What a powerful closing statement

from ml.books

things we really have to stop:

using fat people to illustrate greed

using thin people to define health and happiness

using fat people as an example of ill health and sadness

bringing up a fat person’s health at all

the use of headless fat people in news reels

using fat as an insult

thin people jumping in on conversations about the lived experiences of fat people and making it about them

the idea that a fat person who is in comfortable clothing is “sloppy”

basically, treating fat people any differently than a thin person.

ive trying to consciously make studying enjoyable, but also rigorous and productive lately. started by downloading forest and tidying up my desk (a very good mix of art and law obvs). today is day one. hope everyone is staying safe.

There’s a very particular eeriness that befalls ruins during the golden hour. I’m living for it.

Persepolis, Iran // August 2018

Do you ever think about how many of the items now considered priceless artifacts were once commonplace items? The coins we now marvel at from behind the glass at a museum were once tossed around, stepped on, and traded around. The pottery painstakingly pieced back together was somebody’s favorite wine jug. The decorative pin now rusted and bent once held together the shoulder of someone’s chiton. History is simply a trail of ordinary people going about their day, and I think there’s an odd sort of beauty in that.
