Corissa Enneking / fatgirlflow and Juliana "J" Aprileo / comfyfattravels - Delusional fat-acceptance lesbian couple, junk-food addicts with expensive taste, denied a mortgage due to excessive Doordash ordering

[Aunt Carol]

They're too out of shape do simple tasks like walking or standing,

This is the same thing I don't understand. They go back and forth on whether they're fat and that's a legitimate disability, vs. they're fat and that's a fine and healthy way for some bodies to be.

I could see "these chairs are not made to fit every kind of valid body" being a rallying point: chairs are material culture and reflect a society that still needs to become more inclusive~~~

But not being able to walk or stand for more than half an hour is not a social construct. That's a sign that your body doesn't naturally want to be that size.

We all agree that they're awful and crazy, but I'm still perseverating that the crazy isn't internally consistent.

I disagree with the idea they aren't being self consistent because they take these inabilities as proof the rest of the world needs to accommodate them rather than the other way around. We saw this in the OP with Corissa using a wheelchair at the Atlanta airport, we saw it with Juliana skipping part of new hire (I think? I remember it was something to do with her job at the university) training because it involved walking, we saw it with Juliana pressuring her work to install a bidet after became she unable to wipe after defecating, you get the picture.

Edit to add: a few word tweaks for clarity and also to note that Juliana's blog is full of ideas on how to accommodate deathfats at everybody else's expense. This mindset is not new for her; at a minimum it goes back to early 2018 based on dates in her blog posts' URLs.

If she focused on the problems in her own country, her own backyard, she might be expected to do something about it other than flaccidly post on social media. Palestine is far away, and therefore safe to engage with.

Why haven't these fat fucks waddled up to KU for the Palestine protests? It got broken up yesterday.

You would think they would be with their mentally ill people and all.

I was thinking thrifting is the perfect way to solve the unethical clothing issues.
Then I realized Corissa is too fat to thrift.

Someone who uses four times the resources of a normal human being, for no reason other than gluttony and entitlement, and has no contribution to the world other than filming herself trying on clothes for social media, and making terrible, terrible pornography, is lecturing me on "ethical consumption".

Okay then.

 

[Turtlebees]

Corissa is unbearably self-centred. Everything she writes and speaks concerning others needing to think of her when they purchase furniture, for example, is just ... wow. By reading this one post of hers, without ever meeting her or knowing if this accurately represents her personality, I can't stand her. How does she attract followers?

[clipped out the multiple vids of Corissa talking about ethical consumption]

But on the topic of shopping ethically rather than making purchases based on needing something NOW, she's right imo. Shop local, shop ethically sourced, shop thrift stores for well-made items that have stood the test of time. No one really needs a closet stuffed with cheap, uncomfortable, disposable clothing.

It's too bad she fails to set an example of this regularly but at least she acknowledged her failure, albeit forced and seeming more to re-establish her influencer reputation in the face of criticism, which should make me dislike her a wee bit less but it doesn't. I don't like posers; fake social and environmental consciousness homesteaders irk me the same way fake crunchies (like Globyn of Luna Buna fame) and even fake wealthy aspirational content creators do.

I'll hop back off my soapbox now.

 

[he who has thus come/gone]

How can J even get through an airport and onto a plane at her size? She's gotta be wider than the airplane door.

If the surgery actually happens, and if she doesn't die on the table, there's no doubt that the bedbound recovery will extend into permanent immobility and, eventually, death.

I just can't handle a lot of cow video so I didn't watch those clips; sorry. Did Corissa say anything about thinning out her clothing hoard?

The point upthread about being too fat to thrift is one they often bring up. In sewing communities you'll see someone buying an ugly dress at a yard sale and altering it into something more tailored, and in the comments people seethe that that 1990s size 22 dress should have gone to a poor fat woman instead.

It's easy to forget there are a lot of obese women who aren't awful jerks lording it over normies on social media, just people who like cheese and fried food too much but are still trying to make a go of things. Lots of institutionalized (elderly or mentally ill) fat women, lots of homeless fat women or fat moms fleeing with a kid or two to a domestic violence shelter, and of course it's easier for someone to wear something too big than too small.

Corissa has a treasure trove of scarcely-worn plus-sized clothing; if she donated some of it to a shelter, she'd be doing more good than reblogging ever could.

Then I realized Corissa is too fat to thrift.

I've come to believe that this is highly regional, and thrift stores in areas with more fat people have a better selection of tarps. Considering Corissa lives in Kansas, I'm optimistic about her chances. Then again, the kind of fast fashion she prefers probably doesn't last long enough to make it to a thrift store, especially when worn by a fat load.

