Oh yes, I didn't mean him. I meant that the other guy has a weird pseudo British accent. Poor impersonations of British accents are a trigger for me, though.

Fake British accents are the worst.

You'll have to forgive me if I am skeptical that playing pretend fat person for a day is going to help them better relate to their fat patients. It's insulting. Would we let doctors wear blackface to better relate to black people? I think not.

I agree on the point that medical professionals are people who need to work on their vices, but I'm still not convinced that this is the way to do it (see many other commenters who have suggested that this might increase fat shaming).

I agree on this point.

My English Bulldog only wants to make me happy some of the time. That doesn't mean that he's disobedient, unloving, or unintelligent, it just means that sometimes he gives me the "fuck you" stinkeye. I think I like that better as it feels more human. Also, it's hilarious.

"Eleanor Parker, the very talented actress thrice nominated for an Academy Award who notably played the Baroness in the Sound of Music, has died at 91"

This is like a horrible nightmare. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO MESS WITH PERFECT THINGS, WORLD?!

As a kid I made up an imaginary boyfriend based off Prince Eric. I sat my parents down and matter-of-factly told them that he'd be in our lives from then on. I vividly remember them trying to hold back their laughter.
