There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Join us for a screening of The Fat Body (In)Visible, a documentary by fat activist Margitte Kristjansson. The film illustrates not only how women in general are told to feel about their bodies, but also how women work to make their fat bodies seen in a world that would rather they remain hidden. Body acceptance activists explore the intersections of race and gender with fatness and find new and inventive ways to be proudly visible subjects through the strategic use of fashion and social media.
