This. Its important for me to wear the same unwashed jeans all month.
Lesson of the day: Class is not genetic.
Lots of perfectly nice people have awful children. Having kids is like a box of chocolates, you never know if they'll end up being a douche.
This is a thing I've never understood. My job involves being very athletic so I hold myself to a very high standard of fitness, but I have no interest in judging how other people feel about their bodies. What's the point? I have my own body to take care of.
Um. I totally agree that we can't judge health by what people look like but I too have a degree in public health and don't know anyone who thinks the epidemic is overblown. Maybe the doomsday perspective on it in the media can be overdone but the high rates of obesity and associated health issues are a very real,…
I think talking about food is awesome. Serious changes in our approach to food and nutrition from a public policy standpoint could seriously help equalize health outcomes in this country across economic class.
Talking about movement is also great. Let's make our cities and towns more pedestrian and bicyclist friendly-…
I agree. I am 100% for body positivity and self-acceptance. I'm fat, and I'm trying to be less fat, but in the meantime I'm still going to try to love my body, because otherwise I'd be miserable every waking second of the day. But I think body positivity should exist in conjunction with, rather than replace,…
You're going to get flamed for this, mostly because of your wording, but I think it's an important point that people don't acknowledge because fat shaming is so dominant in our culture that the need to confront it overweighs the discussion of the ramifications of an obese nation.
RIP also Erin Gloria Ryan (writer for Jezebel) your tweets are disgusting stop trying to be edgy it is pathetic.
Katniss Everdeen is an archer. You don't have to be fitter than Jennifer Lawrence to be an archer. In fact, Katniss Everdeen is less fit than Jennifer Lawrence because Katniss Everdeen is constantly starving.
Jennifer Lawrence is fitter than Katniss Everdeen is. Also, since when does klutziness have anything to do with…
She's going to be uncomfortable all day!
As a long-time anxiety sufferer, I agree with a lot of those tips as helpful, but if you really want to get past it you need to look into your diet. Thankfully "real" doctors and therapists are starting to come around. There was a big story on NPR recently, and there's this in Psychology Today. I am not some hippie…
I, for one, am happy to see examples of strength that is earned by hardship. As someone who is frequently referred to as a "strong woman," I'm tired of people's inability to recognize that strength as a protective shell acquired from years of painful obstacles. Most strong women are strong because they've already been…
I was at a small luncheon once where I was the only non-scientist in a group that works for alternative energy. One of them, noticing that I was eating vegetarian, asked why, and as part of my answer I cited my statistic about livestock and greenhouse gases. Another one said "Yes, but it's possible to have…
Guys, I think we all won.
Did he DANCE though? I need him to be dancing. Preferably up on me but I'll takes what I can gets.
Perhaps also ... super?
So now I hate her and everyone attacking her.
My hypothesis that I hate everyone has yet to be disproven.
I don't know. I'm just as talented with photoshop as these guys, but I don't use my skills to fuck up people's self-confidence and perspective.
