I met Seth Everman at a con of some kind, and he came up to me and asked me if I was cosplaying as him bc I was wearing his iconic sweater and sunglasses. I said no and pulled out a furless cat out of my bag that was wearing a tiny Seth Everman hoodie and mini sunglasses, then said, “THIS is Seth Everman.” I put the cat down in front of him and gave it a tiny piano and it started playing it really well and Seth looked so impressed that I started crying.
Hi, friends. My family could really use your help right now.
We need to raise£1360for an upcoming consultation with an immigration lawyer, one of the best in the country who is especially qualified to handle our unique and tricky case. This is one fee of many we will have to pay in the upcoming months, and anything you contribute helps insure our family remains together. I don’t want to be deported and separated from my partner; and I don’t want our three-year-old to be separated from their other mother. I am Black and extremely vulnerable because of disability, and my partner is a Jewish trans woman with debilitating chronic illness. We need your help to stay together, to survive.
You can donate to ourPayPalhere. Please spread if you can. All my gratitude. Thank you.
the UK works as hard as it can to kill or ruin the lives of disabled folks. please help my friends keep their family together!
once on halloween in high school i decided that i would give myself a treat and “forget” my gym uniform and therefore lose participation credit for the day because you cant participate without the uniform. and the teacher was like, “if you’re in costume you don’t lose credit today because halloween,” and was listing off students who were visibly in costume who would get basically free credit, and she said my name much to my surprise and i realized that. she had never seen me in my regular clothes more than once or twice a couple months previously. she thought i was in costume. she had no idea i was just super fuckin goth.

TO MOVE TO ARGENTINA SAY A MEMBER OF ZONA LA PLATA SENT YOU THIS INFO TO BECOME A REFUGEE
Heey, this is sweet, but you don’t need to become a refugee to live legally in Argentina if you’re Brazilian! It’s the easiest country to move to for Brazilians and the whole process to obtain a DNI (the Argentinian national identity) takes 90 days and you get a 2 year visa, which you can later turn into a permanent residency visa without much trouble. It’s very affordable, we don’t even need to translate the documents thanks to a bilateral agreement and you don’t have to prove you have a job lined up for you or anything. Unless Brazil leaves the Mercosur, there’s no need to go so far as to ask for refuge if you choose Argentina as your destination.
thank you so much for your addition! reblog this please
if you plan to do this, id suggest you do it as quickly as possible, because its been said bolsonaro wants to leave mercosur
So, you may have seen the below- some of the text is chopped off- it also includes language about fat “strangling” organs (pretty sure, not a thing).
Where does this photo of a heart come from? It’s from a slide show about heart transplants, photo number 9.
The photo’s original text is below.
This is a healthy heart, being transplanted INTO a person who needs a heart transplant.
It is NOT a heart taken out of a dead fat person who died of Fat Heart, which is not a thing.
Fat haters lie. They do it all the time.
Never forget that.
This is the stupidest thing I’ve read in a long time.
Sure, “fat heart” isnt a thing but being obese does cause heart problems as the heart has to grow in order to pump more blood around the body which causes it to strain and struggle just for doing its job.
This is a real picture of a normal heart next to the heart of an obese person’s.
Why do people constantly want to encourage being obese despite the many health risks it carries?
Fat haters lie.
“Martti Tenhu, chief medical examiner in Helsinki, Finland, illustrates the differences between a normal human heart and one enlarged by alcoholism and high blood pressure. Covered in scar tissue, the enlarged organ is nearly twice the normal size. Such alcoholic cardiomyopathy weakens the heart so that it is unable to pump blood adequately.”
“Alcoholic cardiomyopathy is a disease in which the chronic long-term abuse of alcohol… leads to heart failure.”
The original photo is from the National Geographic and does not mention the size of the person who had the enlarged heart.
Fat haters lie.
For a group of people who yell about science all the time, they sure do love clipping off the actual text included with the original photos and replacing it with dishonest garbage.
If you take the time to double check their sources, this is basically how it always goes.
They will say anything to advance their bigotry. Don’t listen to them.
It’s ok to be fat!
Fatty Liver disease though really can be caused by being overweight.
Did you just pick a disease with the word “fat” in it? B/c that’s what it looks like you did.
According to Wikipedia, this is another disease that is caused by alcoholism among other things.
And according to this article by the NIH, hepatic steatosis is a disease that thin people get too.
So once again, we see that fat haters are liars.
Additionally- just randomly picking out a disease that has the word fat in the title does not in any way refute the fact that your buddies are liars.
That they remove the true text from photos and lie about what those photos actually show.
I love how THREE PEOPLE IN A ROW tried to lie or just picked something random to support their fatphobia.
i’m about to die of Fat Heart
Try to defend yourself against any of these I fucking dare you my grandma has diabetes high blood pressure and sleep apnea, ya know what else my grandma is? overweight. None of these diseases run in the family and she didn’t have them in high school when she wasn’t overweight. So try me try to say I’m lying about this shit I dare you
It’s not fat phobia it’s the truth of your disgusting life choices
There’s a lot to pick apart here:
1. You posted a totally unsourced, seemingly random image as your main arguing point. Cherrypicking much? Are fat people simply more likely to have them or are they DYING EN MASS because of this shit? Becaause there’s a big difference between “more likely” and “a self-inflicted disease that kills everyone.”
