Could Travolta be dyslexic? That is the only way I can see him pronouncing her name like that.

I seriously feel like this was another case of the Oscars holding a pity party. They do this with PWD all the time. They write versions of us that are basically a series of stereotypes meant to be pitied or serve as inspiration porn (e.g. Forrest Gump, Rainmain, etc), and then reward whatever able-bodied person they…

One of the studies that had the most profound impact in my own life was reported by Mihaly Csikzentmihalyi in which he found that we are generally notoriously bad at predicting the activities that bring us joy or pleasure.

I don't really know how to fix that, maybe shift the focus from "having an eating disorder" to "you engage in disordered eating" would…

Heard this on the radio on the way to work the other day. They said this was a new diet (It's not - i knew about this back in the 90s), then they talked about how dumb any woman doing this is. These are the same DJs who routinely reduce any woman they talk to/about to her hotness level AND ring a bell whenever anyone…

This whole case is dripping with internalized sexism. So effing gross.

Some people think that their fucklist can substitute for personality.

Her size does tend to provoke self-reflection.
