Fat-Positive: Or Why I Link So Much About It

I've had people ask me why I'm always so on about positive body image, and tend to defend "fat" a lot. I have gotten into really REALLY heated arguments with dudebros over it, and had other women tell me that it's easy for me to say, I'm skinny. And you know, it kind of is. I'm not going to deny that. I'm also not going to deny I've gotten a lot of flack before for being as thin as I am (always from other women, mind, I have never had a man tell me I was too thin, but too small of boobs, however...). But really, getting that kind of flack is nothing compared to what it must be to not be thin, and I recognize this.

- Mad Men Barbies Between this and Computer Engineer Barbie, I'm actually starting to kind of like those dolls.

- Apparently if you're a dude in engineering, you're likely to cheat. I have to wonder, have they ever SEEN engineers?

- Legal untaxed monies. Hey, ever wonder why tycoons invest? This would be why.

- New on my list of places to visit: Montreal.

- Haul vlogging? There is something clever about this from an advertising perspective, and yet, there is something entirely soulless at the same time.

- My new favorite Aeris cosplay ever. Freaking adorable!

- Best Jobs in American? Personally, the best job is the job you actually like...
