I can't post pics of Boomettes wearing large solid undies and t-shirts on here (much more than your typical bikini on a skinny person) because they get flagged as sexual. It's RIDICULOUS, stop policing fat people's bodies, @bsky.app

As always, you can’t shame someone into good health, so concern-trolling about weight can fuck right off.

This research suggests that being bullied may cause physical health problems

There's a new issue of Boomagram out, and does it have a cheeky wee discount code for Boom Gin in it? I think it might! Plus, fat babes in good clothes and applications for scholarships to #CampBoomNZ close at midnight tonight!

There is just ONE remaining PENNY ROYALE dress in lipstick left, and it’s a size 3 (24/26). I think it should be yours? It’s $165 and of course it has pockets. Cam is also wearing the lentil bead SCARBOROUGH TCE rainbow necklace $27.50 houseofboom.co.nz/collections/...

I try to be safer but know it’s never 100% -I ask everyone to RAT before any events - masking wouldn’t be possible at Fat Swims - and always allow for refunds if you have COVID

Hey folks, I have an assignment for you! If you have breast tissue (you do, unless it has been surgically removed) please spend a few minutes today having a good old squeeze and poke, so you are up-to-date with knowing what your normal feels like. It could literally save your life. It did for me.
