This isn't my real blog, that's over here. I use Tumblr for fun and discussion about body image, fat acceptance and other stuff. I often talk about things that make people uncomfortable but I like to provide trigger warnings.



You might see me talk about disability and illness. I have Major Depressive Disorder, Social Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Type 1 Diabetes and Graves disease. ~FIST PUMP~

I think Health at Every Size is a cool concept, but always like to consider the definition of "health" considering I have chronic illnesses that preclude me from identifying as "healthy". I believe I am a valid human being who deserves respect, and I believe you are too.

I live in Brisbane, Australia. It's a prawn, not a shrimp and it's Astraya, not Australia. Mate. I'm not terribly tied to any notions of national pride, but am aware of my privilege as a person who is white, middle class and born in Australia.

I'm an artist, activist, designer, fatshionista and I'm on twitter.



Did you know you can buy fat activisty things from my shop, Fancy Lady Industries?

This film was made by 17 year old Josh Beattie. I’m still wiping away tears, and I’m not the sort of person who is moved easily! I get choked up when I see awesome talent in Brisbane, but the story and the music moved me too.
