I really can and will blame the 9-5 for everything. "We're in a loneliness epidemic" well, we have to spend a third of our day interacting with people in a professional way that makes forming real friendships difficult and then we're peopled out by the time we're done. "People are eating more and more unhealthily" people have to spend more than a third of their day doing work related tasks and they don't want to spend their tiny amount of free time making food. "People aren't involved in their local communities" after spending more than a third of their day doing work related things people are tired and also all those community events take place during normal working hours. "People need to get more hobbies" after spending more than a third of their day working, people are TIRED and don't want to do anything that takes yet more energy. "Literacy is dying" to maintain your critical thinking skills you need to read/watch things that make you think and after spending more than a third of your day doing work related stuff you are TIRED and don't want to expend even more brainnpower. "People need to get outside more" People. Are. TIRED. Because they have to spend all of their time working or preparing for work or recovering from work or doing all the chores they couldn't stay on top of because of work. I can blame fucking anything on having to work, it is truly the root of all fucking evil.

I feel like a lot of people still don’t know this even though Valerie Solanas has become kind of an icon but she shot Andy Warhol because he stole her play, which she considered her masterpiece, and the Warhol estate still owned the play until 2014. He also only paid her 25 bucks to appear in a movie. Not saying he deserved to get shot but her grievances against him were legitimate. He was an asshole who exploited other artists.

He deserved it

He deserved it

you know even if a homeless person or a starving person is in that position because of their own "bad decisions" i don't care. it doesn't matter. no supposed financial misstep is enough to condemn someone to homelessness or poverty.

the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now

And yet somehow this is my first time kicking it!

i need to get off tumblr i’m at the aquarium admiring the fish and my brain goes “posts that make you want to get in the water” what are you talking about. these are live fish in the room with you. what post.

everyone is so obsessed with what wearing what clothes means what about that person and it gets a little exhausting. I'm sorry, I know it's not unimportant. I know having a feeling of your externality matching your internality is a psychological good. I know this. And I know many people feel that aesthetics are important to signal to others when you're in a specific group, particularly a maligned one. I get all this. and yet. my god. it's like no one can talk about grown up things anymore. no one seems to be able to concede that you imbue the clothes with meaning, not the other way around.
