Too often people claim that they are practicing Body Positivity when in fact they are perpetuating fatphobia and/or using healthism and ableism to justify sizeism.

Fat shaming is wrong in any guise, and people who are trying to be funny (and/or trying to cover for a woefully incompetent press secretary) will just have to do better than relying on cheap stereotypes, shaming, and bigotry.

A revolution in affordable housing! A revolution in fighting homelessness!

One has to wonder what they would have done if they had been trying to do it with a “mean spirit.”
