Such an amazing group people came together to investigate their beliefs + attitudes towards fatness and then to integrate Fat Lib al through the lens and themes of Jupiter, and it made transited through the final degrees of Taurus.

Some things we learned as a group:

• puritanical yt supremacy demonized the rest, luxury, and sensuality that was exhibited throughout Africa
• indulgence is convening with the Earth, partaking in her abundance without exploitation
• audacious yt ideas about fatness became fact with just simple personal reasoning
• bodies were/are seen as the first + primary signal towards a person’s morality + access to control
• thinness doesn’t necessarily bring joy, just leads to external validation
• body diversity is seen in all living things
• getting in touch with Fat Liberation makes it easier to connect to Disability Justice, and seeing how all liberation is interlocked

If you’d like to talk more about these lessons and bring your own learnings/tenets of Fat Liberation to the conversation, join our Fat Lib community space in July! (deets below)
