Groups

 

Welcome to the Fat Activist Network

We are hoping this will be a central place for all fat activists to meet and network. By creating your own profile each of us can easily see what each other's focus of activism is and what we have been involved in. Anyone can create groups, post events, start discussions and post blog entries.

This is not a dating site. Please keep in mind that this is a place for people who are working on size equality and fat activism.


You can customize your page however you want. Click theme under your picture to change the layout of your page and you can physically move the content boxes around on your page.

Carrie and I are hoping that this will be a place where if you need to contact all the fat activists in one town or all the fat activist lawyers or have a call for submissions or whatever, that this will be the place you come.

This site will only be great if it is used and taken advantage of, so please create groups, discussions and profiles and please pass the word on to your activist friends.

Check it out! You can post Fat Activist Network badges on all of your favorite web haunts. Help us get the word out by clicking on Get More Badges on the lower right.

This community and website is only as good as you make it! Everyone needs to contribute by starting groups, posting events and starting discussions. Thanks! I look forward to learning more about all of you!

Notes

Need help filling out your profile page?

Here is a link to some tutorials from the Ning site.

It isn't ideal, but hopefully it will help. Basically you can move the components of your page around. Just hold the cursor over the bar of the box and clack and you should be able to move it around.

You use the text box to introduce yourself and say what you do. Just play around and don't be afraid to click on thin… Continue

Fat Activist Network gets cleaned up for 2010

Hello All,

I am the first to say that I have been rather absent from this network. I really appreciate you that have made it your home and started up discussions and added events. There is so much more that is not being posted here. I am hoping that in 2010 more people will come to this site as the quick source for fat activism information.

There are many many profiles on here that have never been filled out. I am going to give everyone till 1-15-10 to fill out your profile… Continue

Thrifty Fatties

Today, I had the unfortunate realization that I hate everything in my closet. Okay, maybe not everything. But definitely all the shirts. So this afternoon, I'm heading to the local Goodwill to do some shopping.

As I was planning my shopping expedition, I started thinking about the relationship between fatties and thrifting. I've noticed that lots of stylish fatties seem to have an absolute love-affair with thrift stores. Pretty much every post on plus-size shopping suggest thrift stores as an o… Continue

BHM

i do not use this term for myself, but if you're going to use it for some site, get it right please?

BHM does not mean "Big Husband Man", it means "Big Handsome Man"


(i got spam apparently from f.a.n. in my email inbox trying to entice me over to some dating site, and thats how they used the term. ew.)

Don't Go to Vivienne's Charm School

No one would describe me as a push-over. No one would describe me as passive or defenseless, or powerless, or weak, or quiet, or ... But, I AM powerless against the Shouting World. In fact, my only reliable weapon in life, to date, has been logic and that only kicks in six months to six years too late.

I am powerless against mean people, shouting people, passive aggressive people, irrational people... I have not found my magic power, yet. Ahhh, yes, it is because there is no magic power—there i… Continue

Situation Management in the Shouting World

Following along in an orderly fashion, I think I have established that I have not exercised very much discernment and have allowed quite a few Mean Women (and a few Mean Men) into my life. I am now allowing myself to hate the mean people in my life--not to engage in any hateful activity, just to hate them from afar and to disengage from them. Which led to the whole "healing through hatred" thingy.

And, that has led to my newfound revelation that practicing discernment in my life would be a good… Continue

The ning folks were very helpful and told me it was a browser problem. I had to let it allow pics from ning. Learning Vista is fun. :)

ANTLR is a compiler-compiler, related to Yacc/Bison, JavaCC, and similar. LOLCode is an experimental computer language vaguely inspired by the LOLCats photos, "I can has Cheezburger" and similar.

The compiler was a C cross-compiler, from NT to a propriety system for Bull. It was years ago. Recently I did some ANTLR sample code with a LOLCode interpreter, and the ability is still there. No assembly language, however.

Doesn't seem like there's anything there yet? I filled out the survey, though.
