omg??? my dad is a fat Black man and they called him saying since he’s fat he can get an MRI at the zoo if needed…..
let me repeat this…
THEY SEND FAT PEOPLE TO THE ZOO TO GET MRI’S BECAUSE AVERAGE MRI MACHINES ARE NOT BIG ENOUGH
fatphobia is literally dehumanizing
we need the fathers back in the homes bc why is this considered soft…is it the filter or the golden doodle puppy? maybe the aesthetic of the apartment?
these are all very normal human behaviors he’s doing.
“Black Women, in particular, are so well socialized to push ourselves past healthy limits that we often do not know how to set protective boundaries that would eliminate certain forms of stress in our lives”

Hi! I’m a grad student doing a project on race/surveillance/school discipline and could use some help. In 1970, June Jordan and Terri Bush collected poetry from 25 brown and black children living in Brooklyn. If you have any leads on the whereabouts of these people, please DM me!
