I wore a bikini for the first time in my life two years ago. I had never worn one, because of all of the shame I’d felt for having a yo-yo body (from average-to-fat and back again) all my life. Then I saw this rainbow bikini, and I couldn’t take it anymore. I had to wear it. And I decided that haters may hate, but in…

I was so hard on myself when I was a size 6, and now that I’m a hell of a lot bigger I wish I could go back in time and shake myself out of that kind of thinking.

I had a coworker at my last job who was routinely furious that, even though I was fat and she wasn’t, I still allowed myself to enjoy food while she subsisted in Lean Cuisine and fat-free yogurt. It made her SO angry, and she just couldn’t shut up about it—she’d hover around my cubicle at lunch time and make comments…

I was in Hawaii a few years back. I was a size 6 at the time. Feeling all sad I wasn’t a four. Hiding under a beach mumu.I was people watching and I really started to pay attention to the bodies around me.literally NO ONE looked “perfect”. Even the tall thin ones had butt dimples or stretch marks. People of all shapes…

God, people who post about how obesity is unhealthy when they see happy fat women are THE WORST. They aren’t posting out of concern for anyone’s health. At. All. Because they would NEVER post something like that near a picture of a fat man enjoying anything. They post because women are valued first and foremost by…

Let me tell you about what life is like as a fat sexworker. My job involves sharing photos of myself as a strong, sexy, sexual woman, in varying degrees of undress. It involves me setting a figure - a not inexpensive one, either - on what I feel access to my body is worth.

This, for a myriad of reasons, makes some men…

Ah, I meet the original.

this had the opposite reaction for me but like, I have mad daddy issues.

100% this. My daughter is a type 1 diabetic. When I fly with her I carry multiples of any supplies she might need. Sure a plane should have juice, but I don’t count on a flight attendant being able to get me juice on demand if my daughter needs it. I carry my own (TSA considers juice medical supplies for diabetics…

When pressed for comment, the mayor retreated to her bridge where she belched fireballs and threw hammers at anyone who tried to save the princess.

Google proves you are correct. Which means I am free to name the male lead in my great American opus Walter Berglubdm.

As someone who works with autistic teenage girls, I find this disappointing. I understand that the airline overacted, but on the other hand, I cannot blame the airline for doing what they needed to do to keep the community (this case, the plane passengers) safe.

For those unfamiliar with children on the autism…

I just want to clear a few things up as someone “in the know” about how airplanes and flight catering actually works.

Also, is it just me or does Jonathan Franzen look like Steven King cosplaying as a hipster?

I’m betting the employee took the time off without really telling anyone, just didn’t show up and then the email actually doesn’t seem so bad. “Where were you?” “I was at the birth of my son.” Why didn’t you tell anyone where you were, we had a client in and I had no idea what happened. It was embarrassing. Of…

True story:

I want to take a few minutes to thank you all for allowing me to vent and to just decompress these last few months. I look forward to this night every week because I don’t share a lot of this information with a lot of people. Having trouble with a child is bad enough but when you are doing it completely in secret it…

At least it didn’t do the “Slowly come down and stop right in front of your face” while playing Dark Souls.

“Move over emojis, we can now text in Taylor Swift lyrics. Welcome to TayText.”

Did you guys see that thing I wrote about dongs
