Inconsistent babbling commencing

Capitalists are like "you have so many choices in America! You can choose to kill yourself working or you can choose to starve to death!"

Don't forget the classic "if you work really hard, you can work other people to death!"

Sometimes high tech is worse

I like how this short, like most Looney Tunes parodies, has completely outlasted what it was spoofing in terms of cultural significance. Like, everyone and their dog has seen this cartoon, but who gives a shit about Buck Rogers anymore?

the best kind of parodies are the ones you can still enjoy even if you don’t know the source

LMAO. Wait.

Anyone else’s eye twitchin?

Food gentrification is a long standing practice and it’s some of the most evil shit I can think of. It’s why I refuse for example as someone living in the US to buy things with Quinoa in them. It is specifically pricing an indigenous population out of their prime staple food. It’s a horrific invasion of one of the final requirements of staying alive.

This is #goals not just for me but also for the way me and my friends greet each other.

The Himbos are fighting.

They’re just making friends

stay away from people who make you feel like you are a burden.

stay away from people who make you question your self-esteem. 

stay away from people who make you feel like you are hard to love. 

stay away from people who make you feel like you’re not good enough.

I’m gonna cry

being poor is traumatic. even if you’re not homeless or starving. never being able to get anything nice for yourself, never being able to go out to eat without feeling guilty, never being able to do anything fun that isn’t free, making you housebound in bad weather because you can’t afford to go to a cafe or a movie. it takes a toll. being poor under capitalism makes your life a waking nightmare. this post must be reblogged by everyone.

Addendum: If perchance you do scrape up the money to do something (say buy a computer or phone because you absolutely need the damn thing for work), you get shamed for doing so. “Why did you buy that expensive phone if you are poor?” I spent 20 dollars on it …. “What about that nice computer you got there?” I bought it six years ago, refurbished for about $250. “How about that big ole television you got there?” etc, etc, etc. No matter how poor you are, so many people think you should have less if you are “actually” poor.

There’s no two ways about it: poverty is violence.

Yall better not be pretending that Janelle Monae doesn’t fucking exist

The Good Place’s take on morality is so important to me. It never suggests that being good is easy or straightforward - quite the opposite - but it says, over and over again, that we need to try because we’re all people and we all matter.
