Ariana Grande becomes the first artist in music history to be publicly diagnosed with an eating disorder by strangers on the internet, have her body relentlessly scrutinized throughout an entire tour, and still finish it with NO cancellations.
It’s worth noting that people who actually struggle with an ED can experience feeling out of place, *low energy*, exhaustion, and feeling physically drained, meanwhile Ariana was full of energy each show.
Ariana Grande has wrapped up her ‘eternal sunshine’ tour after 41 sold-out shows, completing every date without a cancellation despite claims she can’t handle it.
NBC reports that the scrutiny surrounding Ariana Grande’s body has been triggering individuals with eating disorders:
“Several care providers said their clients have been overwhelmed with emotions, including fear and anger, as they watched thousands of people leave a mixture of worried and cruel comments about Grande’s body.”
Today is Land Day.
50 years ago today, six un-armed Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces and more than 100 were injured during protests against Israel’s confiscation of Palestinian land.
