"Skinny-sick would be more descriptive of what the actual issue here is — that common perception is that only people who "look fat" can have adverse health effects that are typically associated with inactivity and poor nutrition — and less reinforcing of a damaging and dangerous falsity."

Anybody who's not doing what I'm doing to maintain the lifestyle I'm maintaining is obviously doing it wrong. I'll be over here. Judging.

Next step: condescending Facebook shares and diatribes!

Mostly I just don't eat mammals (even when I could eat whatever foods I wanted). So that puts some real limits.

I'm finally feeling alive again after being sick for another spell. That means I can work on art projects! I haven't drawn for such a long time that thinking about how long it has been makes me feel panicked. Instead I've been taping paint color sample cards to the wall of my room whenever my gut feels well enough.…

GOOD LORD RAHM. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THE BACK OF THAT CHAIR.

Christ, give me that. *grabs reciept* *rustle rustle rustle* THERE. IT'S A FROG.

maybe if partners paid more attention to ALL of each others needs, it wouldn't be so bloody common.

Beautiful to see people get involved, tragic that it's under these circumstances.

I made the comment below in a thread started by HermioneStranger about certain white Jezzies taking offense at being lumped in with "white people" in general during the many, many discussions that have happened in the wake of the Zimmerman verdict. She asked for a little perspective - "Hey, fellow white ladies of…

Success over depression! I threw out ALL THE BOOZE so I am no longer tempted to go on another binge! Feels so good. Not gonna have a sip until my party later in July. I'll be watching everyone else get wasted and act the fool (evil grin). Also, I should be able to get rid of the weight (booze calories) I put on,…

It's about the GAME, not the Players.

Luckily there is more written about class in the UK than probably any other subject relating to people in the UK. Check out anything by David Cannadine. He's made a career out of turning aristocrat-watching into sociological study.

Though ScalLolz put it pretty succinctly, social class is determined more on titles or…

neville becomes the doctor: when fan verses collide and probably explode haha

This little badger-scare snippet really could use some context. It's no wonder the jolly girls of Folkestone might be running a little bit terrified given the attention given to Mycobacterium bovis — TB in other words — which is being spread from badgers to cows and hence on to ... who knows? As most of these girls'…

Is cicada tonal? I need to work on my vocal range if so... oh the awkward miscommunications there could be.

Uh, no, I'm pretty sure she was taking a stab at that specific guy, as in he probably thinks men should cling to their wives because that's what he did after he moved out of his parents' basement. Because he is a myopic, close-minded little mole person. I'm fairly sure she wasn't talking about Christians in general.

Thanks for the explainer. That's what I was thinking, but didn't have the relevant medical info handy.

at around :32 when he/she looks plaintively at the camera like, "do you not see the insidious ways of the spoon? Lying there, SHINY-ING AT US!?"

While it is not unreasonable to argue that any sort of generalizing remark should be frowned upon, there are myriad differences between "26 yr-old boys are stupid, how do they survive" and "40 yr old women are unattractive, why do they bother getting up in the morning." For one thing, whether you like it or not,…

Actually, if we're talking about racism in Harry Potter, should we also talk about the fact that the kids from the French magic school all seem to be sexy and flirtatious, while the people from the Eastern European magic school are all kinda dour and potentially evil?
