I just did yoga for the first time ever

On a whim, in my living room. I lasted about 25 minutes and had to modify a few poses. This really makes me excited about trying out the fat yoga studio in town.

It felt really good, but I’m a bit sore in places where I haven’t used muscles in awhile.

Also, I need a yoga mat.

About

Margitte. 27. PhD student. Fat activist.

When I’m not reading convoluted academic theory until my eyes water, I am working to uncover anti-fat biases in media representations of the fat body and examine the many intersectionalities of fat identity. I am also interested in research on fat activism, the histories of body regulation, and articulating fat culture.

Check out my academic blog here.

Fat, feminist, queer, anti-racist, mixed race but white privileged, anti-ableist, anti-patriarchy, pro-humanity, pro-choice, proud, happy, beautiful, smart. FUCK NORMATIVITY. <3 SOCIAL JUSTICE.

I love fashion, the fat-o-sphere, pop culture, and activism. I’ll probably write about all of these things.

I hate... haters.
