If hand sanitizer is painful on a cut because it's destroying the cell membranes of our cells, why doesn't it hurt when we don't have a cut on our skin?

Because your skin is not made of cells...it’s made of THE DRIED, KERATINOUS REMAINS OF CELLS.

alientic replied to your post “So this weekend, a friend of a friend was telling me about this game called "Fat Princess," which is apparently like capture the flag except they're trying to capture the princess. Your team can go find cake to feed your princess because the fatter she is, the harder it is to capture her. No one in our 7 person group other than myself could see anything wrong with the game, which I feel is almost as problematic as the game itself.”

Did you? My bad. I searched for it, but it didn't show any relevant results.

Yeah, I went looking for a link, too, but the search seems to be messed up. I don't know what's going on. Always worth bringing up again, though, which is why I published it.

I'm always super annoyed by the people who are thin who say that they don't see fat people being treated badly so obviously it doesn't happen. I mean, I'm white and I don't really see any racism, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist, does it? There's no way you can see everything that happens to a person.

Yep. And, frankly, a privileged person is likely to miss a lot of bigotry on show, especially microaggressions. Things a fatty notices when they're happening, and feel deeply, the thin person next to them is likely to not notice at all, or to utterly discount as a problem.

Why can't half your asks seem to figure out that the point is to not treat people like crap, no matter how much or how little they weigh, because they're not allowed to be in charge of other people's bodies/lives?

Because they very much want to be able to treat people badly, and to feel good about doing so. As long as they can maintain the illusion that they have a good reason to treat people like shit, and especially if that reason is either because there's something wrong with them  or it's for their own good, then they can continue to do so. They get pissed off at us because we say that it is not ok to treat us like shit, that it is not for our own good, and especially that there is nothing wrong with us.

I am so tired of people who have been trying to lose "those last 10 pounds" for years telling me about how easy it is to lose weight. If it's so easy, why haven't they lost their weight yet?

I had group of idiots stop me as I was coming out of the gym and tell me that "All land whales should do the world a favor and kill themselves." When I ignored them, they followed me all the way to my car, hurling insults at me. And yet I still have people tell me that there isn't as much fat bias as I think there is.

Hi! I have a possibly weird question, but I was creeping through your blog and I was wondering if you were part of the supernatural group/panel people at metacon?

I was not part of the pannel but i was the Suit Gamzee oddly walking around with the big super natural group :0)
