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. |
Now for the REAL reason I went on the GMTV website in the first place.
LK Today
Technically it’s Lorraine Kelly’s own show, tacked on at the end of the GMTV airtime. Again, this is something I don’t normally watch, but today I happened to catch the very last segment while having my breakfast and waiting for [...]

I started out with the idea of blogging about one particular thing, but when I went looking for clips of that one thing, I found something else that I hadn’t seen. So this will be a two-part post.
Part One: Georgia Davis
From the video description: Georgia Davis weighs 33 stone [462 lbs] and is only [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

From the No Shit, Sherlock Files (or as fillyjonk would say, Another Load From The Duh Truck)… this piece that is telling every fat person what they already knew.
Reported discrimination based on weight has increased 66% in the past decade, up from about 7% to 12% of U.S. adults, says one study, in the journal [...]

I am so mind-blowingly horrified right now that I’m having a hard time stringing together a coherent sentence. So bear with me, please.
As an American woman living in the UK, I will be the first one to admit that I’m way out of touch with the American media. I see snippets [...]

I hadn’t actually meant to do a running commentary on British television shows, but I’m noticing more and more shows that really speak to me as a Fat Woman and a Woman Seeking Self Acceptance that I just can’t help it.
So class, today’s topic is Channel 4’s series How To Look Good Naked. I have [...]
