The new biggest loser doc absolutely sucks. Here are some reasons why.

It offered absolutely no real critique of anti-fatness and bob’s last garbage bit about how “everyone is obsessed with their weight” DEMANDED that critique. By refusing to give it the doc basically signed off bob’s opinion. Awful.

It reminded me of the Way Down doc. Very disappointing.

Successfully defended my dissertation, “The Fault of Our Forms: Fatness and Race in 20th and 21st-Century American Literature and Culture” yesterday! It’s surreal to be finished with this chapter of my life, especially because it was a very joyous chapter. Feeling grateful and ready for what’s next!

Trump’s Reign of Terror on Schools—and How We Fight Back It’s not enough to be afraid of the laws and rules we don’t want to see in schools. We have to clarify our visions of what we are fighting for.

And yet, as soon as we cede the territory of the imagination, we’ve already lost."

My interview w/ @kdinniene.bsky.social is up at New Books Network! I haven't listened back to it but I know it was fabulous talking with Kendall. But also as soon as this lovely conversation was over I thought about six ways I would have said things differently 😂
