As usual, I’m not finding much queer and/or fat themed/inclusive Purimaterial, especially that I particularly like and haven’t seen before. Nu, if you have thoughts, do let me know. And in the meantime, Queer Fat Femme Bevin Branlandingham’s “Get Me Embodied: Bevin’s Story of Disembodiment” (March 5th 2012) bears repeating, partly because it includes Jews for Racial and Economic Justice (JFREJ)’s Purim Ball.
Also, yes, it's a good reminder that I need to make some queer fat Purimage myself.
And speaking of JFREJ, they're how I heard about Shivtei Shivtei Jeshurun Society's #PurimNotPrejudice; "Wear Costumes, not Cultures. Practice Religion, not Racism". To which I would add / specify that fatphobic "costumes" are also not okay.
I posted elsewhere about Interfaith Worker Justice’s #FastFoodFast in solidarity with the struggle of fast food workers and others, a Lent-centered campaign connected with the #FightFor15 movement and #WageAction day -- mostly April 15th (April 14th in my hometown of Boston due to the Marathon bombing anniversary). Here I want to further raise up the Jewish content, including today's daily prayer and reflection about Purim.
