Fat Women In Art

June 21st, 2010

Here’s an email that I got from BFDiva Mary! She found a very cool statue out in the wild: So, a long while back – I am hoping it was one year, but fear it may be two! – you had a bit of a series on BFD about fat women in art – Venus […]

Drop Dead Diva, Fat-Positive Television, And Ricky Gervais (Again)

June 11th, 2010

If you’ve been reading for a while, you know of my conflicted feelings about Ricky Gervais. But, the problem is, he keeps hating on fat people and making it more and more difficult for me to love him. (I have the same issue with Joel McHale on The Soup. I love his shows—especially Community—and I […]

Plus-Sized And Pregnant

September 11th, 2009

No, no, no, not me! But I received an email from my friend Jennifer, who is 36 weeks pregnant, and she graciously said I could reprint her words here. I found her thoughts about pregnancy as a plus-sized woman really fascinating, and I hope you will, too! She covers topics including maternity wear, the ups […]

"500-Pound Chocoholic" At Dear Prudence

February 10th, 2009

BFDiva Meredith alerted me to the below “Dear Prudence” video advice column from Slate. In her e-mail, she sums up her outrage nicely: The advice requester explains that he has a fat coworker who eats all the communal chocolate at a meeting, and he wants to say something to the fat man about how his […]

A Fat Acceptance Activist's take on "Wanted"

July 7th, 2008

Thanks to Lucinda, who sent in the following review! I didn’t see Wanted this weekend, but my students have told me it’s really good. Did you guys see it over the holiday weekend? Did you have the same reaction as Lucinda did? I was psyched to see WANTED, the new summer blockbuster action flick — […]

Celebrity Fatwatch: Eyeroll Edition

June 10th, 2008

Has there been more uproar lately about celebrities gaining and losing weight, or have I just noticed it more? Three posts I ran across today in quick succession: 1. “Carnie Wilson’s War” (with video from the Tyra Banks show, of course) is Carnie’s battle with her weight after her highly publicized weight loss surgery. 2. […]

Fat And Diabetic (No Relation)

March 26th, 2008

Our guest post today comes from the delightful Sara, who writes in with a question for all our readers: I am fat. I have diabetes. The two are in no way related to one another. Interesting how that works, huh? I have type 1 diabetes, so my pancreas is going to be dead regardless of […]

NPR and Nimoy

November 10th, 2007

Please listen to this report aired on NPR’s Weekend Edition Saturday, last weekend. Understand—Scott Simon is usually a fantastic host.

Would You Disguise Yourself…As Thin?

October 15th, 2007

I don’t watch Heroes, and I hadn’t heard anything about this, but the awesome Laurie does, and she sends in this report. (Spoilers from the October 8 episode, entitled “Kindred,” are included.)
