Not necessarily the highest form of flattery
As has been posted at BABble and Big Fat Blog, everybody and their mama got a post (or several) ripped off, modified crapfully and re-posted at one “BIGBOYMARK DOT COM” (no link = no traffic for the offender). While I guess I’m, uh, flattered that somebody thought my post about weight watchers back in […]
I Live in the Worst City in California, or: A Story About El Cajon
Let me tell you a story about the city where I live: El Cajon, California.
El Cajon is situated in east San Diego County, and comprises about 14.6 square miles of land. To the north of El Cajon you can find Santee, recognized by many as one of the real hubs of racism (including the KKK) […]
We Are Total Heifers
Or rather, we’d like to buy a heifer.
Here’s the dilly. This year, I’m participating in the Blogathon. What’s a Blogathon?
Remember when you were in school and you would bowl for charity? And for every pin you knocked down you got, say, ten cents? Or run for a dollar a mile? During the Blogathon, people update […]

NAAFA (closing remarks)
In an email discussion I’ve been having, this morning I received a link to the schedule for NAAFA’s conference this summer. I don’t expect to make many more posts on the problems with NAAFA, since I think the conference this summer is a solid testament to the failures of NAAFA. There are a few workshops […]
Rumblings in the NAAFA-verse?
Since yesterday, this site has become one of the top-ten results when you Google the term “NAAFA” - a few people, surprisingly, have actually ended up here via that search. To those who are wondering in, welcome! You were probably looking for NAAFA’s official web site, but you’re welcome to hang around here.
Back to this […]
Problems with NAAFA
I posted a somewhat different version of this in a comment over at BFB, but lest it get buried in the archives, I wanted to say it here. I know it’s unpopular, and perhaps I should be thankful that at least there’s an organization out there doing fat activism. But I have both political and […]
Joy Nash on the news
Heads up to those who may not have seen it yet: Joy Nash (of the Fat Rant fame) did an interview for a local (not local to here, but local to somewhere, I’m pretty sure) morning news show. Check out the video here.
And yes, the site’s experiencing a few technical difficulties as I try to […]
Surviving the Apocalypse + New Fat!
As (I hope) most folks guessed, yesterday’s post was a part of the Blog Like It’s the End of the World day, where folks posted as if they were living (or not) through a Zombie uprising. Ever since I saw 28 Days Later a couple years ago, I’ve been terrified of zombies. A couple of […]
The criticisms of my students would serve as a good warning to visitors of Seeworthy: she talks too fast, she's too hard on us, she assigns too much work, and you have to be a dyke to get a good grade.
In other words, I'm a big, fat, queer, feminist meanie, and I am totally out to get you. Graaagh!
