had a run-in with the potato peeler this week and ended up at urgent care.

can someone give me the evidence-based rationale for not only weighing me when i came in for a fingernail avulsion but then PUTTING MY WEIGHT AND BMI ON THE AFTERCARE PACKET??

think of patients with EDs

[Aubrey Hoffer, PhD @hoff_phd]

@potato_heiress true!!! not my problem bestie

[Aubrey Hoffer, PhD @hoff_phd]

@CheriLev @IrinaVanzhula sadly true

[Aubrey Hoffer, PhD @hoff_phd]

@potato_heiress good on you for sticking to it!! i didnt even think to put up a fight because i was literally holding my bloody finger. innever imagined theyd put it on my aftercare booklet

[Aubrey Hoffer, PhD @hoff_phd]

@IrinaVanzhula @CheriLev maybe my new hobby should be finding out who to yell at about this. it’s so negligent and genuinely harmful!!!

@TahoeBoulder and ill totally concede times when it could be medically important to obtain weight (tho in my case i thankfully didnt need an antibiotic) - but on the packet??? ridiculous. and it’s regional bc i have never had this info given to me like this in az

Academic ironies

It’s wild how people think it’s not fatphobia to judge bodies based on their shape instead of their size. Like because you can be bigger and still attractive to them as long as you have a small waist, they’re totally body positive!

@hahnsamantha18 @phaedrajayne so excited for this! what an important topic

[James Downs @jamesldowns]

I think one of the key questions in mental health is whether services assess patients on the basis of their clinical needs, or on the basis of what the services can offer them. These are really not the same thing. I’ve only experienced the latter, and the absence of the former.

[Lakyn Thee Stylist @OgLakyn]

We should not accept struggle and exploitation as an inevitability. We should not treat poverty and going without as the default and everything above as wealth. Having your needs met is not a *privilege*. Living a baseline comfortable life is not a luxury just because many don’t.

Stop acting like their appearance is the issue, they’re just going to start going to the gym and think that makes them entitled to sex even though they’re still assholes
