re: @TheCut article around GLP-1s (because my FYP has been VERY active on this topic over the last 48 hrs) CW for weight loss discussion there is a pervading argument among the misinformed that utilization of GLP-1 medications for weight loss/weight monitoring is somehow the root of all evil when it comes to toxic diet culture. while i have no doubt that the accessibility of GLP-1s has exacerbated some people’s EDs and led to the perversion of ultra thinness, to take such a narrow viewpoint to an entire class of drugs—and most notably, the actual real life patients prescribed—is very one-sided. as someone who has lost 100 lbs on wegovy and reversed insulin resistance, sleep apnea, prehypertension, high cholesterol, and vastly improved my cardiovascular health, GLP-1s are an effective prophylactic for preventing type two diabetes and managing weight, especially when monitored and supervised by a doctor. i always say that one’s’ personal experience with obesity is their own, and if thy can maintain health, more power to them. for many, it does reach a tipping point, especially with age—which was my experience. either way, these tired, blanket statements made by large swaths of people about patients on GLP-1s are actively toxic and full of misinformation and wrongful projections, mostly about unconscious biases around fatness and what makes someone gain weight or lose weight. this latest article by the cut around a woman cutting off her friend on prescription wegovy is a far too common tale of people actively judging others for the medical choices they are making with their own bodies. even in my own experience on GLP-1s, i genuinely felt when i first started taking it that i would be excommunicated and shunned from certain friend circles if i talked about it, despite the fact that i was on a prescription medication for my own personal health—something i have taken back due to science. that said, if you are find yourself actively or unconsciously feeding into a narrative that GLP-1s are a net negative to greater society, i genuinely implore you to do more research and to broaden your viewpoint. for millions of people, they have have been transformative, life changing, and completely safe, as well as a tool in addition to mindful eating and exercise. in addition, when it comes to ED recovery (as someone with binge eating disorder), taking personal responsibility and self-accountability for one’s condition are critical in terms of overall happiness. i didn’t need to comment on this article, especially as a wee little heated rivalry fan account. but as someone who has had a successful, mindful relationship with a few name brand GLP-1s the last 2+ years, i wanted to get this off my chest.

@KmaFr_ it was a cynical time, and people had *expectations* from the wachowskis. plus emile hirsch had just fake-died controversially in INTO THE WILD and matthew fox was insanely famous for LOST, so i think it was also hard for audiences to see either of them as other characters
