Kids: It’s your fault for not performing grueling manual labor 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no worker protections, in the Mojave fuckin Desert, whilst contending with food scarcity, during the Great Depression.
I’m Gen X. It’s amazing when I go back and watch shows and movies from my childhood that had a token fat character in them, because that character looks like an average person today. Look at Chunk from the Goonies. He was considered fat enough to have a nickname like Chunk, but he looks like the majority of kids I see now.
“Turned on the news in November '89
I could not move, I could not speak
Something was burning up in my eyes
Something wet ran down my cheek
All those laughing faces, all those tears of joy
All those warm embraces of men and women, girls and boys
Sisters and brothers dancing, all singing freedom’s song
God, if only I could be there to shake your hands and sing along”
-John Kay, “The Wall”
Bro snuck across the Berlin Wall with his family when he was 5 years old and you got shot dead if they caught you trying to get across. He came to America, grew up and started a rock and roll band, and then as an adult got to watch the wall fall on television and wrote a song about it.
People who got born here don’t know what they have.
Go shovel concrete for hours/days/weeks on end and start your day with oatmeal and bacon, and end it with beef stew and a whiskey. Drink bucket water throughout.
He cerlainly is! But in this case the fact that you’re cis is not really relevant, it’s more the fact that you’re heterosexual, which is not the same :)
