I really need y'all to unpack your antiblackness when it comes to who deserves to be supported and uplifted. Y'all are simply not talking about/sharing resources around Sudan, Congo, Haiti, etc, and I need y'all to wake that shit up. QUICKLY.
As a person who has done A LOT of work with fatphobia, I am very familiar with having to navigate these spaces, but even I am not immune to being exhausted, tired, triggered, traumatized and disappointed.

Also, people tend to forget that children are absolutely a marginalized group because they need to be protected and also are often seen as people who do not deserve consent because adults are responsible for them. It's gross how they are treated.
As a response to all of this, thank you for your support. Just a couple clarifying points. We know what the issue is, I just have yet to get an actual treatment plan for it. Secondly, that doctor is a white woman. 1/2
Thirdly, Iโm looking for another gyn so that I can treat the fibroid that is enlarging my uterus to the point where it is causing pain and heaviness and discomfort. Fourthly, she changed her tune once I asked her to write an accommodation for NYU. Smfh

This process with my health is very frustrating because itโs easily treatable, but I have yet to see that care and it is truly doing a number on my mental and physical health. Iโm literally missing out on joy and financial opportunities because of this shit. Itโs not fun.
Letโs not even get into how much money Iโve been billed in the last two weeks over bullshit and how there are other doctors that have harmed me in this process. Being black, fat and non binary is so difficult when it comes to health. There is no care, treatment or support.
These doctors spend all this time in school just to torture, gaslight and manipulate us and itโs fucking sick. Niggas are literally fucking dying because a doctor would rather put whiteness before doing their job.

Baby I scream when they wear them to the club because they be having on such a fire ass outfit with an expensive but dry ass bag ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ
A reminder that Janelle doesnโt identify as a woman so make sure you address them and their non-binary identity in your takes, as that is who they are and also another added layer to this conversation
@DrSamiSchalk
And they literally see that my blood work is impeccable and still chose to say this. Actually, fuck bloodwork, regardless of what I have treat me for whatโs actually wrong with me. The weight isnโt the issue. Iโm literally in pain because of this fucking fibroid. Do your job
I love yโall so much, but when fat, Black folks talk about their mistreatment, you donโt need to remind us how much weโre beautiful or how much we deserve everything. We absolutely know our worth. Hold the people of privilege accountable because theyโre the ones who question it.

I'm going to say this. I don't feel solidarity with non-black fat folks. They truly regurgitate a lot of the things fat, Black folks have been saying for the longest, and they much rather talk about "body positivity" than uplifting the very Black fat people that they copy.
If yall could please help me find grants, fellowships, incubators, investors, sponsors, publishing programs for writers to create sustainability I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
Due to the reception of this post, itโs very clear that we need more fat sims content, so imma start streaming sims again and posting more of the sims that I make and play with because most of my sims are, indeed, fat
Iโm going to put myself out there for modeling/talent opportunities. Manifesting being represented by an inclusive and safe agency with appearances on commercials, billboards and runways.
It literally is because desirability isnโt just who you want to fuck/date/attract itโs also a determining factor in who is socially acceptable enough to be protected, taken seriously and receive the full breadth of their humanity
Black cis people be some of the most willing agents of upholding white supremacy that Iโve ever seen. Yโall donโt let queer, trans and gender expansive people rest. Yโall donโt let fat people rest. Yโall donโt let dark skinned non-men rest. Yโall are vile.
I love teaching and developing a college course but the blatant antiblackness that I have to deal with from both students and the institution is really making me reconsider. I donโt like working in an environment where I feel unsafe and violated.
I graduated with my masterโs in 2020 but couldnโt walk due to Covid. At the time I had no stable job, was scared of the future and my mental health was challenging. Now in 2022, I get to not only walk but reflect on all my success & gains. Please take time to celebrate your wins!
I would love to see yโall ride for Black non-men in anime/video game/fandom spaces in the same way that yโall hype up those with more privilege. Iโm gonna make a thread here of people to follow and add as I go:
PLEASE STOP SAYING YOU'RE STD CLEAN
We REALLY need to move to destigmatize sex and find better, more sex-neutral ways to discuss sexual health.
Instead, try saying "I was tested on [insert date] and received [negative/positive] results for [insert STIs/STDs]. What about you?"

about traveling as a fat person, dismantling fatphobia and desirability politics, etc. Check out the episode from the links in the thread!
Yโall know I had to put the convo on thee clock app. Sustainable fashion without size inclusivity and taking into account socio economic status is NOT sustainable. Itโs recycled capitalism. Happy Earth Day, heaux!
@autieshawtie
Thank you for saying this. As a person who has had and does experience suicidal ideations, a lot of it is triggered by ongoing needs being unmet. A lot of people donโt take me seriously because of my identities and the fact that Iโm matter of fact about shit
