When I die, please don't put a post up about it on the Main Board. Even if you find it lamentable and I died far too young, don't put up a sad post about it.

In my area, when someone dies in a car wreck, their friends and family put up flowery crosses where the wreck happened. I made my best friend promise me that, if I ever die that way, no such cross will be put up--or that, if one is, she'll whip it right down.

I feel very similarly about the idea of having my death announced on the Main Board.

Instead, if you must, put it in the Weight Board.

Say, "She was fat and they needed a bigger coffin."

Say, "It's okay, she laughed a lot."

Say, "Well, there'll be fewer rants."

But don't ever say, "She died too young."

Don't ever say, "How unfortunate."

Such things negate the joy I have had and still have in this life I'm leading--because as far at my relationship with fat, I am leading exactly the life I want to live.

I'm about to butcher Nikki-Rosa, my favorite poem by Nikki Giovanni. I beg your understanding and forgiveness.

and I really hope no thin* person ever has cause
to write about me
because they never understand
fat love is fat wealth and they’ll
probably talk about my hard childhood**
and never understand that
all the while I was quite happy

* or fat-apologists
** or my "poor health choices"
