[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Last year the Kavanaugh nomination was rammed through the Senate without a thorough examination of the allegations against him. Confirmation is not exoneration, and these newest revelations are disturbing. Like the man who appointed him, Kavanaugh should be impeached.

Our president, 2 SCOTUS justices & the NYT believe sexually traumatizing women is harmless fun.
You know who's winning the culture wars?
Rape Culture.

We have a long way to go to change the conversation.
Is it be possible that the push for body inclusion in the eating disorder treatment community could improve care for everyone? What if inclusion is not a loss, but the only path to body liberation for every body?

73% of mostly women reported that MyFitnessPal was linked to the development of their eating disorder. Levinson Et al(2017). My Fitness Pal calorie tracker usage in the eating disorders. Eat Behav,27, 14-16. #wakeupweightwatchers @ww_us @BalancedTx

A study on 4,000 Finnish twins (16 to 25 yo) found that dieting, independent of genetics was assoc with accelerated weight gain, in a dose-dependent manner with each dieting episode. Pietiläinen, K(2011). Does dieting make you fat?. Int J Obes Mar;36(3):456 #wakeupweightwatchers

[Dana @DanaSturtevant]

Yep. This is my experience too.

A 3-year study on nearly 2,000 teens found that dieting is the most important predictor of new eating disorders Patton et al. (1999). Onset of adolescent eating disorders: population based cohort study over 3 years.

"If u've lost trust w ur body it makes sense that u're a little skeptical right now & we want u to know that we reclaim trust, like we do in any relationship where trust is lost,through tiny consistent acts over time." https://t.co/TvlHupRskK

@Gary_Malcolm @triketora If you‘ve not read the book “When women were birds”, I highly recommend - author wrote it after her mother, on her deathbed, told her she’d left her all of her journals but to wait until she’d passed to read them. A month after dying, she opens the journals & they’re all empty!

[Dana @DanaSturtevant]

I’m pretty sure mine should have changed by now!

[Dana @DanaSturtevant]

Thank you @ANNELAMOTT

[ANNE LAMOTT @ANNELAMOTT]

I have to write something tmrw. The panic has set in: It’s beyond me, the well has run dry, beating a dead horse. Also milk from a Medicare turnip. But writers can’t live in the problem—our terrible self-esteem and grandiosity. Move into the solution: butt in chair;
Write badly.
