My Life Would Suck Without Y'all!

I spent most of my life obsessing about my weight (we're talking diet/binge fluctuations of 100+ lbs), until I encountered discourses that were telling me that it was ok to be the weight that I am. I became a voracious reader of the fatosphere, and am still developing my own vocabularies to express my views and act effectively on those issues. People like you and the things you do saved my life, and I'm honored that I can now say "people like us."

I am a queer, an academic (grinding out my English Ph.D.), and a singer/songwriter (check out my latest originals and covers at http://www.youtube.com/charlieshipleymusic). If you have questions, ask! Or if you want to friend me, do! I'm just here to meet people and check out/contribute to the great dialogues going on.

Nice to meet y'all!
Charlie

New Fat Artists group

Hey y'all,

Haven't been that active in the group, but I got Krissy's e-mail and agreed wholeheartedly that there should be a group for those of us who are artists, whether that art is visual, musical, dance, performance, anything. So I've started Fat Artists! Hope those of you who see this blog get a chance to join.

Thanks,
Charlie (renaissancey88)

Nice to meet you, too! Let's get Fat Athletes up and moving! I need help as my arteries are clogging and my joints are setting in stone as I write.

Hey there! Please join me in a dialogue about "What is a fat ally?" on the front page: http://fatactivistnetwork.ning.com/forum/topics/what-is-a-fat-ally

I really want to hear from as many people as possible.

Charlie,
If you've never seen it, you might be interested in Jason Whitesel's work. Jason is pretty awesome. He does work on bears/chubbies/chasers, particularly girth & mirth clubs.

He has an article online called (and I love it!) "Fatvertising: Refiguring Fat Gay Men in Cyberspace" that is more visual sociology and the internet:
