I think that is so much of what we see is that we are distracted by like fighting one another or it's like what women are just getting consumed with that like you're not seeing the bigger picture like what's really out there and what we should be focusing on.

I sometimes see a difference of like social media versus like the news of like there are two like amazing conversations or there's like an amazing conversation always happening on social media.

But it's it's too like minute compared to the news that it's you get consumed by like the skinny, the how your body should be, that you don't have enough energy left at the end of the day to address that, to put your own like time and getting involved in your community in a certain way.

Right.

Keep educating yourself in other ways.

I, in high school, I was on Tumblr too much and I was, I started to learn about like first the military diet and then like there's all like these graphs of like, okay, this day you start with this many calories and then you go down, down, down.

I was never for like a long time.

I actually, I remember, I think it was maybe Meghan Trainor who once got a lot of negative comments because she said that she didn't have enough willpower or something like that to have a eating disorder, which is not the right way to say it, because people are like, it's not about willpower, it is a mental disease.

And I hear that, but like, I felt like I failed myself, that I was like, I wasn't strong enough.

to do it.

It was that it was like a different kind of like sickness for me of like, I can't, why couldn't I not eat that?

Like, I felt like I was a failure and that I would just wasn't strong.

I'm lucky that that was my, like, that's how I handled it of that.

I didn't have to go through it for a long time because I just stopped, but it was still like, it was a lot on the, like the mental of just feeling like, oh,

And it doesn't need to be like 100 grams of protein.

Don't put that on people's bed.

There's never gonna be progress without disruption.

I get so frustrated at people, like if there's just a protest in the street and they're like, I was 10 minutes late to work and I was like, okay.

And without that, without you making noise that you're annoyed, there's never gonna be any progress.

And if we never do anything, if there's no actionable things for us to do, you're not gonna be able to make the progress you want.
