Nuance in eating, nuance in bodies, nuance in elections?

My clients and I often end up talking about nuance. Can anyone be 100% healthy or 100% unhealthy?  Does someone have to love their body all the time to be body positive? Can you really know if there's a right or wrong choice here?


Dieting always felt reassuring because of the way it was black and white. Good food/bad food. Calories in/calories out.


Body liberation has been beautiful because of the nuance.


That's the approach I'm leaning into when it comes to the election.


Do I love Kamala Harris? No. Do I think she's going to do great things for all bodies? No. Do I think she'll be better than Trump. Absolutely. 


As Aurora Levins Morales says, “We on the Left are not choosing a leader. We’re choosing an opponent.”



Do the knock. Monster Mash for democracy. Seed the Vote.
Image of 4 silly monsters doing "the knock" for Seed the Vote. Hard to explain...it will make more sense when you check out the video.

It's because I believe that it will be easier to organize for body liberation under Democratic power that I made this completely absurd Monster Mash video for Seed the Vote with my friend Eli Conley (and others!).


If you have any ability to get to a swing state, or to make phone calls, or to donate, Seed the Vote will hook you up. I really love this organization, and it's not too late to get involved.


Let's do this,

Talia
