This is coming from someone who has had two eating disorders. It completely takes over your brain and it’s so hard to get out of that mindset. That’s why it’s so important to have people around you that don’t bullshit you and are honest with their concerns.
The Ariana stuff is so sad to see. She’s at a point where I don’t know how she’s physically doing a tour. They have to be giving her IV drips for nutrients because there’s zero way her food intake could provide her with the energy she needs. Karen Carpenter died at 32 from anorexia and wasn’t even as small as Ariana is now. It just raises the alarm bells that she is quite literally on borrowed time if she doesn’t get help soon. It’s dystopian to see so many of her fans deny what’s going on and encourage her behavior. The last thing a person who’s going through something like this needs is an echo chamber validating their mental illness. She 100% needs help and not just words of encouragement. She needs treatment and I just hope she will make the decision to get that before it’s too late. Her recent photos are devastating to see. Her muscle mass is completely deteriorated. There’s a reason this tour is only 90 minutes and has a small stage with limited shows. She physically cannot do a big tour anymore. I don’t understand why people are still trying to deny what’s happening. She is clearly suffering from anorexia and she needs help.
I’m not sure why I apparently need to write a dissertation in every tweet to make the point that billionaires have undue, problematic influence on global politics and have exercised said influence to kill hundreds of thousands of poor people. The wealth gap is the largest it’s been in recorded Canadian history — a clear symptom of an inequity problem.
Publicly funded sectors like healthcare and education are underfunded while billionaires don’t pay their fair share. You see it in hospital wait times. Classroom sizes. The ultra rich have several homes and financialize the market while people can’t pay their rent.
The proof is all around us, every day. It’s been documented ad nauseam. Trickle down economics have been debunked.
Forgive me for distilling that reality into the “loser” insult.
Anyone hoarding billions in wealth in a society that has struggling public services is the epitome of exactly that — a loser — and in the context of everything I just laid out, I think distilling it to that diagnosis in a tweet is actually fine!
rest in paradise oliver tree 💛 you beautiful creative weirdo, you and your art will be incredibly missed💛 easily the best performance and production i've seen
BTW, a very funny and extremely appropriate way to respond to any Zionist who starts ranting about how they have the right to kill Palestinians is to just to look at them fearfully and say "oh my God, I feel so unsafe right now because of what you're saying." They are so unprepared for someone else to play the victim. It's very funny.
I don't think a lot of people know or realize this - not only were Queer people victims of the Holocaust, when everyone else was freed, Queer people were *re-imprisoned*
Imagine what that must have felt like.
The Shopify CEO is an all time loser, up there with Elon.
Just a mortifying wealth glutton.
You can’t “make” this much money. You can only steal the fruits of others’ labour.
The fact that billionaires exist — while Canadians can’t afford groceries — is a societal failure
A single NDP MP from Edmonton is a louder voice for Toronto residents than 23 mute Liberal MPs
Carney destroying our waterfront would be a historic mistake for this city and the Liberal Party
