bedbound arc when?

September, after her top surgery if she doesn’t die on the table.

 

[one_time_user]

If she's laying on the ground to garden (why not just buy raised beds with legs?), how does she stand back up?

I like to think it was like this guy going on an outting.

 

[Cuddlebug]

If she's laying on the ground to garden (why not just buy raised beds with legs?), how does she stand back up?

Very slowly and painfully, I'd imagine. The weight load on her knees is gonna be catastrophic at her weight (for every then pounds, you exert 40 on your knees when you stand up, so you can only imagine what J must feel like when she stands). From the pics, though it looks like she's leaning on the bed, not fully sitting down, so maybe she just sort of rocks back onto her feet? Fatties are experts at throwing their weight around to approximate normal motion.

The way she's walking though... She's one gopher hole away from a horrific permanent injury. I'm glad to see her outside, but she really needs to be walking on even ground, preferably indoors and in the presence of a physical therapist. Even J seems to somewhat understand this since it's Coco who's driving her fat ass into the backyard (lol) for their farmer LARP.

Speaking of Coco-- girl's lookin' rough! Those hideous prints are doing her no favors, either. I am still impressed with her general mobility (especially compared to J, who's falling apart at 30), but I imagine she's one of those lucky fats who had great genes to begin with, and those genes are working overtime to keep her moving. Of course, the fat will win eventually. It always does.

Finally...

"I wanted to try these clothes on before they get dog fur on them".

...if only there were a magical place you could store clothes where they don't end up crumpled and covered in hair!

 

[TrainWreckSpotter]

Has Juliana ever mentioned buying more than one seat on an airplane? If they "comfy travel" and buy a whole row, they would get 1 1/2 seats each. I don't know if that would even be enough, though

 

[Angry New Ager]

My place is roughly the same acreage and layout as Corissa's, and I cannot imagine needing to be driven out to the back part of it. It's no distance at all. Maybe if I'm still here when I'm in my 90s? But I expect to be dead, or just about, before I get to a point where I can no longer shuffle out there unassisted.

But then again, "just about dead" does describe Juliana.

J last week : DEATH TO ZIONISM EVERYWHERE!!!

This week: Comfyfat Reminder(tm)-
Let's have meaningful discourse, folx.

WIth nuance! And compassion!

LOL. Narcissists hate when others disagree with them, and try to debate with them, so they have a lot of ways to shut it down and invalidate the other person and their arguments. This is a nice little illustration of that.

"Collaboration is key to engaging in meaningful discourse..."

So Juliana gets to determine whether discourse is meaningful, based upon whether you agree to "collaborate"—which means work together toward a mutually agreed-upon end. Therefore, if you don't completely agree with Juliana about what end is desirable, any dialogue you may try to have with her is not meaningful.

"...It requires open minds, informed experience, honest reflection, and a commitment to fostering understanding."

Open minds—that will come to the same conclusions as her.

Informed experience—you've consulted all of the right sources (as identified by Juliana), agree with their conclusions, and view the situation entirely through that lens.

Honest reflection—that will naturally lead one to the same conclusions as Juliana; anything else is dishonest.

A commitment to fostering understanding—you will understand the issue in the same way Juliana does, and relentlessly pester others on social media to do the same.

"When met with opposition, ask yourself: Is this person coming to me with compassion?"

Are they at least pandering to Juliana's ego by making a pretense of thinking she might be right, and that she has a valid point, and are willing to accept her emotional arguments over established facts?

"Is the language they're using indicative of an informed opinion?"

Have they consulted all of the correct, approved sources (as identified by Juliana), agreed with them, and are using the appropriate jargon that goes with it? Because citing any sources she's rejected, and using language that she doesn't like (obese, obesity), automatically renders your opinion uninformed, and thus invalid.

"Are they attempting to foster understanding, or are they challenging me to try to suppress my experience?"

Her own interpretation of her experience is the gold standard for Truth. It cannot possibly be distorted, or any way in error. There are no other valid ways in which she could possibly interpret her experience, no other frameworks through which she might approach it. Her feelings are immutable facts; your role is to understand them, discard any "evidence" that contradicts them, and make everything you say and do afterward revolve around them.

I'm sure Juliana wrote all of this about being fat and trans, but it applies to her position on Palestinians, as well.

Next slide: war chanting by drunk college students.

Pick. A. Lane.

