Belly of the Beast by Da'Shaun L. Harrison, Fearing the Black Body the Racial Origins of Fatphobia by Sabrina Strings.

a podcast on the intersection of fatphobia and eugenics I recommend is Maintenance Phase. on BMI, on the obesity "epidemic"

ah yes, promoting calorie counting and weighing food, the famously not disordered gymbro eating patterns. the article actually says that calorie counting can cause more harm than good

I think the initial assumption that a "healthy" universal weight even exists is rooted in eugenics. oh, and also the attempts by the medical industrial complex to standardize it and enforce it through violence against fat people

I'd probably just stick to Meshtastic if it ever gets out of the beta stage

I recommend reading about the relationship escalator . although it's a tool primarily aimed at poly people, even monogamous people can benefit from learning about how you're allowed to not consent to societal norms.

TLDR: only you can decide if you wanna move in with her, if at all. letting other people tell you how to organize your relationship will only end in misery

Hispanic is an ethnicity while white is a race. you can be of any race and Hispanic and of any ethnicity and white but that doesn't mean they're the same thing.

Hispanic means Spanish-speaking people from Latin America which is different from Spanish which is a person from Spain. despite what the conquistadors would like people to think, not everyone in Latin America has Spaniard lineage. there are indigenous people that never got fully assimilated and don't speak Spanish

colorism only goes one way and that's against dark-skinned people. these terms are meant to analyze systems of power, there's no oppression against light-skinned people
