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. |
I would like to preface this by saying that I realize that some of this may not be “news” to some people. I purposely stay away from the news as much as possible. Honestly? It’s because I’m depressed enough as it is and I don’t need more to bring me down. [...]

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 [...]

I wasn’t sure how I wanted to write this. I knew I wanted to write about it, from the moment I had this conversation with her, but I just didn’t know how to approach it. I’ve decided to make it an open letter to my mother.
Mother,
My heart is breaking for you. This year has been [...]

Yesterday was my best friend’s (May) daughter’s (Hayley) birthday. As I’ve said before, my best friend and her family are like my own second family. And apparently the feeling is mutual, because Charlene (May’s 2nd daughter) said practically the same thing to me the other night.
While we were all out together, we ran into [...]

I’ll give you a minute to stop laughing….
Done?
Okay then.
Here’s the thing: as I said in the comments on my last post, I’m not very good at articulating my FA stance to people I know and love, let alone total strangers. Hubby is the only one that really knows how involved I am in FA, and [...]

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 [...]

Sitting in a doctor’s waiting room for two hours with three children ages 6, 7, and 11 is… interesting, to say the least. Especially when the 7 year old is a voracious reader and will read anything she can get her hands on. Books… magazines… health leaflets… bank promotions… I mean anything.
Little Miss [...]

Reading the comments on this post really got me thinking. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that having a “no-diet talk” policy is a good thing.
For a lot of us, the road to dieting is a road to crazy-ville. I know that’s true for me. Like Rachel [...]

Browsing the Fatosphere, I found this by Red No. 3. I understand why he has comments turned off *coughtrollscough* , but it’s times like this when I wish I could post a comment over there, even if it’s just to give him a written high-five!
I swear, it’s like he read my mind.
I’m going to wake [...]

Seeing as it’s Thanksgiving, and I’m an American… even though I’m not doing anything at all to celebrate the holiday today (you know… ‘cuz I live in England and all), I thought it would be a good idea to think of some things I’m thankful for. Given the mood I’ve been in today, I think [...]
