If Mexico wins the World Cup the hand out tacos. If Germany wins the World club they hand out beer. If Sweden wins the World Cup they hand out meatballs. I decided I will be rooting for Columbia
Brother @joshhart.... As for ME and MY house, we serve the Lord!
So I understand your joy behind your tweet below.
But not everyone who cries "LORD, LORD" actually love Christ. Sometimes they just love POWER.
For Christian Nationalists in this nation, they love the power they get through God.
And this law in Texas is not only a violation of the Constitution, but violates God in that God does not desire that we force RELIGION on the masses.
That's not Faith. That's Fascism.
And fascism has to be stopped, in Jesus name!

It is so, so fascinating to me how GLP-1s are colliding with something that, for lack of a better term, I'll call 'fat identity'.
It's one thing to argue that fat people shouldn't be discriminated against. But a lot of fat people seem to have constructed an entire identity out of being fat. They took the moralizing lectures they faced from others and turned it around into moralizing about bigotry, with a new label of fatphobia. It's treated similarly to gender or race bigotry. And while there are surely a lot of people being jerks to the obese, a lot of fatphobia sure looks like "my doctor told me I should lose weight" from the outside.
People seem to have forgotten that while nobody should be a jerk to fat people for no reason, being fat is in fact a medical issue. It is, in an objective sense, a problem to be fixed.
Now we have a drug that (erasing some nuance) just solves the problem. And there are instances of fat-identity influencers basically shamed by their communities/fans for losing weight. People lose the weight but still somehow cling to the idea that parts of the process were fatphobic. It feels like watching identity deconstruction in real time.
It makes me wonder - are there similar cultural recriminations for deaf people who get cochlear implants? If we developed a pill to cure blindness, would some blind people still cling to blind identity, or call a doctor bigoted for suggesting the pill?
