New way to violate probation: break into the prison you were just released from. Got Medieval discusses the “supersizing of the Last Supper” silliness. What’s making you smile today?

Sunset approaches…
Whether you celebrate Passover or not, you might get a few giggles from Elayne Boosler’s “Seder 2010: The Way We Live Today” or the Haggadah for those in a hurry. Chag sameach for those celebrating! (I know it’s past sunset for some readers, but I am on Pacific time ;)

Thankful Thursday
[a not-always-weekly exercise in gratitude] 1) Trees are blooming everywhere and my allergy meds are dealing with it. 2) The Sounders won their home season opener! 3) Continuing to exercise is having the desired affects — I survived a Costco jaunt last weekend and walked to a restaurant that serves wine today during lunch. 4) …and I haven’t injured myself through pushing myself too much. 5) Hugs and…

Worth Reading
I was damaged as a result of being a fat kid, certainly; however, what damaged me was not my fat, but the messages I received about fatness. I was damaged by both perceiving myself and being treated by others as inferior, an object, something in need of repair, and not a person worthy of basic respect. I was seriously damaged by the endless dieting, such that I…

Search Trends: Diabetes
A trend I’ve recently noticed in the search terms (WordPress’s handy table of phrases Google says people searched on to get to my site): fat people who don’t have diabetes. Specific examples: why not all obese people get diabetes do all overweight people get diabetes i’m obese; will i get diabetes? why obese people get diabetes how many obese people have diabetes how to fat people get…

On Acceptance
Fat acceptance is about accepting my body, even though it’s fat. It doesn’t mean that everyone else is automatically OK with my body. I know a lot of people don’t accept my fat. Some of them are quite comfortable telling me that it’s not OK for me to be fat. Sometimes that bothers me. But more often it doesn’t. See, I learned something about myself when I…

Thankful Thursday
[a not-always-weekly exercise in gratitude] I am feeling very scattered tonight and tempted to skip this … which probably means it’s a good idea to do. So. Today I am thankful for: 1) The Two Lumps books, which include creator commentary and well as the strips … 2) … and a husband who reads me excerpts from it when I’m stressed out. 3) Yoga and weight lifting, which…

Virtual Window Shopping: Hammock, Anyone?
This hammock at Living XL and rated to 600lbs. Of course, when add you the hammock and the stand together it’s $390 plus shipping (if you’re feeling self-indulgent you can add the weather-resistant pillow for another $70). They also have a wooden stand (450lb capacity) which looks similar to one at Frontgate. Of course, then I remember that I live in Seattle, so not only would it be…
