A bit of a memoir, a bit of a manifesto, Jes Baker tells us what she thinks about a lot of different things. A "body positive" activist, she doesn't really give a shit what you think of her body and how you are going to tell her you are worried "for her health." She points out it is "my body, my rules" which she had tattooed rather predominately on her body. Seems fair. I mean, just like we are having a resurgence of hate and loathing in this country, Jes is here to tell you that she is a person who makes her own choices. So suck it up. I like that attitude. The memoir part about her relationship with her dad is a little frightening. She, however, sees what it has given her and how she is stronger after some adversity. Good for Jes! She seems quite beautiful inside and out despite her struggles.
