T-Shirt Swim Club: Stories from Being Fat in a World of Thin People
Stories from Being Fat in a World of Thin People
bookshop.org
A year since T-Shirt Swim Club came out and I keep getting messages about how it helped folks feel less alone as a fat person and let them laugh at some of the ~horrors~
Check out the book Roxane Gay called:
“As charming and funny as it is poignant and thoughtful."

Oh well fuck that guy, that sucks, but I still think the original point stands.
ross’s whole deal is basically cozying up to white supremacists and telling them it’s ok to say shit about jews

IDK anything about Ross, but a quick google tells me he's Jewish, and a lot of Jews (myself included) will play on Jewish stereotypes to try to be funny or edgy.
There's a pretty good chance Puka just got pulled into something he didn't understand.

On a livestream yesterday, Puka both:
- Said that the Refs throw flags that they know are bad to brag to their friends in group chats, and
- Told Adin Ross that he'd do a "covetous jew" celebration on his next TD score
Suspend him tbh

Hey all, a friend’s cafe and comedy club, @sprtsdrnk.bsky.social, is getting review bombed on Google because they helped stand up to ICE. If you’ve ever been there or live in New Orleans, please drop them a positive review.

This special achieves the rarest of comedic feats: an actual good joke about the word "unhoused."

This week's episode of All Fantasy Everything was an instant classic. Multiple breaks for uncontrollable laughter, great picks, a good listen/watch in a stressful holiday season. Thanks @iankarmel.bsky.social @seanjordancomedy.bsky.social, David Gborie!

You gotta watch Death by Lightning on Netflix - Nick Offerman as Chester A. Arthur is the greatest thing that has happened in the last decade.

Wicked for Good is one of the worst movies I've ever seen and I love musicals and really liked the first Wicked. Just a self-serious frown fest, almost zero levity, zero fun, the two new songs add nothing, Michelle Yeoh's miscasting is even more apparent in this one, Goldblum seems lost. Big bummer.
