Occasionally forget people genuinely think capitalism is thousands of years old

One time I was talking about Robin Hood with some coworkers and one guy was like “he was bad because the people he helped learned to expect handouts” and I wanted to be like… okay can you explain how that flawed capitalist propaganda applies to feudalism

reminder that capitalism was literally invented in the 16th century

That’s an exaggeration. What was invented in the 16th century was mercantilism. Capitalism really dates for the beginning of the nineteenth century, with the rise of industry and cash crops over artisans and merchants. Vulture capitalism, with the notion that companies have no duties other than generating profit, is even younger.

Capitalism is only 200 years old and I have to say, they have not been an impressive 200 years

I think a lot of this comes from the fact that most people don’t know the formal definition of capitalism. We all know the word, we’ve all seen the jokes, but very few people bother to actually define it unless they’re talking about political theory and philosophy, so it’s easy to end up with the impression that Capitalism = Money Can Be Exchanged For Goods And Services.

Capitalism is the economic system where most of the means of production (i.e. everything people need to have to make the stuff that everyone wants) are owned by private individuals or corporations, who then hire people to provide the labor necessary to produce things, with the intent of selling the output at a profit. It’s the difference between “you’re a carpenter and you make a chair and you sell it” and “you’re Richard Q. Richington who owns a chair factory, and you pay people to sell the chairs you paid other people to make and then all the excess money goes back to you.” There have been Richard Q. Richingtons on and off throughout history, but that being the norm for every single industry is a pretty recent development.

An alarming amount of people seem to think capitalism = all trade, and I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

The notes are broken. This is what tumblr is all about apparently.

THE NOTES ARE BROKEN!  This has been reblogged so many times, Tumblr just shrugged and said “infinity”

It shows up as 0 for me.

I’ve seen it around a few times but I love the idea that hobbits grow winter coats of lighter colors during the winter.

Like I can imagine as bilbos winter coat starts to grow in all the drawfs, who know hobbits have shorter lifespans, start freaking out cause they assume he’s growing white hair from age.

Thorin: “master hobbit, your hair”

Bilbo: confused “what about it?”

Thorin: “I knew you said you were grown, but i didn’t assume you were that far along…”

Bilbo: even more throughly confused “I’m not that old you oaf, this is just my annual coat growing in”

Thorin:

Anyone can help!

(Real pen the last picture)

It is important for EVERYONE to know how to help ANYONE. Not everyone can give them selves their medicine under every circumstance. Be educated, help out.

In the last year, i have gotten about five new violent allergies from foods i used to be able to eat. Next time i eat a fruit, my throat could close. I may not be able to inject myself. My boyfriend and i played with my trainer pen for like 30 minutes. He knows how to inject it. I know how. This is important.

As someone with food allergies I feel like everyone should know this. Especially for those who are physically or mentally unable to stab themself with a needle for whatever reason (such as myself who has an extreme phobia of needles), others around them need to know how to administer one in case of an emergency.

Another tip! If their thigh isn’t exposed don’t panic! The needle will go through fabric as long as you don’t try to push through a seam. Seams are too thick for the needle!!!

I’m pinning this post

I’m mortified that this post made me realize I had no clue how epipens work.

Spreading this.

Highlighting the bit about holding it in place for at least three seconds (I usually practice five seconds, just to be safe), AND THE PART ABOUT CALLING AN AMBULANCE.

The epipen does not CURE the allergic reaction, it just hits pause. It gives the patient an extra window of time for the ambulance to get there. It’s not an indefinite pause - it’s just a temporary one. 15 minutes, if I recall correctly. So GET AN AMBULANCE THERE ASAP.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is extremely important to know and it only takes 30 seconds to learn but those 30 seconds reading saves lives

nobody’s dying on my watch

the joy of realizing someone is a similar type of freak as you

Shopping in Finland with Google Translate be like...

Here are some little pride dragons for an event I'm going to! I want to make some more when I have the time (sorry if your flag isn't included) also happy pride
