What Recreators Can Do

It costs approximately $30,000 to incarcerate a juvenile offender for one year. If that money were available to Parks and Recreation, we could do the following:

Take him swimming twice a week for 24 weeks,

And give him four tours of the zoo, plus lunch,

And enroll him in 50 community center programs,

And visit the nature center twice,

And let him play league softball for a season,

And tour the gardens at the park twice,

And give him two weeks of tennis lessons,

And enroll him in two weeks of day camp,

And let him play three rounds of golf,

And act in one play,

And participate in one fishing clinic,

And take a four-week pottery class,

And play basketball eight hours a weeks for 40 weeks,

After which we could return to you: $29,125 and one much happier kid.

From the zine “Fat Is Beautiful” by Crystal Hartman

[bigolbadblog]

Text transcript:

Assumption: Fat people are out of control. New version: Actually, I think we've been very restrained so far. If we were out of control, every time someone made some nasty comment about weight, we'd just sit on them until they apologized. If we got really good and out of control, we'd boycott the diet industry and show them who's boss. We'd run amok with chain saws, whacking out the armrests in movie theaters and commercial airliners. We'd stage sit-ins at New York fashion shows, in state legislatures, on beaches. Truly out-of-control fat people would refuse to apologize for their size. We'd act like we are all that and a bag of chips - and rightfully so. Fat people out of control? I can't wait!

[Post by smbc comics. Two people are having a conversation.

Person one: Did you know that much of household dust is dead human skin cells?

Person two: Ok.

Person one: And did you know it's estimated that billions of spiders live near humans?

Person two: Ok?

Person one: And so spiders likely ingest a teeny bit of human. Let's say it's 0.001 grams per day, in which case-

Person two: Oh. my. GOD.

Text below the comic says: Household spiders consume approximately one human every three months.

In response, someone has posted a meme showing a scientist examining a test tube full of green liquid.

[Image description: a blue and white poster taped to a metal pole. The poster reads as follows, formatted for clarity:

"Can't afford food? Blame billionaires, not immigrants. In 2023, grocery stores doubled their profits. It's not because of inflation! Inflation went up only 7%, but prices went up nearly 11.5%. It would take 340 years for a grocery worker to earn what Galen Weston, CEO of Loblaws and NoFrills, profits in a year. Don't let them distract you with racism". End of image description]

For those who needed to hear it today

[Post on subreddit r/offmychest. The user has deleted their account. Text:

You’re not ugly. You just look like you.

I photograph a lot of people. Almost everyone believes they are ugly. Your grandmother. Your child. Your best friend. Most models. Most actors. Maybe even you.

“Oh, don’t take my photo, I’ll break your camera!” laughs the 80-year-old grandfather. When he dies a few months later, his grandkids will treasure this reminder of his “ugly mug.”

“Please delete this,” says a dear old friend. She looks beautiful. She looks like herself. She’s been captured in a moment in which she is utterly comfortable in her skin. And she hates it.

“Oh God,” I said, because I had to get a professional headshot for work. “I have a face like a slapped ham,” I told the makeup artist I hired because I’m so hideous that I can’t bear to have photos of me around. The selfie I took of “the best it’s ever going to get” is my husband’s iPhone background.]

[Photo of Imane Khelif following her match with Yang Liu at the 2024 Summer Olympics. She is on the shoulders of coach Mohamad Chaoua, while coach Mohamad Al-Shawa stands behind them. All three are smiling and have their arms up in the air, celebrating her victory]

[Tweet by Lella Yasmine • لِلآ يَاسمِين (orange emoji) @YasmineJibril

Imane Khelif speaks after her victory:

"I was born a girl, I grew up a girl, I studied as a girl and I fought like a girl. Those who attacked me? Of course, they were enemies of glory. But, without them, my victory would not have been so satisfying."]

It used to be you went online to search "fleece lined work pants 30x30" and returned a handful of results that met your criteria. Thanks to technological improvements, that is no longer possible]

Elon’s being weird again. Threatening everyone on twitter for calling his weird friends weird.

[image-descriptions]

[Tweet by Elon Musk @elonmusk

"Weird" is being used as a slur against Trump supporters, and it will not be tolerated on this platform. Trump supporters should not have to face ridicule for their beliefs.

Any harassment of Trump supporters using the term "Weird" will be punished.]

An important tweet

[sighinastorm]

This is such a "common sense" way of putting it. Everybody memorize this for spitting it back out whenever needed.

You don't have to be that gung-ho on trans rights to realize that a world where girls' genitals need to be inspected before they can play any sport is worse for girls than a world where once in a while there's a trans girl on a girls' team]
