My mom and I need your help. 14 months ago, she had a near-fatal fall at home. She has spent the time since beating all of the odds at a total of *10* different facilities recovering from injuries, infections, and surgeries. More info at the link buttondown.com/officehours/...

If he says “covid is over” and YOU are saying and acting like covid is over, then you agree with RFK. You can’t color it any other way. So ask yourself, what does it mean that you live in accordance with the lies of this man, despite your liberalism, your commitment to Social Justice?

if you decry RFK Jrs logic here but find yrself agreeing with, if not saying yourself something to the effect of: “i’m not sick, i don’t need to mask” i need you to reflect on the ways your actions echo eugenicists—even if you find their reasoning vile. then let that fuel a change in your behavior.

We've only been able to raise $50 this June. I know things are pretty rough out there, but even what is considered to be a 'tiny' donation is actually super helpful. A lot of people pitching in a little bit goes a long way. So if you can help, I'd appreciate it. www.viciousminuteshour.com/salim

We're still raising money for my brother Salim, for his rent, food & medication. Salim has Stage 4 Liver Cirrhosis & he needs a transplant to save his life. If you feel compelled to give, the link is below (& our family would appreciate it) www.viciousminuteshour.com/salim

The fundraiser for my brother Salim has stalled for a couple of weeks. But if we can have 8 people donate $25 each, we at least cover his medication costs for the week ahead. Let’s see what we can do to help him, together. viciousminuteshour.com/salim

My brother Salim (who has been dealing with Stage 4 Liver Cirrhosis & needs a transplant to save his life) needs help with his rent, food & medication. If we can raise $2000 by the end of this month, it'll take care of him for the next while. Will you help us? viciousminuteshour.com/salim

We are at $223 of $2000 raised with 5 days to go. So I've opened up everything in my art store as a gift for any contribution. You have regular & customized audiodrama role-playing games to access to other original pieces of audio art to your own personal readings www.viciousminuteshour.com/salim

Just got done reading this thoughtful post someone made about my book, ‘Fat Off, Fat On: A Big Bitch Manifesto. The best part of the post for me is them recognizing how important it was for me, as a Black women, to discuss how much we are ignored in conversations and studies on eating disorders 🥹

Natasha Wade, Your Black Wome...: Alc 4,600 followers 3h I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying this book by Clarkisha Kent. Here is a brilliant partial review by Roslyn Talusan that drew me to it: "Clarkisha Kent's distinctive, powerful voice flourishes on the page in Fat Off, Fat On. She's candid and sharp in recounting some of the most vulnerable moments in her life as a young millennial-specifically as a fat, disabled, queer Black woman existing in America. Fat Off, Fat On is incisive in its critique of systemic oppression, and Kent's warmth, wit, and humor evoke a feeling of being in the room with her as she traces her journey back home to her Self and her body." When we discuss rest, I have to stress againit's not just about sleep. It's also about putting to bed some of these arbitrary, made-up standards that were put on women's bodies, especially Black women's bodies...that we never asked for. And in case anyone wants to protest... "Well Tasha, that's White women! WEEEE don't deal with alluhdat!" Read the book Ш And also read this article: https://Inkd.in/gr8rrxYv QUOTE #1: "In contrast, Black women are more likely to have binge eating disorders, at about 5%compared to 2.5% among non-Hispanic white women." QUOTE #2: "Research around why someone develops an eating disorder is primarily centered around white women and their experiences. For example, the SCOFF questionnaire, a common screening tool for eating disorders that was developed in the 1990s, consistently lacks the depth to explain differences between racial demographic experiences. The absence of investigation and data into how Black women experience eating disorders dramatically increases disparities in both diagnosis and treatment, not to mention stigma and shame for Black women who do develop disordered eating." Translation for QUOTE #2:Black women are under-researched and under-invested in...yet again (surprise, surprise) © Anywho, buy the book and tell me what you think!

Things have really slowed down with the fundraiser for my brother. I know it's hard out there, I know it's been a long year, but if you could spare a little bit to help him out while we continue the search for a living liver donor, our family would appreciate it. www.viciousminuteshour.com/salim
