From Jezebel’s Work-Life Balance Isn’t Just for Moms:
The basic point of all of this is that whether you have kids, have a partner but no kids, or are living alone, working too much sucks. It’s no way to live, and we’re not dummies. So at some point, most of us realize that we’d rather do something that allows us to actually have a life, rather than commit every waking hour to a job, no matter how fulfilling we find it.
This is why I’ve been avoiding startups.
Jezebel also had a good post from Lindy West on an Adipositivity Project photo being used as “a joke”.
Can you believe fat people? Just existing willy-nilly all over the place, sometimes without even the courtesy to cloak their terrible bodies in heavy smocks and caftans.
Why, they even expect their copyrights to be respected?!? It’s as if they think they’re people!
Why Obesity is NOT an Eating Disorder:
An ED is a serious emotional problem/illness and obesity is a measure of height and weight. … The comparison between obesity and eating disorders is [akin] to comparing an apple with a chair. You can’t sit in an apple and you can’t eat a chair!
This sort of armchair misdiagnosing does not help anybody, especially not those with actual eating disorders.
