I haven’t seen Captain Marvel yet but I already LOVE Goose! Apparently, Goose is a Flerken so I’ve been thinking… what would happen if Venom met Goose? lol
So I realized another favorite trope of mine today. Whumpeeâs ex and new partner caring for whumpee.
Like Scott Lang with his ex Maggie and her new husband Jim Paxton in Ant Man and the WaspÂ
Or Eddie Brock with his ex Annie Weying and her new boyfriend Dan Lewis in Venom
I love it. These three people shouldnât all get along so well but they do because the whumpee is too cute and helpless and they just want to help him. It makes me smile. I want more of this.
Nuestra Señora de la Santa Muerte (Spanish for Our Lady of Holy Death), often shortened to Santa Muerte, is a female deity or folk saint in Mexican and Mexican-American folk Catholicism. A personification of death, she is associated with healing, protection, and safe delivery to the afterlife by her devotees. Despite condemnation by the Catholic Church, her cult has become increasingly prominent since the 2000s.
The worship of Santa Muerte is condemned by the Catholic Church in Mexico as invalid, but it is increasingly firmly entrenched in Mexican culture.
Santa Muerte is also seen as a protector of homosexual, bisexual, and transgender communities in Mexico, since many are considered to be outcast from society. Many LGBT people ask her for protection from violence, hatred, disease, and to help them in their search for love.
Man how did I not know about this magical gay skeleton queen until today?
When I was growing up in Mexico I knew about the Santa Muerte, but I was always afraid of her because adults told me only criminals and drug dealers prayed to her. (Ofc I had no idea she is a patron of us gays). I can’t believe we’ve done her such an injustice in Mexico… she is one true queen 👑 💀
i know everyone makes fun of ya dystopian fiction and books like the hunger games or divergent, etc. like âlmao one teenage girl canât save the worldâ but uhhhÂ
that is literally????
whatâs happening?????
right now?????
like idk about you, but i can smell a revolution coming
And notice the tone the scientists researching this.
“What do you mean the fatties live longer? This CANNOT BE RIGHT DO THE STUDIES 15 MORE TIMES!”
And when they can’t figure it out, they simply say “it’s not worth reading” to keep anything POSITIVE about fat bodies from getting out into the public eye.
Because then folks might not but into the billion dollar industry for diet fads and weight loss scams that all of these obesity doctors line their pockets with.
Because then theyd actually have to start treating their fat patients like PEOPLE.
“Willett’s complaints are starting to look less credible, however, because no one has been able to make the paradox go away. One of the most popular explanations is that fat people get more aggressive treatment than thin people, because their weight raises red flags at the doctor’s office. This seems questionable: studies show that overweight and obese people tend to avoid doctors, get fewer preventive screenings, and receive worse treatment because they’re often misdiagnosed as “fat” rather than with a specific medical condition”
Emphasis mine
Also, notice the phrasing.
“No one has been able to make the paradox go away”
They wanna get rid of that shit SO BAD. Because if fat people aren’t as OMG OBESITY CRISIS as folks love to scream, that means their fad diet scams and weight loss surgeries can’t make them millions anymore!
Fuck these obesity doctors. They outchea selling snake oil.
“People are furiously looking for some way to make this not the case,” says Deb Burgard, a clinical psychologist in Los Altos, California who treats eating disorders. “And I think that bears some comment. Theoretically we should be very happy to find out that people aren’t dying the way we thought they were going to, that there’s not going to be this terrible outcome. That people at higher weights are going to be OK.”
“One of the most popular explanations is that fat people get more
aggressive treatment than thin people, because their weight raises red
flags at the doctor’s office.”
*points and laughs*
I’m sorry, I’m just stuck on this part. That’s hilarious. An incomplete list of things where the suggested solution was “You should lose weight”: My badly broken ankle hurting, a severe bacterial sinus infection, panic attacks stemming from Complex PTSD …
Oh, wow this study has a pretty reputable source and a really big sample size. Y’all could actually show this to the haters.
No one ever tell me anything bad about the person who runs this account.
the person who runs this account, Katie Gouldin, is an evolutionary biologist who has an EXCELLENT podcast called Creature Feature which compares and contrasts the weird behaviors of man and beast! she is super cute and funny too!
