let the bodies hit the floor is such a scary song. usually bodies hitting the floor isn’t a good thing but this guy wants it to happen anyway.

and yet he insists there’s nothing wrong with him. haunting

Referring to someone as your “partner” sounds as if you are deliberately obscuring their gender and may subtly out you. “My ex”, however, is entirely unobtrusively gender-neutral. #breakupallrelationships

trans people would kill themselves less often if people were nicer to us btw. i could put it in more scientific terms but that’s what it boils down to. just be nice to each other

instead of “this person made good art so they can’t be a bad person” try looking at it like this: “this person made art so they can’t be a good person”

friendly reminder that [the most cherrypicked interpretation of the text possible] <3

Most people won't recognize these, but this was the original zero-g simulation rig used for the mercury astronauts. When people think of zero-g training these days they usually think of those omnidirectional training seats, or perhaps the "vomit comet" (big plane that simulates zero g by flying up and down in big oscillations) but before all that fancy tech, they had to make do with a carefully tuned set of springs that had to be calibrated separately for every astronaut. They would use the air lines to test decision making and cognative function in simulated zero-g by altering the percentage of oxygen in the air mix, causing brain fog, fatigue, confusion, and sometimes even blackouts to make sure astronauts could recover quickly. By the time of the Apollo program, these rigs had been phased out in favor of much better generalized training systems that used the experiences of the mercury astronauts to create far more realistic simulations of working and flying in low gravity environments, and sadly none of the original suits survived to this day, so these photos are all we have of them.

it fucking sucks being a disabled person who can't work and having to see these fuckass posts where someone's like "ahaha jobless people have no life and that's why everyone shitty online has No Job" and everyone and their mother reblogs it joyfully onto my dash for me to see. yes unemployed and unemployable people are truly without exception dogshit people with no hobbies and no redeeming qualities. you're so right. anyway if you'll excuse me i have to start my shift at the I'll Never Be Employed Because Of Permanent Disability And I Love Knowing How You Really See Me store

if ur able to work can u reblog this i am seriously SO sick of it.

btw this isn't solely a disability rights issue or an issue about people who are entirely unable to work. you should also be thinking about the people who are regarded as unhireable. transfems are hugely discriminated against in this way, people of color are passed over for less qualified white people, anyone who has any difficulty playing the interview game is less hireable... frankly anyone who made the mistake of pursuing the things they love and now has a degree for a niche field. if you still joke about Jobless People it's because you've fundamentally connected the worth of people to their labor, and specific labor, work that you see as valuable. and while i'm at it stop making fun of people who still live with their parents. asshole.

Male privilege still exists among brown, gay, trans, and disabled men. Every man. Likewise, if you're white, you will always benefit from whiteness no matter who you are.

Occasionally forget people genuinely think capitalism is thousands of years old

One time I was talking about Robin Hood with some coworkers and one guy was like “he was bad because the people he helped learned to expect handouts” and I wanted to be like… okay can you explain how that flawed capitalist propaganda applies to feudalism

reminder that capitalism was literally invented in the 16th century

That’s an exaggeration. What was invented in the 16th century was mercantilism. Capitalism really dates for the beginning of the nineteenth century, with the rise of industry and cash crops over artisans and merchants. Vulture capitalism, with the notion that companies have no duties other than generating profit, is even younger.

Capitalism is only 200 years old and I have to say, they have not been an impressive 200 years

An alarming amount of people seem to think capitalism = all trade, and I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

stop soft resetting the universe, I've experienced the same day, albeit a bit different, ten times now

Why so mean to Homura? Sad sad Homura....
