Jun 2010. Texas GOP Unveils Brand New, Far-Right Platform « The Washington Independent. Second Verse, Same As the First; Fat Acceptance Is For Everyone. Here’s the thing I want to repeat, ad nauseum, today: Fat Acceptance is for everyone. Everyone. That means thin people, too. That means fatties who work out at the gym three times a week. That means fatties who sit on the couch and eat doughnuts every single day. That means fatties who fall somewhere in between.
That means thin people who practice any and all of the above behaviors. It means EVERYONE. Fat Acceptance, at its foundation, is about believing there is no such thing as an unacceptable body. It doesn’t matter if your body is a size 4 or a 14 or a 24 or a 34 or AND SO ON. It doesn’t matter if you are a triathelete (of any size) or if you have a physical disability or an invisible illness or something else that keeps your body from performing the way other people think it should. If your body is healthy, by your own standards or conventional medical standards, Fat Acceptance is for you. Fat Acceptance isn’t about imposing other people’s rules on your body. Your body is your body. Shut Up, Foodies! » Blog Archive » He’ll Be Back—To Break Your Back. Red Bike Scare: Republican Candidate Warns Bicycle Rentals Will Lead to UN Take-Over. [img_assist|nid=186163|title=|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=333|height=219]August 4 — Colorado’s Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes has accused his likely opponent, Democratic Mayor John Hickenlooper, of “converting Denver into a United Nations community” by promoting bike riding and other sustainability issues.
According to Maes, who is a Tea Party favorite, Hickenlooper’s bike plans are “all very well-disguised, but [they] will be exposed.” Specifically, the plans that Maes is raising the alarm over include the city’s B-Cycle program which makes a network of about 400 red bikes available for rent at locations throughout the city. B-Cycle’s website touts that, “bike sharing makes it economical and convenient to use bikes for trips that are too far to walk but too short to drive…. With your magic red bike, you don’t have to look for a parking space or bring your own bike with you everywhere you go. More about the “controversial” B-Cycle program: Who to Vote For? Exclusive: First Autistic Presidential Appointee Speaks Out | Wired Science. When Ari Ne’eman walked onstage at a college campus in Pennsylvania in June, he looked like a handsome young rabbi presiding over the bar mitzvah of a young Talmudic scholar.
In truth, Ne’eman was facilitating a different kind of coming-of-age ceremony. Beckoning a group of teenagers to walk through a gateway symbolizing their transition into adult life, he said, “I welcome you as members of the autistic community.” The setting was an annual gathering called Autreat, organized by an autistic self-help group called Autism Network International. Ne’eman’s deliberate use of the phrase “the autistic community” was more subversive than it sounds. The notion that autistic people — often portrayed in the media as pitiable loners — would not only wear their diagnosis proudly, but want to make common cause with other autistic people, is still a radical one. Ne’eman spoke to Wired.com in July in his first interview with the media since his appointment. Ari Ne’eman: No. Ne’eman: I was, actually. Somehow I Am Now Wishing I Had Read More Nietszche When I Was Younger... - Grasping Reality with Both Hands. Last week I spent some time with a group of people I don't usually spend much time talking to.
They were not rich--by which I don't mean that they had overstretched themselves by buying a seven-figure principal residence but rather that they weren't rich: their household income was in the five or, for some of them, perhaps the very low six figures. And (which is unusual for Berkeley) they were not lefties, neither cultural nor sociological. They were deeply concerned with the future of our country. And they were desperate to figure out how to engage in effective political action--but had few illusions that the politicians they would vote for in November were their kind of people with their interests at heart.
I suppose that in a previous era, back when there were private-sector unions, they might have been union stewards. But now we have no private-sector unions. And so they are activists from the California Tea Party. So I went through my standard spiel. SOCIALISM, they said. Oh.
