A couple of links for my poor little neglected blog.
We’re getting ready to move, so that partially explains my absence. We’re also in the midst of renovation hell at my current building, which means we’ve been without heat (during a freak cold snap), without laundry facilities, without hot water, and sometimes without any water. And the electricity in one half of my apartment randomly [...]

Mini-editorials on obesity/HAES.
Reader closetpuritan sent me this link to a series of mini-editorials in the New York Times. Our friends Harriet Brown and Ellyn Satter are among them, along with confused crusader Kelly Brownell (I’m sure he’s perfectly lovely, really.) And, in comments, the always-amusing Ms. M. Roth!

Shit that pisses me off — fat students not allowed to graduate, and other headlines.
If you’re fat, too bad — no degree for you. Not until you’ve been rehabilitated and/or re-educated, that is. Lincoln University has a new policy whereby students with a BMI over 30 are required to either lose weight or take a “Fitness for Life” course. Since they’re obviously too fucking dim to understand anything about [...]
