feedism.net - help us expand and archive! (+ small updates)
hi wonderful folks 🥹💗. I haven’t been as active on here - life got busy and I’m autismly bad at managing multiple interests and commitments, but @doughyfatfox and I have been quietly adding and editing bits to the site. though lately I’ve been having a little dip in motivation + inspiration, and was planning on continuing to procrastinate on this;
I hate to admit that a teensy part of this was fuelled by the doomer in me, where I sometimes can only muster up the energy to exist as a fat queer in this fascist hellscape. until we got the news that @fatliberation’s blog got fucking nuked by tumblr!! (and thank fuck they reinstated it!! 😡) ohhh the rage and grief i feel for my community, enough to fuel me to get my grips back on archiving all the wonderful and important content we have!
so we wanted to put out another call-out for submissions and archive requests!
but can i also just quickly say, the submissions, love and encouragement we’ve received for this site has filled me with so much joy and purpose 😭💖. all your guestbook messages, lived experience, seeing the kink jars I’ve made on your blogs means the world to me and it does not go unseen. thank you for making me feel so connected to this community even at times when I struggle to actively engage in it 💗. anyway, back to the point of this post!!
what are we looking for?
we will always say anything you feel would fit the site (that’s community-centric, non-pornographic, archival, and even educational), email them over to [email protected], but we also have a couple of specific things we’d like to see more (and maybe even expand them into dedicated pages/projects 👀):
content to archive! stuff you don’t want to see get eternally lost into the ether ‼️🚨 - iconic tumblr posts, essays/articles about feedism that resonated with you, recipes, wg guides, fiction, anything! before the evil overlords of tumblr take our history away from us. please send us a link or even better, archived files of it. we currently have a system (and backlog 😅) of saving everything that has been submitted + stuff we personally want to archive in file and code form, and we publish it whenever we get permission and/or the content gets nuked. but there’s only two of us and a web’s worth of amazing feedist content, so any help in this effort would be massively appreciated.
personal definitions of feedism - the site currently has a “what is feedism?” page with an as-broad-as-possible definition of the kink. but we’re not looking to be an authority on the topic! we’d love to have a collection of definitions from different feedists - what this kink means to you, how you practice it, or how you might explain it to someone who has absolutely no idea what it is
feedist awakenings - on a similar note, we’d love to host submissions from all of you about how you realised you were into feedism!
memes - the queerer the better, duh
feedist history - @doughyfatfox has been hard at work building a chunky page about our community's history, hugely because there isn't a documented one yet! from the ancient venus of willendorf depths to magazines in the 80s-90s, we want to be as comprehensive as possible!
feedism and other kinks - this has been something we've always wanted to make space for on our site; the intersections of related kinks and how folks have experienced them, so we'd love to hear yours
lastly, a little update!
you might’ve noticed a domain change (well it’s a redirect!)… and we have someone special in our community we’d like to thank for that! the admin of another feedist site reached out a couple months ago offering to redirect feedism.net, which they own, to our site. not gonna lie, it feels a little daunting to have part-title to such an ✨ official ✨ domain, but if anything it has motivated us to try and live up to it by upping our archive + submission efforts.
we’re still feedism.neocities.org, just now with a fancy redirect if anyone were to wonder where feedism.net would bring them to.
that’s all from us! happy browsing, and snacking, and expanding 💓🐷
Not to continually harp on this point but the feedist community was the place I was introduced to fat lib, years before “body positivity” would even enter the mainstream. This community has been talking about the autonomy of fat people literally forever, because it’s a community of fat people. It’s so bizarre to act like feedists are universally a group of thin oppressors “fetishizing” the fat against their will.
i'm aware i run a kink blog i just hope it's clear i also enjoy fat stuff for body positive, non-fetish reasons right? i'm paranoid but i hope that's like, clear
Will it fix all of my problems, to have you sitting behind me and rubbing my overstuffed belly? I don't know.
But I think we owe it to science to find out. Who's with me?
FOR SCIENCE!!!
