“On a very basic level, My Mad Fat Diary is special to me because Rae is 16 when I was 16, obsessed with the music I was obsessed with at that age, crushing on boys I would have crushed on, living a full, fat, teenaged life. I’ve never seen a movie or TV show that so accurately portrays my own teenage experience, and not in a “stuff only 90’s kids can understand” way, but in a visceral, gut-punching, “stuff only fat girls who grew up hating themselves, learned to hurt themselves, coped through self-deprecating humor and rock ‘n’ roll and healed through therapy and a lot of false starts can understand” way. My Mad Fat Diary, in particular the first six-episode series, is the first full exploration of a fat teenage girl I’ve ever seen, and I’m so grateful it exists. I wish I had seen it sooner. It’s one of those viewing experiences I simultaneously want to share with the world and jealously guard because if the person I share it with doesn’t like it, if they reject it, then ultimately maybe they will reject me (see how this stuff lingers?).”

—Elisabeth Geier, “Girls Like Us” (Best of BW/DR, Jan. 2016)

I don't how this person stumbled on to this photograph but it's pretty amazing to randomly find this in the internet that is not in any way connected to me. Pretty awesome that it's credited—I wouldn't have found this if not!
