I’m An Adult… Shit.

Things that I knew about: that the mass incarceration of people in the USA , particularly black men, has direct ties to/is an extension of slavery. Things I did not know: this specific shit about Louisiana HOLY FUCK this is evil.

Grew up next to Angola. It’s much worse than you think

I wonder how many people are imprisoned for weed

I’m from Mississippi and it’s like this in my home town. Enslaved prisoners clean roadways, pick cotton, everything they’ve done since before slavery was supposedly ended. What they teach in schools is nothing but propaganda.

i know this is sort of a Goomba Fallacy situation but it's very funny when people here fail to clock obviously fake stories while accusing people of making up completely mundane shit. like "omg my coffee order was so good that the barista actually took her top off and kissed me on the lips" -> "OMG I WISH I WAS YOU" vs. "i made myself some cereal this morning" -> "this is true i was the spoon" "yeah and all the bowls in the cabinet clapped"

i fucking hated your shoelaces this entire time

"Boycotts never achieve anything" factoid is actually a statistical error. Historically, boycotts have been an enormously successful pressure mechanism for collective action. Boycotts georg, a social media user who launches a million poorly strategized boycotts every day with no thought given to target selection or actionable demands, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

That is unironically what a lot of discourse on this hellsite looks like

all yall make jokes about couples and their nonromantic third wheel having fun together, but im the one getting treated to food tonight by the couple im nonromantically third wheeling. you wish you were me

takes a real artist to go "i have to deface this billboard promoting an evil corporation's evil product. but crucially☝️the typeface and kerning must match or else it's cringe"

If you make it look official, people will leave it up. I knew someone who replaced all the motivational posters at work with 'demotivation' versions and corp didnt notice for like 2 years.

I think Spock could hang out with Squidward because they're the same type of cultured faggot but Squidward would get petty and mean about something and Spock would be like honestly mr tentacles I find this type of outburst very distasteful. & he would fix him

do they live in capitalist bikini bottom or socialist space future because the answer really affects whether spock fixes squiddy or systemic injustices change who spock is as a person.

I was imagining the enterprise comes to bikini bottom planet of the week style but I'm obsessed with the idea of spock working at the krusty krab & how that would affect him psychologically

I wanted to say "fuck them kids" for the meme but I think you make a good point. But it seems inherently immoral to me that anyone should be able to control the rights to someone else's work after they can't benefit from it in any way

On one hand, yes. On the other hand, I can understand wanting to protect a spouse or parent's legacy. I think it's a little complicated at that point.

Also, appealing to Tumblr’s worst nature, imagine how many Disney movies Disney will make about your favourite books immediately subsuming the memory of the original and cementing the Disneyified story as the “real” version if it’s only the life of the author. They’ll start premiering them either at the author’s funeral or on the first anniversary. And Disney is a corporation that will never die. Consider.
