That resolution of yours is a load of horseshit. This is the age of sex positivity, body positivity, and hashtag MeToo. It’s Lizzo’s world, Finn; we’re all just living in it. Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t have dessert.

In the cases of Lizzo, Anna O’Brien, and Angelina Duplisea, they were objecting to fat people receiving media attention without performing a pursuit of weight loss or expressing a deep and abiding shame about their appearances. Simply put, they don’t want to look at us. And if they have to, they certainly don’t want to see us depicted neutrally, sexually, or joyfully.

My movement is my movement. When all the dust has settled on the groundbreaking-ness, I’m going to still be doing this. I’m not going to suddenly change. I’m going to still be telling my life story through music. And if that’s body-positive to you, amen. If that’s feminist to you, amen. If that’s pro-black to you, amen. Because ma’am, I’m all of those things.

Ich hatte mich immer darauf gefreut, alt zu werden, und das auch überall lauthals verkündet. Seit den Heldenanfängen hatte ich eine seltsame Sehnsucht nach dem Jenseits-Davon gehabt, mich auf Partys zielsicher neben Leute aus meiner Elterngeneration gesetzt und mein Alter auf Anfrage eher hoch- als runtergerechnet.
Womit ich nicht gerechnet hatte, war das Dazwischen, die uneindeutige, demütigend lange Zeit zwischen Fräuleinwunder und Lebenswerk. Denn das ist es, wofür der Pop keine Toleranz hat. Für Frauen, die ein kleines bisschen alt sind und nicht mehr ganz jung. So wie der Pop auch Frauen wie Beth Ditto und Lizzo feiert, als dickes Feigenblatt einer anorektischen Kultur, durchschnittliche mitteldünne Frauen mit runden Schultern und Hüften aber nicht mal mit der Zange angefasst.

That’s because they’re obsessed with being skinny. They think it means you’re better at life, which is stupid and rude to everyone who isn’t. Also, Lizzo is way better at singing and dancing and performing and being confident and pretty than basically everyone, and she’s not small.” “Yeah,” I say. “Totes.

So much power. So much confidence. Confidence—that was another item on the list of traits the modern woman is supposed to exude. Not vanity, not Kardashian bluster, but a deep fearlessness, Lizzo Vibes, Beyoncé Power. Big Dick Energy.

About Damn Time” by Lizzo, yes, she’s brilliant. I love that song; I love all her songs.’ Maggie nodded. ‘Me too, she’s like a breath of fresh air and I think we should all be more Lizzo.

He sighed. ‘Taylor, Rihanna, Lizzo.’ He pointed to the three chickens in her lap. ‘That’s Lady Gaga and Britney over there. And this is Selena trying to climb on your head.’ ‘What?!’ The laugh that burst out of her mouth startled the chickens and they flew up in a puff of feathers. Jeanie doubled over in a fit of giggles. ‘You named your chickens after pop stars?’ she wheezed.

He ran a finger over one of the fluffy heads in her lap. ‘Very fancy.’ ‘Do they have names?’ Logan’s cheeks blazed red, and he ran a hand through his hair. ‘Uh ... yeah.’ Jeanie waited. ‘And?’ He sighed. ‘Taylor, Rihanna, Lizzo.’ He pointed to the three chickens in her lap. ‘That’s Lady Gaga and Britney over there. And this is Selena trying to climb on your head.

It was a well-established fact that anyone who misquoted Lizzo was going straight to hell, and so it was only right she do what she could to save her sister from such a terrible fate.

If you feel like a girl then you real like agirl
Do your thing, run the whole damn world
