Ugh, I'm at the airport. Can someone deal with this person I don't know and who wandered over here to lecture me about why the feelings of a creator of a fat-hating show are more important than the lives of fat people? Because I'm done with this bullshit.
Like,so done with people demanding I repeat what I already said in depth over and over. It ain't changing. I don't care if everyone working behind the scenes is fat. The show is still harmful.
And yes, I did QT someone and invite people into their mentions. I don't care because I'm done being told I'm not allowed to call out shit that directly affects me while someone I don't know demands I clarify points I already made.

This is a good thread. I have similar feelings when I see some of the stuff about billionaire romance that goes around, declaring it dead or shallow or inappropriate for our current political climate.
I totally get not wanting to read rich, white, alphole billionaire heroes. But I have a real issue with the idea that poor and working-class women aren't supposed to fantasize about having a lot of money because *ideological purity*.
We see a lot of people in various privileged positions declaring a trope dead while not thinking past their own experiences on the subject. A black author or reader wants a book about black billionaires in a genre dominated by whiteness? There has to be room.

Yesterday, I saw the best clarification tweet I've ever seen, in which someone said basically, "I'm not trying to build up Person A by tearing down Person B. They're both assholes but Person A is just slightly less of an asshole," and I have been thinking about it ALL NIGHT.
I feel like we sometimes think that if we criticize an author or other creative's behavior in a situation, people assume we're picking a side or declaring undying loyalty.
I've publically criticized authors whose work I like. I've publically defended people I'd love to see get hit by cars. Sometimes, it's the context of the situation and not the people involved that someone is commenting on.

So, I just started watching this show called The Good Witch. And I'm only four episodes in and it's basically your standard Hallmark type thing...but with really interesting Witch representation? How did I find this?
It just struck me that there is rarely a show that's like, super wholesome and positive about characters who are Pagan/Wiccan/Witches, etc. I'm so enjoying it.
The cast could use fewer white people. Like, I'm white and I'm having a hard time keeping all the white people straight, that's how many white people there are.

In my life I have loved a lot of people who turned out to eventually hurt someone. A lot of times I’ve been that someone. I loved the person that raped me. The betrayal was stunning. Over the years a lot of men I know have done things I can’t reconcile with my love.
I have been hit by men I loved. Stalked by men I loved. Consoled the girlfriends of men I loved. Stood in disbelief of men I loved. Interrogated men I loved.
Sometimes it’s a shock, a sudden realisation. Sometimes the picture comes into focus like a magic eye photo.

I am really unhappy with the way a section of the society conducted itself, including verified accounts during #keralafloods. This is a time of introspection or bonding, not blind hate. I beg everyone not to consider any of these persons seriously over any topic down the line.
Let me post a few of these. No country can survive with such a level of hate. It's up to you to decide whether you want to build the country or widen the fault lines. And remember, with power comes responsibility.
Comparing cross-govt interactions with a calamity. @DeShobhaa, what are you implying by this?

Here we have the beginning of the #show!
Kinda hot, but the first cloud loomed (pretty!)
We set up behind the #drums in the back 😊

For those who've never been to #DenverBotanicalGardens , imagine the #stage at the center bottom of an inverse pyramid.
Melissa Etheridge coming down the side ramp toward the stage!

This photo is bleached out cuz of the intense sun beating down on us (before the rest of the clouds would sweep across the sky)
Unsure which songs these are from.
The #lineup #featured #songs from #YourLittleSecret and back.
A fun #memory lane trip for my veteran show going friends, and a good #show for my newbie friends to walk into 😊

Lol imagine putting out a trailer with a fat suit and then having the gall to tell fat people who complain that they have to watch your trash, thus giving it views and convincing Netflix to make more of it, before they're allowed to object.
I'm actually not surprised that all these thin fucking Hollywood dingbats keep talking over fat people to defend their fat hating show. They're profiting off it.
It cracks me up that we can be like "fat suits are bad" and thin people then contort themselves into pretzels to excuse their use of fat suits like they're super different
