Meet Japanese Grumpy Cat, Who Is Even Grumpier Than The Original One
Meet Koyuki, the Scottish fold cat that is angrier than Grumpy Cat, and with whom Koyuki will no doubt battle one day for Internet supremacy. She has been hiding out for nine years in Yokohama, and now, as the hour for battle draws near, the only thing you need to remember is: “There can be only one!”

This is not a cat who is grumpy. This is a cat who is well and fully fed up.

anyone know of a good place for PLUS SIZE MENS CLOTHING? I’m seriously coming up blank here and id love some options here (for clothes at a reasonable price). Thanks!
@red3blog any hints?
Destination XL is the most reliable website, but they aren’t cheap. I’m kind of around the male version of an inbetweenie, and a bunch of stores that only carry straight sizes for men in their brick & mortar stores have expanded sizes online. The Gap family is good for that with Old Navy going up to a few pieces that are a generously sized 46" waist and 3X shirts. I usually wear their 2X jackets, too, which are very generously sized.
I’ve had some luck with Macy’s and Amazon as well, but YMMV, especially in higher sizes. They are worth a look, tho, as they often carry the same stuff as DXL, but at better prices. For brick & mortar stores, Casual Male, I think it is, has a wide selection, but aren’t cheap. K&G has been a great find for me as their size range runs quite high for a regular department store. Sadly, they closed their online store last year.

We’ve just received the news that Tai Shan will be participating in this year’s breeding season! Perhaps a little Tai in the fall? We’ll keep our fingers crossed.
Why does this panda look like he’s posing for an especially playful photo for his Tindr profile?

Let us be clear about something. Medical equipment that cannot accommodate fat bodies does not have to be that way. Fat bodies are not some divine mystery that human science cannot fathom. If the health care establishment cared to accommodate fat bodies, then fat bodies would be accommodated. It really is that simple. An medical industrial complex that denies access to fat bodies is not a natural phenomenon. It is a choice. And we should damn well respond to as such. A lot of oppression and marginalization tries to pass itself off as just how things are. Just something we have to accept. Bullshit. These things are choices. They are decisions. They are priorities revealed.
Case in point? Once it was “understood” that fat people cannot be anesthetized. Hell, a lot of doctors still think that today and I gather a lot of anesthesiologists are still allowed to not know how to treat fat patients. But when the health care establishment thought up the various organ mutilation and amputations marketed as weight loss surgery, you will not be surprised they figured out how to put a fat person under very quickly. Because it was never impossible. Just something they didn’t care to learn. Same as why they direct most research to be performed on white male patients. Because they don’t care to learn how things might effect women or people of color differently. They made the choice. Don’t let them pretend they didn’t.
im sorry i just don’t think you understand how expensive and fragile medical equipment actually is.
and if you’re just talking about regular accommodations in healthcare facilities if yall cant fit through a door you either need to do some soul searching or actually searching whats on your nutrition labels :)))
I’m sorry you’re an asshole who thinks they understand the world but doesn’t.
Medical equipment? DOESN’T GROW ON TREES. It is not a natural resource. People designed it and people manufactured it and their prejudices determined who it would accommodate and who it wouldn’t. There isn’t a magical forrest where we harvest MRI machines. Chairs with arms weren’t already in waiting rooms when the doctors got there. We don’t build hospitals around natural rock formations that just happen to look like exam tables with a limited weight requirement. Birth control pills aren’t excreted by faeries so there was no choice but to have them not work on women who weigh more than 160 pounds. Those were all decisions. Those are all choices. Just as was YOUR choice to pretend not to see those choices so you could huff and preen about how this is just how things are and CLEARLY no one understands that but your worthless ass.
Or maybe you do really think blood pressure cuffs and hospital gowns and the like are natural phenomena that coincidentally suit some medical needs and not others. In which case I guess you should do some soul searching. It’d probably be nice if you found one for a change.
We have the goddamn technology and ability. It is 100% stigma and bias towards fat bodies that hinders proper care and treatment. And that affects quality of care 100%.
There needs to be a shift in the medical world where fat people are seen as actual people and not fucking problems to be eliminated.
Also medical equipment is expensive but not as fragile as you think. Much of is it made so that thousands of people can use it in a day, unless it’s something that is supposed to be disposable because of exchange of fluids etc. But even then it needs to be durable. Medical equipment can accommodate fat people, it can be designed for that, it’s just easier to act like fat people are a burden then to take into account their needs when designing this shit. Which is bullshit.
