I'm so lucky because I'm yearning to hang out with friends and I'm yearning to go back to work and I'm yearning to plan my future and I'm yearning to be in love and all of it is in arms reach I am at a buffet and I can taste any dish I want, I just need to remember to chew what's in my mouth first

new year means please remember to be like nice and normal about fat people, the fat person you are or could become, the fat person you could fall in love with or friends you could have. fatness is not a corrupting force, fatphobia is. the performance is unhealthy, weight loss is social is political
