an interesting and, imo, important read. what does capitalism begin to consume (and/or accelerate its existing consumption of) as it exhausts material avenues for expansion? how do we (as workers, as storytellers) push back?

A screenshot of a section of the article reading: "So when you drink a few Monsters or Red Bulls, you’re still getting physically and mentally fatigued; your brain just doesn’t know it yet. It’s as if, instead of using an oven mitt, you just shot your hand full of Novocaine before grabbing a hot pan. The harm is still there. And in economic terms, this means that every time you work a long shift with chemical assistance, you’re not just selling your working hours to the boss. You’re also degrading the quality of life you’ll experience during your non-working hours, because that’s when the fatigue catches up to you, and you feel, to use the scientific term, like dogshit." The last one and a half sentences are highlighted.

Hold yourself to account for taking action well outside your comfort zone. Chances are that your fat friends aren’t going to ask for your action, partly because our very presence is often seen as a burden, and partly because our requests are met with silence, disdain, mockery, or anger.

For me: I’d love to see thin & midsize people FIGHT for fat people’s dignity. Be ready to go IN on other people’s anti-fatness just as decisively and firmly as you would for the isms that you personally experience. Give time/$/signal boosts to fat-led groups like NAAFA and ASDAH.
