How to write a fancy-ass paper
I’m trying to get started on my paper for the fat studies conference and, like usual, I’m not making a very good start.

I am important enough to have a facebook page…

Illustration Friday: Similar
I was just recommending Illustration Friday to Tea when I thought I’d check out this week’s word. SIMILAR! It’s pretty awesome that I’ve done something that ties in so well quite by accident twice now! I am the IF psychic. If you click on the picture it’ll take you to the Red Bubble page where…
