I don’t generally think of myself as what I call a “101-level educator.” That’s the kind of person whose talent is bringing people who are brand new to a concept gradually through it. To be honest, I don’t have the patience or emotional energy to gently and patiently convince people that fat people are both…

An ongoing series about the privileges of thinness in a world filled with diet culture.
I wish I could just talk about loving your body. I really do, y’all. I would be perfectly content to post pretty photos and talk about why you should paint your stretch marks with glitter. (Which is totally worth doing, by the way.) But I can’t reconcile myself to staying safe and dainty and quiet….
People keep calling me brave for speaking out about fat hatred. I’m not any braver than any other fat person. Bravery is what’s required to exist while fat. Brave is trying methods designed to fail to shrink your body because everyone says you have to shrink, and failing, and trying again. Brave is your doctor…

When you look at boudoir photos on the internet, it’s easy to get discouraged at all the tight, toned, young bodies. To look at Pinterest, you’d think no one over 35 ever gets nekkid, or has photos taken unless they’re playing a supporting role to the young’uns or starring in an ad aimed at the retirement…
What would your life look like if you just…didn’t worry about what other people’s bodies looked like or were doing? What could you focus on if you didn’t feel the need to judge the clothing or body size or expression of the people walking past you in public? What might it look like if the…
