clicked on the FFF link included in one of your comments on Huffington Post… SO glad I did!
I will read everything here over the weekend, and more than likely every day after that.
I am also interested in contributing (as an official FFF blogger) if and when you might like to add
another writer to your pool…
I’m “FabulousAt52″ there on HuffPo. However, just to be clear, I’m now almost 54, but more fabulous than evah!
I am almost always involved in the discussions and debates concerning the “obesity crisis” and the rights of fat people everywhere. I am sick and tired of being judged based solely on my appearance (size) for the last 20 yrs of my life, and I’m not taking it any more!
Go Shannon! Go FFF!
Yes, the comment above is mine… I really should not post on line before at least ONE cup of coffee in the morning. I really would rather my ‘real name’ not be included in the above -or future- posts.
I was under the impression the name was just an identifier to be kept private (like the email).
Oops! My fault. Anyway to remove it?
Hi Fab@54,
Sorry I couldn’t change it before now. I just got in. I have changed it, no problem. As far as being a contributor, our process is for you to submit three guest posts and then the current members will vote on whether you’re Fierce, Freethinking Fatty material. Do you have a WordPress account? If so, I can add you to our contributor list and you can post your submission there for me to review. Otherwise, you can just send me your submissions at FierceFatties@hotmail.com. We’ll be glad to have you!
Peace,
Shannon
I can’t remember which of your awesome bloggers is the Roller Derby fiend, but I just saw a Cheerios commercial featuring roller derby gals! I liked the commercial.
That was an AWESOME commercial!
Would it be possible to set up a section for… well… for “Venting’?
I’ve been angry lately… and that’s unusual for me because I usually let things roll right off my back. But recently, reading articles and blogs (elsewhere, not here) about obesity, weight loss, etc and reading the same ol’ Bullshit from a whole variety of ignorant people, over and over and over again;
the same claims and arguments about how “easy” it is to lose weight, how fat people “always” have food addictions, mental issues and other problems - so we should all feel pity for them. It’s really pissing me off!
OK, just a suggestion. I do feel a tiny bit better, just saying as much as I did. Venting works!!
Do you mean have a page where people can vent about nonsequitur’s or where the FFFs people vent?
Peace,
Shannon
I was thinking pretty much anything directly or indirectly associated with the topic (and experiences) of being fat, fat acceptance, etc and all it entails in our modern world of idiocy, stereotypes and myths.
You know — the things that frustrate us, piss us off, make us lose heart, and maybe even those things that once in a while make things all seem worthwhile. (that does happen, right? )
As for opening this venting page up to the public or leaving it private amongst FFF members only, well that’s up to you and what you think would work best. There are pros and cons to each of those options…
