Green apple sorbet on a sunny autumn day. on Flickr.

I’m contemplating espresso gelato right now!

The green apple was very nice, but my favourite from this gelateria is their burnt caramel. Om nom nom!

I assume you’ve already seen this, but just in case you haven’t, they have this series of mildly passive aggressive politeness reminders on the trains in Japan. This one reads “your seat should only be as wide as your bottom, not the width of your spread legs.” Words to live by.

————————————-

A+ Japan

Urgent memo to all men riding buses, trains, and in all public seating areas: “Your seat should only be as wide as your bottom, not the width of your spread legs.”

Somebody want to explain to me how that’s passive-aggressive? It’s very direct, really. Reminder: Do this, not that. I like it.

Fuckin’ YES!! I am so sick of being given the hairy eyeball for “taking up too much space” as a fat woman while dudes all around me pull the old giant invisible testicles pose.

A thin-privileged mindset is feeling entitled to say what is and what is not fat discrimination or fat oppression…even though you’re not fat.

thisisthinprivilege:

I’ve been seeing way too many of these in various tags, lately. I don’t think the authors of these posts understand they’re proving that fat discrimination and oppression exists, since apparently fat people aren’t allowed to speak for ourselves.

Chicken Salad Sandwich

We feel zero shame in saying that we don’t always brown bag it.

It’s hard to be an adult. Sometimes we cannot believe that anyone on the planet has time to spend the day at the office, commute, make sure your plants/pets/children are clean and watered, put food in your face— potentially feeding others, maybe have a social life or deskank your house, AND still possess the forethought, motivation, clean pans, and stocked fridge necessary to make the next day’s lunch.

Leftovers make us more likely to save the cash of running to the deli next door, but present the problem of being boring and easy to forget in the fridge. The secret we’ve found to successfully taking your lunch to work is to make something that’s exciting— and working with a recipe that’s half done before you even started.

Chicken salad is tasty, nutrient-diverse, and impossibly satisfying. You can make a batch big enough to keep it in the fridge for four days with totally minimal effort— and not too many dishes. When you short cut it by using store bought rotisserie chicken, it is one hundred percent idiot proof. And probably more delicious.

Chicken Salad Sandwich

2 cups Grapes

4 stalks Celery

1 tsp Fresh Thyme

A Handful of Fresh Parsley

½ Rotisserie Chicken

¼ cup Greek Yogurt

¼ cup Mayonnaise

1 tbsp Soy Sauce

Lots of Black Pepper

¼ cup Pistachioes

Good, sexy, crusty Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread, cut in fat slices

Lettuce, of your choosing

Grab a big cutting board. Wash your Celery and Grapes, cut into bite size pieces; roughly chop the Parsley and Thyme. Set this produce aside in a large bowl with the Pistachios.

Pull, chop, shred, or otherwise remove the Chicken from its bones. This is the only time we will ever recommend you lose its skin. Because Ew.

Add the Chicken, Yogurt, Mayonnaise, Soy, and Pepper, being sure to mix thoroughly. If things look too dry, add another squirt of Mayo or dollop of Yogurt.

Park it in the fridge overnight in individual portions, and bring your Bread and Lettuce separately.

I just made a variation on this (changed the mix ins really - grapes and celery are not my bag for chicken salad) and it’s DELICIOUS! Lunches for the next few days… sorted.

onthefatwalk:

Remember that time a plus size company took a risk (which we all beg for) and the whole community was supportive and didn’t bitch and moan about EVERYTHING??!! ….

Oh wait that never happened because all I ever see is bitching!!

Too bright, too tight, too long, too short…I wish it had better support, it is not very flattering…blah blah blah. GET A GRIP people…so sick of seeing negativity every time I turn on the computer.

Appreciate the hard work and stop setting the fatshion world back…pretty soon we are only going to have 2 styles of clothing to choose from and all from 1 store.

fortysixjay:

So basically, be grateful for your continued lack of options because it could be worse.

Fuck being grateful. Fuck being grateful for weird, frumpy, unfashionable clothes. Fuck being grateful for cheap fabrics at jacked up prices. Fuck being grateful for only being allowed to buy online because they don’t want us in their stores. Fuck being grateful for clothes that are not what we want them to be. Fuck being grateful for brands creating an “innovative” range that is not what we asked for and shows no innovation at all. And especially fuck being grateful when those brands cut out a bunch of larger fat sizes as if it’s too hard to cater to us.

Complain. Nobody tells straight sizes they shouldn’t complain when companies fail them in their products/services or prices, so fuck off telling we fats to shut up and just tolerate half-arsed attempts to placate us.
