if you reblog any of my posts about men in crop tops or short shorts and youre like "ill do this when im skinny," i need you to take my hand. sweet summer child, listen to me. you do not have to be skinny to show skin. please be fat and show skin. you deserve to wear what you want to wear, and to be cool in the heat. you do not have to punish yourself for being fat.

im not going to lie- some people will judge you. sometimes you will see or hear them judging you. you have to be able to move on. you are not living your life for them. pleasing them by sweating to death is not going to help you, and it's not going to appease fatphobic assholes. you do not need to make yourself small for them.

there are, on the other hand, also a plethora of people who are going to find you smokin hot, and others who will be inspired by your bravery- whether or not *you* feel brave- and it will make them brave too. there will be fat children who see you and realize they too can have all the autonomy and free will skinny people do. please dont hide yourself.

cupping my hands together in the shower over my tummy letting them fill with water and spill over pretending i'm a beautifully detailed statue fountain in sicily that was modeled after the sculptor's wife that tragically passed and he considers it his greatest loss and he never remarried and wept while thinking about her every night until he died and an eclectic, sort of geeky and awkward art history student just finished his final about me in which he said that several historians consider me the most beautiful statue fountain in the world, and while that is true, he's also been obsessed with me since he saw a picture of me in a library book when he was young and i'm part of the reason for his taste in women as an adult and he's going to use the college fund money he secretly put away to go to sicily with his girlfriend to come see me because i was the art piece that made her feel beautiful and finally comfortable in her own skin after years of feeling unloved because i look just like her (she is also hopelessly in love with me) and he gently caresses the wedding ring in his pocket smiling gently glancing over at her glowing face as she makes eye contact with me and finally feels like everything is going to be okay. then i get shampoo. in my eye

Finding art of fat people is so hard that even though I’ve promised myself that the moment I see a local artist with a print of a fat person I’ll buy the piece, I still haven’t managed to find a single artist locally (and I struggle to find artists who do so even internationally) who makes art of fat people.

Like I will purposfully go around in a market looking out for art of fat people, and I see no art of anyone who isn’t thin. I’ve also tried looking up art of fat bodies from local artists on the internet, and I still haven’t found anything.

And while I don’t personally blame any specific artist for doing this, it gets a bit more annoying when a small business that’s centered around feminist or leftist art, still has no art of fat people.

(Love you artists but kindly do better guys!)

"A conversation about fat justice, though, will require so much of each of us. People who don’t wear plus sizes will need to hear and believe fat people’s experiences—experiences that may differ from their own so dramatically as to strain credulity. They will hear stories of strangers mooing from a passing car or passersby throwing trash at fat people walking down a city street. They will hear stories of doctors telling their patients to stop shoving food in your face long enough to pay attention. Remarks like these are so deeply unkind that it’s hard to imagine why someone would think they’re acceptable to say out loud. But by the simple virtue of living in our bodies, fat people are seeing things straight-size people can’t yet—things that only happen in the presence of bodies like ours. Straight-size people will need to resist the urge to reject fat experiences out of hand because of a lack of context. Instead, they’ll need to find the context. They’ll need to look harder, to sharpen their vision. They’ll need to learn to see anti-fatness everywhere, because it is. Antifatness may not make sense to straight-size people. It doesn’t make sense to me, either. But straight-size people’s tasks will be threefold: not to buckle under the weight of their own discomfort, to stay in the conversation long enough to learn, and to take proactive action to counter anti-fat bias and help defend fat people.

Advancing fat justice will require a lot of fat people too. It will require us to take the risks we’ve taken so many fruitless times before—the risks of sharing our most challenging experiences of anti-fat bias, of opening our bodies and lives up to even more public conversation and debate. Ours will be the work of courageous and frightening vulnerability, of holding a standard of humanity, dignity, and respect that so many tell us we simply do not deserve. And it will be the work of building a bold vision for a more liberated world—for fat people, and for people of all sizes."

This year we're not doing weight loss resolutions. No new fad diets or miracle workout programs, no magic pills, and definitely no bariatric surgeries. This year we're listening to our bodies, and more importantly we're loving our bodies. We do not need to be smaller to be worthy of that.

Fat people deserve to love ourselves and be confident as fuck.
