ah in that case i stand corrected :(

of course i don’t have communication with those who downvoted, but my knee jerk worry is the downvotes were due to the nonspecificity of the title. not sure of course but that is my thought.

actual title is: Ableist language - a basic introduction

i think it does a disservice to remove that key word “ableist” from the title here :)

find new ways to enjoy or prepare fresh fruits and veggies, get cardiovascular exercise, bonus points if in the sun for vitamin d, avoid stress when possible, sleep 7 hours when possible, avoid smoking, alcohol in excess, and other substances that put strain on your body. take care of yourself emotionally and find time to be with people you love. drink water!

no one will be able to do all of these perfectly always and it is normal to struggle attain most or even any. but they are more precise and beneficial targets than “gain or lose weight” and they have much more immediate and noticeable outcomes :)

Conversely, though, remember that unhealthy nutritional choices can mess with your immunity, cause inflammation, and really screw with your day-to-day energy and sleep. Nutrition is always a story performed on a much more complicated stage than weight=calories in - calories out! (Though that equation is a good signpost that guides the plot.) See https://lemmy.cafe/comment/9956540

To ammend even further: Health neither stops nor starts at weight in almost any case. Far better strategies for self care will instead look at:

• Cardiovascular fitness (resting heart rate, blood pressure, etc)
• Energy levels, blood sugar and sleep
• Immunity, inflammation, stress

More broad attention to these three rough categories is going to be way more positive than worrying about the single metric of weight or BMI. Doctors may recommend a raise or lowering of weight, but for ALMOST EVERY person that’s only as a means to the end of improving one or more of the broader cardio, energy, and immunity mechanisms.

hmm yeah that’s probably normal and fine! nothing to see there.

do i look like i know who j is or why he would do that to him

@WindFarmsofTikTok, the new kind of terrorist, hiding her barely veiled commands to her followers to bomb-threat green infrastructure behind her love of birds :(

excellent answer and analogy, and even more points for not using the useless phrase no true scottsman :) /gen

ha, you finally got banned for your annoying AI content. that’s what you get for being mean about it, be nicer next time and we won’t care so much that you care so little about being a genuine participant in the space we try to keep nice and friendly.

thanks OP and others for sharing the photos! evidence that people are turning out is push to make the next one even more appealing—this is already the movement’s second organized demonstration and it’s already being seen so much more across fedi than the first time! :)

I am absolutely disgusted by this. Basically they are saying they intentionally and knowingly manipulated Palestinian Americans and pro-Palestinians into allowing a Trump victory and the doubling up of the growing threat of a trans, queer and POC genocide among much more violence.

You may have different opinions from me about the third party voters and the culpability they carry, but I hope we all can agree that Jason Call and company here are blatantly evil and have blood on their hands.

Hoping this can be a moment of reactionary leftist unity. Fuck every leader who actively worked towards MAGA. I’m doing my best to organize and do damage control, but not because some dumbass Jill Stein employee told me to. You should too.

The level of protest isn’t anywhere near the level of Harris.

Cite your sources and I will believe you.

A couple of protests over the White House doesn’t really compare.

FIFTY protests at capitals, plus non-capital cities. You are incorrect to say this. Source: https://www.delawareonline.com/story/news/2025/02/05/50501-protests-what-to-know-about-anti-trump-movement-project-2025/78243167007/

right here https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/2/5/as-trump-meets-netanyahu-protesters-chant-palestine-is-not-for-sale good news now you can be nice about all this right? right?

Making posts asking why something that’s literally happening and being reported in the news isn’t happening is also bad faith so…

Pro-Palestinian advocates are literally protesting in front of the White House as I type this. You are lying.

Misinformation but if that makes you feel better feel free to believe that.

I align with what Twiddle is saying and as for me, plenty, across multiple platforms. Genocide is bad whether you choose to pay attention or not. Thank you for asking!
