Why I’m Not Wearing My Pussy Hat This Year
Last year, hundreds of thousands of people came together to march against Trump. Unfortunately, I had some sort of plague-like cold, so I was not among them, but I watched the events unfold from under a fuzzy blanket on social media. One of the symbols o ...
Let’s (Not) Talk About Trump’s Weight
I really don’t like having to defend anything about Donald Trump. Look what you’ve made me do. It came out that “President” Trump, following a physical, is supposedly 6'3" and 239 pounds. Why we are supposed to care about this, I don’t know (actually I d ...
Things I Will Never Say About Food

In the time since I last posted, a lot has happened. Or, at least, enough has happened that it hijacked my brain and made things like blogging seem impossible. Mainly, my wonderful new apartment has turned out to be not-so-wonderful. See, not too lon ...
Stop Comparing Fatness to Smoking
I was on Facebook recently and made the mistake of reading comments on a post relating to fat. I know, when will I learn? GIF from Swear Trek One that struck me was along the lines of “what’s next, we’re gonna write about smoking acceptance?” Insert f ...
