From Binary Subverter
You are human. You are worthy of respect. You deserve to be treated with the same dignity as anyone else. There is nothing inherently wrong with your gender. You are not broken, you are not disgusting, you do not deserve to be hurt.
You’ve been brought up and live in a world that’s designed to erase and demonize your existence,...

This is really helpful. I give up so easily on things as I expect to be amazing at the first attempt. Simone de Beauvoir talked about it a little as well in Second Sex, and that also really helped!

My biggest regret ever is not controlling my sugar intake. I like sweet food and drinks and I could not live a day without at least eating something sweet. Never thought I could get Diabetes this young.

If you’re tempted to balk at this perspective, replace “body” with “gender” or “sexuality”. Sound familiar?

Tumblr Threading Fail!
Woke up to Facebook messages from people indicating they thought the title of this post was something *I* was saying. And, from the snippets of notes (not reflected in the posts when I click over to see the reblog) it looks like a few people on Tumblr thought the same.
Given my own fatness and my general lack of patience over the whole “acceptable fat” concept, it’s also kind of...

I highly suggest you read this post.
In other words, “it’s only OK to have self-esteem if I don’t think you’re gross.” Also, lol at someone who’s “several pounds overweight” telling actually fat people to stop being fat. SEVERAL POUNDS, YOU GUYS. Also also, thanks for the hat tip, Jori :D

One thing I long for more of is exploration of blowjobs as dominance and not submission. Our society really does color the act of giving the blowjob as submissive. In the English language we even say you are “giving” it as if you are...

I need these dresses in my life. →
They say they’ll do makeovers of a base garment for $75… I wonder if that applies to fatty sizes. I also wonder if I’ve got enough scraps to do this myself because if I’m going to go through all the damn trouble of finding a base dress to work on, well, hell.
Looks like I have a new sewing project.
