What I genuinely enjoy about the fat acceptance/celebration movement is that I often cannot tell and can find no way to ascertain when someone is trolling them and when they are making what they feel is a valid point. Poe’s Law, I know….

Like this.

I think this is not a troll as she makes other similar tweets and she is the size of a house (if that is her actual identity and photo).

But I truly cannot definitively tell. I’d say 70% chance not an Olog-hai and 30% chance troll. But god, I just don’t know.

One of the contradictions of modernity is that as empirical knowledge is solidified, social knowledge is de-codified and made yet another tradable commodity with all the newly-possible attendant representational distortions for purposes of signalling and tribal affiliation — all inherent to the relatively-novel ability for the previously-reliable signifiers to be obfuscated or self-generated.

Personae bloom in the shattered data stream like poppies colonizing a fire-marred slope.

OK, that’s a little too much social analysis for making fun of Miss Hammaspeikko. I’m out.
