Tonight will be the actual last stand of the Blue Krakens. Two Christmases ago I purchased the Blue Kraken shirts for our entire group since that was the name of our adventuring/merchant group. My youngest child drew that picture of my character, Zelpha the Sun Elf Wizard turned Goddess. And I'm rocking my Sailor Mars socks for some extra fire power this evening. I'm sad, but it's been a good three year run.

body made a place of worship
except no one comes to
pray anymore. the distance
is too far to travel, the flesh
miles long, and what would
it take to climb the mountain
to feel windswept cheeks?

Annelid
Earthy pink Oligochaetes
Wormies slink along with
Undulating peristaltic locomotion
Chitinous setae cling
To thine earthy burrow
Sucking soil and food stuff in
Excreting the best humus
The best composter
More cute worms
Less hazardous chemicals
Makes for a happier planet
Nitrogen enriched soil
From wormy waste
Equals healthy plants
Soil aeration
Casts positively
Alter soil structure
More microvilli
Less Machiavelli
Better for the
general well-being
Encountering a worm friend
On the sidewalk
Please put them
In the ground again!

Me pulling into my driveway and seeing the neighbors on the porch: 'please don't be an awkward weirdo. please at least pretend to be semi-normal.' I manage to wave, say "hello," and not awkwardly babble or do anything weird. Then I get in the house and notice my fly was unzipped. 🤦🏾♀️

The perimenopausal urge to sequester yourself away from everyone so you stop feeling so fucking combative and angry.

"For 60 years, doctors and researchers have known two things that could have improved, or even saved, millions of lives. The first is that diets do not work. Not just paleo or Atkins or Weight Watchers or Goop, but all diets. Since 1959, research has shown that 95 to 98 percent of attempts to lose weight fail and that two-thirds of dieters gain back more than they lost. The reasons are biological and irreversible. As early as 1969, research showed that losing just 3 percent of your body weight resulted in a 17 percent slowdown in your metabolism—a body-wide starvation response that blasts you with hunger hormones and drops your internal temperature until you rise back to your highest weight. Keeping weight off means fighting your body’s energy-regulation system and battling hunger all day, every day, for the rest of your life.
The second big lesson the medical establishment has learned and rejected over and over again is that weight and health are not perfect synonyms. Yes, nearly every population-level study finds that fat people have worse cardiovascular health than thin people. But individuals are not averages: Studies have found that anywhere from one-third to three-quarters of people classified as obese are metabolically healthy. They show no signs of elevated blood pressure, insulin resistance or high cholesterol. Meanwhile, about a quarter of non-overweight people are what epidemiologists call “the lean unhealthy.” A 2016 study that followed participants for an average of 19 years found that unfit skinny people were twice as likely to get diabetes as fit fat people."
A surprising article to find on the Huffington post. I think, especially towards the end, there's still a saturation of healthism and diet talk (just of the "clean eating" variety), but the information about weight discrimination is absolutely on point, especially within the medical field ignoring decades of research.
Not only do we know that weight loss isn't sustainable or possible, we also know that weight discrimination kills, in a myriad of ways. If you actually care about "health" then start unlearning your weight bias NOW and realize that fat people are just people who are a different shape.
And this article doesn't even touch on "the obesity paradox"(the fact that fat people survive heart attacks and injuries BETTER THAN thin people) or the fact that dieting, especially "yo-yo dieting," is a better predictor for heart disease than weight, and that many of the fat people who have cardiovascular diseases have a long history of dieting that (understandably) didn't work.
encouraged to rb but fatphobes will just be blocked.
