I don’t know about you, but the winter’s a hard time for me. First, the holidays (stress and body-shaming, ack!) then January (stress and body-shaming, ack!) then February (stress and why-won’t-this-winter-end-already, ack!). I tend to go into a kind of web hibernation this time of year–I don’t blog nearly as much, not here or on [...]

I don’t like her: She’s obese.
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 [...]

Biscuits and Gravy
“Biscuits and gravy! Heh, I can’t believe she ordered it.” “Heh, I can. Heh, biscuits and gravy.” The worst part? Those biscuits were the consistency of spongy hockey pucks, and the gravy something between glue and edible. I picked at them, had maybe one bite, and any part of my appetite not killed by the [...]

Update from the Wintry North
Hi, all. First of all, I apologize for my scarcity. A lot’s been going on in Big Liberty-land, some of it good, some of it not-so-good, and lots with potential to go either way. I don’t usually blog about personals, but fat acceptance has been getting awfully personal for me, lately. It’s been on display [...]

What’s Your Anti-Diet Commercial?
Ah, the season of diets is upon us! There have been some particularly horrendous early contenders — like the one from Nutrisystem about how much better life is for those who’ve dieted away X lbs on Nutrisystem’s diet junk food. The common theme uniting all these commercials is to promulgate the belief that going on [...]

How To Be a Fat Novelist
Hi folks! I’ve been neglecting this blog of late due to exciting indications that my writing career is starting to gain some traction. Currently I’m in the midst of revising one novel and writing the next. With 100+ hours split between my day job and my (as yet) unpaid writing job, I don’t have much [...]

Finished the First Book!
I may have mentioned it before, but I’ve been working diligently on a novel this winter and spring (which is part of the reason my blogging volume has dropped a bit). It’s hard science fiction, kind of sociological science fiction but also sports some new technologies and takes place in a different solar system with [...]

Not Dead
Hi folks, I just wanted to give you an update (for those who were wondering where I was!). I’m not dead, just very busy with a few other projects right now. I’m very close to finishing up my book (just two chapters left…squee!) and I recently got an academic article published. I’ve also been preparing [...]

How Dare You Be a FAT Girl Scout?
One of my most vivid anti-fat memories from childhood was the summer I attended a Girl Scouts day camp. It was my first camp experience, and it was filled with the smell of rotting pine needles (lovely), swimming in a warm forest lake (even lovelier), and learning how to build fires and recognize poisonous plants. [...]

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to all my readers! It’s been quite a year. I’m not as against resolutions as some, though I believe the patented New Year’s Resolution [TM] is a gigantic marketing scheme, meant to frighten or shame you in order to sell various methods to achieve eternal Youth, Beauty, and Goodness. The Annual Drumbeat [...]
