“That’s probably not good for you.” “STFU,” I replied in non-acronym form, as I chugged the remainder of my Merlot. “I mean, not right before you go to the gym.” View post on imgur.com Had he been a fleet of wild horses with Gos’s face, he couldn’t’ve dragged me away from my nightly libations. I mean, my hypocritical boyfriend at the time who’d keep a cigarette in his mouth whenever.. Read More
Is “adipositivity” detrimental to health?
I’m just gonna leave this here for a moment: This is one of many images in the “Adipositivity Project” by photographer Substantia Jones. And while I can agree that, yes, Miss Jones can take the hell outta’a snapshot – regardless of what’s in the frame – I’d be lying if I said that obesity itself is beautiful.

So, this isn’t news but it’s news to me. I wrote a thing a couple weeks back about how dumb smartphone watches seem to my abstract conceptualization of them (and my lady brain who thinks no one could follow Connery’s Bond timepiece version – so why try?). In that article, I mentioned my overwhelming desire to get a Fitbit – a pie in sky plan that thrived and died in.. Read More
