Marianne Kirby is a fat activist, author, and maker, living in the land of year-round produce. Author of the popular fat acceptance blog The Rotund (http://www.therotund.com) and coauthor of Lessons From the Fat-O-Sphere: Quit Dieting and Declare a Truce with Your Body, Marianne also writes about the body (and nail polish) at Xojane (xojane.com).

 

 

Margitte Leah Kristjansson is a fat activist, blogger, filmmaker, and communication PhD student at UCSD, whose work is situated within the field of fat studies. She blogs about all things fat at margitteleah.com and riotsnotdiets.com. Information about her film is available at fatbodyinvisible.com.

 

Brian Stuart has been blogging about fat acceptance and other issues at Red No. 3, red3.blogspot.com, since 2003. His notable online activism projects include the creation of a series of “Fat Hate Bingo” cards, the “Maggie After Dieting” series which include visual responses to a fat-shaming children’s book, and creation of the Twitter hashtag #ThingsFatPeopleAreTold for which he was interviewed for CBS News in Boston and Philadelphia. When not upsetting and/or annoying people online, he works in arts administration and lives with his wife in Greater Boston. He was once called “dangerous” by an anonymous internet commenter and considers this the highest complement he has ever received.
