Looks like I forgot to post in a wee while. Well, during this time I have been busy. Here's my Toby and Henrietta, products of Rapido Trains. The Toby was a simple repaint and weathering, Henrietta was a lot more involved...

After several days of intense anti-corruption protesting by thousands of Bulgarians, demanding accountability and transparency, the government of Bulgaria has resigned. Never believe protest doesn’t matter.

These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.
Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.

for those of you who didn't know that fatphobia and transphobia are intertwined:
trans people seeking trans-specific medical care -- care that would otherwise be covered -- are often turned away until they lose weight. sometimes they're turned away full stop.
health care is held for ransom.

Earlier this year I hauled my fat ass over to New Jersey for a consult appt for top surgery.
I will not be going with that doctor, in part because her skinny ass was shocked that I estimated it would take me 3 months to lose 15 pounds.
"That long?!" she exclaimed.
It's definitely entwined.

it's crucial to understand how fatphobia is woven into oppression. it's woven into the war on poor people. it's woven into anti-Blackness. it's woven into trasnphobia and ableism. and all those ones are woven into each other.
without fat politics, your social justice lens has a big hole.
