Meet The Black And White Twins Everyone Can Tell Apart

Posted in: , ,

Some twins are so identical they are like peas in  a pod, others are fraternal twins who look different but you can tell they're siblings. These twin sisters, Lucy Aylmer with white skin and straight ginger hair, and Maria Aylmer, with her thick curly hair and darker skin, are at the extreme of that. Both born minutes apart in January 1997 by the same mother, the twin sisters 'couldn’t look more different if they tried'.

Thanks to a rare scientific quirk resulting from their mother and father's mixed-race pairing, they were both born with different coloured skin. Their mum Donna is half Jamaican while father Vince is white. But when they heard they were having twins, they could never have guessed that they would produce twins looking so different from each other.

Petition Against Facebook's 'Feeling Fat' Emoji Gets Over 16,700 Supporters

Posted in: , ,


Facebook's feeling fat emoji has been getting some significant backlash, with over 16,700 people signing an online petition which wants to have the emoticon eliminated from the site altogether. The petition is on change.org, and was set up by Catherine Weingarten, pictured above, along with the group Endangered Bodies. According to the page, the petitioners are demanding "that Facebook remove the “fat” emoji from its status options and stop encouraging negative body image among girls."

Facebook is the most popular social networking site in the world right now. With 890 million users each day, it has the power to influence how we talk to each other about our bodies. I dream that one day the platform will actively encourage body positivity and self-esteem among its users, but for now, all I ask is that it stop endorsing self-destructive thoughts through seemingly harmless emojis.
