I don't complain about it often but man, anxiety is so hard sometimes because it's like, I know that I'm not reacting appropriately to a situation, I know in the back of my mind that whatever I'm saying or doing because I'm nervous or scared is something that I don't need to say or do, it's something that's usually based on a generally outrageous feeling that I should overlook entirely. But I get stuck in this really bad place sometimes where I can't shake the feeling that I've done something wrong someway somehow and feeling guilty for everything that goes wrong, feeling guilty for things that could go wrong but haven't yet- Jesus Christ, it's no wonder I smoke so many cigarettes. Am I being too loud? Sorry

Poverty and oppression make people fatter

A common fat-phobic belief is that fat people are fat because they overeat. A recent submission to @facebooksexism​ perfectly illustrates this stereotype and the harmful classist attitudes it perpetuates: 

Like most fat-phobic beliefs, this stereotype is completely wrong.

It is well accepted in public health science that food insecurity – which is the lack of consistent, dependable access to enough food for active, healthy living – predicts higher body weight

  • Limited resources and lack of access to nutritious, affordable foods. Heavily processed, low-nutrition foods are usually cheaper, but are more calorie dense and less satisfying to eat.  
  • Cycles of food deprivation and overeating. Low income people often run out of money for necessities like food before their next paycheck arrives, resulting in extended periods of hunger and starvation followed by periods of compensatory eating when the paycheck arrives. Such eating patterns cause weight gain over time.
  • High levels of stress, anxiety, & depression, all of which cause physiological changes resulting in weight gain over time.
  • Limited access to health care. Many chronic health conditions, like polycystic ovarian syndrome, thyroid dysfunction, and type II diabetes, cause weight gain when left untreated. 

All of this means that systematic oppression causes people to be fat for reasons that are outside of their personal control, and that poor fat people are not lying when they report that they cannot afford to put food on the table. Stop spreading the harmful, oppressive, and fat-phobic belief that you can judge a person’s nutrition or eating habits by the size of their body.

If you want to see how this translates, watch “a place at the table” it’s a documentary all about food insecurity and it touches on why a lot of Americans who suffer from this are over weight

Thanks for the great movie recommendation: A Place at the Table.

About The Film

50 Million Americans—1 in 4 children—don’t know where their next meal is coming from. A Place at the Table tells the powerful stories of three such Americans, who maintain their dignity even as they struggle just to eat. In a riveting journey that will change forever how you think about the hungry, A Place at the Table shows how the issue could be solved forever, once the American public decides—as they have in the past—that ending hunger is in the best interests of us all.

You can watch it on Netflix in Canada.

Man found stabbed inside his burning home in Fresno last week is confirmed to be John Lang, a police accountability activist who predicted the Fresno Police would kill him just days prior to his death

The man who was found stabbed inside a burning home in Fresno last week is confirmed to be John Lang, a frequent poster in the Fresno People’s Media group on Facebook and acquaintance to many in the Fresno activist community.

John seemingly predicted his own murder and says Fresno law enforcement is responsible.

Days before his death, he was adamant that Fresno law enforcement would conclude their 7-year-long campaign against him by ending his life.

This makes me sick I can’t imagine the fear this poor man went through all because he decided to speak about what was going. Of course it would be foolish to claim that the police was responsible for the death of this man until the investigation is over. However, the facts indicate just that version. I believe that this base would be sufficient to find the culprits. In fact, this situation disturbs me greatly. Maybe the cops decided to use tactics of intimidation against activists, to continue to act the way they used to.

After claiming to have watched Felix Baumgartner’s famous Red Bull Stratos jump from the edge of space, recording artist B.o.B is furiously tweeting everything science says about the Earth being round is a total lie. Why is he doing this? We have an idea.

Update: Neil deGrasse Tyson has joined the fray to lay the scientific smackdown on B.o.B.

Tyson sent the rapper multiple tweets disproving him and then things got personal.

Update: This feud is getting weirder and weirder. B.o.B released a new track “Flatline” on Monday, that takes a few shots at Neil deGrasse Tyson. “Aye, Neil Tyson need to loosen up his vest,” the rapper spits. “They’ll probably write that man one hell of a check.”

And then Tyson fired back with a diss track of his own. Really.

The astrophysicist enlisted the help of his nephew Stephen J. Tyson, who is apparently a rapper. Tyson delivers the facts at B.o.B. over a Drake beat.

What a time to be alive

😭 B.O.B. more like R.I.P.

I can’t friggin’ believe this lmao.
