If I could snap my fingers and change one thing, I usually have no ideas because [[so much]] needs to change. But right now, I know.
I would make COVID-19 apolitical.
People are dying. So many.
Disproportionately those who are minoritized.
How is this an argument?
I’m a *decade* into significant TMJ problems.
At my very first PT session for it today I learned that insurance will only cover 3 sessions. Cool. Great. Fab.
Checked the profile of someone who ghosted/ super hurt me, then immediately started experiencing vertigo. I'll take that sign and log off for the night.
On ep 265 of @dearhankandjohn, @johngreen got us all (me, my husband, & @hankgreen) with his kazoo full of lies.
To which I chuckled and @Bryan_Cmpbll yelled “FAKE NEWS. THIS PODCAST IS OFFICIALLY FAKE NEWS.”
I’m not afraid of #COVID19 but I do fear it in the same way I fear God; which means I respect it, I don’t test it, I don’t deny it, I don’t downplay it, I wear a mask when I go out, I rarely eat out, I avoid large gatherings and I do what the experts tell me to do with humility.
My 30th birthday is in a couple weeks. Pre-covid, we had wonderfully grand plans to have a ‘thrift store prom’ party.
But now I’m kind of ‘meh, whatever’ about the whole lap-around-the-sun thing.
I dreamt that I was on a reality show with contestants who all used to work at @campwareagle living in cabins in the woods and doing extreme sports like biking down a snow-covered ski hill.

Think it’s ok to worship at the alter of thinness? It’s not. It’s violence.

Disturbingly, my alma mater (and the SEC) decided football season is happening. During a global crisis.
I'm LOUDLY anti-football, but devastating losses due to inevitable #COVID19 outbreaks are not how I envisioned its demise.
Get it together, @RazorbackFB and @UArkansas.
Why does it seem more difficult for folx—especially women/femme—to combat internalized fatphobia than for them to confront and mitigate internalized racism?
Or am I alone in that notion?
