I could make a full-time job on the low-fat-vegan boards I have started to frequent of reminding people that fat doesn't equal not-healthy, and that it's possible to work on improving health at any size. It's been two days since I joined, and it's already been (not gently) suggested by one of the members that I don't belong there if I don't agree that isachandra is not a good spokesperson for veganism because she's some gross fat blob (I'm paraphrasing, but not by much). Fuck that. I made a new usericon for the boards (same as the icon for this post), and I don't plan on making myself any LESS annoying in the near future. I wouldn't say I'm enjoying it (I do have feelings, after all), but I'm glad I'm there, because some people don't even notice they're being bigots if no one points it out.

Well, messing with their groupthink is a good thing. But no one's going to pay you for it & it's not your job, so make sure you only do it as long as it doesn't start to hurt you personally. Take care of yourself, darlin'.

Sanks, hunny.

Speaking of non sequiturs, is it wrong that I just feel like petting the roar-y lion?
