Ok here is my issue. There’s this great article circulating the internet about a letter a “fat chick” woman wrote to the asshole CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch. And it’s great that she called him out for being an asshole and saying that he doesn’t want like fat people in his store. that’s fuckin awful.
BUT
part of this article prefaces with saying, in bold, that “two out of every three adults is considered overweight” in America.
That’s really not okay. And you shouldn’t use that as part of your argument.
Everyone has issues with health and their bodies. Everybody. But we’ve started this culture, on the internet and in the media in recent years, that tells you that it’s ok to be fat. And ya know, it is. To a point.
Unfortunately, in this country, we have taken the idea of being overweight to a whole new level. And it is seriously not okay. And the only thing we’re doing about it is pushing everyone to buy organic(!!!) food that is crazy expensive, and then starting initiatives every few years to get kids to go outside and play some more.
No one is saying to these adults, “Hey. You’re not healthy. Knock it off.”
And I think someone should.
Ok. There ya go. Yell if you wish.

Anonymous asked: they arent 20 years apart in the show they are only five....only the actors have the age difference... the characters are only 5 years apart.
I know. I was referring to the actors. Hence the catherine zeta jones reference. So pairing maisie williams who is 16 and looks 12 with joe dempsie who is 25 is awkward. But thanks anon.
