you could probably use a fit-tested respirator to filter out those particles!
I think a P100 filter should be able to take care of your problem. there’s also the added bonus of COVID/insert pathogen protection since airports and airplanes are a leading cause of super-spreaders

that it’s an artificially engineered “crisis” by the medical industrial complex to justify modern day discrimination and refuse to provide healthcare to fat people, Black people, etc
podcast episode on this
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
and the consensus used to be that race science is a great idea. great job in rebranding that in fat phobia!
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
you’re what we call in the fat community one of the “good fats”. just know that what you’re promoting is pseudoscience and not conducive to “health” whatever that means
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
what you’re doing here is mansplaining science by refusing to keep up to date on the recent research that’s only recently starting to make it acceptable in the scientific literature what’s been known all along by indigenous people and survivors of famine. that is that food scarcity doesn’t cause weight loss, it causes systemic retention of fat to survive life threatening scenarios.
in the epigenetics field as well it is well known that famine trauma propagates through generations, which is exemplified by Irish people tending towards larger sizes on average.
you’re also idolizing medics and the medical field by not acknowledging that they’re humans just like us and therefore not devoid of biases. the field is extremely white and man-centric, therefore refusing to accept any science that doesn’t benefit their class interests. eugenics is common practice in medicine nowadays, you can see it in the way fatness is criminalized and punished through violence by most doctors.

Belly of the Beast by Da’Shaun L. Harrison, Fearing the Black Body the Racial Origins of Fatphobia by Sabrina Strings.
a podcast on the intersection of fatphobia and eugenics I recommend is Maintenance Phase. on BMI, on the obesity “epidemic”
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
ah yes, promoting calorie counting and weighing food, the famously not disordered gymbro eating patterns. the article actually says that calorie counting can cause more harm than good
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
reading past the mansplainer explaining the headline to me, what it actually says is that calorie counting can be more harmful than good (which is a very mild take and an under-estimation)
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I think the initial assumption that a “healthy” universal weight even exists is rooted in eugenics. oh, and also the attempts by the medical industrial complex to standardize it and enforce it through violence against fat people
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
there’s no obesity epidemic. it’s all eugenics to the core
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
it’s embarrassing that people still use eugenics calculators in scientific discussions
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
too bad human beings aren’t engines huh?
the fake claim that most people even need to lose weight actually derives from the eugenics movement. for more information I recommend the book Belly of the Beast by Da’Shaun L. Harrison.
if you’re burning more calories than you eat that’s called starving yourself and it leads to eating disorders and long-term organ damage. stop spreading harmful misinformation
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
if you don’t starve yourself and eat whenever you’re hungry you actually gain less weight than being on a diet

great, now enjoy that 10 times worse when genAI is used to make skeleton crews an even bigger issue and increase worker exploitation
- Comment on The Generative AI Con. 2 weeks ago:
it’s called having a conscience, you might wanna try it
- Comment on The Generative AI Con. 2 weeks ago:
except genAI has proven no purpose. this is like saying “look at how many jobs bankers replaced! we just used to eat for free, now we have to work our entire lives for it or starve!”
- Comment on why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles? 2 weeks ago:
I actually agree with bigots that we are dangerous as trans people (to cisheteromormative society). the caveat is that we shouldn’t give a fuck what they think since conforming to a violent society doesn’t benefit trans people. it’s why marginalizing pedophiles doesn’t make child rape go away, because they’re just a scapegoat for all the normal people and parents without any sexual attraction to their victims abusing children because of the power hierarchy
- Comment on why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles? 2 weeks ago:
idk, there’s some truth to what you’re saying but I don’t think all those TERF women wanna abuse women’s spaces. it’s just socially beneficial for them to hate us because society encourages anti-queer violence. and that’s the part that puts women’s spaces in danger, being a minority. same for any marginalized identity
- Comment on why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles? 2 weeks ago:
hard pill to swallow, but anyone allowing pedophiles to be treated as an underclass is part of falling for anti-queer propaganda and equating being weird with being dangerous to society. just because someone has a weird paraphilia that isn’t forced on someone else who can’t consent then it’s nobody’s business. the only way to eliminate uncomfortable attractions is thought police or installing a chip in everyone’s brains.
it’s why queer spaces turn fashy as soon as the furries, the neopronouns and the trans man lesbians aren’t welcome anymore
- Comment on why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles? 2 weeks ago:
it’s all part of the childist propaganda that says only people from outside of the family could ever hurt children when reality says otherwise. hence the church calling themselves God’s family, priests being called father, paternalistic bs like that

I need a source proving white people can experience racism. I bet you have any
- Comment on Ancestry dot com 3 weeks ago:
then I’m proud of being a racist by pointing out how white people can’t experience racism since this system was created by us to put us at the top of the hierarchy.
this is literally scientific consensus in sociology, claiming otherwise makes you look like the climate change deniers that say the climate is naturally warming up.
I’d also like to mention you haven’t cited a single academic source to prove me wrong
- Comment on Ancestry dot com 3 weeks ago:
how can I be racist against my own race? are you okay?
- Comment on Ancestry dot com 3 weeks ago:
please define racism, who created it, when it was created and why it was created
- Comment on Ancestry dot com 3 weeks ago:
LMAO racism against… white people? when did we ever experience systemic oppression based on being white?
- Comment on Ancestry dot com 3 weeks ago:
I think it’s a way for white Americans to distance themselves from the cognitive dissonance of being a settler by adopting an “embrace, extend, extinguish” strategy towards any term or cultural signifier popularized by Black people
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
you can’t be racist against white people since we invented racism
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
more like white Americans
