So, apparently this happened today! The Rosie Posie has been listed under social work blogs, and I'm so shocked! Â I haven't been on Tumblr for a while, so I was pretty confused to see that I was being followed by 5 new people, out of the blue, today.
Thank you for listing The Rosie Posie! I think I'll give Tumblr another shot!

When it comes to online shopping, I don't think it's an issue of "more fabric being used = higher cost", I think it's more likely due to the fact that they make S, M, & L (maybe even XL) shirts in bulk and have them in stock, but they may need to make smaller or larger sizes fresh (if that makes sense).
Ex: I was thinking of buying a shirt from HerInteractive recently. I wear an XL, which I believe was the base price, but I noticed the XS and XXL shirts were extra.
This was not the only one that was like this on the website. One t-shirt even had as much as an $8 difference. I am in mixed minds about this, because yes it does mean extra material to make a larger size, but is it really fair to punish fat people for needing a larger size? Not to mention, If you as a skinny fat go to get a smaller size, you put yourself at risk of people telling you your t-shirt is too tight and being ridiculed for back fat. I just donât understand why they canât just offer larger clothes at the same price as smaller sized people? Is it because their profit margin is lessened by the extra couple dollars it cost to make the t-shirts? Probably. But compared to the fact that if a fat person finds a store that sells clothes which fits and that they like, and where they arenât charged more than a person, chances are they will gain a customer that comes back again. I donât know, I donât get it. I know itâs thin privilege, but part of me is saying âyeah, but the extra material costsâ, do mods have any light to shed on this?Â
âââââ
Mod note:
Weâve talked about this before, and the $2 extra for plus sizes is apparently built into the big wholesalers of shirts before they even go to print. Others have mentioned that the actual cost of extra material is only pennies on top of the price, and others argue that the plus size âtaxâ is about economies of scale (which I donât buy given that the average size woman in the US is an XL).
I think t-shirt companies â in this case, the wholesalers â charge fat people extra because everyone else does, and stop at one size over âaverageâ while going three (and sometimes more) sizes under average because everyone else does. Itâs built into the system. And itâs going to change slowly, if ever. But being pissed off about it and especially writing emails/letters of protest to places that charge more for larger sizes will help change things more quickly.

It sounds to me that the "thin privilege" in this case is really about knowing how to choose people of worth to hang out with. I feel bad that you got burned by this jerk, but your average Joe or Jane would not act like this. Personally, I think I'd be worried for an old friend that gained a lot of weight since the last time I saw them, because that could be a symptom of something a lot more pressing.
Thin privilege is not being nervous about sending an old crush a recent picture because youâve gained 50 pounds in the five years itâs been since youâve seen them.
Thin privilege is not being rewarded for overcoming that nervousness with the response, âDaaaamn, you got FAT!â
Thin privilege is not being told, âItâs okay  that you got fat, John Doe got even more fat!â and then subjected to every âfat jokeâ that friend can think of.

So I got sent to the dean today for wearing this top. My study tech teacher said that I was âexploitingâ myself and that it could be a distraction to the other students. I got up out of my seat and told her that I wasnât going to listen to her dress codes. In a way, she was being misogynist and slut shaming and I think thatâs wrong. I will continue to wear what I want and nobody can tell me not to. The fact that womens bodies are sexualized and objectified so much angers me and thatâs the reason why this happened. Iâm going to wear what I want, how I want, when I want and thatâs it.

If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like âYou need to eat!â
Photographer Gabriele Galimbertiâs grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures. Â
âIn that occasion I said to my grandma âYou know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks,â Galimberti wrote via email. âIâm going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you donât have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!â This is the way my project was born!â
The project, âDelicatessen With Loveâ, took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.
He acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.
From top to bottom:Â
Inara Runtule, 68, Kekava, Latvia. Silke Â(herring with potatoes and cottage cheese).
Grace Estibero, 82, Mumbai, India. Chicken vindaloo.
Susann Soresen, 81, Homer, Alaska. Moose steak.
Serette Charles, 63, Saint-Jean du Sud, Haiti. Lambi in creole sauce.
The photographerâs grandmother Marisa Batini, 80, Castiglion Fiorentino, Italy. Swiss chard and ricotta Ravioli with meat sauce.
Normita Sambu Arap, 65, Oltepessi (Masaai Mara), Kenya. Mboga and orgali (white corn polenta with vegetables and goat).
Julia Enaigua, 71, La Paz, Bolivia. Queso Humacha (vegetables and fresh cheese soup).
Fifi Makhmer, 62, Cairo, Egypt. Kuoshry (pasta, rice and legumes pie).
Isolina Perez De Vargas, 83, Mendoza, Argentina. Asado criollo (mixed meats barbecue).
Bisrat Melake, 60, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Enjera with curry and vegetables.

This is NOT the kind of blog I wanted to find scrolling through the education tag.
A teacher who mocks her students, doesnât care about revealing their identities and potentially embarrassing them (câmon, that Post-It isnât hiding âNancyâsâ name), and uses her free time to upload such pictures instead of actually becoming a better teacher. If more than one of your students leaves HALF A PAGE of homework blank, youâre failing them. For a professed English lover to be teaching every subject except French, math included, is ridiculous. But to mock your own students on your blog? Thatâs obscene.

(via She Works: The Only Woman in the Room : NPR)
NPRâs Nina Totenberg on being the only woman in the room:
âMy first piece of advice is get another woman in the room. And my second is demand respect. You should get it. You donât have to be a man to get it. You donât have to be a flirt to get it. Just be yourself and if itâs not working for some reason, just say so.â

When have you been the only woman in the room? â Heidi

NBA star Jason Collins reveals he is gay
Sports Illustrated: Washington Wizards center Jason Collins reveals he is gay in a story published Monday.Â
Collins writes in the story:
I didnât set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, Iâm happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasnât the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, âIâm different.â If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why Iâm raising my hand.

Super Silky Summer Legs
Next time you are feeling down, about to binge, going on a date, or just need to pamper yourself, do this. I just did it and I can not stop rubbing my legs together. It feels like I paid for that over expensive pedicure at the salon.
Ingredients
1Â 1/4Â C Sugar (Yup, plain, good-olâ white sugar)
1/2Â C Oil (I used olive oil, but you can use any oil, coconut oil, baby oil, canola oil)
3 tablespoons Citrus (Lime or lemon)
1-2 Razors
Mix everything together in a bowl.
Soak your legs in the tub for 5 minutes.
Shave your legs.
Rub some of this mixture all over your legs. The sugar will help rub off all dirt and dead skin. Rub, rub. Feels like a mini massage.
Rinse it all off, shave again. I would use one razor per leg if you have two. You will be rinsing this razor a lot. I was GROSSED out by the amount of dead skin I was âshavingâ off. It was insane! Trust me, youâll see.
Rub your legs again! Second coat of wax, oh yeah.
Rinse off! You can use a mild soap to help get some of the oil off.
Lotion your legs up, and feel the silkiness!
Now this isnât just geared to ladiesâŚ. guys, if you want to get lucky, I suggest you offer to rub your ladiesâ feet with this mix too. It feels awesome, and when you get lucky, you will be thanking me that her rough grandma feet arenât cutting your legs, if ya know what Iâm saying⌠hahaha.
I have silky arm pits too!!
Try it, I swear, You will want everyone to touch your legs.
