Happy Friday, and happy almost-Halloween! Do you have anything fun planned for the weekend or next Wednesday?
A chocolate haunted house!
I’m going to start organizing Friday links by categories, in order to make them easier to browse.

-Plus size fashion blogger Elann Zelie launches a clothing line, Zelie for She.

-This list is a good reminder of why access to clothing matters.
–Out and about: Haute Curves made history during L.A. fashion week.
-Shawna of Chubby Cartwheels has two posts about fat-positive shopping in Portland, OR. I’m so jealous–I’ll definitely check out those stores if I ever make it to Portland.

-Pictures from Adele’s Vogue shoot.
-Suggestions for finding plus-size goth clothing.

There’s nothing like hot chocolate on a chilly fall day.
Fat activism

-Great advice on responding to fat-hate from Texts from Dog.
-Tori has a great hypothetical response to people who want her to join a weight-loss-oriented link exchange.

-A brave young woman put up a self-portrait in her underwear as a statement about self-acceptance.
–My fat body is me: so much yes to all of this.
-A response to fat-shaming within progressive communities.
