The core claims of the fat activism movement — anti-fat bias is widespread and harmful; the relationship between weight and health is complex; most weight-loss programs are unsuccessful — are all incontrovertibly true! And yet everyone keeps making up fake "radicals" to be mad at.

My godmother, re: workers demanding to WFH: “They’re just lazy! Who do they think they are anyway?”

After being sick, I have lost all progress in my fitness. I couldn’t run for 2 secs, let alone the 1 min splits I was doing in Feb/March. But this always happens when I’m left unsupervised (read: when I leave rehab gym & try “adult” gym). At least this time I didn’t injure myself & can start over. 💪

A common mistake many new writers make is crafting a character and then, without story justification or world building to support it, making them heterosexual. This leaves readers confused & takes them out of the story.

I am looking into moving away from RedBubble and to something like Shopify with a more inclusive, Australian manufactured, POD supplier. I don’t have the brain for this right now though.

I’ve been dumb. I got a loan to be able to afford my holiday. That’s not the dumb part. I can afford the loan repayments. The dumb part is that ever since, my brain has been stuck in REPAY LOAN mode, while also trying to save for holiday. Can’t do both. 1/

After 1 (one) gym treadmill session and 1 (again one) home work out session, I have hurt my shoulder. Good job, Me. 🙄🤦♀️

Just dawned on me today that I was really put through the wringer medically up until my late 20’s. And I have a stupid level of trust in the health system considering the way they treated me.

Imagine if they WERE modern ads, but they were 20th century styled. So old Coke ads and Maccas and etc.
Sydney's Museum station is an underrated gem.
Instead of ads for modern products, the billboards are all old 20th century advertisements. Some, for businesses that no longer exist, such as Mark Foy's department store.

I was initially treated by a paediatrician who told me my CFS was psychosomatic. I was 12/13. It was devastating.
It’s the greatest medical scandal of the 21st Century. Intransigent doctors and gullible journalists have made the lives of ME/CFS patients a living hell.
A massive and shocking story in this week’s column.

Can I ask Sky Friends, how are you supposed to care for your shaved head? I am so. fucking. ITCHY! And it’s only 3! I’ve only been shampooing with the same hydrating shampoo I always use. No conditioner. I tried some aloe vera gel out of desperation. 😅 1/2

This whole Virgin pets on planes thing. If I put my cat in her carrier (trauma) drove her to the noisy airport (+1 trauma), took her on a plane & shoved her under a seat (+10 trauma) & then took off & landed, with the noise & pressure changes that involves (+4748 trauma), she would murder me.

They’re finished! #knitting I would have liked them a bit longer a floppier. I think they look like knee high socks without the feet. Oh well. Next time.

I need to stop doing “practice” versions of #knitting projects. I’ve almost finished my “practice” leg warmers and I’m officially over fucking leg warmers! So instead of doing another “good” pair, I’m thinking I’ll give circular needles another go and try some socks. 🤔💪
