"I am crying. Thank you for writing this.  I desperately need a place where I can dump my front." - Natalie

"I LOVE couscous, that looks amazing thank you!" - Natalie

"oh I get it, you're a troll." - Natalie

"This is so great! Also I used to love n.b. because they used to be my initials. I don't use footnotes but I adore the idea of Easter eggs." - Natalie

"I saw that skirt and wanted it so much!!! It looks great, you should check out the visible belly outline tumblr too :D" - Natalie

"Hi Dee, I did! I am sorry I didn't get back to you sooner to let you know and thank you. It's an amazing kit, can't wait to figure it all out!" - Natalie

"Nah." - Natalie

"I'll probably move my desk against the opposite wall in the next few weeks, we have serious space issues and the configuration above was the first one we tried but it's hard to move around all my tools and supplies! (They're pushed into the walls and corners haha)" - Natalie

"You know, the best thing I saw on tumblr was a graphic that said something about "just getting through the day and surviving" being an achievement if you're sick. I wish we could celebrate that more! And sometimes pajamas are the best and most comfortable attire to celebrate surviving the day in... except we're taught to feel ashamed of it. Surely that can NOT help people with mental illness (I know it doesn't help me!)" - Natalie

"I think what kind of bothers me about the "too fancy to be worn for realsy" outfits is that it reinforces that women, especially fat women, have to work harder (read: wear better clothes and look more ~acceptable~) to be taken seriously/ avoid getting bitched about. I don't like that vibe, and wish that the "everyday casual" could be just fine. I wish we could obliterate that kind of horizontal oppression and the negative self talk that seems to be linked with this kind of feminine performance." - Natalie

"Ahhh the way you write it makes your photo ideas sound super arty!" - Natalie

"Amazing!! I can't wait to see your pics with Velvet. I wish Australia did events like these (or rather that I lived in Sydney where these things tend to happen!)" - Natalie

"Ahhhh vegetarian fatty belly bump!!!" - Natalie

"I think it's perfectly fine to add it to your vegan food blog! Part of the no diet talk deal that I omitted from this post (and I'll probably write about it at length soon) is body autonomy, and while we seek to create spaces that don't talk about dieting, the weight loss industry or weight loss itself we should also strive to respect each person's right to do with their bodies what they want." - Natalie

"That's totally my evil plan. Fat Satan told me to." - Natalie

"Please go ahead!!! I'm cool with the graphic being turned into avatars and icons for social media and blogging :D" - Natalie

"I want to be there omg!" - Natalie

"Thank you for sharing and writing s.e, I can't tell you how much it means to me that you're sending out these raw, beautiful words into the word all the time and unknowingly helping me feel like I'm not alone. I get a lot of comments from people who think I'm some kind of princess, living the "lady of leisure" life just because I don't work a regular job. Because I can't. A lot of the time I'm living from moment to moment just to cover my basic human needs and these people have this romantic idea that I'm free to do whatever they dream they would be doing if they didn't have to work. And that sucks and hurts." - Natalie

"Ahhh I just came across a free pdf of Lutterloh system fancy dress costumes, but the whole book is German!! This sounds amazing :D" - Natalie

"A print of the pattern so you can sew it? I only have it in my size unfortunately and don't really trust my grading for other sizes, eep!" - Natalie

"Aw thanks Alana!" - Natalie

"I think she got them from an online glasses shop, but I'm not sure which one!" - Natalie

"Oh dear, I must fix that up and make a mental note for the future!" - Natalie

"It's just a Canon 1000D, the super basic entry level DSLR!" - Natalie

"I neeeed a blouse like the last one. It's so freaking cute!" - Natalie

"OH GOD I SAW THAT BLAZER AND I STOPPED READING AND STARTED OBSESSING" - Natalie

"Yes! We adopted her a few weeks ago. Scroll back for lots more photos of her :D:D" - Natalie

"Mean people on the internet  are so bad for the skin." - Natalie
