Caleb Tomas Luna is a fat-disabled-bipoc-queer-neuroqueer-femme-workingclass-autistic-dancing-anticolonilaist-tejanx (10 labels) individual who is very fat, very queer, and very angry. What's he angry about? Well, it's that you don't think he's a beautiful goddess worthy of praise. He's part of a wider (get it!?) network of fat activists who are challenging basically anything and everything, and also somehow blaming it on "fatphobia" and/or coloniliasm.
You may know him from his many appearances on r/fph way back in the day. Since then, he's cooled off a bit, but he's still pumping out nonsense.
Most of what he posts is intentional tenderqueer word salad nonsense. Academic speak jerking off designed to sound smarter and more impactful than it actually is.
Dancing
Caleb is a professional dancing student. He's not a professional dancer, as he likes to pretend, because professional implies being paid. If you can find the videos, please add them.Tragic Backstory
Caleb had a botched surgery when he was a child. That is sad, and not his fault. His re-telling of it is extremely self aggrandizing and fits into a continual theme you'll see throughout his writing. Mainly: fat bodies good, everything else is designed to kill "Black and brown bodies".Instead of getting his shit together, he is determined to be proud, fat, and in pain for the rest of his life. By the way, he was so fat from his childhood diet that his body broke - literally child abuse. His response to it is naturally to eat more food:
in sixth grade, my body broke. i remember hearingfeeling the crack. this was common with/to fat kids, they told me. i had one surgery to repair it, and then another to line my surgeons pockets. 11 years old n just a poor fat brown body to cut open, bleed for money.
because the second was unnecessary, my body broke again—exactly like the first time—and another surgery was performed—exactly like the first one. and then another, as damage control, to keep my body from breaking further, maybe; melded my right knee together because my left leg died, is the language they used. my body never moved the same. my knee doesnt bend to fit a bicycle pedal; my hips won’t do the dances of our people my mom taught me. i stopped growing upwards at 13; i’ve only grown out.
they stripped me to my underwear and took pictures of me from every angle, sent me a nutritionist to fix my body. they didn’t try to fix the medical industrial complex that experiments on, profits off and then kills Black and brown bodies. they didnt reprimand surgeons for performing medically unnecessary surgeries that permanently alter childrens bodies for profit. told me to switch to diet soda; eat fewer burgers, the only thing in life that felt any good.
i’m no stranger to pain—it logically follows having an asymmetrical stance, no matter the size of the body. but last week she wouldnt leave me. i wondered if i should see someone, but i know what doctors do to us. they ignore us, they pathologize us, they break us, they kill us—either purposefully or thru neglect—and then tell the public it is our fault. so convincingly so that when i entered a program to become a doctor of my own at a prestigious university, trying to find meaning in embodying fatness, the only entry point most faculty had to my research is: “but what about health?” as if health is self-evident, as if it is neutral, as if it is a safe pursuit for poor people of color.
but i know about health. i know what it costs. i don’t want to be healthy. i want to be free.

Caleb's Sex Life
fatty chasers, mostly. what did you expect? If he was getting laid on a regular basis, he'd brag about slapping his gunt into another gunt and making a valdez-sized sperm spill.update: he has herpes now
Word Salads
This is probably my favorite part about Caleb: he posts these pseudo-academic, highly intentionally phrased word salads in which he tries to fit as many buzzwords in as possible. He's written a few articles, but they're white noise.In this video, Caleb and a bunch of other whales say fat people should have been put first for covid care instead of people who had a better chance, and also use the circular logic that more fat people dying is because of less care, instead of like, you know, obesity being a massive comorbidity. Honestly, I find the whole "how do we decide who gets to live" problem incredibly tragic, but a sane response would be: Oh! Maybe being fat has serious risks! I should figure out how to reduce my covid-bomb lard!
As best I can tell, he's on a constant race to form an ideology all about how he is extremely oppressed. There's a HUGE (pun intended) trove of posts to go through - if any of you see the one where he brags about not showering for a week, please post it.
