Would also be really annoying if they wore heat resistant gloves to throw back the hot tear gas canisters and if this got shared to all those protesting…

Today my psychiatrist appointment turned into a lecture about how I am going to get diabetes and a stroke. The doctor kept bringing up medications and then saying “no…that causes weight gain…”. I asked them not to factor that in because I don’t care if I gain weight, I just need my mind to be healthy. They tried to convince me that asking for weight unbiased medical care was me actually still being very self conscious about my weight even if I am saying that I am ok with it. I just had an extensive physical and am not in any way physically unhealthy, apparently that didn’t matter. They refused to give me any medication. My mental health issues have gone untreated for over a decade because this has happened over and over again. I just want to be happy.

This exact text should be taught in every medical school and in every psychiatry association. This is the kind of bullshit fat people have to deal with every fucking day of their lives. This is how people are denied the treatment that is (far too many times) life-or-death situations for them. 

THE MEDICAL SYSTEM IS KILLING US. 

Please try to ask in your local fat positive groups (if there is any)  for another psychiatrist. Because you deserve to get the treatment you need.

So much love and hugs for you dear

she’s happy that I’m back!

here's a list of fun things that the supreme court has decided in just the past week:

• affirmative action is illegal. this is what lets colleges account for race when admitting students in, and getting rid of it in california a few years ago has shown that diversity in schools takes a MAJOR hit. (also, like roe v. wade, this law had DECADES of legal precedent under its belt)
• that the dept. of education (and biden) can't go thru with that loan forgiveness plan he put out months ago. you know, the one that would forgive half or even all of some students' debt.
• the first amendment lets a web designer refuse to do gay weddings. this means anyone can legally discriminate against queer people. it's a fun time to live in america right now, isn't it?

an important note is that all of these decisions were 6-3, with the more conservative justices overruling the more liberal ones. and if you need ANOTHER reason to care about the supreme court having checks & balances, two of the conservative justices (alito & thomas) have come under scrutiny these past few years for ethics violations, but the chief justice (aka the guy in charge, roberts) has failed to follow through on his promises to make an ethics code.

and i can assure you that they think they can get away with all of this because they know they can never be held accountable for their decisions—it's a lifetime appointment, and it's tricky to get impeached.

so tl;dr: voting is important. we might not vote for these guys, but we DO vote for who appoints them & who confirms their nomination. and the only way we can ever get our rights back is by appointing people to legislative offices so they can enshrine our rights in something a little stronger.

Absolutely fuckin wild that SCOTUS delivered a blow to LGBTQ inclusive nondiscrimination laws nationwide based on that case...because one web designer went to court to have the "right" to refuse to design wedding websites for same gender couples hypothetically.

Hypothetically, because no one even tried to hire her to do that. But this is the outcome.

I hope Lorie Smith never has a day of peace ever again.

...And they just stuck down the Biden administrations student loan forgiveness program.

Fuck SCOTUS.

today the supreme court has ruled that businesses are allowed to discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community, in addition to taking steps to dismantle affirmative action. absolutely sick to my stomach right now. generations of progress gone within a day. on the last day of pride month they had to get their last fucking laugh huh?

With the landmark ruling — which falls in line with many of the SCOTUS justices' conservative stances — a precedent has now been set that in certain instances, U.S. businesses can legally deny their services to LGBTQ+ people under the First Amendment.

A final fuck you to the LGBTQ community at the end of Pride Month, courtesy of the Supreme Court.

It's Funky Fresh Friday my fellow crackers,
