The Fat Liberation feed
Welcome to Big Liberty! As a service to fat bloggers of every political stripe, we’ve put together the Fat Liberation feed. Originally started by fat libertarians, we recognized the need for a more politically balanced viewpoint of fat politics than allowed by the current status quo.
We want to stress anti-elitism on this feed: we don’t think we’re smarter than you, though we do request that all blogs on this feed have a no diet talk, no WLS policy. We want to hear your opinions, we want to know why you think what you think, without fear of being thrown off the feed without warning, unless you engage in trolling. We also don’t mind posts that are ‘off-topic;’ life isn’t always on-topic, and important ideas which can apply to the fat liberation movement aren’t always ideas that just have to do with fat, but apply more generally.
How do I request to add my blog to the feed?
Just comment on this page with a link to your blog, and a sentence about why you would like to be included.
How do I add the feed to my blog?
There are several tutorials out there for adding RSS feeds to blogs. Usually you need to go into your dashboard or page layout settings, and configure some kind of RSS widget to point to the Fat Liberation URL: http://feeds.feedburner.com/FatLiberation
Does this feed have rules?
Yes. Anyone engaging in trolling will not be allowed to remain on the feed, regardless of how long they’ve been on it.

“We want to hear your opinions, we want to know why you think what you think, without fear of being thrown off the feed without warning.”
Perhaps this section needs editing in light of recent events. (If people are going to join the feed, they deserve to know the truth upfront, not after the fact.)
True. So amended.
Hey there! I tried to send an email to the address listed above, because I’d love for my Fat Liberation Theology blog to be added to the feed, but my email bounced back!
Sorry, Katie! The email address doesn’t work anymore…gah. Dang gmail. I should just set up my own server sometime.
I’ll add you to the feed. Welcome!
Katie, do you mind posting a link to your blog in a comment on this page? Thanks!!
great, thanks!
I thought my name would link to it but apparently not
Here it is: http://kataphatic.wordpress.com.
BigLiberty, I would love to be put on the Fat Liberation feed; I have been recently rejected by the Fat O Sphere for some reason although I do not focus on trolling or anything negative (nothing weight loss related either).
I need more people to read my blog, as it has so far been a wasted project. Yeah, I’m wierd, I got links to ‘wierd’ websites about ‘wierd’ stuff; but I do put a warning above those links. I also like to go off topic and talk about videogames or the like because I am a power gamer.
I just wish I had people to share my own desire to aid human rights efforts and my ideas on how to make life better for fat people. It’s just tough, everybody is so willing to chew me up and spit me out just because I am a fat admirer/fat ‘fetishist’.
My blog is at:

I hope my blog is good enough to be put alongside such an amazing blog such as yours, BigLiberty… I can’t top anything that is written here, it hits the nail on the head so many times!
There,
I added you. Anything trollish or offensive (meaning bigoted, I don’t consider admiration or so-called fetishes bigoted unless it has a harmful intent) isn’t allowed on the feed. Going off topic is okay, though it is the Fat Liberation feed, so there should be talk about fat, occasionally!
