AND ANOTHER THING: I don't give one single solitary fuck if fatness DOES make people unhealthy. Health is not a moral issue. Health does not determine the value of a human being. If you believe only "healthy" people deserve to be treated respectfully, then you can go to hell.

There's no intrinsic value in more education that justifies this argument. If I get a Ph.D in romantic lit that isn't more valuable than a barista

@LZats Aw, damn. Good for them!

Yeah, I’ve done the alerts - it keeps slipping through. One day though!

[Marianne Kirby @TheRotund]

@LZats Which is to say, can I buy this or donate to your current favorite cause in exchange for this?

[Marianne Kirby @TheRotund]

@LZats ImmOH MY GOD I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO BUY THIS FOR 10+ YEARS

@nniskanen @LeighHarlen @QueenOfRats YES THIS ABSOLUTELY! I should have said that part. 😆

@LeighHarlen @QueenOfRats @nniskanen The search terms you want for YouTube videos on the process are “how to clone a garment” or “how to copy a garment” - stuff along those lines. :)

@LeighHarlen @QueenOfRats @nniskanen If it is still a shirt you actively wear, lay some paper out on a matt you can pin into and use the pins to outline the pieces one at a time very carefully on the seam lines. Then trace the holes on the paper and add seam allowance.

@thief_pasta Thank you! I decided I was not getting actually dressed to go buy thread at the Joann. 🖤

Age 10: I had a pair of bright magenta sweatpants I wore with knock-off LA Gear high tops. (Alas, I never had scrunch socks though.) A family member pointed out how fat I looked in them.

Age 45: I leave the house for the first time since 5th grade wearing sweatpants.

Me, a professional bra fitter for 12 years: DD is a small cup size

Yall on here: "Why are we having bra size wars?"

"Well what's my A/B/C cup size then?!?! 😭"

"No, you're lying because MY DD bras are HUMONGOUS!"

It's funny. But I said what I said.

Please note: if we are at a party and I am drinking, I will try not to tell you allllllll about my nonbinary space smuggler but if you ask, all bets are off. It’ll be great.

Matt does all kinds of incredible work - but this is my new favorite! Every character looks amazing (we all think our individual characters look the coolest [but mine looks the coolest 😆]) but also the Manor and the environmental details are incredible. So in love with this.

@anoteinpink Zero problems that lead to no conflicts of interest whatsoever.

I have to laugh because there are people desperately grabbing at straws and lying trying to say this isn't peer-reviewed when it went through a three-tier vetting process & edits and was reviewed every step by college faculty & literary professors who work with & run the Journal

[Marianne Kirby @TheRotund]

This is such an interesting game. Really enjoyed it.

@robstrong We saw this driving in northern Vermont! It was so huge and directly in front of us in the sky and it was amazing. So stoked you got it on camera. Thank you for posting it.

[Marianne Kirby @TheRotund]

We saw this last night, driving in northern Vermont! It was huge in person and so wild to see.
