Fuck Me Gently With A Paperclip

you deserve love, you deserve someone who looks at you like you’re a pretty flower; you deserve cute coffee dates, smiles caused only by you, sleepy conversations, long cuddles and kept promises. you’re good enough so please accept love; I promise that you do deserve it

Universal basic income is essential if we want to build a bright future in the age of automation. 

and so that we are too busy surviving to question their piles of profits. 

one time my childhood friend was playing outside in this same turtle sandbox and she got tired so she laid down in the sand and covered it and fell asleep and her mom couldn’t find her and they put out an amber alert and the cops came and questioned my 10 year old ass because I was “the last person to see her alive”

*takes a free sample twice* i love robbery and fraud

kanye west running for president against joe biden and donald trump in 2020 amidst a global pandemic and massive national civil unrest is like when a tv show just keeps jumping the shark over and over and over again and refuses to end the series except it’s real life and billions of people the world over are affected by this stupid shit

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.

More on that.

Seriously, my body is expecting the next ice age.

…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.

I know a number of gen z kids who are active, regularly exercise / do sports, and are mindful or careful about what they eat but who are considered overweight. They’re healthy kids. They’re strong and have energy. But they’re repeatedly criticized by parents and doctors alike for being “fat”. You wonder why so many kids have anxiety disorders? When you’re trying your best and are still told at every checkup that you need to stop eating junk food and sugar and lying on the couch watching tv because the doctor assumes that a kid living healthily couldn’t possibly be fat so that must be what you’re doing, it hurts. You feel like something is wrong with you. You internalize what you’re being told and it turns to feeling shameful, guilty, not good enough, messed up. I wish parents and doctors could wrap their brains around the fact that fat children can be healthy

Also, women who were pregnant in the 50′s and 60′s were ruthlessly exhorted to minimize weight gain during pregnancy, with doctors often demanding they gain only 15 pounds.  In fact, if they were overweight before getting pregnant, their doctors might urge them to actually lose weight in early pregnancy.  This led to a whole generation of babies who were undernourished during development, which studies have shown can lead to overweight in adults for two or three generations.

There’s a lot wrong with America but Jesus fucking Christ this is the royal cherry on the shitty sundae
