I am a queer Chicano film student living in the IE. I journal about my film career, yell about social justice and am super dorky about fandom. Trigger warning for frank discussion of disordered eating, sexual assault, self injury and suicide. Individual posts contain appropriate TW tags. PS: there will be Homestuck I'M SO SORRY.
I am assigned female at birth and use male pronouns, am in a long-term, open-on-my-side-sometimes relationship with "Peach."
I'm very open to questions and dialogue with others! Drop me a line :)

Why I quit dieting
I have tried a lot of diets in my life. Atkins, vegan, Weight Watchers, counting calories, Weigh Down Workshops, Paleo, Zone, South Beach, food logs. I’ve worked with nutritionists and therapists. I’ve done the shakes, the herbal supplements, the cleanses. I’ve spent hours in the gym, I’ve trained for races, I’ve done CrossFit, I’ve lifted weights. I’ve tried a lot of things. I’ve spent thousands of dollars. None of these efforts (and concentrated, years-spanning efforts many of them were) have succeeded to get me thin in the long term.
I finally got fed up, and about two years ago, and decided that instead of going on another diet, I would start doing some research about why nothing was working for me. I learned that dieting almost never works. That losing and gaining weight repeatedly was unhealthy. That I didn’t have to be thin to be healthy. I started to do more research. I read more books, I visited blogs, I investigated health journals and read papers and published research. I became more and more curious. Read the full post…
I love this because it aligns with my own journey to a diet-free existence, which all started with questioning.
“WHY?”
As soon as we start to question all of these things that stand in our way, we can begin to break them down to a powder and blow them away.
Also, definitely click-through to the full article, there are a number of really amazing resources!
“I think it’s desperately important to acknowledge that the scariest thing about diets isn’t just that they don’t work. It’s that the pull of diet culture is so powerful that it eclipses everything else in our lives: jobs, love life, and our own mental health. It doesn’t have to be as drastic as being fired for embezzling company funds into buying cases of Slim-Fast. It can be subtler than that.”

that was short lived
I quit both my jobs! I’ve decided to go back to school fulltime and get mah shit together. Because I only want to do one thing and it’s so worth it to me :))
also because I’m sick after working 9 hours at gas station pumps. Bleh I feel so ill.
