    Fat Liberation Manifesto 1. WE believe that fat people are fully entitled to human respect and recognition. 2. WE are angry at mistreatment by commercial and sexist interests. These have exploited our bodies as objects of ridicule, thereby creating an immensely profitable market selling the false promise of avoidance of, or relief from, that ridicule. 3. WE see our struggle as allied with the struggles of other oppreressed groups against classism, racism, sexism, ageism, financial exploitation, imperialism and the like. 4. WE demand equal rights for fat people in all aspects of life, as promised in the Constitution of the United States. We demand equal access to goods and services in the public domain, and an end to discrimination against us in the areas of employment, education, public facilities and health services. 5. WE single out as our special enemies the so-called “reducing” industries. These include diet clubs, reducing salons, fat farms, diet doctors, diet books, diet foods and food supplements, surgical procedures, appetite suppressants, drugs and gadgetry such as wraps and “reducing machines”. WE demand that they take responsibility for their false claims, acknowledge that their products are harmful to the public health, and publish long-term studies proving any statistical efficacy of their products. We make this demand knowing that over 99% of all weight loss programs, when evaluated over a five-year period, fail utterly, and also knowing the extreme proven harmfulness of frequent large changes in weight. 6. WE repudiate the mystified “science” which falsely claims that we are unfit. It has both caused and upheld discrimination against us, in collusion with the financial interests of insurance companies, the fashion and garment industries, reducing industries, the food and drug industries, and the medical and psychiatric establishment. 7. WE refuse to be subjugated to the interests of our enemies. We fully intend to reclaim power over our bodies and our lives. We commit ourselves to pursue these goals together. http://thisisthinprivilege.org/post/111376503253/fat-liberation-manifesto

    This apparently:

    yes, another film to follow in the footsteps of classic films like Alien, Aliens and Prometheus. I think the hate for Prometheus is largely irrational, and that if Alien came out today it would be heavily criticised for many of the same reasons. People today seem to have very entitled opinions when it comes to art in general, far more so than in the past, I think that's one of the big problems here. i bet if clockwork orange or Odyseey 2001 came out today it would be also ripped apart like prometheus. also i wonder what kind of movies you guys watch if you didnt like the new prom ? They would probably be on TV and have hundreds of adoring think pieces written on them every week. What movie studio would bother making either of those in this day and age? I honestly think big budget studio flix get torn apart the way they do because the quality of storytelling is so much better on the best TV shows, even if they can't match the visual spectacle to something like Prometheus.

    Boy, do I have just the thing for you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NH3ffAp9aA Oy I'm going to be ill. Still. Looks better than Outcast though.

    Watched the first episode of Outcast (new show from the writer of The Walking Dead comics), thought it was pretty awful. Christianity/demons/exorcism in horror bores me to tears in general though.

    ugh The Babadook was awful.
