“I don’t see weight.”
– People who evidently don’t get how that sounds.

red3blog:
Fat shaming is so pervasive in our culture that frankly you can’t just use an image of a fat person with unspoken commentary and not expect it to be read as fat shaming. The problem isn’t fat people being too “sensitive”. The problem are all the people who feel entitled to fat hate who will smugly read that and not consider any other point. If you have another point,...

Do fat chicks ever have clean enough digestive tracks and buttholes for anal? Or is it always a poopy mess?
why the hell would it differ between “fat chicks” and “skinny chicks”? what even.
So fat chicks can’t properly clean themselves? Oh.

The nolose letter
bumsquash:
You may know that this perfectly civil and rational letter from nolose has been turned into yet another stupid tedious race fails in the on-line fat sphere.
I’m past caring about getting into the why’s and wherefores of it. Just to say it is indicative of the mental shape this movement is in.
It’s imperative that I make as complete a psychological break from it as I can.
I don’t...
Leaving Fat Acceptance and joining Fat Liberation...
fresafresca:
The truth is, FA on-line at least (and I think off-line too, my impression of NAAFA is that it’s similar in this regard) is very white and usually straight and cisgender (there of course, are exceptions, but I’m thinking of how it is in general). And with how it is generally, comes the attendant problems of unexamined white privilege, the fear of being called racist ABOVE ALL ELSE...

The "Movement"
I was briefly a member of a couple Facebook groups relating to fat acceptance today. It did not take long before I felt extremely uncomfortable with being there. I believe so strongly in fat acceptance and I feel really moved by the community of people I follow here, on twitter, and on the fatosphere feed, but I still really don’t trust the “Movement” side of fat acceptance.

How not to apologize!
“Gah. So, I guess I’m, like, supposed to be sorry about this now. I’m totally not going to apologize, but whatever. I GUESS I could have maybe not been an asshole, but I didn’t do anything wrong.
Ugh. Just MOVE ON already. I said I was sorry. See, this is why I have to be an asshole because I’m always under attack! Look, I’m gonna just wait a bit, delete all of...

I pretty much side-eye ‘allies’ even if I do like them personally. I am just waiting for them to fuck up and for their true colours to show……meh
No one should find that douchey in the least.. That’s an entirely fair response and if an “ally” can’t deal with it, then that’s them fucking up. I didn’t ask for my privileges but I can’t deny...

madgastronomer replied to your post: nolose
Who is saying this shit?
He who I’m disinclined to name because he’s stalking me already and doesn’t deserve the validation/acknowledgment/page views. Aka, Rusty Pitchfork.
But the post I linked to last night should give you a pretty good idea of who might post on their site that attack on nolose.
nolose
nolose has done more to affect positive change for fat people than most of us could ever dream of. They have been a vital community battling oppression of fat people and everyone who believes in fat liberation should be deeply grateful for the organization. Call them a “pathetic, shameless organization” because some of their members call you out fairly for racial insensitivity is...

I was involved and contributed to this Gigantic Fucking Racist Problem that is, for lack of better term, the “Stand4Kids” project. I feel like I need to address— not for acknowledgment or praise or to somehow excuse anything (it’s not excusable) but just like basic price-of-admission-for-being-a-not-actively-terrible-human-being shit.
Here goes.

An especially incisive observation in the “a response to white fat activism” letter I reblogged earlier is how so many recent marketing campaigns by the diet industry have been centered on African-American celebrities as paid spokespersons. This is no coincidence. I have no doubt that there are memos detailing the diet industry’s strategies for targeting...

Here is what we know about the murder of Trayvon Martin:
17 year old Trayvon Martin goes to stay with his father in a gated community in Sanford, Florida while serving a one-week suspension from his high school in Miami. The only reports suggest the suspension was for tardiness, but whatever it was for, it was just a high school suspension.
At some time after 7pm, Trayvon Martin is walking home...

Anonymous asked: Hi! I just wanted to say that I think it's a wonderful thing you're doing here. I think I'm going to show this blog to a friend who's really been struggling with their body because of all the societal pressure to be thin (I just hope she doesn't take it the wrong way because she really does view fat in a negative light). Actually, would you happen to have any advice on how...

An imagined conversation
Person 1: OMG! Did you see that video of Obama when he was a radical socialist student? Finally, his history of communist rhetoric is exposed!
Person 2: The what? Oh, you mean that video of 30 year old law student Obama being a 30-year old version of President Obama in his blue shirt and khakis? That was so awesome.
Person 1: No! Did you see what a vindictive race warrior he was? That rally was racist against white people!
Person 2: But, there were a bunch of white people around him in the video.
Person 1: Communists! It was class warfare!
Person 2: Um, I'm pretty sure they were calling on Harvard Law School to hire a black woman for their faculty. How is that class warfare? Do you think law schools shouldn't have WOC on their faculty?
Person 1: That's not the point. He was demanding that Harvard install radicals like Derrick Bell on his faculty.
Person 2: Bell was hired by Harvard in 1969. Why would Obama be demanding that in 1990?
Person 1: Obama HUGGED this racialist who wrote the horribly bigoted story, The Space Traders.
Person 2: He wrote that in 1993. Wait, do you think Obama is a time traveler?
Person 1: The story is filled with anti-Semitism!
Person 2: What?!? In the story, America is going to sell blacks to alien traders and the Jewish community stands in solidarity with the blacks offering all possible non-violent resistance. How is THAT supposed to be anti-Semitic?
Person 1: In the story, the Jewish community is dismissed as just wanting to avoid being scapegoats in the black people's absence.
Person 2: Dismissed by the people who wanted to sell all blacks to aliens. That's not the story being anti-Semitic. That's people in the story being anti-Semitic.
Person 1: AND the story shows that Obama will put his racialist ideology over America's economic recovery.
Person 2: In the story, America recovers economically by selling black people to aliens.
Person 1: Putting racial preferences over economic progress. Pure class warfare.
Person 2: (walks away sighing)
