body enthusiasm, body dynamism, body elation. the mainstream aesthetic is so flat and beige and boring right now, fucking feel something!

why would I want my relationship with my body to be neutral? literally nothing else in my life is.

all of the tenets of body neutrality are the same things fat activists were talking about 20 years ago, but now they're said by thin nutritionists on tiktok so it's palatable.

uncontrollable "food noise" is a boogeyman used to push GLP1s. shutting that noise off without addressing the underlying lack of safety, or inability to cope with stress, and w/o learning ways to convey safety to the nervous system, leaves pain unaddressed... & now with digestive issues!

fully convinced this game was made just for me and other Virgo risings with obsessive compulsive disorder whose partners play magic the gathering.
