On the FAT takeover of The Polyphony
On the FAT takeover of The Polyphony
I’ve been invited by an editor of The Polyphony to take over the website for a week with FATNESS. The Polyphony is hosted by the Institute for Medical Humanities at Durham University, and provides a platform to “stimulate, catalyse, provide, expand, and intensify conversations in the critical medical humanities”. I LOVE the idea of a FAT takeover of this site – forcing conversations about…

On the year in fat 2020
Before the sickness came, 2020 was shaping up to be an incredibly exciting year for Fat Studies scholarship and activism around the world. Then the world changed. But even as most of the world had to stay away and stay home, incredible fat things did continue to occur (mainly in online spaces). In New Zealand, Elizabeth Heritage declared that “fat activism is blossoming, a welcome ray of light…

On my 2020 fat academic year in review
Welcome to my 2020 fat academic year in review. Presenting an academic year in review is useful in reflecting on how I did in the past year in meeting my goals, identifying areas of growth going forward, and being honest about mistakes made and my failures. As a middle career academic, this is an important yearly activity for me (you can 2018 and 2019 here). Due to CV19, it was a different kind…

On fatlicious gift giving in 2020
Another year, another opportunity to bring fat positivity into your life and the life of your loved ones! One of my favourite ways to do that is through supporting fat creators; many of the items on the list below will help support amazing fat writers, artists, and more. None of these are affiliate links; none of them have asked to be included. These are simply my favourite things of the year.…

I came across this quote by Joseph Campbell and felt the need to share it. That’s basically how I feel when I read or hear anything by him. I used to spend hours drawing and listening to his lectures. The illustration is a figure drawing sketch that I painted on top of. Unfortunately I don’t know what happened to the reference photo so I just painted what felt right.
Any advice for overcoming internalized fatphobia?
The main thing I suggest is looking at a lot of fat positivity. This can be hard since fat people aren’t represented much, let alone positively. Your best bet would be different blogs and social media accounts. There are also a handful of shows about fat people that really show the reality of what we endure. One I can recommend is called Dietland. Watching a show like that might help you feel heard and show you that you really do deserve compassion, especially from yourself. Educating yourself on fatphobia might also be helpful. For me, a major way I manage my internalized fatphobia is spite, which I’ve mentioned before. Sometimes it can be difficult not to listen to all of the fatphobia forced upon us. During those times, you might have to say “Fuck it, I deserve kindness! I don’t deserve to be treated as subhuman!!” Let yourself feel angry over the pain and abuse you’ve suffered for daring to be born with genetics that make you fat. And then use that anger and spite to make yourself believe that you deserve better. The next time you want to eat some ice cream but hear the internalized fatphobia in your head, say to yourself “The fatphobes of the world would love if I didn’t eat this ice cream. They would be gleeful if I starved myself. And that’s EXACTLY fucking why I am going to do the very opposite.” Eventually, you might be able to start doing this out of love for yourself and your body too. I hope this helps!! cx

On being heartless
The battle of the bulge is back in the headlines in New Zealand as we head to the polls to elect our next government. This was kicked off by One News storyabout Uaina Pupulu, a super fat man, who allowed cameras to follow him for over a year as he moved from his family home to a nursing home for weight loss care (the story notes that the District Health Board was involved, but it is unclear if he…

On getting a CT scan
On getting a CT scan
I had my first CT scan today. I’ve lived a rather blessed life when it comes to my health: I’ve never needed diagnostics like a CT or MRI, I’ve never broken a bone. I’ve had one outpatient surgery during my PhD to get my tonsils out, but that’s it.
My GP ordered a CT scan to check my kidneys. I’ve had an intermittent acute pain in my lower back on the left hand side, and she wonders if perhaps…
