Some links I thought worth sharing:
Lara Frater on the word “fat”.
Grief moves at its own pace, despite the “rush to normal” common in our society.
You know how kids will bulk up a little before a growth spurt? That’s now a strange thing to be studied, not a normal thing.
Swimming laps & self-acceptance.
On the US government, but likely applies to others: Fewer secrets would also be smarter secrets.
Anyone have others to share?

I saw something the other day that I think is a must see. It’s not a read, but have you seen Amanda Palmer’s response to the Daily Mail basically writing a revue of a recent onstage wardrobe malfunction she had? If not, head here: http://www.upworthy.com/an-awful-tabloid-decided-to-review-her-lady-parts-instead-of-her-music-so-she-responded-awesome and watch and listen. But not at work. It’s definitely Not Safe For Work, either aurally or visually.
Still, somehow I thought you might enjoy it.
