Today I was subject to such blatant, naked sizist hate that I’m still struggling to process its rationalization (that is, its lack of rationalization). My very good friend is visiting my workplace for a couple weeks, to help train and be trained. Though I’m very lucky to work mostly from home, twice a month I [...]

It’s the Little Things…
I was reading up on lower back exercises, when I had the distinct pleasure of coming across this little gem: Circled text: In addition to imparting strength to your core back muscles, this exercise, will also keep a tab on your waistline! Isn’t that a great incentive to do this lower back exercise, specially for [...]

Universally Loathed
So many intelligent people can’t comprehend the genetics of size, which I find both astoundingly disappointing and rather nauseating. If I hear one more time — just one more time — that the size of my body implies I’ve got some bevy of psychological issues, whoever makes that claim will be told in no uncertain [...]

The Mia Freedman Debacle, or, Why Moral Panics Need Strawmen
Bri King of Fat Lot of Good, fellow Fat Acceptance blogger and general advocate, recently came under fire as she found herself daring to push back against a so-called body image activist allowing virulently anti-fat comments on a recent post about feederism. Bri has since been asked to comment for articles in several Australian news [...]

Quick Hit: Mika Brzezinski Thinks Americans too Fat, Answer – Higher Taxes
Here’s a quick hit (h/t NewsBusters.org): Food Fight: MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski Advocates Tax on Meat, Soft Drinks, and People Who Consume Them SCARBOROUGH: Now when we say ‘sugar,’ do you mean coke, cocaine, or is that code for sugar with Paterson, or is it actual sugar?

Unfriending the Bigots
Ah, Facebook bigotry. Guaranteed to be even more awkward than your ordinary brand of internet bigotry, as it usually involves family, friends, classmates, or coworkers. I recently got into a bit of an exchange with a person I’ve met all of once, who thought it necessary to masturbate his fat-hate onto my Facebook wall. Seriously, [...]

Good Morning AMeMeMeeerica
What is Good Morning America’s obsession with this woman? And why was she put on today’s show …. two days after the show with Marianne? Also, why was she given a face-to-face interview, an intimate, softball, cushy interview at that? She spent her time promoting fat myth after fat myth (obesity causes people to lose [...]

No Fat People in Concentration Camps
Oh, how many times us fat activists have seen trotted out this tired platitude: “Don’t you know, there were no fat people in concentration camps?” It’s a brilliantly ignorant phrase, at once loaded with misconceptions about fat and about the nature of concentration camps, all while insulting the experience of those who actually had to [...]

The Fat-Hate Troll in the Livingroom
I’m writing this in response to a heartbreaking post on RandomQuorum. I was just going to leave a comment, but really, this hits too close to home for me to be able to leave a comment of any kind of reasonable length. As background, the author of the post is going through a tough time [...]

Not Sorry for MeMe Roth
If you’ve been reading about the recent irrational statements by MeMe Roth like I have, you are likely not surprised. MeMe Roth has been featured on news shows as an “expert” on obesity, since she purportedly has a fat family and is herself thin (and conventionally attractive and young enough to appeal to the talking [...]
