torndinnerjackets asked: Cronos is supposed to be pretty good. It's on my watch list!
Sounds good, I’ll add it to my list too :) Thanks!
Nobody ever says:
- homophobia will go away if we ignore it.
- terrorists will go away if we ignore them.
- homelessness will end if we stop talking about it.
- infant mortality will end if we stop acknowledging it.
- AIDS will go away if we stop focusing on AIDS so much.
Everybody knows that those notions are ridiculous. Why then do people insist on thinking that racism, which is the tragedy above all tragedies, will disappear if we stop talking about it?
I’ve heard the first one, at least, from the people who say the same about racism, but the point stands.
Can anyone recommend any good movies from South America?
It’s the continent I have neglected most in film and I want to change that. Even when I think of movies set in South America, a lot of them have production teams and directors from the United States. Babel, for example, is a co-production of the US, France, and Mexico, and was written and directed by two Mexicans, but is obviously marketed towards English speaking audiences, namely people in the United States. Good movie nonetheless.
Cidade de Deus (City of God) and El laberinto del fauno (Pan’s Labyrinth) are two more great South American films, but nothing else comes to mind that I have seen, which, frankly, is pathetic. So any recommendations would be really helpful.

But they also
- relax
- invigorate
- comfort
- make me happy
- calm me down
- make me look cool
- go great with every mood
- make my mouth all tingly
- taste delicious after good meals
- are something I’m able to do totally and completely for myself.
I’m a non-smoker and I endorse this message.

“[TW: eating disorders]
The reality is that fat people are often supported in hating their bodies, in starving themselves, in engaging in unsafe exercise, and in seeking out weight loss by any means necessary. A thin person who does these things is considered mentally ill. A fat person who does these things is redeemed by them. This is why our culture has no concept of a fat person who also has an eating disorder. If you’re fat, it’s not an eating disorder — it’s a lifestyle change.”

I will always reblog this because it is so so important.

I just want to nail this to every stable surface I can find. I cannot count the amount of times that I’ve seen fat folks being encouraged, cajoled, and even forced into behaviors that would be recognized as disordered eating/exercising patterns in thin folks.
Pretty much everything that’s done on shows like The Biggest Loser would be called out as pro-ana/pro-orthorexia in a thin person. Exercising past the point that it hurts, to the point where you’re throwing up, even injuring yourself? Berating yourself because you didn’t lose ENOUGH weight this week? Constantly talking about how fat is weakness and thinness will make everything better, about how you can’t stand to be your current weight anymore? Emphasis on weight as a sign of how much control, strength, and worth you have? Viewing food as bad, as a temptation to sin? Constant sharing and talking about tips on how to minimize food intake, how to lose weight?
That sounds exactly like every pro-ana/pro-mia blog I’ve ever seen. It’s also what fat people are told we need to be doing to ourselves until we’re thin.

There is so much truth in this.

I watched TBL the other day on Netflix, just to see if it’s gotten any better, or if they’re teaching healthy anything at all now. It’s still horrifying. Also, the above is all true.

Quote and commentary. This is another reason why I don’t feel comfortable censoring pro-ana content: the people who are involved are very distressed and usually very sick (and don’t fucking anybody dare say ‘no they’re not, because they’re not really anorexic’), and they’re only repeating everything they hear from every direction anyway. The only difference is that pro-ana sites admit that what they believe is disordered and say ‘but fuck it, we’re doing it anyway’, whereas magazines and television say ‘no, no, of course this isn’t abnormal, it’s all perfectly healthy!’ (I’m not saying I support pro-ana sites, but I definitely think it’s hypocritical to censor them.)
