What is the aim of this blog?

I've been thinking further about what I want to do with this blog, why I want it to exist and it's niche.  There are several areas that I am passionate about:

- Fat Acceptance
- Rediscovering pleasure from food and cooking
- BDSM Acceptance
- Acceptance of non-normative sexualities and relationship practices
- Literature, Film and Theory that explores the above issues

This blog will have writings upon all of these areas and how they interact with one another.  It will not be a narrow focused blog but will connect these ideas because no one area exists in a vacuum. All of these areas have been the focus of my academic work at some point or other, I want to use this blog as a place to test out ideas and allow me to write about things that fascinate me (and hopefully others) in a less formal environment. 

I also want to use this blog as a place to help instigate meet-ups, events and encourage discussion.  Perhaps there could even be discussion events? informal seminars?  I'm open to ideas.  I just feel excited and want to share that with others!
