Dear society...

I hate that you make me hate myself.
I am a big girl. Not like a BIG BIG girl but I am a big girl. I have always been a big girl. And I try really hard to lose weight but I’m always unsuccessful. And for that I hate myself, and I hate my body.

Stitchtowhere’s photostream is crammed with colours, patterns, and cute, half-facetious smiles that remind me of one of my best friends whenever we turn our camera on her. (She’s also speccy and plus-size and so this post may or may not be transference of my love for her.) SERIOUSLY, THOUGH, LOOK:

Conundrum
definatalie:
I get so torn between being a size activist and a feminist, and admiring fashion editorials that only use tiny white women. I want to see smart, pretty and artful photoshoots that employ a diverse selection of human beings but it’s difficult: a lot of the time fat women are represented as strictly sexual objects in photoshoots; women of colour are exoticised or assimilated; and...
