Whyโs everyone acting like weโre not still in the middle of a pandemic...???
Man, when I was like 16 I got so sick of being made fun of for being the fat kid that I took an axe down inna woods, chopped down a tree, and started doing log-lifts all the time. I got strong as fuck, but I didnโt lose no weight. I actually got bigger.
Same thing happened when I got into fighting. I got even stronger, and I got *fast*, man, and nimble, like a cat. Still chubby.
Body-building culture is a bunch of crap, my dude. Functional muscle is not necessarily toned or lean. You can be swole as hell and still be heavy. And thatโs cool.
Embrace your inner barbarian. And when fatphobic little gym twinks try to body shame you, you should DESTROY THEM with your MIGHTY AXE
Can comfirm, i am Quite Fat โข but i still hit my punching bag hard enough last week make it touch the ceiling and broke a finger in the process
You know, I train with (martial arts) a bunch of dudes, and a few bodybuilders have showed up over the years.ย
And every damn one of those huge shredded motherfuckers has the endurance of a fucking newborn puppy. Fifteen minutes into warmups and theyโre panting for air like like theyโre about to die. Iโve sparred them and every one of them telegraphs their moves about two weeks in advance, and are slower than my dead grandpa because their huge useless muscles get in the damn way.ย
Now. I also work with a couple of guys who are not weightlifters. They do, however, do very physical jobs and are Big Dudes. Picture this sort of build.ย
No abs to speak of, a bit of a tummy, and those motherfuckers can pick up one of the weightlifters and throw them.ย
And theyโre fast. Like, unfair fast.ย
Bodybuilding culture is bullshit. Embrace your status as a giant barbarian and if anyone gives you crap throw them off a mountain.ย
i love and support all strong, fat people
As someone who also was in martial arts all of this is so real.
Strong, healthy bodies do not look like the dangerously dehydrated actors in marvel movies
me remembering all of the personal information Iโve shared with ppl I no longer talk to:
CAUSE EVERY TIME WE TOUCH I GET THIS FEELING
EVERY TIME WE KISS I SWEAR I COULD FLY
CANโT U FEEL MY HEART BEAT FAST, I WANT THIS TO LAST
NEED YOU BY MY SIDE

Dear Care and Feeding,
My wife and I and our 4-year-old son were out to dinner last week. It was a medium-nice restaurant, not fast food, but not super fancy either. My son is a normal, active little boy, and itโs hard for him to sit through a whole dinner, so we let him explore the restaurant a little. I noticed our waitress giving him the hairy eyeball, so we asked him to stop running. He was pretty good about it after that, but he did get underfoot when she was carrying a tray, and she spoke to him pretty sharply to go back to our table and sit down. I felt it was completely uncalled for, and she should have come and spoken to us personally instead of disciplining someone elseโs child.
I tipped 5 percent and spoke briefly to her manager, who gave noncommittal replies. My wife agrees with me, but when we posted about it on Facebook, we got a lot of judgy responses.
โItโs Hard for a 4-Year-Old to Sit Still
Dear Sit Still,
Yeah, this is your fault. Itโs hugely your fault. Of course itโs hard for a 4-year-old to sit still, which is why people usually stick to fast-dining establishments while working on restaurant manners. Itโs why one parent usually responds to a fidgety kid who wants to โexploreโ by taking him outside the restaurant, where he can get his wiggles out while not taking laps around servers precariously carrying trays of (often extremely hot) food and drink.
A kid โexploringโ a restaurant is not a thing. When you did intervene, it wasnโt to get him back in his seat. It was just to instruct him to โstop running.โ You werenโt parenting, so a server did it for you. She was right. You were wrong.
Your son is not ready to eat at a โmedium-niceโ restaurant again until he is capable of behaving a little better. You can practice at home. You can practice at McDonaldโs. You can try a real restaurant again with the understanding that one of you may need to take him out when he starts getting the urge to run an obstacle course.
I doubt that you will do this, but I encourage you to return the restaurant, apologize to the manager for complaining about your server, and leave her a proper tip.
Mend your wicked ways.

Transcript: a tiktok of a white person with brown hair speaking to the camera. They are in what looks to be a basement and are walking around while they speak.
โMy grandfather immigrated to America with his wife and four kids looking for a better future. And nobody has ever told us to go back to our country, or adapt to the culture, or start speaking like everybody else. My mom had two kids here and nobody has ever accused her of using us to stay in the States, get citizenship, accused us of stealing resources, or taking jobs. Which all of us have! In fact, when I tell people Iโm a first generation American, they think itโs really cool. My uncle was deported for running a drug ring! Yet none of us have gotten any shit about it. Weโve never been called criminals. Or dangerous. In fact, the only thing people say when they notice my momโs accent is โoh thatโs so cool, where are you from?โโ
A picture of the speakerโs mother, a white woman with long blonde hair, is shown in the background.
The speaker puts on a British accent, and says, โAnd thatโs because she looks like that, and she sounds like this. Youโve got nothing against immigrants. Youโre just racist.โ
