Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

That was the 20th century that they skipped I guess. We as a whole got so overweight that by the 21st century we just started defending it.
I feel bad posting that recognizing your name also runs a wholesome community..
Haha it's fine
A friend of mine, who is just at the border of “normal” and “overweight” on the BMI scale, had a doctor refuse to remove a shard of glass from her hand until she lost 20 pounds. He said the surgery was too dangerous at her weight. There could be complications.
She ended up cutting her hand open and doing it herself.
That seems strange, although depending on how tall she was weight diffentials get pretty small. Like if you are 5'5 or below the difference between obese and normal is under 25 pounds (small window for overweight) It's only 40 pounds at 6'5. People are always built differently though so it's weird. When I was in my best shape I was always considered overweight according to the BMI chart because I was between 5'10/5'11 and was always around 187 pounds. No doctor would have called me fat at that time because I ran 5-10 miles a day and could dunk a basketball with both hands, I was lean but density was just high. I don't know anything about surgeries but I would figure they have to do with blood pressure and clotting habits maybe? The doctor likely was just an ass, hopefully her hand healed up well. Pain in the ass medical field we have here.
Yeah, bmi is a terrible measure of health. If you’re at all muscular it’s just going to say you’re fat.
Edit: apparently Wholesome and Lemmywholesome
Womensstuff? Strangest echo chamber I have ever seen since they accept AFAB Transmen and AMAB Transwomen but specifically exclude AMAB men. I get it, it's called women's stuff, but it's just as unwholesome as any "boy's club". I cringe every time I see the passive aggressive, warning/power trip when some supportive cisman comments. Just read her comment history for examples. Genderfluid peeps out there ducking the banhammer every other day.
Getting a lot of righteous indignation in my inbox. Femcel energy.
Wholesome and lemmybe wholesome, I don't meander into the others
Never noticed she led those. That's fair.
And you give Aunt Lydia pick me energy.
You wound me. I don't know how I'll ever recover from such a barb.
