(Look out, thar be nudes!)

I second, third, fourth whatever, many in that a meetup mechanism of sorts would be rad. I’ve encountered some cool chicks sort of near me and wish there were a non-weird way to meet them (and eat ice cream with them in public!).

I enjoy Aunt Fattie, too, so MOAR please! And I love any post that makes me feel better, you know, like SM’s recent jeans post and basically anything bitchy, feministy, and reminding me the patriarchy wants to keep me hungry, miserable, and ineffective… So keep doing your thing, pretty much….

And guest posts from in-betweenies (oh my fellow in-betweenies, where on Earth does one find clothes in the boonies?!), and possibly a perspective from an ED recoverer relative to FA.

Finally, I really, truly LOVE the posts related to intersecting issues such as race, disability, and privilege for a mostly but not entirely selfish reason: I’ve had some holy shit moments in the past few months as a result of those and I really believe it’s made a positive change in me and my ability to stand up for other people, which has boosted my confidence in an entirely un-beauty way, which has probably never happened to me before. Like I said, selfish, but it feels good. (And for the non-selfish part, I’ve raised some serious awareness in those around me whether they like it or not.)

I would love a message board and I’ve been wishing y’all had a FAQ practically since I found this blog a year or so ago. I like the fashion posts, the troll-bashing posts, Aunt Fatty, the fat/HAES perspective, the swearing, the feminism, the bitchy moderation, and pretty much everything you do now. I especially like the posts that give me a glimpse of life for someone following HAES. I’m less than a year out from my most recent diet and I guess I find those helpful. More recipes might be nice, too, but if we had a message board, that could serve that sort of purpose.

Anyway :) I love your blog. I mostly lurk but I guess I’m happy to see the dawning of a new era or whatever.

As a sub-heading of the message board concept, and since so many people enjoy the douchehound smackdowns, maybe it would be fun to have, like, one officially sanctioned unmoderated thread? That way we could keep all the trolls in a confined space where those of us who are amused by that sort of thing could go and poke them with sticks.

I’d like to get more perspective from gay/bi/trans fat folks. I’m bi, and the pressure I feel to look a certain way is definitely different between the genders. I’d love love love to read other perspectives on this.

I miss the days when the whole blog post showed up on RSS, and variable width would be a good thing – I often like to do multiple things at once (watch vid + read blog, for instance), and variable width is more conducive to that.

I like the idea of having a contributable column – stuff people could participate in, like Aunt Fatty.

THAT’S what I did wrong.

Crap.

But – yeah! Having a few fat-mom posts would be pretty cool, I think. We’re seen as having “given up” and are therefore fat; we were controlling our barely restrained urge to snarf the baby donuts until we trapped the dude into giving us babies, and then we just don’t care.
Also, the MILF/YummyMummy Thing is right up my butt.
