The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

Fellow fats: how are you holding up in the current climate around body size/fatness/thinness?

(As always, please remember that your answers will be read by people who are fatter than you; by people with eating disorders; and by people with diabetes, heart disease & limited mobility.)

I recently bought huckleberries at the farmers market and the vendor closed our conversation with a solemn "huck it up" and I hope I never forget that moment

She was never apolitical, she just took aim at fat people, which people thought was acceptable and therefore they misinterpreted her as apolitical.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · Aug 25

Jillian Michaels has transformed from an apolitical wellness authority to an unfiltered political commentator and a defining voice of the MAHA era. She spoke to The New York Times about her transformation.

How Did Jillian Michaels End Up Here?

America’s toughest trainer was a proud Hollywood liberal. Now, she’s become a defining voice of the MAHA era.

"Fucksaw" incident
In 2011, Bailey's human sexuality class at Northwestern made the headlines of major news organizations after he allowed a female guest speaker and her male partner to perform a live mechanized sex toy demonstration using a "fucksaw"[49][50]—a modified reciprocating saw[51] converted into a sex toy by attaching a "phallic object" instead of a blade[52][53]—to bring the woman to orgasm in front of the audience.[50][51] Students were advised beforehand of the nature of the demonstration in this optional after-class event on kinky sex and female orgasm.[52][53]

All of the lessons that The Biggest Loser taught—from disordered eating to ruthless self talk—all of that came because we culturally thought it was beneficial & entertaining to abuse fat people. Anti-fat bigotry was the spoonful of sugar that helped the medicine go down. It was a feature, not a bug.
