Literally the opposite of what I said. Clearly the way health care workers talk about obesity right now is not working. It is their job to make sure the message is not lost in fatphobic ideas. 

The issue is not feeling like treating yourself. The issue is Krispy Kreme piggybacking their product and tying it to a public health endeavor.

Obesity is a real risk factor. Unfortunately the way it’s been discussed has been fatphobic and places blame on individuals. Once that negative association sets in, it became difficult to use it as a purely medical term. Also the way it’s codified in terms of BMI is a very flawed short hand. Now a lot of people are…

You could argue those health professionals should have left “obesity” out of the discussion. There are many valid points about fatphobia, uselessness of the BMI and the fact that most “skinny” people are actually metabolically unfit. Remove obesity, and you are still left with cancers, strokes, liver disease, PCOS etc.

The problem is Krispy Kreme does not expect you to stop at one free donut. It’s a marketing ploy to lure pandemic customers back. Come for the one free glazed donut, stay for a bunch of sugar jacked pastries, coffee drinks and snacks on display at the counter. The science is very clear that sugar triggers a dopamine…

Yup. Even the way his statement was worded was so lacking in affection. He could have described his relationship with a printer with greater warmth. He does not give a shit about her. 

Hahahahaha. Wheezing at the testimonials. Gosh how old is that website? It is exhausting that we keep having the same discourse over and over.

Right? One would think their handlers would be savvier than this.

The superhero Captain BlackFriend has been wheeled out to rescue poor Willy from accountability.

And everyone walking around with Chinese/Japanese/Korean scripts or Asian tribal art tattooed on their bodies.

While I agree with this. It is still obscene that a member of the wealthy class that benefits the most from the lack of a welfare system is asking teenagers to donate to a GoFundMe.

Thank you for this. I have been watching Allen v. Farrow. Pitt’s reception at the Golden Globes, is very reminiscent of Allen’s reception at the Oscars. The narrative of bad woman ruining a good man by using his children against him keeps playing itself out. The bias against women and mothers is so strong that even…

Society has been convinced that kink caters entirely to violent male desires. Therefore anything, including the murder of women must be excused as consensual in the name of “kink”.

It is so telling that the media/police/justice system do not seem think that massacaring 8 women, 6 of whom were Asian is a hate crime. The debate on whether this was a hate crime based on race is ridiculous. But they don’t even seem willing to make a legal case that this was a hate crime based on gender as well. This…

Didn’t see reports he made a death threat. He ended up falling on his own sword by resigning anyway. Which is more than can be said for Cuomo whose hubris knows no bounds.

That punishment actually fit the crime. Cuomo is not being asked to resign for being verbally abusive despite even more stories his verbal abuse. He is being pressured to resign for his sexual abuse. For better or for worse, there is a hierarchy of bad behavior.

Sharon Osbourne is buried here in a sea of awfulness, but what she did was diabolical. She couldn’t handle the tiniest twinge of of her conscience. So, she manufactured a charge that Sheryl Underwood is bullying her for her association with Piers. Then she turned on the water works, placed the burden on Sheryl to…

“Abortion access is hanging on by a thread”

Oh yup, I figured he was just another white dude bringing up the Irish so he can avoid talking about racism. But I got tired of posting easily available information for someone who has no interest in the truth. Had to tap out.

Haha, of course. Zero surprise here. “Progressives” who get up in arms about class while actively denying racism is an issue are nearly always white male.
