Anonymous asked: *sigh* Please tell me you know the Israel/Palestine thing is not as simple as "occupation" right? It makes me sad when all my political role models, with whom I agree on nearly every issue, are so near-sighted about it.

feral-femme:
there are lots of white queer people who i hold very near and dear to my heart. my best friend/platonic life partner, my girlfriend, and many of the queer people who i am closest to are white. my mom is also white and is kind of queer. i think they all identify and work on being anti-racist white people but there are still, obviously, plenty of instances where i feel alienated...

lenachen:
This may be one of the most beautiful stories I’ve ever encountered about marriage. Though I am pretty opposed to the institution, I’m touched by this piece precisely because this couple illustrates that the bonds of true friendship and partnership don’t have to come in the form of a heterosexual, nuclear family. Despite all the prejudices and misconceptions working against them,...

xoJane: Leave Paula Deen Alone →
The thing about being fat is that you turn into public property. You are an object, not a person, and this makes you fair game for being shredded. This goes double if you are a woman, particularly a woman celebrity; by being publicly fat, Paula was already a target for people who loved making classist comments about her food, and by being pushed into a public disclosure of a private health...

noseflute asked: I unfortunately missed your doc when it was up online, but I suggested it to my university's media library yesterday, and they ordered it nearly on the spot. In light of the crap you've been getting lately about the whole availability thing, I thought you might appreciate hearing something good. Spreading the FA love and support, especially for projects like this. :)
kristy-of-owlsandelephants asked: 1) Your blog is blocked at work. The firewall designates it as Porn. 2) I am going to donate $60 to Bitch Magazine's lending library so that they can purchase The Fat Body (In)Visable.

Anonymous asked: As an academic librarian and Fat Activist, I certainly understand the problem with using trusted academic publishers to get our work out there. Unfortunately, that makes it more difficult for non-academics to access. However, I'd like to remind everyone that you can request that a library buy an item, and your DVD is actually published on the lower scale for documentaries (we see an average...
fis4feminism asked: No questions here. I just wanted to let you know that in an alternate universe where I don't live in podunk, WI I would ask you to be my friend with muffins and cookies and we would go shopping together because I think you are swell. <3
pollymay asked: Hello there! I plan to ask my university to buy a copy of your film, I'm interested in doing a body positivity workshop. I want to focus on fat bodies, especially queer fat bodies. I know you're busy and I know you don't have to help me, but I was just curious if you could direct me to any literature, online or otherwise, to help me set this workshop up in the best way possible....
Anonymous asked: so lets say, the college says no. or for somebody doesn't go to college, the library says no. then hundreds of people will go with ought seeing it. i just think, accessibility is a big deal. and it makes me sad that so many will miss out on your amazing film because they were rejected by the institutions you suggested, and simply don't live a privileged enough life to afford it. a big...
Anonymous asked: So if we don't go to a university, are we just pretty much shit out of luck??
Anonymous asked: Who is the BEAUTIFUL persyn in the trailer for your docu with the bettie bangs and long black hair? Well done by the way! So excited for this.
The 'price' of distribution
Anonymous asked: so is there no way to watch your documentary unless i convince my university to spend $60 to rent an institutional copy?? that seems a little ridiculous. why don’t you let people stream it?
Dearest Anon,
I understand your frustration with the totally out-of-reach purchase price. From what I’ve been told, it is actually very normal for educational-use films to be sold...

letstalkaboutrape:
So my stepmom is a born again Christian who is vehemently anti-choice. She volunteers at a Crisis Pregnancy Center and posts inane statuses on facebook about abortion. We’ve gotten into heated arguments on facebook that have caused some serious family issues so at this point I try not to directly…
