Ah, friends, I want to tell you about the joys of loving your body and eating good food and escaping from the endless torture of dieting…but I am mightily tired, and also completed distracted by the fact that I got my promotion! Yay! (I got the promotion, despite the fact that weight bias runs rampant [...]
I hope you’ll forgive my lack of content, but today is Bradon’s and my three year wedding anniversary. In celebration of happy fatties in love, I’ll point you to the Old Museum of Fat Love (which includes an entry for Bradon and I) and the New Museum of Fat Love. Because love, sex and attraction [...]
(Gah! I don’t know why this didn’t post last night. Eh…pretend it’s still Tuesday, okay? Sorry!) In part because I’ve been thinking about it for the past few weeks, and in part because I want the opportunity to direct your attention to Lesley’s brilliant post on How Not to Be a Boorish, Body-Policing Jerk, let’s [...]
The oxblood socks are continuing apace. Now that you can see that there is, in fact, a pattern, I should mention that I am knitting Jeannie Cartmel’s Magic Mirror (Ravelry links) socks. I spent a long time poking around Ravelry, looking for the perfect socks for this oh-so-special yarn. I had quite a list going [...]

I’ve been doing this body acceptance thing for a while, and I sometimes forget (to my shock and dismay) that everyone isn’t on board with loving their bodies and eating the food that they love. It can be a bit jarring when I leave the relatively protected spaces of the fatosphere and go back into [...]
(First, I have to say how warmed and humbled I am by my enthusiastic welcome back to blogging. Something has gone screwy with WordPress, and my comments are not being emailed to me as I’ve requested, so most of Tuesday was spent feeling a little sad that I’d come back to blogging and that no [...]
I’ve been a clotheshorse since I was old enough to have opinions on clothes. My taste in clothes has always tended toward the loud, outlandish, and improbable – my mother would complain about the various getups in which I would traipse off to school, saying that they looked more like costumes than outfits. My mother [...]
