Equidistant

sometimes i just want to laugh at how absurd everything is. like, jeff bezos has enough money to literally end the war in yemen. he could literally end it. nearly any celebrity in the world has the money to fix the flint water crisis. like there is a handful of rich people who, if they just put their money where their fucking mouths were, could solve so many problems. but they dont!!! they just buy another house, or a car, or a company where they don’t pay their workers fair wages so they can get richer. it’s just!!!!!!! sometimes i want to laugh bc it’s so absurd and this is why we say eat the rich. 

getting tired of how this post keeps getting taken out of context tbh. firstly if i thought this would get 60k notes i would have phrased it a Lot better bc no i dont think money will magically just make a war or crisis end. specifically made this post back when the UN was asking for $5 million for more humanitarian aid in Yemen, which is like dollars for jeff bezos. and specifically meant “end the war” more in the sense of using money to help end the underlying conditions which have created the war. all conflicts stem from something, and frequently revolve around people not having access to basic resources they need… leading to the reliance on war lords and essentially selling yourself as a hired gun. that is what i meant. and i also understand that a lot of the issues in flint are now more of incorrectly using money that has been given. that was a bad example. and again would have Completely phrased this post differently had i anticipated these notes. this was literally a 10 second though process kinda post. so yeah. some of the comments are just… yikes?? and again just wanna emphasize what the intention here was. not just a blanket statement of “money saves the world” it was more of a “jeff bezos and the billionaires in this world could put their hoards of wealth to use in helping people and making this world a better place and yet most of them don’t do that”.

I don’t understand why people use “I didn’t put any thought into this post” as a defense of them landing on a nonsense take. “It’s really hashtag yikes of you guys to evaluate the accuracy of the words I said because you should be able to psychic mind meld to me and realize I actually never had any intent of being accurate.”

“To say there is no worth in learning a language that isn’t economically useful is like saying there’s no point in being friends with somebody unless they’re going to help you get a better job. It’s a spectacular, cynical miss of the point. It’s also inaccurate.”

as a welsh person, yes

Something feels icky about millennials, with no background in psychology, writing up twitter thread think pieces on what “millennials” are experiencing psychologically in a way that’s basically saying we’re super special and we’ve never done anything wrong ever

twitter woke activists feel like they understand the world because they bought a studded belt

It’s not just the ladies who get insecure, it’s all of us.  It’s a human trait, yo.

“Every bite’s going to taste like Victoria’s Secret” fucking KILLED me.

let’s just check off these adjectives so I can try to sound woke while reinforcing the ultimate point of the original post

It’s sooooooooo true though. Remember when Britney Spears and Amanda Bynes had multiple mental health crises in full public view and everyone respected their needs and rallied to help them?

i don’t think anyone has it easy when it comes to mental health care but women absolutely have it easier than men lmao

I keep going back to watch this video it just captures my sense of humour perfectly

It’s such libfem BS that we all have to like whatever each other does or else we’re impeding their freedom. Your freedom does not depend on me liking what you do. You’re not entitled to my approval of literally everything you do. I’m not in any position to materially harm others based on how I feel about their choices, and I wouldn’t if I could, and haven’t. There’s no punishment when I disapprove of how you live. we all need to be able to live without everyone we know cheerleading every single thing we do. You are gonna live your life and I’m not going to try and stop that!!! But you can’t make me like it!!
