So, you wanna wear your cool pants with your cool shoes.
Your pants have a super cool print and you wanna wear em with some bitchin boots, but the problem is, even though they fit fine, they do this with the boots:
So you’re like, okay, cool, I’ll just cuff them, but then you realize you can’t because they look like this on the inside:
So now you’re like aw man what do I do?? I want the cuff to match the pants but they won’t :(
Step 1! Fold the hem up about to here, make sure the fold is crisp and clean all the way around:
Step 2! Fold the white part up again so it’s the same width as the original hem, keeping it crispy:
Step 3! Fold that original hem down and over, and you guessed it, crispy again:
You have now created a cuff that matches the rest of your pants! Now go, wear your stompy boots with funky pants and be gay

And while the future is fast coming for you, it always flinches first, and settles in as the gentle present. This now, this us, we can cope with that. We can do this together you and I.”

This year I signed up for 10 marathons and a 50-miler, and I intend on running in my first 100-miler. Still, despite earning over 100 finisher medals and completing close to 200 running, cycling and obstacle course racing events over a span of five years, the internet police continue to remind me to lose some weight. I’m an unapologetic 5’3, 242-pound road and trail ultra runner from Brooklyn sponsored by HOKA ONE ONE running shoe company, and I am continuously fat-shamed.
On Jan. 3, I posted a video on my Instagram account of my fitness regimen. A day later, this same post resurfaced as a suggestion on my Instagram “Explore” page as a repost by a person followed by more than 50,000 people. Despite not tagging me in the comments, the poster expressed “concern” that while my “advanced workouts” are admirable, she “feared for the shock” that it would place on my fat body.
Perhaps this person thought I would and should feel comforted by the condolences that she (and her sizable following) offered about my “weight loss journey,” but I didn’t. Even worse, when I tried to have a private conversation with this person, she immediately blocked me.
Frankly, I’m not sure which part of the post was the most humorous to me: the part where several Google and WebMD doctors who knew nothing about my five-year fitness journey sounded off on what they must have assumed to be my unhinged eating habits or the countless people who suggested that a woman shouldn’t lift weights and should stick to cardiovascular activities.
Over the years, I’ve encountered so many people who are absolutely mind-boggled when they learn I work out or participate in a multitude of events for reasons besides weight loss. And the disapproving commentary doesn’t just happen online ― I’ve experienced it offline, too. It’s only been a bit over a year since I was fat-shamed at the 2017 New York City Marathon. But the abuse began long before that.
A teen’s Reddit post
went viral when he asked the public how he could get vaccinated. “My
parents are kind of stupid and don’t believe in vaccines. Now that I’m
18, where do I go to get vaccinated? Can I get vaccinated at my age?”
The Ohio high school student, Ethan Lindenberger, says he had just
gotten his driver’s license and a car, and had some money, and was ready
to do defy his parents. “It’s stupid and I’ve had countless arguments
over the topic. But, because of their beliefs I’ve never been vaccinated
for anything, god knows how I’m still alive.”
A month after his post, he started getting shots, including “hepatitis A, hepatitis B, influenza and HPV,” according to The Huffington Post. His mother reacted by telling undark.org that his actions were like a “slap in the face…It was like him spitting on me.”
Lindenberger has six siblings, and only his oldest sister and brother
were vaccinated. After that, his parents thought that “vaccines are
some kind of government scheme,” according to Ethan, who spoke out on Good Morning America today.
Seven states now allow minors to petition so that they can make their
own decision when it comes to vaccinations. But in the states where
kids don’t have a choice, some teens are coming to Ethan for advice. “I
definitely have received messages and I’ve had people contact me that
are in a similar situation where they want to pursue vaccinations and
their parent or authority figure doesn’t believe it’s right,” he told Good Morning America.
