| 0:00.0 | I'm Sophie, I'm Yelly, and this is She's All Fat, the podcast for fat positivity, radical |
| 0:29.4 | self love and chill vibes only. Now in our final season, in this episode, we're covering |
| 0:35.6 | land and body sovereignty and crushing colonialism with Jen Deer and Water. It's an excellent |
| 0:42.0 | interview because Jen is so smart and intersectional in her work, and for non-native listeners, |
| 0:47.4 | this is a good primer on how fat justice and indigenous justice are connected. |
| 0:51.8 | For our indigenous listeners and other BIPOC folks, there's stuff for you here too, but |
| 0:56.4 | we'd like to offer a content note for settler colonialism, genocide, forced displacement, |
| 1:02.1 | and violence against indigenous folks. If that doesn't seem like content you want to engage |
| 1:07.2 | with right now, take care of yourselves, and stop listening at any time. We love you. |

| 1:44.6 | We have to support. No choice but to support. Catherine is so sweet and funny, and I can't wait |
| 1:51.2 | to watch the rest of the episodes. Yelly, where can the family watch? Big Girl is streaming on a |
| 1:57.3 | platform for indie filmmakers called Sika TV. That's S-E-E-K-A. You can watch all five episodes |
| 2:05.2 | for free without even making an account at watch.seika.tv slash big hyphen girl. We'll link that in |
| 2:14.4 | the show notes along with some other links to Catherine's work. You can follow Catherine at K-S |
| 2:19.6 | Scarborough on Insta. I'm so excited for y'all to check out her work and remember, if you're doing |
| 2:24.6 | something cool and fat-related, shoot us an email so we can shout you the heck out. I want to shout |
| 2:30.4 | the heck out of this fat-moly love letter we just received. We've opened a Google form for you, |
