You Are Among An Author Who Wants to Make Sure She Doesn't Leave Anything Out

ljm:

I want to make sure I cover all necessary topics in the You Are Among Friends book (which will be published by the holidays, by the way! Start your letters to Santa now!). In writing the zine, I wrote directly to my memory of my twelve-year-old self. In the book, not only do I want to address a wider audience, but I also want to address a range of concerns wider than the ones I personally dealt with most.

Girls, ladies, women: What were you most concerned about as an adolescent? What made you deliriously happy? What did you worry about? What made you cry so much that your dad scolded you at the dinner table to “quit crying all the time?” (Oh. Just me, then?)

I’m asking that ideas be sent to me via my website—click the “Say Hi” link at the top.

I’d like this to reach as wide an audience of ladies as possible, so if you have it in your heart to give a girl a good old-fashioned reblog this morning, please do!

juhneeeeen: maggiellen: meezardra: appleonastick: aworldofwant:bbwprincess | loki1181 | sockie.deviantart.com So, I, like, really want to talk about this. because, FUCK YEAH! i mean, THANK YOU. i think this particular image is kinda kitchy and hilarious, but the overall thought is something i dig. I’m really sick of living in a world, in a gender, where it is better to be politically void, unmotivated, and unsensible than it is to be fat. like being overweight is THE WORST thing that could happen to some girls i know. THE WORST. and when you go for that second portion, “oh, i’m such a fatass” is always exclaimed, like it’s bad. “oh, i’m such an unscrupulous money-grubber.” “oh, there’s starving kids somewhere in the world, i’m wasting resources” no, it’s “my body is not what society has told me is beautiful, and it makes me want to be mean.” LISTEN: BEING FAT IS NOT SOMETHING TO FEEL BADLY ABOUT OR MAKE FUN OF. put your health first, but your body is the way your body is, and do not let anyone make you feel badly about that. this bothers me so deeply. it makes me belligerently angry. it’s selfish, and cheap, and shallow. as far as feminism has come, i hope the elimination of ‘fat talk’ and the broadening of the concept of beautiful is next. end fat manifesto, part 1.

peanut buttuh

whenever i tell people i’m a vegetarian, there is always the what do you eat? well, people, lots and lots of peanut butter. almost everyday. peaunut butter toast, peanut butter sandwich, peanut butter bagel, peanut butter ice cream, trail mix with peanuts. delicious. keep it coming. crunchy, creamy, natural, with honey, berries, jelly, apples, bananas—you name it, i’ll have one.
