Women, train together in all kinds of conditions so you are prepared to protect yourself and others in less-than-ideal circumstances. Perhaps a trusted Man in your life is willing to let you practice your moves on him.

Great idea!
Guys, be good partners and let the Ladies practice throw you!
Man, when I was like 16 I got so sick of being made fun of for being the fat kid that I took an axe down inna woods, chopped down a tree, and started doing log-lifts all the time. I got strong as fuck, but I didn’t lose no weight. I actually got bigger.
Same thing happened when I got into fighting. I got even stronger, and I got *fast*, man, and nimble, like a cat. Still chubby.
Body-building culture is a bunch of crap, my dude. Functional muscle is not necessarily toned or lean. You can be swole as hell and still be heavy. And that’s cool.
Embrace your inner barbarian. And when fatphobic little gym twinks try to body shame you, you should DESTROY THEM with your MIGHTY AXE
Can comfirm, i am Quite Fat ™ but i still hit my punching bag hard enough last week make it touch the ceiling and broke a finger in the process
You know, I train with (martial arts) a bunch of dudes, and a few bodybuilders have showed up over the years.
And every damn one of those huge shredded motherfuckers has the endurance of a fucking newborn puppy. Fifteen minutes into warmups and they’re panting for air like like they’re about to die. I’ve sparred them and every one of them telegraphs their moves about two weeks in advance, and are slower than my dead grandpa because their huge useless muscles get in the damn way.
Now. I also work with a couple of guys who are not weightlifters. They do, however, do very physical jobs and are Big Dudes. Picture this sort of build.
No abs to speak of, a bit of a tummy, and those motherfuckers can pick up one of the weightlifters and throw them.
And they’re fast. Like, unfair fast.
Bodybuilding culture is bullshit. Embrace your status as a giant barbarian and if anyone gives you crap throw them off a mountain.
Like PrAna, Rebecca’s Herbal Apothecary (1227 Spruce St.) has long made efforts to reduce its trash output. It reuses biodegradable packing peanuts sent in shipments; the ones that aren’t, it sends to UPS to be re-used. Paper is used whenever possible, as is compostable plastic.
But the city’s Zero Waste Ordinance urged them on to bigger and better programs. A courier was contracted to bring materials to CHaRM. General manager Amber Graziano spent hours researching vendors who could replace plastic packaging with biodegradable materials, even for the smallest of items.
The extra effort has been worth it, Graziano said. “It fits with our mission of reclaiming our health, personally and collectively.”
Creative thinking has happened within the city itself, too. The public works department, with the help of a contractor, started recycling road materials ripped out during construction projects, such as water main replacements. The mountain of material — about 50,000 tons so far — is processed on-site, where it is stored and then re-used to rebuild the road.
It saves money two times over: the city had to pay once to dump the road waste at the landfill, and then again to buy fresh backfill. The new process saved Boulder $1.5 million in 2017 alone, said Utilities Superintendent Josh Meck.
“It’s things like that,” said Bullen, “that are not only great but innovative and save the city money. And will help us get to our ambitious 85 percent diversion by 2025.”
sweden deporting an openly gay football player to uganda after years of persecution from ugandan press and authorities and who will absolutely be murdered on the spot just like his ex… bc his story was “too vague and not believable”
there’s a price on his head. he’s openly gay. his boyfriend comes to all his matches and practices. his ex boyfriend is DEAD bc they got outed.
fuck migrationsverket. support Partick Mulyanti.
tw: homophobia, suicide
please take a moment to sign the petition letting Patrick Mulyanti stay or keep him in your thoughts. He’s considering taking his own life if he gets sent back to Uganda.
Something similar happened in Austria. I think the guy was from Afghanistan (?) and he’s getting deported because “he doesn’t look gay and therefore has nothing to fear in Afghanistan”
This isn’t even ignorance anymore
In austria they didn’t believe he was gay….cause he didn’t look or act feminine and talked ,,normal"
This is fucking outrageous. Those ppl have no idea what it means to be hunted down….maybe someone should teach them
