I saw this on Twitter and I have no clue if it’s joking or not but considering I’ve seen people say shit like this in earnest it probably isn’t but anyways if you think like this how about you just go fucking live in the woods away from people because you’re obviously a shitty person

I feel so fucking bad for Arlie Hochschild, freaks were so eager to take a useful framework and term and utterly bastardize it.

IDK, I’m currently trying to get a referral to a psychologist because there’s no way I’m dumping my problems on someone who isn’t being paid for their time. I mean there’s “telling your friend about your bad day,” and there’s “asking your friend to be your mental health advisor.” I figured the Twitter post was about people who do the latter.

So I usually don’t post stuff like this but…

Right so today in class my math teacher, a human who is taller than our door and probably more awkward than it, casually mentioned how he isn’t married and how he never really felt attraction to any gender.
So a pan girl in my class puts up her hand and asks if he was Asexual.
One confused state and three queer people explanations later…
HE WAS BEYOND EXCITED TO FIND OUT THAT HE WAS VALID AND SEEN AS AN ACTAUL HUMAN TO THE LGBT COMMUNITY.
I shit you not.
My way too tall and way too smart and way too dorky and way too awkward maths teacher lived his entire life thinking that he was strange and abnormal for not feeling any attraction to anyone.
And a class of insane grade elevens changed that.

Awhile back I was explaining asexuality to my therapist and at some point she just like froze and was like ‘wait… maybe i’m asexual’ and got really excited and said she was gonna do more research on it herself. Which was not at all what I was expecting to happen when I told my therapist I was ace, but it was def a happy surprise.

EDIT: 

i just realized i had originally meant to reblog this to my main, whoops! but i guess it goes okay here too lol

Reblog to help an ace figure themselves out.

When I came out to my mom as ace, she tried to convince me that that’s just how everyone felt, and no one really felt sexual attraction like they always suggest in media or movies, and it took a while of explaining but eventually she started understanding that sex wasn’t some compulsory thing humans had to do and other people did experience attraction. Turns out she thought she was broken for her entire life until she found out what being asexual was, and she’s so much happier now.

Thin people actually think they’ve ‘earned’ their bodies. They honestly believe their thinness is a product of their own hard work, restriction of food and exercise. People who were just born thin, eat a normal diet and go to yoga twice a week think that that’s what it takes, and cannot fathom that there are fat people out there doing the same amount of exercise or more, eating the same or (in a lot of cases) a more restrictive diet and yet remain fat.

When offered a brownie thin person would joke “oh you want me to get fat” (let’s not even touch on how they think it’s somehow bad), but they honestly think eating a brownie or liking sweets and having them every day would actually make them fat.

Like, honey, you’re a size two. You can live off brownies for a month and not move and you’ll gain at best a couple of pounds. That’s how your body works. Some bodies work like that. Others don’t.

There’s a scientific study out there that found that thin people on average eat more than fat people. Yet they remain thin. They work office jobs, and go to yoga twice a week, or they’ve romanticized going to gym for a booty blasting workout and they think that this is the hard work they’re puttig in, and that if they stop, they will pretty much overnight, automatically rocket into size 20.

Even though there are plenty examples of thin people not liking exercise while being foodies and remaining thin, they will still claim that ‘it all burns off in the hard work of taking pictures for Instagram’. Or some shit. They continue to eat fast food on the same exact rate as fat people, and they drink alcohol, which is extremely high in calories, yet they think that yoga and kale salad and a smoothie the next day solve all their problems, and fat people are just too unintelligent and lazy to do exactly that.

There are thin people being foodies and hating exercise and drinking and temaining thin, and there are thin people being gymrats and counting calories and being vegan and remaining thin and thin people an mass still don’t see anything contradictory to their gospel in those kinds of thin people coexisting, while completely disproving everything we are told about diets. It’s not about a diet, diets don’t work.

Models will claim in interviews that they have to restrict themselves severely and workout dawn till dusk just to keep up the rare body type the lottery of genes has granted them and has no intention of taking away, workout or no workout. And then they die of malnourisment.

Thin people turn to fat people and tell them to follow the diet and workout for years, because they believe, ultimately, that all the body types stem from one thin one, or a couple of types of a thin one, so there must be a way to reach it. If they have that body type naturally, they feel entitled, they feel like they tried hard enough to reach it, even if by doing virtually nothing, and other fat people are not trying hard enough.

It’s akin to a person born rich telling a poor person to try harder to win the lottery of capitalism. I’m not even talking about billionaires, it’s the same mindset in upper middle class, who believe that by being born, stepping into all the doors that are open to them and literally not bankrupting themselves in a system built to prevent that, they’ve done some hard labour and deserve that pat on the back, and a brownie, that’s their guilty pleasure, alongside cocaine or some shit.

It’s an untrue, entitled mindset that’s harmful for everyone involved, including models and thin people who feel guilty for eating, and to fat people who often themselves think the same way, that if they work hard enough, they can win the lottery of genetics.

And it takes so much hard work to break free from that mindset.

A few years ago I realized that the one point where diet
culture and weight-gain fetish fiction overlap is that both are based on the
premise that there are no naturally thin people, just fat people waiting to
happen.
