Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This piece uses Sara Ahmed’s writing on the notion of public comfort as a jumping off point and incorporates fat studies scholarship to explore the private comfort offered by fat queer love. Working with digital posts from superfat non-binary writer J Aprileo (Comfy Fat) on Instagram, Patreon, and their website, and to a lesser extent the posts of Corissa Enneking (Fat Girl Flow), this paper examines the power of queer fat kinship to contravene the expectation for fat people to embody the “Good Fatty” archetype and to resist the dominant narratives surrounding acceptable trajectories of linear “progress.” Looking at fat queer kinship underlines how comfort is relationally experienced and generated. The internet is explored as a space for comfy intimate publics, and Aprileo’s work is situated in a lineage of fat queer activism and affective resistance.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
