I Think That It's Really Important For People To Realize That Being Disabled Is Traumatic. Genuinely.

ok so you acknowledge that fatness isn’t inherently unhealthy. health at every size, fat athletes exist, etc etc.

but are you normal about fat people who ARE unhealthy? do you still respect us? do you still advocate for our access to healthcare? do you still see us as valuable?

are you normal about people whose fatness is due to disability?

are you normal about people whose fatness is just due to lifestyle—those of us whose fatness is, actually, “Our Own Fault”?

it seems to me that “you can be healthy at any weight” is kind of like “curb cuts also benefit moms with strollers”—it’s true, and worth pointing out, but it’s stopping short of actually advocating for the people whom the conversation is actually ABOUT.

curb cuts ARE useful for many kinds of people, but they’re NEEDED for wheelchair and mobility aid users. you CAN be fat and healthy, but that’s not WHY you should treat fat people with respect. fatphobia/misia is bad because we’re human fucking beings with the same rights and needs as thin people, not because some of us meet an arbitrary benchmark of “healthy”.

consider your attitudes toward ALL fat people, not just the “good”/palatable/healthy ones. it’s natural to have these kinds of unconscious biases, but that’s exactly why it’s so important to examine and rethink them.

oh my god, a tumblr-raised canadian trans masc who's obsessed with @bbnotumbl ??? astonishing, never before seen.

i literally love when people realize positive reinforcement works like yes its so silly isnt it. but it literally works humans love juice reward too

also while I'm talking about Walt - it is CRAZY how the narrative is intentionally set up to reveal that all the things Walt tells himself he is (a selfless provider, a hard working family man, someone who is incredibly competent at the work they do, a mastermind pulling the strings behind the scenes, etc) are all things that SKYLER ACTUALLY IS LOL. Like it's Skyler who goes back to work and immediately starts keeping the family afloat! It's Skyler who goes to incredible lengths to protect her children even when no one really understands why she's behaving that way. Skyler who humiliates herself time and time again just to keep secrets that aren't even hers from her innocent kids. Skyler who gets the car wash on their terms. Skyler who explains away Walt's secrecy to Marie with the gambling story all while Walt flounders and acts like a fool. Skyler White is such a fucking it girl to me honestly, a beautiful strong smart woman who genuinely loves her kids enough to let them keep a clean image of their father for as long as she can possibly hold onto it. I still think of her every single day lol
