From Sabrina Dropkick, Chicago IL; favorite food: baked goods.
So I figured it could be cool to post some recipes - both healthy and fatty. For my first post I’ll be sharing a healthy one that seemed both tasty AND creative. With these cheese crisps you can morph the crisps to be whatever shape you’d like when they’re still soft coming out of the oven. HOW FUCKING COOL?! Could...

Fat girls go to prom, too!
From Sabrina Dropkick, Chicago IL; favorite food: baked goods.
So prom season is around the corner and finding that perfect dress can be stressful for anyone. I did a little digging and found some decent sites that provide plus size dresses at reasonable prices. What I also love about these sites is that their plus size clothes are actually modeled by plus size women. Who’da fucking thunk...

Sabrina is the shit...
From Danielle Daigle, Hart County, Kentucky; favorite food: Tastykake Pies
Have you ever looked in a full length mirror, clothes on, or otherwise? Have you ever nit-picked at your own body, all the flaws? All the things you see, that you don’t want to? This is what I go through every day… My only problem is, I “can’t see” well, not literally completely blind, but...

A book for fat punk lesbians
From Sabrina Dropkick, Chicago IL; favorite food: baked goods.
I bought this book a while ago and never got to finish it thanks to a heavy course load this year, but it’s definitely on my list of beach reads for this summer. From what I remember, it’s pretty funny and easy to read.

My fat girl idol.
From Sabrina Dropkick, Chicago IL; favorite food: baked goods.
I’ve always struggled with my weight and will (probably) continue to for the rest of my life. But after being introduced by a lovely band called Gossip, I was also introduced to a newfound confidence in my size with the help of lead singer Beth Ditto.
Here’s a little backstory from her wikipedia page:

“Playing With Myself”
I must have been three or four the first time I played with myself.
