You are a New Left Hipster, also known as a MoveOn.org liberal, a Netroots activist, or a Daily Show fanatic. You believe that if we really want to defend American values, conservatives must be exposed, mocked, and assailed for every fanatical, puritanical, warmongering, Constitution-shredding ideal for which they stand.

You are a total feminist. This doesn't mean you're a man hater (in fact, you may be a man).You just think that men and women should be treated equally. It's a simple idea but somehow complicated for the world to put into action. |
Fatshionista-er caramel_deluxe posted this yesterday, and I keep going back to it… because it just makes me smile. I don’t even LIKE rap all that much, but I can’t help but grin every time I watch this.
SO… I figure if I’m getting so much enjoyment out of this, I may as well pass the happy [...]

Why oh why is it that some people see the words “Fat Acceptance” and automatically assume that what we’re promoting is sitting on the couch all day, eating baby-flavored donuts and Mickey Dee’s, and very little else?
The most recent post over at Eat a Cheeseburger got me thinking about this again, but it’s come up [...]

Answer: I was raised by my grandmother.
I started thinking about this after reading a post that The Rotund has up on her LiveJournal*, dealing with a blatantly sexist comment.
Here’s the part of my comment that really got me thinking:
But then, I was raised to believe that I was just as good as any man. I [...]

Quite a few blog posts have had me thinking about this. One of which I have to admit, I sparked. And because we’re not a monolithic group, because we’re made up of many different people from many different walks of life who have many different personal goals regarding FA, I decided I needed to be [...]

Yeah, apparently now the quacks that brought us the (nonexistent) Obesity Epidemic are now finding “obesity” in infants.
As a mother of 4, this totally pisses me off. For one thing, for thousands of years it’s been known that a fat baby usually equals a healthy baby. Obviously not all of the time, but a good [...]

Tuesday, Lindsay wrote about the lack of oomph in the Fatosphere lately:
Whatever the case… things have been slow lately. The fatosphere isn’t nearly as busy as it used to be. Or maybe it’s just that i’m not seeing it – it’s happening somewhere where i’m not.
I’d noticed the same thing. That’s partly why I’ve been [...]

As Sandy reported last night, Gateshead City Council is joining the Fatphobia Brigade and thinking up the most ridiculous measures they can think of to fight OMG TEH FATZ!!!11!!!ELEVENTY-ONE!!. I’ll get to what I think about that in a moment.
But what really scares me? Gateshead is the next city over from me. Yup – I [...]

That was the last sentence of a comment on Fillyjonk’s promotion of Stacy Bias’ The Fat Experience Project. I’d already read about it at The Rotund, but I was responding specifically to a comment made by FJ herself.
Please check out the project and send in your stories — I want to see Shapelings represented here. [...]

As most of you undoubtedly already know by now, Joy Nash has another installment of the Fat Rant series out there. And it is AWESOME.
But it got me to thinking. Cuz see… Joy is the reason I found the Fatosphere in the first place. I found her video, went to her [...]

In which I might get a bit rambly…
I’ve been kind of… “out of it”… mentally the last couple of days. I’ve been reading, but I’m having a hard time really gathering my thoughts in a coherent manner. I’m going to give it a shot, though. But be warned: I might go off on a tangent. It happens.
I keep going back and [...]