Yeah, everybody whose opinion differs from hers is supposed to approach her with compassion and deference, and uphold her perennially-wounded foster kid feelings as objective truth, and treat her as an expert. But for her, and the people she sees as on her side? Nah. None of those rules apply; anybody she disagrees with deserves the worst.

 

[Aunt Carol]

Fuck, if it were me, I'd be too paralyzed with fear to do literally anything. Most people would be fucking mortified at the thought of calling fire/EMS and asking for their dozen strongest men to spend hours unwedging your ass because you're so fat you got stuck between your toilet and the wall.

Their philosophy is so confusing. J is posting about how she has to learn to say yes to going out back and doing light gardening. OK, what is there about your specific situation that makes that scary in the first place? Is that normal? How is Society causing you to be unable to pull weeds?

I'm just not seeing the "comfy" part.

Probably autism, but I keep thinking that if I were running a Fat Camp, I'd invest in a bariatric full lift.

(You can get them much less expensively used, for personal/non-medical use.)

If the goal of Fat Camp is to enjoy activities that people's obesity usually prevents them from, wouldn't it be reassuring to know that no matter what, you'll be able to get back up again? These guys' thesis, I thought, was that the only reason they're restricted in their activities is because Society builds a world that's too small and without enough grab bars. Wouldn't the answer to that be adapting their physical space to match the valid needs of their physical bodies?

And then Corissa could keep it at home in the off-season so J doesn't end up stuck between the toilet and the wall.

You can get a 2-ton engine hoist for $500 or less, and it won't have a scale built into it (which would be triggering).

Hmm...

Looks like either way, you're going to need a lot of trans pride stickers to cover the manufacturer paint job.


The selling point of the people hoist is push-button operation (no pumping), bigger spread on the legs, and coming with the spreader bar already. The slings you're going to have to buy on their own, but they need a few points of attachment to distribute the weight safely:

 

[Haram-Habibi]

I'm still shaking my head at the guy running a group for missing and murdered women......throwing in with the Palestinians.

IDK, maybe he thinks missing and murdering women is a good idea?

 

[Bibbity Bobbity]

I have come to learn that when someone says "Do your research" it means "Memorize my talking points."

David Baddiel talked about this in Jews Don't Count.

"Because all the people in the sacred circle are oppressed. And if you believe, even a little bit, that Jews are
moneyed, privileged, powerful, and secretly in control of the world ... well, you can't put them into the sacred circle of the oppressed. Some might even say they belong in the damned circle of the oppressors."

Basically, the left is full of zesty antisemitism. Jews are 2% of the US, and until recently, were the recipients of 60% of religious violence. But to J et al, they are dirty oppressors.

 

[brooky]

As for why Juliana has latched on to the Palestinian cause with such fervor, I have no idea. It's clearly hit some emotional hot-button for her, in a way that countless other causes—including ones right here in the US—haven't.

I suspect there's somebody she admires on social media who is very vocal about and she's trying to impress them/get their attention.

I say this because it's the kind of thing I would have done when I was 14, on LiveJournal. Not take a stance I don't believe in, but just be very virtue signally about it when there's no reason or value in doing so.

 

[Pudgy Bear Claws]

This doesn't add anything to the thread and I'm sorry, but JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, the absolute STATE of Julianna.

Just the thought of how much food these two must eat to actually be gaining weight at their current tonnage is mind boggling. J especially must literally do nothing but eat from the time she gets up until she goes back to bed. She probably sits and eats while she's working; I wonder if she packs a cooler full of food, snacks and drinks and hauls it into the basement every day.

 

[often puzzled]

This doesn't add anything to the thread and I'm sorry, but JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, the absolute STATE of Julianna.

This can't be overstated, honestly. That clip of her walking (or "walking," really) should disqualify her from any surgery, and it should be terrifying. I'm not joking when I say that even Chantal-- who is about a decade older than Juliana-- has better mobility than that. That was appalling to watch. And scary.

How is Society causing you to be unable to pull weeds?

If you have to ask, you're obviously part of the problem, shitlord. You'll be first against the wall when the Revolution comes . . . or when the comrades finish their snackies. Whichever comes first.

