is it weird that as i got through the tweet my understanding of it lessens?
If you had a recent ancestor who went through starvation it actually altered their genetics and may have passed down genes to you that make you hold on to fat. So this tweet is more accurate than you’d think.
MY FUCKING GREAT GRANDFATHER LITERALLY FLED LEBANON DUE TO A FUCKING FAMINE AND MY GRANDMOTHER AND DAD AND I ARE ALL FAT AS FUCKING HELL.
FUCK ME RUNNING I DID NOT KNOW THIS.
…That’s going to apply also to anyone whose recent ancestors voluntarily dieted a lot, isn’t it. Diet culture long-term causes more obesity. Sure, it takes decades to show up, but anything you’d hear today about childhood obesity would reflect that. Exercising is still very good for most people, but trying to lose weight shouldn’t be the goal for most people, because a) it usually doesn’t work very well or it comes back and b) your kids or grandkids could end up with extra wonky metabolisms. (And while fat itself is actually not that much of a problem if you keep your fitness up, it can be hard on your joints. That’s actually the biggest health risk if you’re “small end of fat,” under 40, and active–joint problems.)
THAT MOTHERFUCKING ARTIFICIAL FAMINE THAT’S IT I’M GONNA FIGHT THE ENGLISH
Honestly, “I’m gonna fight the English” is a good reaction to a lot of things.
The fucking mutants that camped overnight got offered free food. The homeless people got kicked out the area by police.
Think about what you’re endorsing.
The thing is, blacklisting queen on twitter wont make London law enforcement give the homeless free food. This isn’t a supply and demand situation. Boycotting the royal wedding has no impact on the treatment of homeless people in the next one. I think we should support homeless shelters in the area or start a petition or something. Blacklisting words on twitter and sleeping in instead of watching does… nothing lol.
Thanks for that fucking hot take🙄
Drawing attention to injustices while the country is forced to bankroll a wedding is absolutely worth it.
Sorry I dinnae have boots on the ground in London to take on the British police, ya total div.
Nah the cunts right, boycotting it will do fuck all! Gees a sec while I pop to Marks & Spencers to buy a royal wedding biscuit tin 🙄
Boycotting the wedding on social media may not have as big an impact as we want it to, but it allows us to not support or have to see the biggest benefit cheats in the country have a party while people who live on the streets get cleared out of the way. Also, social media drums up publicity for issues such as this and can help raise awareness. But nah, you know what, I’ll shove the telly on and whip out my royal wedding shortbread.
It’s a voice against the sycophantic arse suckers who love the royal family.
The royal family that plays a role in keeping poor people poor. The royal family are a bunch of tax avoiders, and they held stakes in schemes that increased the cost of items for those who couldn’t afford to purchase outright.
Anyone who criticises the smaller voices against the royal family are just helping fuel an already overwhelming circlejerk.
Old farmhouse in Peak District, England by Daniel Casson
#nature #Peak District #travel #greenery #photography
The Peak District is at the southern end of the Pennines (a range of mountains and hills) and mostly in northern Derbyshire; but includes parts of Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Staffordshire, West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire as well. In spite of the nomenclature, the landscape generally lacks sharp peaks but is characterised instead by rolling round hills and peaceful plateaus, voluptuous valleys and lovely limestone gorges. It’s mostly rural but surrounded by lots of conurbations and urban areas and other places with chain stores and car parks.
