Viral twitter thread proves people aged faster in the past (x)

[vannajamma]

everyone check out this twitter thread bc it’s fucking mind blowing

[busty-shackleford]

YES I HAVE WONDERED WHY THIS IS

[squeeful]

It’s partly because people are only showing the photographs that “prove” the idea.  I have a picture of my mom from when she was 11.  She looks like 6 in it.

But using JLo as a comparison is lols.  JLo has access to – and uses – the most up to date anti-aging technology from botox to creams to cryotreatment to lasers to the photograph they’re using of her is retouched.  She is artificially young-looking.  I’ve seen the unretouched photos of her.  She looks every year of 50.

A lot of it is aesthetics.  Post-1960s youth culture is the dominant driver and the dominant aesthetic.  The 15 year old doesn’t look old; she looks like a 15 year old in a fashion we associate with older people.

The other big thing other than we arrest aging in general is pollution.  Our air quality is so so much better than it was mid-20th century – or late 19th century – it’s not even a comparison.  London’s smog used to be so bad visibility was 20 feet, people used to walk into the wrong front door, and acid rain ate everything.  You can still see the effects of acid rain in what trees and plants were used in landscaping that are still around today.  We don’t used leaded gasoline, we have filters on our cars, our coal plants are not right in our cities, we have regulation on pollution.

And poverty and smoking.

But also better makeup textures on celebrity faces that use anti-aging tech you haven’t even heard of.

[yogicamnesiac]

Sunscreen is also way more popular and better researched now.

Plus fashion used to be “look like an adult” and now it’s “look like you’re barely 20.”

But also, like Squee said, Botox, Photoshop, makeup.

Anyway, that photo of The Rock? Hilarious.

you know what scares me? what will you do once george floyd's name fades out of the news cycle? will you go back to your "normal" life or whatever normalcy you've created during this pandemic and forget? will you stop listening, learning, speaking up? will you forget about this and disappear only to come back again until another black person succumbs to state sponsored violence? you probably will. so please don't stop learning. please don't stop listening to and amplifying the voices of black people. please don't stop speaking up. dig deep and find the courage to keep this up. insist that you and everyone you know fight for a future where black people can live without fearing for their lives. a future where white supremacy is fundamentally annihilated.

I’ve barely seen anything on tumblr about the blackout in Washington DC

There’s been radio silence from the city since 1am local time, tweets about it are being deleting and suppressed

[edit to add: there’s now reports coming out that the blackout was fake, I can’t confirm either way, be vigilant]

[jescache]

they’re being hacked

[transingthebourgeoisie]

Not only are people being hacked, the message is literally copy/pasted for every account. It’s so incredibly transparent.

[meeshurs]

this is an elaborate disinformation campaign

the #dcblackout hashtag was spread by bots and then a bunch of accounts were hacked and tweeted a bunch of copy-pasted tweets to cause even more suspicion

HOW TO DONATE TO BLM WHEN YOU HAVE NO MONEY

a black woman named zoe amira posted a video on youtube. this video is an hour long and filled with art and music from black creators. it has a ton of ads, and in result will rack up a ton of revenue. 100% of the ad revenue from the video will be dispersed between various blm organizations, including bail-out funds for protesters. it will be split between the following, dependent on necessity

brooklyn bail fund

minnesota freedom fund

atlanta action network

columbus freedom fund

louisville community bail fund

chicago bond

black visions collective

richmond community bail fund

the bail project inc

nw com bail fund

philadelphia bail fund

the korchhinski-parquet family gofundme

george floyd’s family gofundme

blacklivesmatter.com

reclaim the block

aclu

turn off your adblocker and put the video on repeat. do not skip ads. let it play on loop whether you’re listening or not. mute the tab if you need to focus elsewhere. but let. it. play.

youtube will donate to blm for you.

please, please reblog. for people who don’t have money to spare, this is incredibly important information to have.

[casismybestfriend]

@poguesgold Thank you for bringing attention to this. I checked the comments there and some Kpop fans who have experience with this say to not watch on repeat, and keep the volume at least 50% (but you can still mute the tab or plug headphones in)

I have no experience with this strategy, but as I’ve seen more than one comment there with the same advice I’d assume this is true about YouTube’s algorithm

It’s fun to chant “Bloody Mary” into your car’s side mirror three times and watch her jog and try to keep up.

maybe if we unplug America and plug it back in???

leave it unplugged

why do people say “don’t be a pussy” when talking about weakness more like “don’t be a man’s ego” because you know there isn’t nothing more fragile than that

[nothingnowherenoonearchive]

uh 

because “pussy” is the shortened form of the word “pusillanimous”, which means “timid, cowardly”

and not the slang word for the female genital region?

[follow-puppy-luv96-deactivated2]

literally no one else knows this. nobody. 

[definitelyshitty]

WHAT

[tyronesuplac]

Sensational.

[definitelyshitty]

Remarkable.

[geraltcirilla]

it’s a real word

[snarky-gourmet-deactivated20250]

you: pussy

me, an intellectual: pusillanimous
