salutations, comrade! if you're presently subscribed at only a donation tier, think about subscribing at $5+. your support goes directly to sustaining my livelihood, & i'm also on strike from working on more ANTIHEROINE. posts, until i get more paying subscribers in general.
thank you so much 💓 [pink heartbeat]
i will be publishing fewer public posts, & publishing more private posts to $5+ subscribers, in the meantime. 💙 [blue heart]
i know that many of us {but let's be honest: not all of us!} are suffering harshly under white supremacy+capitalism. my intent is not to paywall important work, but to first be able to live a joyful life where i have love*, joy, rest, relaxation, leisure, healthcare, food, & housing. i am a formerly homeless human being experiencing constant severe bodymind pain, & i can't even pay my own rent right now. once i have more resources, i will of course be able to do more.

* fyi, when i say love / relationships, i ALWAYS mean ALL/ANY "kinds" of love / relationships. including friendships. non-romantic. familial {whatever that means to you}. butterflies. birds. cats. etc.

my apologies for not writing a content note for last week's Monday Motivation. i wasn't thinking. i know that body image can be a sensitive subject for many.
today's post is also about body image, & it might feel heavy to engage with. i encourage you to take care of yourself, i encourage you to not read it at all if you don't feel like it, & i encourage you to take breaks if you feel like you need to.

content —
heavy questioning against body image negativity.
pushing back against fatmisia [anti-fatness / hatred of fat people].

which one do you hate more: your body, or white supremacy?
do you hate fatmisia / anti-fat culture / diet culture?
do you hate it more than you hate your body?
* fatmisia = anti-fatness / hatred of fat people. cf.[compare] fat"phobia".
which one do you hate more: yourself, or anti-fat culture?
which one do you hate more: yourself, or white supremacy?
why?
where does negative body image come from?
bc it's not your fault. and it's not your bodymind's fault.
what are your feelings, thoughts, & beliefs about your body?
where did/do those feelings, thoughts, & beliefs come from?
