    Only in the FA World

    Only in the FA world: Reading a thread in the FA/FFA Forum, seeing mention of a "Keg gift card". Looking it up, expecting it to be a Canadian based restaurant chain but just curious about the details. Suspicions confirmed, but sees they not only have a few locations in the US, but in TX, and one...

    Am I doing it right?

    Just keep in mind that our Dimz time is whatever is leftover after dealing with RL issues. It can be days or weeks between our check-ins here for some of us so please don't think someone is ignoring you if they're a slow in responding.

    Question to know about

    I'm not able to find where I said or implied to coerce fat people. Please point me to the post number (in the upper, right corner of each post) so I can craft a response.

    Question to know about

    There's no issue with anyone participating in Dims. I just wanted to point out the general background of many of the participants and the movement in general. Besides, any "vehicle" that only goes left or right simply runs in circles. I see you've been here since just last year. My comments...

    Question to know about

    Actually that's greybeard, I shave my neck :). I'm pretty familiar with all that transpired back then but I didn't see much worth in dredging up all that muck. All I will say is when personalities in an organization become more important than the organization's goals, the organization (or the...

    Question to know about

    So now we have a size acceptance environment that's worldwide and skin deep. And as you say, there's been no real progress or new concepts with the last decade of "fat activist" fashionista keyboard warriors. It's good that they've been placeholders for those that came before them. But there are...

    Question to know about

    Just an FYI. NAAFA was started by left of center folks. When I started my involvement in the early '80's I was as well. But like Churchill admonished, I matured and my brain took precedence over my heart. By its very nature Fat Acceptance is a Progressive concept born in an era of political...

    Question to know about

    Yes, '96 through '00 was certainly the Golden Era of FA'ism on the emerging web. But I look back at the organizational energy wasted defending FA's from the 'fetish' label, the conflicts between mid and supersize BBWs, and the loss of NAAFA members after formation of the Lavender SIG. Those...

    Too much 'prior art' and no new pathogens worthy of cheese making.

    Question to know about

    To use your friends own words: "There just aren't any women who look like me who can speak for me in this movement. There never really have been -- but now that I’m in an SA 201 place I need people who look like me." "Instead of making room for everyone's voice, I feel like only one...

    Question to know about

    The Body Positivity movement strictly focuses on the appearance aspects but ignores the rest of the issues like physical accommodations and health care issues the Fat Acceptance movement focused on. It gives the illusion of inclusion while ignoring the real societal barriers for fat people. If...

    Question to know about

    That needs to be addressed before it becomes revisionist history. The chronology is covered here: http://content.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1913858,00.html NAAFA came first with FA's already in committed relationships that objected to how their fat wives were being treated in society...

    From British Protectorate to Sharia Law requiring imprisoning or killing gays in only 33 years. Be careful if you say it couldn't happen in <name here>.

    I think the English muffin dough has been kneaded which develops the gluten and gives them their chewy texture compared to the crumpet.

    Another factory goes south / business weasels

    That's typically the "hub and spoke" distribution network. It's used by the major cartage companies like FedEx and UPS as well as the mass transit systems of major cities. It's why I prefer to buy my produce at a local farmers market where every Saturday the farmer who grew it drives it from...

    Loop in America

    In other words, a pretty standard week for food for many here in the US. If you think that's gluttonous, you should see some of the "Taste of <city>" events, or a major State Fair. Those can lead to some Serious Eating in a day. I'm glad you had a great time. And I second Tad's comment about...

    Another factory goes south / business weasels

    I've watched for decades as these great protections were instituted, and tightened. In too many cases, overtightened beyond where it was needed. We should have been following the 80/20 rule and not aiming for >90% protection. All the time I kept thinking to myself "This is going to get too...

    chubby employment

    First, get a portfolio of photos of you in typical modeling poses. You'll need face shots, upper body shots, and full body shots from a variety of angles with several different wardrobes that other people say you look great while wearing. Don't cheap out and do it yourself (unless it's just a...
