    You can be fat without eating too much and it is okay to be fat.

    For some people being fat is like being red-haired, just genetics and for others it might be caused by illness. In all cases, fat people still deserve respect.

    I say this because stupid myths about and prejudice against fat people cause a lot of harm and even death.









  • I like to collect mugs - nothing better than drinking your morning coffee from a crazy mug :))

    I collect mugs with my boyfriend (and the rest of my collective) and it is such a nice hobby. I can almost always guess who brought the mug into the house, based on people’s interest.

    Yesterday I drank coffe from a Friday the 13th Mug and I know one of my collectivists loves that series :))

    the only issue, as with all collections, it takes up so much room in the kitchen 🥲

    I’ve worked in shipping for a couple months and I can only say this: People should order way less stuff online or make sure they are using an ethical shipping company (if they even exist).

    the industry prays on young people (often minorities) who have trouble getting other jobs. they almost exclusively hire people with short term contracts (because your body can’t take the work for more than a few months). I’ve been part of a union for a long time and I know a lot about work safety. These companies teach people nothing and they can only meet their deadlines if people actively break their backs twisting around, doing unsafe lifts and generally working to fast.

    I get that shipping is sometimes necessary, but it can only be as fast and cheap as it is, because poor people pay with their bodies.
