Its rare that I get really excited about a blog topic. But I couldn’t help but login in and spread the word about Ampersand’s call for submissions of the first edition of The Big Fat Carnival. My blog is pretty new so I don’t think I’ve written on the topic yet. But seeing as to how my blog is all about anti-oppression, you’d better believe I’ll be getting a post up soon.

Here’s some more info about the project:
The Big Fat Carnival is a carnival for collecting some of the best blog posts regarding fat pride; fat acceptance; critiques of anti-fat bigotry, attitudes and research; celebration of images of fat people; practical difficulties of being fat; fat love (queer and otherwise); feminist views of fat and fat acceptance; the health at every size movement (HAES); and whatever else each edition’s editor feels fits into the theme.