One thing to note: Goodwill doesn't wash donated clothing. I don't know if other big thrift stores do, but it seems unlikely. Small stores and clothing closets, maybe.
Clothing that gets donated in a highly-stinky state is mostly going to get thrown out. Cheap synthetics that are worn by the sweaty and yeasty are at risk, just like smoker clothing and musty storage unit clothing.

Sadly, the thrifts are absolutely deluged with fast fashion these days, from Shein crap to LuLaRoe castoffs, mostly because that clothing is one-and-done for the wearer. Working people trying to find something of quality made of natural fibers is way more of an issue than fatties seeing their tarps refitted.

She could even coordinate a fat thrift exchange at Fat Camp which is coming up soon.

I don't know about now, it may vary from state to state, but my brothers worked for a salvage store and they got a bunch of t-shirts that had rust stains. They weren't allowed to wash them, so one of my brothers brought them home, we washed them, got the rust stains out and enjoyed them ourselves.

The only thrift stores I'm aware of that have ever washed donated clothes is Deseret Thrift, owned by the LDS church. Which made them a great option when I needed boring clothes for job interviews and low-paying office gigs way back in my young days. I don't know if they still do it.

Other thrift stores don't waste time and money on washing dirty/stinky donations; they either go in the dumpster, or (if its a high-volume thrift chain like Goodwill, Salvation Army, Value Village, or St. Vincent de Paul stores) are sent to a textile recycler.

 

[I call shenanigans]

Am I an idiot? I never donate clothes without first first either washing them or having them drycleaned? I don’t iron them though.

No; you're a thoughtful, responsible adult. That's what you're supposed to do when you're donating to a thrift store.

But you know how people are. There are a lot of inappropriate donations to charity that end up just being a roundabout way to throw something in the trash.

This, exactly. It's amazing how much stuff that should have gone straight into the trash gets donated to thrift stores. People have a tendency to overvalue their own stuff, and see it as better than it is, and others feel guilty at discarding things, but some of them are just straight up delusional about it.

Then you get the people who want a receipt for their donation so they can take the tax write-off, and will donate unwearable, unusable, filthy, worn-out things—or things that are totally unsuitable for a given cause. Anna O'Brien foisting a fondue pot she'd been given onto a women's shelter, and making content of herself making donations to them, comes to mind.

Spoiler

And I remember an animal shelter I worked at turning away a man who wanted to donate all of the filthy carpet he'd torn out of his house, because he was certain we could cut it up and use it as animal bedding. He got very angry when we refused the donation and wouldn't let him unload it, and I'm certain he was far less motivated by a misplaced sense of charity than he was in wanting to avoid a dump fee (the nearest waste transfer station was right up the road). We had to call the cops; that was a fun one. But on a daily basis we got donations of filthy, worn-out pet beds, broken carriers, and ripped, stained towels and bedding, all of which went straight into the dumpster. One woman—who was clearly not all there—donated a large box full of pint cottage cheese containers (all washed, mercifully), and those went straight into the recycling dumpster. There were hundreds of them, and she thought we would have a good use for them, but we didn't.

Most people understand that they should donate only clean, useable items in good repair, but the ones who don't understand it often really don't.

ETA: As for Corissa—donating her used tarps? Hell, no. But any poorfat who wants her cast-offs can buy them on Depop (or whichever site she uses).

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

...and "this guy"...(mentioned in the article above)...


...didn't live to see 50, even though he had lost over 350 elbees at the time of his death.

Too little, and way too late. The damage had already long since been done.

Manuel Uribe required a heavy-duty crane to haul him around just to leave house.

That's really only about one step up from needing to be hauled around by truck just to get out to one's own garden.

Manuel's life was a tragic chronicle of suffering and irrevocable declining health events that ended in extinction.

Requiring a crane (or a truck) to trek to one's backyard is, arguably, the beginning of the end.

Manuel's crane story was not the saga of a stunning and brave accessibility journey...nor, was it a romantic allegory of his "comfy fat travels."

...instead, it was a stark and horrifying cautionary tale, Juliana.

Manuel Uribe, a Mexican man once listed as the world's heaviest human being died Monday, at the age of 48.​

May 6th, 2014

Manuel Uribe had slimmed down to about 867lbs (394kg), well below his then-record peak weight of 1,230lbs (560kg), which was certified in 2006 as a Guinness World Record.​

​

Uribe had been confined to his bed in Monterrey for years, unable to walk on his own.​

​

The official, who was not authorised to be quoted by name, said Uribe had been taken to the hospital on 2 May because of an abnormal heartbeat. He had to be taken to the hospital with a crane by emergency and civil defence workers.​

​

Doctors have not yet certified the cause of death. In addition to the cardiac condition, Uribe was also believed to have suffered from liver problems.​

Wasn't this in a haul not long ago?
