We’re definitely seeing a shift where body acceptance and plus size visibility is concerned. I discuss this topic + the impact of the new “miracle diet drug” #ozempic in my latest column for @reckonnews. I’d love to hear your thoughts. 🤓📰 reckon.news/justice/2023/07/…
PERSPECTIVES: Will the Ozempic craze mark the end of body positivity and plus-size fashion?

As a Black Indigenous woman, I have seen firsthand how white supremacy, capitalism and diet culture forces people who look like me to hate ourselves. This keeps us imprisoned, battling our own bodies...

“We will not rest…” even on Shabbat! ✊🏽🇵🇸🕊️

It's such a powerful statement for these Jewish organizations to be demonstrating on Shabbat. "We will not rest" in this context means "the situation is so dire it requires breaking one of our most holy commandments." ❤️

Jana, a young British-Palestinian stuck in Gaza due to closed borders, recounts the distressing reality of bombings and the daily fear she endures. 'We are children... it's not right to do that to children.'

This show is everything my younger self needed to see when I was growing up. I’m hopeful this is just the start of authentic *mainstream* Native representation. Although, the cancellation of Rutherford Falls along with the end of Reservation Dogs has me worried…

Whatever you do, avoid @HiltonGrandVac at all costs. A customer service rep just hung up on me after saying, “I’m not in sales, ma’am in I’m in customer care.” How is hanging up on a customer considered “care?” Add this to the list of: I should have known better+Scam alert!

I guess losing a few hundred dollars isn’t as bad as the thousands of dollars other people have lost buying into @HiltonGrandVac scammy time shares. I’m counting my blessings. 🙏🏽

Replying to @amystretten @HiltonGrandVac
I’m honestly so tired of how bad customer service has gotten these days. Not just @Hilton, but literally everywhere. Did the world wake up one day and just decide to be a jerk? It’s so rare to meet a kind person, especially when handing over money…yet everybody wants a $tip

I hadn’t planned to rant on the Internet today, but @HiltonGrandVac should literally be ashamed. What’s worse is they’re still offering Maui as a destination. Maui! Right now! I know I shouldn’t be surprised, but damn…

This new frenzy marks a shift in popular culture around body image. Just a few years ago, having a voluptuous body was “in” and plus-size everything was having a moment. These days, many of us are wondering what happened to size inclusivity? @amystretten reckon.news/justice/2023/07/…
