[Bumped to the top!]<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m now taking submissions for the First Edition of The Big Fat Carnival<\/strong><\/a>. If you have a blog and you’re sympathetic to the cause, please consider linking to this post!<\/p>\n

The Big Fat Carnival<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

(But please note, The Big Fat Carnival<\/strong> is not<\/i> a place to advocate weight-loss diets, weight loss surgery (WLS), or feederism<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The first edition of The Big Fat Carnival<\/strong> will be hosted by Ampersand on “Alas” on Tuesday, February 7th. Please read the call for submissions, and submit your posts to Ampersand via email<\/a> or via this webform<\/a>. The deadline for submissions is Sunday, February 5th.<\/p>\n

Since this is the first edition, feel free to submit not only new posts, but also any old posts you’ve written – or that other folks have written – that you consider particularly loaded with merit.<\/p>\n

And if you’d like to host a future edition of The Big Fat Carnival<\/strong> on your own blog, please email Ampersand and we’ll get you hooked up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
