Update from going through family photos:
Tbh this is no small part of why I struggle to trust people’s self assessment of “the person I’m meanest to is myself.” In my personal experience, many of the people who (earnestly!) believe this about themselves are also capable of extraordinary cruelty to fat people, but they don’t see it.
HARD AGREE. There’s also such a big gap in how the impacts are conceptualized: there’s a belief that 4chan/incel forums direct their toxicity outward, while pro-ana forums are seen as directing theirs inward, which ignores the massive and ruthless trolling that pro-ana folks aim at fat people.

A very close family member (not my parents) has been going through a protracted experience with stage 4 cancer. It's become clear that this week we are saying our goodbyes. If I'm unresponsive for a bit, that's why.
In the meantime: tell your people that you love them & why you love them.

Consider how few anecdotes it took for the media to declare a Free Speech on Campus crisis.
Every day we get more evidence that the Republican Party is teeming with white supremacists yet elite institutions refuse to frame this as a crisis that needs the nation’s attention.

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.
