[TRIGGER WARNING: Rape]
Look, it’s really fucking hard to be a fat person who happens to be romantically interested in other people, particularly when those other people are cis het dudes.
It’s hard because when you grow up fat, you grow up believing that you’re not ever…
Thank you for writing this.

A Healthy Journey: No shampoo? No problem! →
healthyjourney:
I know you might all think I’ve gone totally hippie and moved to a commune, but really, I wash my hair with baking soda and Apple Cider Vinegar.
Maybe you’ve read about how there’s lead in your lipstick and dangerous aluminum in your deodorant. But have you ever turned your shampoo bottle…

The Virginia Ultrasound Law Proposal: Why Women...
(trigger warning: rape)
Well, LivLunatics, it seems that the war against women in the United States is fully on. You thought women not being able to testify in the the trial regarding women’s health and Komen taking away then reinstating grant funding for Planned Parenthood was awful, now the state of Virginia is proposing something worse: a bill that would require women to undergo an...

XXL Magazine--THIS is Your Idea of "Fatherly...
(trigger warning: sexual assault)
I don’t get it. I really don’t get it. Am I missing something, LivLunatics? Are websites so desperate for page views, they resort to not screening content, or worse, approve it just to keep their brand afloat?
XXL Magazine’s website is the latest offender, having posted a video of rapper Too $hort as part of a series called “Fatherly...

Lead in Lipstick--What You Need to Know
Remember a few years ago when people were freaking out about lead in toys that were produced in China? Well, around the same time, the FDA began investigating the content of lead in lipstick. That’s right, lipstick, something many women wear every day. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is horrified, and did their own research. They found that two-thirds of the 33 red lipsticks they tested...

A hero in the fight against human trafficking.
Today I talked to a woman I have known all my life. She and I have a complicated relationship of love and disdain that goes back decades and we speak about once every two weeks. Wit, intelligence, groundedness and charm are mixed with a dash of conservatism and at times straight up-tightness. She told me some news today that made me more proud of her than I could even imagine was possible.

Petition: "Starbucks: Offer Organic Milk, Recycled... →
Why This Is Important
I want my organic milk latte in a recycled cup with a recycled lid in a reusable fabric sleeve. I want to see recycling bins in Starbucks. I want Starbucks sell reusable fabric sleeves and train their employees to be eco friendly, recycle, and not double cup beverages. I want to LOVE Starbucks for being a sustainable brand. You have a green logo with a mermaid on it-...

Don't call me a BBW.
rawrmanifesto:
I don’t like that term. It sounds gross to me. Like people no longer want to categorize you as beautiful or attractive without it somehow being linked to the BBW phenomenon. Its the whole “oh you’re cute…for a big girl”, type mentality. Like, what is that even? I’m not a BBW. I am big, I am beautiful and I am a woman- I don’t need to be boxed into an acronym that hosts a whole...
