An ex emailed me a numbered list of reasons we were breaking up and CCed our mutual friends. When I asked her why she did it that way, she said it would've been too much work to tell everyone individually.

(a) This is so kind!
(b) My order is a medium blonde flat white, which one Starbucks employee once stumbled and called a "grande blonde fat white" while looking me in my grande blonde fat white face, and then looked instantly mortified. Needless to say, I made it my keychain.

This collection of short pieces covers some of the more pernicious myths around anti-fat bias—from "fatness is the leading cause of death in the United States" to "skinny shaming is just as bad as fat shaming" to "anti-fatness is the last socially acceptable discrimination."

Each piece in is designed to deepen your thinking on anti-fatness, point you to more research from other fat activists and academics, and offer up actions you can take to dismantle anti-fat bias in yourself and those around you.

You and I might be on opposite tracks: the closer I get to 40, the wilder my sense of style becomes. Yesterday I wore a bright blue jumpsuit covered in a very assertive mouth print.

They seem 1000x better than the sex ed/health ed I got, which was just learning over & over again about 1-2 ways that straight cis people have sex. And sometimes a cop would come to school for DARE to scare the shit out of us. I'm so happy *not* to see my experience shared!

I will say that the place I went to served both bagels and Mexican food. When I told my mom I was skeptical about their ability to deliver either, she gave me a withering "oh, Aubrey, you're so provincial--it's called FUSION." She's really the GOAT of one-liners in my life.

Oh man, I owe you a debt of gratitude for this tweet. Just went through my contacts & found "Sarah Gender," "Yanely (QZ)" & "Mary: Supercool." I think Sarah was someone I met in a gender studies class in college? I cannot remember meeting a supercool Mary?? QZ???

I LOVE THIS FOR YOU. If you've got the budget space for it, go to Costco and get full size bars/packets--ideally a mix of stuff to accommodate different dietary needs & tastes. It is SO FUN to watch kids run off to spread the word about the Full Size Bar house/apt.

RIGHT?! Having a health care provider who actually listened to me totally changed my perspective on things I previously would’ve described as “not that bad.” Like IT IS ACTUALLY SO BAD, I was put on statins when my cholesterol was already dangerously low? What??

Oh also! If you do this! I strongly recommend starting with fun size, because the first kids to come by will be the littlest peanuts who will be just as bowled over by fun size stuff, and it'll be plenty for them.

Any of the "I'm going undercover to find out what it's like to be fat" fat suits always look the absolute wildest to me. Like, fully just shoving bed pillows under sweatshirts??
Too bad there aren't any fat people they could just ask what it's like to be fat
