i love how cats use their little walnut brains to go, "hm. it appears mother is moving very quickly and carrying many things. i bet it would be very helpful if i got right in front of her feet. this will make everything work more smoothly and won't lead to mother almost launching herself down the stairs to avoid kicking me. i am so good at plans."

i think that if you were to make a goncharov movie it couldn't just be goncharov. nothing can truly be goncharov. my ideal goncharov movie is a mockumentary about the comically troubled production of a failed 2020s goncharov remake, touching on themes of nostalgia and the way we remember (and misremember) and retell stories

Martin Scorsese plays himself, and also the new director (in a funny hat and comically fake mustache).

The group this was posted in has been advertised to me several times on FB, and I think it's important to know where it's from- the group is called Dull Men's Club (gender neutral though, their rules explain the name was kept from the I think 80s when they started and had separate groups but anyone that believes in and agrees to abide by their rules can join).

The group's major conceit is only this: finding joy in ordinary (see: dull) things.

And they often do

I would not be surprised if someone did a study and found an increase in misdiagnosis of fat patients due to doctors focusing solely on weight loss as a panacea and ignoring other vital issues

You mean like this article from the NY Times (from September of 2016) talking about how doctors refuse to consider non weight related issues until they absolutely have to?

Or this study showing that even though the bias is often unintentional it greatly changes patient care?

Or this study that showed that maternity providers have a bias towards obese women and often provide subpar care or push elective procedures?

Fat Shaming Tied to Increased Risk of Metabolic Problems this one that says that obese people who are made to feel bad about their weight are 41% more likely to have medical complications as a result of the internalized stress (high cholesterol, high sugars, high blood pressure- or need meds to treat those conditions), versus people who don’t feel stigmatized. 

‘People First’ – Ending Weight Bias in Diabetes Care “ Evidence also indicates that doctors may spend less time in appointments, provide less health education, build less rapport, have lower expectations for medication adherence, and have less desire to help patients with obesity compared with thinner patients. “

I think about this every time I see something saying that obesity is a high risk factor for any other illness.
