Why is Marvel casting white actors to play Asian characters?

To claim that something is “just politics” is to point out how much privilege you have, either systematically or incidentally.

I’m very aware of the fact that I’m fat — trust me. I’ve had this body for longer than you’ve been familiar with it.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with loving my body. I don’t have to choose between being fat and beautiful, I can be both.

It's okay to dump your friends — even friends who have been there for you in the past. Remember today that you deserve good things and good people.

You can learn to live with the pain, you can move on as I have after over a decade of self-reflection and hard work, but you never, ever get over it.
