Just *achingly* pathetic, ain’t it?

As someone with a history of ED, I can’t express my rage with BMI still being used as an arbiter of individual health. I have never, from age 3 onward, fell into the “normal” weight category. I’ve always fallen into the “overweight” and “obese” ranges.

Christ, leave him the fuck alone already.

Huh.  I’ve been fat my entire adult life and I’ve been lectured about nutrition and drinking too much skim milk, but no doctor has ever actually ASKED about my relationship with food.   If that doesn’t tell you how awful health care is, it should.  You’re fat = you eat too much = you are stupid or lack self control. …

TBH, I want some red Keds with Simon’s Cat on them. Seuss? Nah. I’ll take this chonky charmer:

Why are gun-nuts such piss-pants cowards? They seems to walk round in a state of perpetual terror that someone is about to jump out on them.

Seriously, this is a name from that past that should have stayed in the past.

Didn’t recognize her without the mustard on her shirt.

Matt Gaetz is a “Daddy’s money got me where I am today” frat boy through and through.

We don’t like April Fool’s jokes, but we do love dogs. So if we combine the two into something adorable...

That’s why we need to legalize and destigmatize sex work. Then we can get OSHA involved to protect people from toxic hazards on the job.

This is why sex work skeeves me out. Imagine having to sleep with Matt Gaetz to make a living. Gods. 

Not me, I want her to suffer and die.

... and like that, his approval rating just shot up to 99.x% in his home district. 

If you’ve never interacted with a Yankees fan, consider yourself blessed and highly favored. There is no other fandom on earth as aggressive, as obnoxious, as full of assholes as the Yankees fandom.
