  1. stophatingyourbody: stophatingyourbody: Dear Friends, This is Sarah. Sarah has been a major contributor to SHYB over the past year (and more!) She is the author of this incredible poem. She has spread positivity throughout the tumblrsphere and beyond, and she’s just a fantastic person. Recently she was diagnosed with cancer and had some pretty serious surgery. As she is recovering, her bills are piling up. With chemo ahead of her, she’s unable to go back to work. You can read more about her situation here. She’s set up a donation page, and it would mean so much to me if anyone here could give back to someone who’s given this site so much. Even just five dollars can add up. And if nothing else, a reblog of this post would be awesome. I’ve seen Tumblr come together as a community and do some unbelievable things—let’s make this another success story! Here is the donation page: http://www.gofundme.com/ozgh4 Let’s all send Sarah good thoughts and hope for a speedy recovery. She is brave and strong and wonderful, and she’s been through a lot this year. Thank you so much, guys! Love, Amber Update! Sarah is going to be starting chemo AND radiation treatments soon, so more than ever, anything you can spare is so greatly appreciated. Even a couple dollars can go a long way! If you can’t donate, please at least reblog! The more we can spread the word, the better chance we can help this amazing girl get through a tough time. Thank you!

I KNOW YOU WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO RETIREMENT BUT YOU CO-SIGNED FOR COLLEGE, REMEMBER? IT WAS EITHER SELL YOU INTO INDENTURED SERVITUDE OR GET SOME CORPORATE CUBICLE JOB TO PAY BACK MY STUDENT LOANS. NO OFFENSE, BUT I DIDN’T GO TO ART SCHOOL TO WORK IN AN OFFICE, OKAY? I NEED TO BE IN A NURTURING CREATIVE ENVIRONMENT.  I HEAR THEY GIVE OUT FREE STARBUCKS SAMPLES FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR, THOUGH.

  7. Just So We're Clear... Some Facts

    Recently, this blog has gotten a lot of new readers who may be new to Fat Acceptance & Health At Every Size.

    As a consequence, I’ve been fielding lots of comments of the “how can you be promoting fat?!” and “haven’t you heard of type II diabetes?!” variety.  So, rather than trying to respond to these commenters individually (and as a way to provide support to people who want to respond to these comments in their own lives and blogs), I’ve decided to write this post.  I’ve outlined 9 typical statements by commenters, together with an explanation of why each statement is wrong, wrong, wrong.

    This is definitely worth reading, if only to make you pause and think. (Let’s particularly pay attention to numbers 2 and 5, because those are the worst offenders.)

  11. wilwheaton: inothernews: Besides the hype, besides the technical fuckups of NASDAQ, besides the overvaluation and offering too many shares during their IPO, I think the reason Facebook’s stock is failing as much as it is right now is that people have come to realize that Everybody’s Favorite Social Network is just too obnoxious, intrusive, and data-scrapingly assholish in the way it treats everyone from its most ardent users to, sadly, people on third-party platforms like, I dunno, TUMBLR, that perhaps want nothing at all to do with the privacy black hole that is Mark Zuckerberg’s dickishness incarnate but wake up and log on to find THIS UTTER BULLSHIT.
