Amazon Pulls Support for Perfectly Fine Older Kindles In an email to customers, Amazon announced that it would be ending service for Kindle devices older than the 2012 edition. Those devices will lose access to the Kindle Store.

Feel like this planned obsolescence should be illegal from both the rights of the consumer and from an environmental standpoint.

In my own life, I also observe fewer people willing to stand up for fat people, and more people willing to defend or explain away anti-fatness.

Like, solidarity with people who are fatter than oneself really feels like it has evaporated in a way that's both heartbreaking and frightening.

Another exhausting aspect: pervasive superthinness has everybody so activated that folks have really regressed in the ways they defend themselves.

There's much more "I'm not THAT fat" and "my bloodwork is perfect!" with no consideration for people who are fatter, chronically ill, etc.

Like, I just would love one day without this shit inserting itself into my life in the most judgmental, derailing ways.

I don't care what decisions others make about their looks. But I would like a day off, where I'm not forcibly reminded that so many people are sprinting away from looking like me.

I recently saw a new doctor who, before saying anything else, asked if I'd considered a GLP-1. "It might help take care of this," she said, and reached over and patted my belly.

It was behavior I hadn't experienced in years--the last huge wave being during the popularization of weight loss surgery.

It's in the tabloids, with hand-wringing about the sudden thinness of some celebrities. It's in the news, with a refreshed and emboldened judgment aimed at people who aren't shrinking. It's in podcasts & thinkpieces, where we use other people's bodies as props to make our own points about shrinking.

One of the more depressing aspects of the GLP-1 stuff right now is how utterly inescapable it is. Whatever you're doing, wherever you are, there are people shrinking at alarming rates, and endless discussion of said shrinking. There's seemingly no place to just *rest.*

It's everywhere on TV: cooking shows are hosted by chefs that get thinner by the day. Awards shows that have ALWAYS centered thinness now showcase emaciation. Reality TV stars make plotlines of massive weight loss, or attribute their sudden 100+ pound weight loss to lifestyle changes.

Someone had a seizure at the grocery store, and the cops showed up and just stood around watching. What was their purpose? Why did they come? It sure wasn't to help. I guess someone has to make sure nobody steals an apple during the fuss.
