Dana, Hilary, and Sirius record the last Body Trust Podcast episode before a summer sabbatical. They discuss “hot topics,” including Sports Illustrated’s diverse swimsuit runway and the cultural fixation on “flattering” as code for making bodies look smaller, plus fashion imagery like aprons and restrictive mouth accessories. They reflect on Virgie Tovar’s point that thriving in the body positivity era required different skills than the current GLP-1 era, emphasizing critique, liberatory consciousness, discernment, community-building, and skepticism of marketing claims about GLP-1s and “hedonic behavior.” They share summer fat-community resources and events, including fat swims/chunky dunks, Portland’s Fat Fest (June 28 2026), BIPOC Eating Disorder Conference (virtual, July 16–18 2026), and a Minneapolis in-person event on Body Trust in the Age of Ozempic (July 24 2026).
