A Flight of Ideas. December 2, 2008 at 10:57 am ( Uncategorized. I don’t have any happy things to say today. No good morals to the story of my life. I am sad and worn out, and I want out. I have cried myself to sleep three nights in a row. I am tired of nighttimes, where every dark thought creeps its way into my head, and there aren’t good answers to the problems that I have found myself in, and I wish I was 20 again and a smoker and a full of an arrogant resolve that said I could do anything. I am afrai...

A Flight of Ideas. May 29, 2008 at 2:42 pm ( emotions. Last night I snapped and it felt good. It is officially summer. I have endured outrage upon outrage from my homophobic, transphobic, fatphobic, conservative, fundamentalist Christian family in the past six months. I have suffered physical and emotional effects. It has taken a toll on me. I have not been quite myself. I have blamed myself, wondered what I did wrong, wallowed in self-pity. Have a great summer! The personal touch of Rachel Moss. But the...

A Flight of Ideas. Now that you’re starting T. January 9, 2009 at 10:29 am ( Uncategorized. I just want to say that once you guys step into the world of being guys with the addition of testosterone, you lose the privilege of commenting on women’s bodies. You don’t get to say things like “She’s really good in bed, but her face looks like a horse.”. That’s a very male privileged thing to do, and it comes at the cost of women. In your blooming adolescence, you don’t get to trample on the spirits of th...

A Flight of Ideas. Queer but not so queer. February 26, 2008 at 11:14 pm ( feminism. So On to other matters. Me, N, and two others were gathered at N’s house tonight, just shooting the shit. We are all relatively close in age, a diverse range of race and educational and gender and work experiences. What ties us all together is one group classification: we all identify as queer. And then, I couldn’t relate. Here’s the thing. I have never seen the L Word, and I really don’t care to. Of course everyone shou...

A Flight of Ideas. Life as Most Average-Sized People …. I can be sure that people aren’t embarrassed to be seen with me because of the size of my body. If I pick up a magazine or watch TV, I will see bodies that look like mine that aren’t being lampooned, desexualized, or used to signify laziness, ignorance, or lack of self-control. When I talk about the size of my body I can be certain that few other people will hope they are never the same size. People won’t ask me why I don’t change the si...My mascul...

A Flight of Ideas. January 31, 2008 at 7:27 pm ( acceptance. Now be prepared for a rant. I mean, I guess I couldn’t be surprised that a state like Mississippi would be the state to suggest such absurdity: After all, they aren’t the most forward thinking state in the country. It’s not like they are known for their shining examples of race relations or education. Like, what do we need, people: A Roe v. Wade for fatness? How can this even be possible? According to Junkfood Science,. Or will restaurant manag...

A Flight of Ideas. Let up on Palin. September 3, 2008 at 10:49 am ( activism. My political slip is going to show in this post. I stopped regularly following the election when we all realized Clinton wasn’t going to get the nomination. Obama is fine, I just don’t think he is experienced enough. That’s all. And here is what I am seeing:. I have yet to see any smear campaigns about Biden. I barely know who Biden is. Except that he’s white and male. And that’s probably the point. She is a member of the NRA.

A Flight of Ideas. October 12, 2008 at 2:49 pm ( Uncategorized. Except what’s stuck in there is my brain, and nothing is going to fix is except a surgeon, and that’s two weeks away. But what if that does not happen to me? What if things just go on the same? When I get home, what if I am still looking at the same yellow leaves? What if I don’t get magically better, and I am a case that requires more brain surgery, a shunt in my back? What if I just am sick for good this time? Will I be a disappointment?
