency rent assistance to continue to assist us (we signed up in january, they helped us until june at which point every time we’ve asked they’ve said they’re ‘processing’ but they recently started emailing us again so we had hope they were going to help us soon.) and sent us a notice that if we don’t pay $700 by monday morning or move out by that same time we’ll be evicted

we only get a little over $800/month from my mom’s disability and we’ve already spent a lot of it on stuff like the electric bill, our cats, my mom’s medicine, etc

if anybody can help in any way my paypal is [email protected] or just please boost this post

we obviously cannot afford to be evicted, we have no car and nowhere to go. we currently don’t even have a fucking phone because the company my mom gets a free one through is being weird about a replacement for hers. my mom and i are both disabled and we have cats to take care of.

i’m so scared i’m shaking rn, i feel ill

please help

[thettempest]
