Abi, a white, fat, butch person with short brown hair, is standing looking down. She is wearing blue rimmed glasses and a lycra cycling jersey with a leaf pattern and bright orange cuffs. There are rocks and the sea in the background. The sky is bright blue.

adding my own cute fat snap to the swell of fat voices shouting fuck you to world obesity day #worldobesitydayhack - here for the fat cyclists and finally hitting publish on the blog I’ve been working on about why I’m sick of the insipid and explicit fatphobia in cycling. (also lol at the irony that I haven’t been able to keep up with a lot of the awesome #dayofdisruption stuff because im away getting my covid jab...am I officially a burden on the nhs now?) #fatcyclist #queer #fatqueer #butch
We've written about queerness, fatness and cycle touring, and done a wee shout out to some LGBTQ+ folks and orgs you should follow for a @sustrans blog ✨link in bio✨ - we only had so many words but we could have gone on forever. infinitely grateful for all the rad folks in cycling ! #cycling #cycletouring #bikepacking #GearsForQueers #queer #FatCyclist #nonbinary #butch #Eurovelo
Check out our bike shed! Only a little proud of all my bike hanging. Finally have space in the shed for...more bikes? Also pls don’t rob us #bikes #bikes #bikes #bikes #bikes
excited to try this oat mylk delivered to our front step! love that it's in a glass bottle which we put back out to be collected, altho also gives me painful flashbacks to trying to sneak in the front door late at night as a teenager and sending a cacophony of empty milk bottles flying in the dark! #vegan #veganfife #veganscotland #oatmylk #whatveganseat #vegansofig #lowwaste
the other day it was actually warm enough to sit down on our fave rock looking out across the forth (are you allowed to sit down outside? idk) anyway it was nice and felt like being on a cycle tour, turns out being outside and it feeling spring-like is like... idk good for you? 🌱 altho after our kayaking adventure yday we have returned to our natural burnt out troll like forms, hunched on our sofa surrounded by mess and a deflated kayak that neither of us have the energy to put away properly ... #fife #scotland #queer #couple #lgbtq #FirthOfForth #sea #shore #coast #mentalhealth #sad
levelled up our morning walks along the forth ... the inaugural voyage of the Bimini Boat Boulash (a working name) was a resounding success. out at 7am, didn't drown, shoulders are killing and got a full day of work ahead now but it was so worth it 🌊🌊 no humpback whales and it will be a while before we can make it to porty beach, but bird calls and stillness and lush morning colours. first prize to anyone who can come up with a boat related pun name... #kayak #kayaking #fife #KayaksDoesntRhymeWithAnything #fifecoast #FirthOfForth #Fatventuring #Fat #Queer #scotland #Sunrise
