She's All Fat: A Fat Positive Podcast

Destroying The COVID-19 Fat Joke

Season 5, Ep. 8

In this episode, we’re talking about FAT JOKES THAT ARE ON OUR LAST NERVE IN QUARANTINE TIMES feat. our fave recurring anon guest, Your Fat Friend.


CALL TO ACTION: Support the Black and Indigenous Communities of Chicago.


You have probably heard about the extreme violence the US government is deploying on Portland protestors. The president announced on July 20th that he was expanding this “federal crackdown” to other major cities, notably Chicago. Chicago obviously has a much larger population of Black and Indigenous people than Portland — and we need to come together with solidarity and support. 


There are a lot of resources out there to learn and contribute to. I want to point you to the Chi-Nations Youth Council — follow their instagram to WITNESS what is happening in Chicago; if you’re in Chicago, show up to their rallies if you’re able, and if not, contribute by sharing their info and donating to their paypal. 


And to our Black/Indigenous fatmily members in Chicago and elsewhere, stay safe. We love you.
