Friendly reminder that walking is a legitimate workout. The only reason it gets downplayed is because big fitness hasn't found a way to package, brand, and sell you outdoor air yet.
If a white person born in Australia can be Australian without Aboriginal ancestry, and a white person born in America can be American without Native American ancestry, why can't a Black person born in England be English without Anglo-Saxon ancestry?
In the early 00’s I was working in a children’s home in a major UK city.
One of our residents was a sparky 15 yr old girl, her best friend was a 12 yr old girl from another children’s home.
Together they hatched a money making plan: Town. Friday. Entice men down an alleyway with the promise of sex with the 12 yr old, then take cash off them and run away.
It’s a very flawed plan.
Here’s my point:
Of all the issues they faced, the one problem they never had was finding men who would want to fuck a 12 yr old.
Of course grooming gangs are an issue. I’ve worked with grooming gang survivors and, trust me, yes it’s still going on. But the far bigger issue, that we aren’t prepared to face, is quite how many men (of all nationalities) actually want to fuck children.
This is a real surprise, the very widely shared image yesterday of the three sisters who drowned off Brighton beach was an AI-generated one.
The image, which was widely published by national news outlets including the BBC, was created by relatives.

I enjoy seeing people’s reactions to being delighted in just for existing & seeing them relax
