#shit chat#disordered eating cw#how to. politely ask my housemate to stop fucking telling me about her diet progress#she's trying to lose weight cause she's a musician & her band is traveling to this big thing at the end of the month#by doing really strict by-weight portion control and it does NOT seem healthy#she's trying to get back to her 'italy weight' and like. girl. u went to italy in high school 10 years ago & biked everywhere for a month#if you are at that same weight a decade later without exercise by simply making yourself eat less food there is a problem!#that is not aspirational that's horrifying!!! no u don't look hot in your gig outfit from 2013 you look disproportionately skinny!#so i gotta sit her down at some point and be like listen. ur an adult ur gonna do what you do#& i know ur industry puts insane pressure on women to look a certain way on stage.#but as someone with a history of disordered eating i will not cheer you on and support your 'progress'#and quite honestly it makes me uncomfortable to even talk about it and see your stupid little diet scale on the kitchen counter every day!!#i strongly associate weight loss with poor health for a number of reasons#and firmly believe that weight gain is cool and sexy and that everyone should be less afraid of being actually!!!#it was a struggle w/ dysmorphia for a while but putting on some chub is one of the best things i've been able to do for my body as an adult#i love my squishy tummy and hearing you obsess about having a perfectly flat (ie concave) abdomen daily is deeply saddening!!!#bleh. it's hard. i feel like i should gently intervene but also i do not want to get involved bc it's more than i can handle rn#*less afraid of being fat actually

Fats Waller was jazz musician, composer, performer, an actor, and he had a memorable “joie de vivre”. Behind the piano, he could work out songs at a very fast pace. He must have composed 400 hundred or more. He sold many of them when he had financial difficulties. An imposing figure with facial expressions while he was singing. He played what could be an earlier version of the jazz we know today called Stride style. It involves playing a syncopated rhythm with your left hand, included the bass, while your right hand is improvising and playing the melody. We owe him songs such as “Ain’t Misbehavin” and “Honeysuckle rose”. He was extremely popular during his short life, he died at 39 of pneumonia. I hope some day, we’ll have a movie about his life and his accomplishment. Jazz owes him a great deal.
Fats Waller était un musicien de jazz, compositeur, homme de scène, acteur et il avait une joie de vivre légendaire. Derrière son piano, il pouvait composer des chansons à un rythme très rapide. Il doit en avoir composé 400 ou plus. Il en vendait plusieurs quand il avait des difficultés financières. Un homme imposant physiquement, il aimait faire des expressions faciales quand il chantait. Il jouait ce qu’on pourrait appeler une version précédente du jazz contemporain appelé Stride style. Il s’agit de garder le rythme de la main gauche, incluant la bass , pendant que la main droite s’occupe de l’improvisation et de la mélodie. Nous lui devons des chansons comme « Ain’t Misbehavin », « Honeysuckle Rose ». Il fut extrêmement populaire durant sa vie courte, il est mort à 39 ans de pneumonie. J’espère qu’un jour, on aura droit à un film sur sa vie et ses accomplissements. Le jazz lui doit beaucoup.

idr who it was but somebody I reblogged a post on a while back in which I dumped a bunch of random personal stuff in the tags if you see this this is for you 🙏🙏 also I’m lying I’m just a yapper
#I love turning tumblr into my personal diary knowing this will probably just get buried in the annels of my blog#I’m sure that’s not how you spell that but wtv#anyways grrrr I love men I love figuring out my type#I’ve dated three guys who all coincidentally happen to be relatively tall skinny athletic types#not an intended pattern btw it just happened like that#but now I am experiencing the true joy of variety#gahhhh I love body fat I love guys with body fat I am sick in the head for men who are squishy and have tummies and ass#it’s not my fault that kinda guy just happens to be the center snare in drumline it’s the curse of band kid I guess#holy shit I need to stop dating people in my band actually Jesus Christ it’s two already. see but like or I could collect the set#and go for all different instruments or categories#I’ve got brass (trombone) and woodwind (tenor sax) down#so like percussion?? mayhaps#our drumline is exclusively made up of three types of people for some reason#a) every girl is legit cool a bit masc and definitely gay (I know two personally and a third that fits the bill) and very skilled#b) very much oddball types who nobody in the band gets along with because they actively make people uncomfortable (hard to describe)#c) most grey-sweatpants straight guy you’ve ever seen who just happens to be reserved n semiattractive. looking at two of them in particula#(section leader and center snare specifically) third category hits hard#not my fault the center snare is stupid pretty and reserved and kinda squishy <- on the floor drooling#and like. a good snare#idk what happened to me but as soon as I became a musician people being able to play well became VERY attractive to me#curse of band kid once again#I’m genetically predisposed to it it’s fine <- raised by two divorced music majors#in particular an alto sax and the center snare are two guys that stick as me having a moment of like oh wow they’re *good*. haha that’s hot#alto sax is a killer jazz player and I’m psyched I get to trio with him and one of the drumline girls (my favorite tgirl fr)#although they’re both way better than I am so I’m really the weak link here#which is a hard asf sell given that they want me on bass <- I am a decent-to-mid rhythm guitarist at best#but wtv. everything I do I do for jazz#the most personal information I will likely ever admit to (I am lying I will vaguely yap about myself all day long)

During Fats Waller era of the 1920s and 1930s, he was one of the most popular performers and pianists, reaching high levels of popularity in the U.S. and Europe.
In 1927, he signed with Victor Records, the company he would work with for the rest of his life. Some of the many hits he was responsible for include "Ain't Misbehaving", "Squeeze Me", and "Honesuckle Rose."
In 1926, his skills as a performer were noticed so much, that Al Capone's henchmen kidnapped Waller at gunpoint after a performance in Chicago. It turned out it was as surprise guest at a young Capone's birthday party at the Hawthorne Inn (Capone was 27 at the time). As the story goes, they party raged for 3 days straight, Waller earning thousands of dollars as tips for song requests.

En 1926, sus habilidades como artista fueron tan notadas que los matones de Al Capone secuestraron a Waller a punta de pistola después de una presentación en Chicago. Resulta que era el invitado sorpresa a la fiesta de cumpleaños de un joven Al Capone en el Hawthorne Inn (Capone tenia 27 años en ese entonces). La fiesta duró tres días seguidos, Waller terminó ganando miles de dólares como propina por tocar las canciones que se le pedían.
