As a weed smoker, I’m 100% on board with public courtesy. Nobody wants skunk smell blasted in their face at a bus stop.
But I have to ask: Why does public weed smoke get 10x more outrage on here than cigarettes, loud speakers, or bad dog owners? Is it actually worse, or is there just a double standard?

i refuse to let this define/stop believing in her. the woman who taught us "get well soon," who reminded us that the light is coming and that we can survive our hardest days, deserves that same grace now. she'll get through this. i truly believe she will.
Ariana Grande has heard more for her album and her physique, than Chris Brown for being an abuser, Nicki Minaj for being openly a maga, D4vd for being a murderer and Kanye West for being a n*zi
alright. let’s say ariana came onto social media tomorrow and said, “you were all correct. i do infact have an eating disorder.” then what? what exactly do people think their job is after that? she’s a global celebrity, not someone’s fucking neighbour. she has family. friends. a management team. a record label. doctors. people who ACTUALLY know her. fans are consumers. they are observers. they are not her treatment team, and acting as though it’s the internet’s responsibility to diagnose and manage the health of a woman they’ve never met and know nothing about is absolutely absurd.
people keep acting as though posting “she looks like she’s dying” or “she’s way too skinny” is some noble act of awareness, but if she were genuinely suffering from an eating disorder, there’s a very real possibility that this kind of obsessive public scrutiny would be harmful rather than helpful. recovery from an eating disorder isn’t fuelled by millions of strangers analysing your body from every conceivable angle and in MOST cases, having your appearance constantly dissected becomes part of the disorder itself, reinforcing an unhealthy fixation on weight, shape, and external validation.
so please, enlighten me, what is actually being achieved by turning “is ariana grande too skinny?” into a weekly trending topic? IF the concern is sincere (and i really truly doubt it is), saying it once is enough. after that, it stops reading as concern and starts reading as malice. there is a difference between expressing concern and endlessly consuming someone’s body as a topic of entertainment. i am so fucking sick to death of strangers on the internet who are convinced they have both the authority and the obligation to comment on a woman’s body every single day. THIS IS NOT ADVOCACY.
tonight, ariana returns to her hometown venue, amerant bank arena, where she performed the national anthem as an 8 year old child. this time, she’s taking the stage for a sold out show, with every person in the arena there to see her. ♡🥹
