Susan W posted a recipe in her facebook the other day for a chocolate cake made with earl grey and it sounded fantastic.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Nora, on a somewhat different note, I thought you should know that because of you pointing me to it, I have been reading Kate Harding's blog regularly. It's sinking in slowly.

Nora, please feel free to vent here as much as you need to. We're there with you in spirit, even if we can't be in person.

Oh, Nora honey, I'm so sorry that I'm not home right now so that I could drive over and give you a hug and make you the priority. Hugs and kisses.

The status is NOT quo.
Oh Nora, I wish I could do something to make this any better or any easier. Please know that we are here, and please don't hesitate to come vent or rant or distract yourself here. We love you.

Nora, I hope you were able to decompress a little bit and get away from all the yelling.

That's awesome, Andi! Let me qualify that: I don't think that the message of fat acceptance is "You're fat; that's the way it is. Deal." or "If you're fat, you won't change, so accept it!"
Some fat acceptance blogs, on the face of it, sound like #2. And some really do give that message. I don't get that from Kate Harding's blog. The general message I've gotten is this: "Yeah, according to an outside standard -- which is often arbitrary -- you're fat. That's okay. It's not a crime, it's not a moral failing, and it's not that easy to get rid of, but that's okay, too. No matter what your size, you deserve love, respect, to be treated like any other human being, comfortable airline seats, romance, and pretty clothes. And fuck anyone who says otherwise."
Which is a pretty good message. I've simplified it down, of course, but on the whole, I really like her blog and what she says.

Yay! That is cheering.
Thanks for the support. It really makes a difference having a supportive place away from the madness that I can just vent and not have to worry about sounding pitiful or lame (even though I might be!)
