When we talk about being fat-positive and we say, “weight is not an indication of health,” I will reblog it. But I want us to also say, “health is not an indication of value.”

I could be at any weight and I will never be healthy, because I am chronically ill. Someone might be chronically ill and fat, or they might be chronically ill and not fat, and it really doesn’t matter.

When you make it about health, you’re saying health is the pinnacle of human achievement, and you’re shitting on those of us for whom health will always be a pipe dream.

Oh
Oh

Okay, real talk guys. Coming from someone who’s been held up as an example of “weight is not an indication of health”, this is so SO critical.

Because guess what? I’m chronically ill. I don’t talk about it a whole lot, but I’ve got a pacemaker (from inappropriate sinus tachycardia/ autonomic dysfunction treatment), I’ve got Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, newly diagnosed adrenal insufficiency and am in the process of figuring which autoimmune disorder I have. I will be on steroids (among other medications) indefinitely. 

As much as it may look different on the outside, I will never be anyone’s traditional definition of healthy, no matter my weight. 

Remember this, and please, please, repeat it as often as necessary to take it to heart: “Health is not an indication of value.”

look if movies being like 2.5 hours long is just gonna be the norm from now on then we gotta bring back intermissions. please let me piss.

There is legit an app called “RunPee” that tells you when you can get up and go pee without missing anything important. You hit the timer when the movie starts and then it vibrates when you can make a pee run. It even gives you a little summary of what you missed that you can read while you pee.

Reblogging to save lives

Oh my god I need this

I have to pee in literally every movie this is a great idea!??!?

This actually IS great. I generally have to start limiting my fluids the day BEFORE I see a movie these days if I want any hope of getting through the whole thing. Bless this!

me: im depressed

neurotypical: have you tried yoga?

me: i have, yes. while i cant deny that it was certainly good for me to exercise at a point where its hard for me to make myself do anything at all, it didnt make me happy and usually just left me with less energy

neurotypical: have you tried to just be happy?

me: yeah. i went weeks pretending i was happy to convince myself and those around me that i was feeling better, but this made me feel miserable and vulnerable because the seeds of my depression lie in several different areas of stress which, while pretending to be happy, were not resolved.

neurotypical: i see. im sorry i couldnt help.

me: it’s ok, depression is a complex topic and the steps it takes to fight it can vary wildly depending on the person. its next to impossible to get the magic cure for it in a single conversation. i appreciate you taking the time to share some things that have helped you in the past in hopes that i might be able to use the information too. regardless of its direct usefulness for me specifically, i thank you for your time and for caring.

In the Italian city of Verona, local street artist Cibo paints colorful wall art full of appetizing food over neo-nazi graffiti (x)

“It’s my civic duty, and my right … honestly I feel like have a right to cover [erase] these kinds of things. Since I’m doing a public form of art, I have to take care of my city and … it’s like my own art gallery. How do you explain a swastika to a child? How do you do it? It’s impossible. It’s a racist message. And it’s not okay .”
