7 day challenge: phase 1: do not complain to anyone about being too fat. Not once. This includes statements like "I still have a few more to lose". You aren't supposed to do anything except observe what changes both internally and externally.

@chromantichope This is awesome.

[Chris Serong @ChrisSerong]

All of this, absolutely.

Reminder that ‘white’ isn’t a culture. It’s a coalition of power aligned around a shifting definition of whiteness.

It absorbs and claims technology while usually erasing the much more complex origins of it as part of its claim to superiority.

"artisanal" always just looks like art is anal to me and as an artist I'm just like yeah cool

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

Here’s a quietly wonderful thing I noticed:

If you talk to someone who was in choir or band at a majority Black HS, you’ll eventually discuss those annoying fundraisers for uniforms, instruments, etc. & a SURPRISING number will casually say:

“Oh, Dolly Parton paid for ours”

This fuckin' culture man, if men are playing sport badly we're cutting them slack maybe he's having a bad day, maybe he's injured but if a woman is playing badly nope it's because she's a woman. We're such dicks

[David Lo Pun-ch Nazis @helpmeskeletor]

Constantly saying ‘how could this have happened’ about fascism as a way to do nothing about fascism in fact answers the question of how could this have happened.

[Chris Serong @ChrisSerong]

- so we had an official day of mourning in Australia today
- finally! For the 800,00+ First Nations Peoples who were murdered by colonisation yeah?
- no, for the figurehead of the empire that did the colonising

@MerrilynSerong Perfect!

[Chris Serong @ChrisSerong]

People often look at advanced training programs and advanced athletes and think, I need to do that, I should train what they're doing, it's obviously "the best" that'll be good for me.

But,

[Chris Serong @ChrisSerong]

So of course the point is that there is no "the best". "The best" is always unique to you.

[Chris Serong @ChrisSerong]

Getting to the point where I'm capable of ten proper work sets? That's what makes me stronger. And then, once you're there, you're looking for other ways to progress and challenge yourself.

[Chris Serong @ChrisSerong]

It's just kinda delightful really

[Arlen Parsa @arlenparsa]

People live their whole lives in suburbs afraid of violent cities but they’ll never have an encounter with a stranger like this in Glendale or whatever

[Chris Serong @ChrisSerong]

Always odd when dudes are into talking dirty (I want you to bang me like this) but not enthusiastic consent (I want you to bang me like this)

[Chris Serong @ChrisSerong]

@bridgetneval Honestly haven't we all been there when learning about clocks!

[Chris Serong @ChrisSerong]

@chromantichope It's important to have hobbies... like harbouring resentment towards people who you once wished would have a better life than yourself.

[Chris Serong @ChrisSerong]

Anyone find it weird how we create elaborate fantasy worlds for kids, lie to them about what's real, then chew out teenagers for being sheltered and naive? Hmm.
