fascinated/horrified by this set of tweets…
It is winter here and that means it is snowy and snow sticks to shoes. When it melts it becomes brownish grey water. If you track brownish grey water across my God damned carpet after I spent hundreds of dollars shampooing it to get the dog accidents out of it I will turn you into an Ed Gein flavored lampshade.
I’m team “I don’t care now that I live out in the suburbs but when I lived downtown I preferred, but did not insist upon, shoes off.”
The bisexual to aroace pipeline is pretty much having the right idea and coming to the wrong conclusion. Yeah buddy you're not straight and you're also not gay. No not like that though, the other way around
“I feel the same way about everyone”
Yeah you do. Because you don’t.
bisexuals and aroaces are chilling, smoking weed together, etc.
Yeah! Maybe they're even roommates. And like, the aroace is really outgoing, and the bisexual is kinda reserved and shy, and there's a cop and a baby bear... We should make a TV show about this!
I FOUND IT THANK GOD this video is so important
It's a fantastic point, but John Boyega's net worth also puts him at $6 million. When he says eat the rich, he isn't safe either...
There’s a pretty big fucking difference between six million and one trillion lmao
Not to mention the way the money was made
An actor being paid for a role / doing some advertising is a world away form a man setting up a cooperate money machine that horrendously exploits workers
This is something I hate SO MUCH about how tumblr talks about money.
Like, I get that famous actors have large amounts of money, some of them are even probably overpaid (I have complicated thoughts about how actors are paid because of the nature of acting as a career), but they are exchanging labor for money, and their salaries are an expense involved in making a movie.
But like... an actor is paid for a job. They’re a worker like the rest of us. Bezos isn’t paid for a job, he’s paid for being the person who owns Amazon and despite being obscenely wealthy, he does all sorts of shitty things and to underpay and exploit his workers, and avoid paying taxes, so that more of the money Amazon generates will be profit (worker’s salaries are not profit, they’re a business expense).
These two mechanisms of acquiring money are fundamentally very different.
The reason why billionaires are evil aren’t because having money is bad, its because to get a billion dollars you have to cheat. You have to take it from someone else. If Bezos paid all his workers and suppliers fairly and treated them well, and paid his fair amount of taxes, and etc, then it literally wouldn’t matter how much money he earned, because he wouldn’t be doing anyone any harm. But its not actually possible to amass a billion dollars (a full order of magnitude bigger than a million) while behaving in an ethical manner.
The last post is everything.
Also wanna say that John Boyega specifically does a lot of proper grassroots good work and actively puts himself in a position where he knows the racists will keep on coming for him, to actively and materially help marginalised communities.
The fact a black man is never able to say a single word without being criticised is not being missed btw.

same neighborhood
same city
same county
same US state/Canadian province/etc.
same country
same continent

"But why do you let your disability stop you?" Because that's.... what disabilities... do. That's... literally the basic definition... of being disabled... A disability impairs your ability to function. That's what the term means. That's the main thing
When I got my fibromyalgia diagnosis, the doctor told me that I’d only be disabled if I thought of myself as disabled.
Thanks, doc, I totally wasn’t trying to get a diagnosis to understand why I was having difficulty with things.
