Pickpick

I finished this yesterday, but I needed some time to process before I could write down my thoughts.

This book is intense. It‘s a quick read, but there is so much to take in. Racism, antisemitism, sexism, eugenics, high control religious groups - the roots of our obsession with thinness are multifaceted, but none of them are good.
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics When valid, well done research shows that body size isn‘t the health predictor it‘s made out to be, a woman with decades in the field is taken down by a man from a completely different field, and our doctors just keep telling us we all need to lose weight. Some doctors are asking questions, but far too many of them are not. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 4d
GingerAntics This is such an important read for everyone, but if you are trying to deconstruct your own past with diet culture and/or disordered eating, this book is absolutely vital. Everyone should read it. #SabrinaStrings #FearingTheBlackBody #audiobook #FatPhobia #elitism #classism #racism #antisemitism #HighControlReligiousGroups #MentalHealth #health #sanity 4d

SomedayAlmost The average Texan is a totally empathic, friendly person who cares about women & fairness. Abbott & his cronies pander to rich Evangelicals & do not care at all. 4y

Glad I picked this up off my #TBR. Fascinating glimpse into English classism, white superiority,anti-Chinese or “Orientals” discrimination, Post WWI.Maimed men and the ravages of war explored as well. In one scene an artist paints wounded/disable war Vets to pull them out of their shadow world in an effort to render them visible to society. #discrimination #classism #WWIVets #artinspires #artforsocialchange #TBR #AxetheStacks

Weaponxgirl 😂 well it‘s so you can see them better. Commoners get executed everyday but someone of higher class is a real event for us! 6y
GingerAntics @Weaponxgirl 🤣😂🤣 I thought you‘d gotten more civilised than America and done away with executions? 6y
Weaponxgirl In reality yes we have, the death penalty has been gone a while now. I just want to string up Nigel farrage and boris Johnson please? 6y

Dinner/bookstore date with my FP big sibling tonight. You know you‘ve got the right person when they pull this off the shelf as something they‘d read for fun, and it‘s the textbook for a class you‘re currently taking and loving. I wasn‘t going to drop $70 on the text when the prof is providing PDFs, but I‘ll pay $7.50 for the ease of paper vs screen for the last month of class. (And of course gift it to my friend after finals, I‘m not a monster)

Emilymdxn This looks like such an awesome textbook! What class is this for? 7y
Chrissyreadit That does look like an awesome book! What are you studying to do? 7y
kgriffith @Emilymdxn @Chrissyreadit it‘s for Self-Awareness in Education. I‘m so glad I‘m taking it, it‘s basically a 15 week long therapy appointment asking us to interrogate our biases and consider how we bring our whole selves to the environments in which we lead and educate. 7y