2. In what way does this disprove the point of the op-that the anti-fat meme was a lie and most of the responses were as well?
3. Not only is the grandma story entirely anecdotal, but you base it entirely on the idea that she magically gained all of these diseases because she became fat. You can’t even say like, the doctor said that, you just assume that correlation exists. And yeah, umm…most people tend to not have the same diseases when they’re in highschool as when they’re old LMAO.
4. Even if you were entirely right about all of hat-did you seriously just mock your own grandmother about her illnesses for the sake of an arguing point?
It always makes me sad when I see people talking like this about their own loved ones, like– how do you think your fat family and friends would feel if they knew you were being cruel about their size to “win” an argument with internet strangers?
Fat people are so dehumanized that this is how the people who supposedly love us, talk about us.
This happens all the time, and it’s really really sad.
How to lose an argument: pull a random picture off Google Image Search and use it against a person who has literally just demonstrated the ability to use Reverse Image Search.
This made me laugh. 😀
Hi, actual doctor here (well, eye doctor, but I treat diabetics regularly and did an entire report on obesity and diabetes to get my doctorate so I sort of know what I’m talking about maybe more than most of you), reminding you that correlation does not imply causation and we know that weight/obesity CORRELATE to hypertension, diabetes, and other diseases but there is no proof of cause. For every peer-reviewed study that says one causes the other, another says it doesn’t. I know because I’ve looked. I’d also like to remind people that, except in men over 55yo with known heart disease/heart risk factors, lowering cholesterol with statin medication does not lower all-cause mortality even though it lowers cholesterol numbers. Why do I bring this up? Because doctors will still put anyone on statin meds even if they don’t benefit from them statistically life-wise because the labs get better because the labs are more easily measurable and make us feel useful and make patients feel like they’re getting better care and doctors are taught in school this is the right thing to do. And doctors are taught the same thing about weight. Diabetic? High blood pressure? Anything wrong at all with the person in any way? Are they overweight? Make them lose weight! Might not help but it won’t hurt right? At least it’s a measurable thing that we know *correlates* to health outcomes and we can control it easier than we can control those other outcomes so let’s control it! It’s like pressing the “easy” button from Staples instead of doing real work! Never mind that “obese” is a useless classification based on outdated BMI equations that don’t take muscle mass, body shape, activity level, or other health factors into account. Nevermind that, despite that BMI is a useless measure, people who fall into “overweight” BMI tend to be healthier and live longer than those in the “normal” or “underweight” BMI categories. Nevermind that socioeconomic factors also correlate with both obesity and diabetes/hypertension/high cholesterol/stroke risk/increased all cause mortality and yet no one says “hey, I know you’re stressed and living paycheck to paycheck…maybe to help with your high blood pressure you should see a financial counselor at the local community center for some help” or “I know McDonald’s has a dollar menu and is quick and easy, but your blood sugar levels would be better if we could find you some healthier alternatives. Are there any local community gardens in your neighborhood?” We just want an easy solution to a problem and we all want someone to blame, so we all say “you made yourselves sick by making yourselves fat” and ignore the other 1000 things going on in this equation, including, again, the most basic tenant that correlation does not imply causation – and it’s no wonder that obesity and poor health correlate when you consider socioeconomic and stress risk factors.
What all of that wall of text is saying is: y’all literally have no idea what you’re talking about, you’ve clearly never done any more research than typing your biased searches into Google and getting your bias-confirmating answers back, and since doctors are also taught a lot of this bias you probably aren’t going to find better info unless you know how to read a peer-reviewed journal. And since, as it was already pointed out, y’all can’t figure out not to lie to someone who was clearly on a “I’m not buying your lying bullshit” streak already, I don’t think y’all can figure out peer reviewed science articles either.
This is honestly the funniest shit I have ever seen in my life
Can you imagine being the prosecutor who gets these screenshots and has to spend a full minute of their life trying to remember if their state even has criminal adultery charges because the feds ruled against their constitutionality in the fucking 60s, and then deleting the email regardless because no one is putting their fucking career on the line to fight the supreme court ruling of a no-victims “technially a crime” that hasn’t even been tried in a decade or five?
Cool receipt for how fucking much people hate polyamory tho
In holland when someone doesn’t close the door behind their backs we say ‘Ben je in de kerk geboren?’ which literally translates to ‘Have you been born in church?’ @useless-netherlandsfacts
In the United States we say, “Were you raised in a barn?” It’s supposed to imply that the person was raised without any manners. But as people who frequently use barns have told me, you would never leave the barn door open because then the animals could get out.
In Italy when someone walks in a room and doesn’t close the door we say “abiti al Colosseo?” (and other variants), which translates to “do you live at the Colosseum?” because the Colosseum hasn’t got doors
In Bulgaria we say ‘Da ne jiveesh v peshtera?’ and it translates as ‘Do you live in a cave?’ and it both implies you were raised mannerless like in the stone ages and that you don’t use use doors b/c caves don’t have any
In my house we say, “What the fuck, dude?” because I live alone and when a door is opened by someone who isn’t me, it’s usually my cat slamming his face into it at maximum velocity before disappearing into the next room.
People helping people. That’s all this world should be about cuz all we got is each other. Love seeing this kindness from big companies. Needs to happen more often in corporate America.
Okay but what company is that? We should support businesses doing good things
