Page 90: Things Your Fat Friend Wants You to Know

I know it’s against the rules but I tend to lurk in comment sections on the internet. It’s bad practice. I never recommend it to anyone else. But, like a smoker who tells kids to never get hooked, here I am. On Facebook, on Instagram, articles… I haven’t got the patience to lurk too deep on Twitter–thank goodness. I’ve seen troublesome statements in comments sections but I’ve also heard them in real life and I’m going to tell you, now, what’s not okay about some things that aren’t okay.

Page 89: So, You Wanna Talk About Podcasts?

Do you want me to have a friend-crush on you? Tell me about what you’re reading or what podcasts you’re hooked on. Homina homina homina.

The other day I went through all the podcasts that I’m subscribed to and the number was 36. THIRTY SIX! That’s too many! And still… if I’m being completely honest with you? Not enough. In my defense, I will tell you that many that I am subscribed to are currently on hiatus or were a one-and-done situation. I’m not currently listening to 36 podcasts consistently.

Page 87: Feminist Friday feat. Ellie

This is part of a long series of posts which will be known as Feminist Fridays. Because individuality is at the heart of feminism, I’m going to open up this space to different people each week to share with us a little portion of their unique journey.

I met Ellie when I was a little kid. She was in my older brother’s class and I always had a friend-crush on her because she seemed so much more kind than many of the other, older kids in our small-town school. I always wanted to be like her in that way. When we were teenagers, we became very close friends for a few years. But time went on, she got married–I moved away for college. Truthfully, I always thought that Ellie would be one of those friends that I never got to see very often.
But I remedied that big time when I married her brother this past May!

Page 86: Checking in for April

You’ve probably heard this 6,000 times already but can you believe it’s already April? Spring has sprung. The flowerbed and my front yard are here to prove it.

Are you using Ibotta? And if not, why the heck not? You buy groceries, right? This app will literally pay you to buy groceries and other things. Ryan and I started using it at the beginning of the year and have decided to save up all the money that we’re racking up in there to use when we go on vacation to Mississippi and New Orleans next month. So far, you guys, we’re up to over $70! Which is going to be so gosh darn helpful on a road trip, right? That is going to cover a few tanks of gasoline! Or, like, at least half the snack budget.
If you want to try it out, use this link. You’ll get $10 and I’ll get $5! It pays out by way of gift cards or PayPal.
