Weekend reading
I am an admirer of the author, and I appreciate this poem's message, but I am saddened to see shared as inspirational a poem that absolutely embodies the rampant, unsubtle fatphobia still dominant in literature. Ob*sity is a slur, not a noun. Fat bodies don't "withstand" themselves. They simply are.