This maybe the out for her “no BMI limit” surgeon, well his anaesthetist at least. There’s no way she’s going under the knife without a pre-op anaesthesia assessment. One of the things they do look for at those assessments is mobility. I’ve seen them (with elderly parents) where they ask them to walk up stairs to assess their lung function, although whenever I’ve had them, the anaesthetist is just watching how you walk into their office, then quickly take a BP reading before listening to your lungs. Juliana will have to get herself from the sidewalk (where no doubt either Corrisa or an Uber will drop her off), into the offices of her surgeon/anaesthetist. If she can’t get to her own veggie patch without a lift, I can’t see her making it into their office without needing supplemental oxygen and a wheelchair.

She's hitting that point a lot of deathfats get to where there's really no point in even trying to define anything about their body. Male, female, boobs, moobs, lymphedema legs, it's all just a giant pile of lard with a face on it.

Probably autism, but I keep thinking that if I were running a Fat Camp, I'd invest in a bariatric full lift.

If you're that fat, you probably can't even get out the door to attend fat camp. I'm surprised J hasn't gotten to that point yet

 

[UncleTusky]

She probably sits and eats while she's working;

She does and takes inordinate pride in it.

You don't need to take my word for it, here's a link to her 'Superfat in the Workplace' blog post (link, archive).

It's not that entertaining so TL,DR: She brings in enough food to somehow keep her weight at 500-plus elbees, but it's hard and takes courage to do that when her coworkers are all horrified at how much she eats.

There was a fun game on the late great r/fatpeoplehate board on Reddit called 'Guess That Gender!'. You can guess how it was played and it was tough unless the subject was bald or had facial hair (this was pre-troonacy, thanks to pooners even those aren't useful anymore).

There are a lot of people who are walking around and think things are fine, because they haven't tried, in the past few years, to lie on the floor and get back up again.

Sometimes those people end up on the floor unexpectedly and without their consent. It's only prudent to prepare; how much better an experience Fat Camp would be if you could pick someone up from the side of the pool, without calling in the fatphobic Fire Department.

On the contrary, it's pretty amusing.

What if they don’t want to hire me because I’m fat?​

This is a real fear for fat people – and it’s entirely valid. Research has shown that overwhelmingly, hiring managers are less likely to hire fat people, as they consider them to be lazy and unprofessional. Yep, weight based bias is a real thing. Fat people are still a federally unprotected class.

I can’t stand on my feet for more than half an hour without feeling excruciating pain. I can’t walk long distances, stairs, or fit in tight spaces. Anything with high customer traffic that wouldn’t allow me to take very frequent breaks to sit down will not work. This pretty much cuts out all sales, retail, and food service positions.

I was really worried about what kind of work space I would have at my new job, considering I’d be spending damn near 8 hours of my day there. Will the chairs have arms? Will they be sturdy? Almost every superfat has a story about a time when a chair crumbled beneath them. My worst fear is always that on my first day, I’ll crush a chair in front of all my new coworkers and I’ll have to first, struggle to get up off of the floor and then immediately find a bathroom to go cry in out of embarrassment. Not fun.

This is why I consistently have anxiety about groceries every single week. I worry a lot about what my peers think about the foods I bring in. I fear that they’ll make judgments about my need to snack throughout the day. I’m afraid they’ll deem me a “bad fatty,” if I decide to bring food that I’m supposed to feel guilty about eating. But then, if I bring items that are typically seen as healthy, I worry they’ll make the wrong conclusions and decide to engage in conversations with me about dieting (yes, this does happen).

What can I bring for snacks that will feel satisfying? What will make the least noise and draw the least amount of attention? How can I make sure my meal looks balanced? Do I want it to be balanced for my own benefit or to try and control how I am perceived about the food I eat?

Establishing myself as A Fatty Who Eats Freely in the workplace requires courage and a lot of work. I have to be strong in my values and even repeat them to myself in times of insecurity.

Its nearly impossible to anticipate every potential physical activity that’ll be involved in a new job. Still, you can gather the basics. How big is the property? Will I be expected to regularly walk long distances? Is there a lot of driving involved? How much standing will there be?

Her blog post summarizes why you should never hire fatties. They're too out of shape do simple tasks like walking or standing, they break all of the furniture, and they have a meltdown if someone says "diet" near them.

Her blog post summarizes why you should never hire fatties.

And even setting the fat problems aside, who wants to work with someone this neurotic and paranoid? Everybody has their issues but I don't want to work with a self-absorbed person who is determined to prove their positions to me when I just want to eat an orange and turn down their pile of Oreos or whatever
