One of the biggest problem fat people have to contend with is dealing with healthcare and healthcare professionals. The amount of anti-fat bias among medical professionals is well documented; and it has a direct impact on the health of fat people.  Also of concern is medical equipment that cannot accommodate fat bodies and things like…

You know how everyone tells you that you’ll laugh about it later? Well, not always. Even when the situation was objectively kind of hilarious. You know how funny it is when someone is holding onto the dock and their boat is pulled away and the person holding on gets dragged overboard? Hilarious – right? Not…

You know, sometimes (not often, God (TIDBI) knows, but sometimes) there’s nothing going on to WTF about.  So when there is nothing particularly WTF-y going on, I thought I would share some of the things that I tend to say (over and over again, because let’s face it, when you find a saying that works…

Seems we’ve been dumping shows from our regular schedule lately.  Bye-bye Star Girl – too much teenage angst and the same plot over and over (Adult:  Don’t do that Star Girl.  SG: But I have to.  Adult: Well, don’t.  SG: (Later) What could go wrong?

Just to be clear, I wrote this yesterday. The reason I’m posting it now shall become clear. Read on dear friends. I am having little to no luck with computers lately.  A few days after we were on vacation, my laptop (the one that is not quite one year old) died. It is deceased, it…

The director of The Fischer Troupe shows and his partner opened a store in Frankenmuth and offered me a job – as a sales person and helping to manage the place.  I thought it would be fun. Shows how young and stupid I was. The store was beautiful, as only a gay couple with impeccable…

My cell phone used to be through Virgin Mobile – I loved them.  Really reasonable. Never gave me any trouble. Easy to deal with. But they aren’t around anymore and I got switched (without any warning) to Boost Mobile.  Okay.  Then suddenly, last week, I started getting text messages from Boost Mobile saying that they…

I had an appointment with my psychologist today. It went well.  It went well because I am over my latest bout of depression.  She has never seen me not depressed.  Paint my psychologist surprised. She had no idea this is the person I really am. Today, I was my usual (fucking delightful) self.  I did…

Here’s a tip – hot flashes and thermal garments do NOT play well together. This is the voice of experience. Fall has arrived in Northern California.  Often October is one of the hottest months of the year in California (due to the Santa Ana winds) – but not so much this year.  For a couple…
