I've been trying to figure out how to phone post since I can't seem to get on Lj at work. The number I have for it doesn't work in my phone and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. It would be much easier just to read LJ from work, but my desk faces the admin offices so I have to be pretty careful. Plus I guess they monitor that sort of thing so people won't watch porn at work or something.
They are really getting their shit together over at Big Fat Blog. I've been thinking for a while about getting into some serious fat activism but had no idea where to start. It looks like they are really trying to get some activism going. I talk a pretty good game in re: fat. But in real life, I tend to be nervous about the kind of verbal retaliation I might get from speaking out about fat rights. There's still an awful lot of stupidity and ignorance in the world, especially on the topic of fat. Plenty of people still want me to blame myself and wallow in sorrow over how I look. Admittedly, I do that sometimes but I'm trying hard to accept myself as is and make healthy choices regardless of how "hopeless" it all seems.
Okay, now I'm off to work.
Oh, and the girls in Group are throwing me a shower. For you local types, it's September 9th, which is a Sunday.
