Who’d like some science to start off the week? How about delicious delicious science which points out that obesity is actually an entirely normal human variation?! (Nod to the Fat Nutritionist, who posted this link first.)
A Series of Questions is an amazing photoessay.
There’s a great series on female athletes unfolding over at The Angry Black Woman.
Speaking of female athletes, another excellent post on Womanist Musings, asking why it is that when Black female athletes perform at the top of their field, they are inevitably cut down.
How’d you like to read about the NHS from the perspective of an American who has actually experienced it?

“Check my what?” is an excellent resource on checking your privilege; I would highly recommend reading it, because it has some great information and additional resources. I have to say, it was somewhat amusing (and illustrative) that on the very same day I read it, someone politely and gently pointed out that I was being a privileged ass, and this resource allowed me to demonstrate the only rational response: say “I’m being a privileged ass,” apologize, express appreciation for the privilege check, sit down, and shut up.
