Achievements of people born into excessive wealth mean nothing I’m sorry

it’s so interesting so many people keep repeating this same line of “it’s not like they could control where they were born”. and yet. absurdly rich folks do not take that into consideration when poor people need something they don’t immediately have. it’s always “well work for it! work for your food/water/shelter/health” there’s never any consideration to what life that poor person was born into even though they never had any control over it either. interesting how wealthy people feel comfortable playing that card. 

It isn’t a home run if you were born on third base…

When you see a really good post but there’s some form of guilt tripping to reblog it added on at the end

Me: overall agrees with and is interested in post

Post: “But I bet you’re just gonna skip past this bc you don’t care 😒”

Me:

incels are at it again

#marvel dudebros are the fucking worst

it’s 2019 people aren’t bullying you because you like ironman, they’re bullying you because you have a superiority complex and don’t shower

stan lee: most of our iron man comic readers back in the 60s were female and we receieved countless fanmail from so many women about how much they loved the character

dudebros: comic books were invented for MEN and we got OSTRACISED and called DORKS by WOMEN who HATED comics for DECADES!!

100% unironically believe pete committed election fraud

Y’all have got to be joking. I’m not necessarily the hugest Buttigieg fan, but to accuse another democratic candidate for president of election fraud is dangerous, especially when the only “proof” you have is that his mother’s sister’s boyfriend’s auntie’s whatever whatever worked for an app company. Bernie ALSO hinted that he won the caucus “with no proof.” It’s just a strategy to show confidence and strength. Not an admission of guilt.

I also don’t really know what you’re trying to prove with your first pic. The way caucuses work is that a whole bunch of people go stand in a room in groups based on who they’re voting for. There are several rounds of shuffling around the room as candidates get eliminated for having too few votes. Buttigieg getting a lot of final round votes makes sense—as other more moderate candidates were eliminated, their voters moved across the room to the Buttigieg group. (These “movers” were the “final” votes.) It makes sense that Bernie would get fewer final-round voters too—all the people who were with him in the first round are die-hard fans, and the other left-most leaning candidates were not going to get eliminated and give him their votes. Buttigieg was going to pick up Biden, Klobuchar, Steyer, and Bloomberg voters. Bernie was likely to pick up mostly Warren voters, and she did well. That’s just caucuses. Not proof of election fraud.

I really understand the frustration of not knowing the results of this caucus. I know how frustrated Bernie voters must feel after 2016. But we have no evidence or indication that Pete Buttigieg is corrupt, and he’s not nearly as bad as Trump. We need to stop spinning lies about every person with an outside chance of becoming the democratic nominee, just because they’re not out favorite candidate. There are a lot of people in this country who are skeptical of Bernie. It’s not for us to decide that their decision to participate in elections indicates cheating on the part of another candidate.

Please let’s all calm down and wait for the results of the caucus, and let cooler heads prevail before we start accusing upstanding, dedicated public servants of felonies. Bernie might still win. And if some reporter actually proves Pete committed fruad, I’ll eat my words. But guys—he almost certainly did not.

omg shut up his own people tweeted out photos showing them wrongly rounding up numbers in his favor and theres a direct money trail between him and the app, thats called corruption baby!

if you still think american elections are above scrutiny and that democratic candidates don't commit fraud then you're an idiot and should just block me

Y’all really are out here dumb thinking that Democrats don’t commit election fraud

This is why e-voting and apps should never be a thing ever. And why else are we just now getting 62% of the results if Bernie ain't the winner?

I fully understand that it's considered rude to sanitize your hands after shaking hands with a group of people, and I just want everyone to know: I'm not doing it because I think you're disgusting and I want to get your internet stank off of me; I'm doing it because I know the statistics about cis men washing their hands.

I'm a strong, capable adult. If I wanted to touch fifty dicks in a single afternoon, I'd do it myself. I don't need your hand outs.

NYC Data Stories: Allyship

For when people say they’re sick of seeing gay stuff everywhere. Suck it up. 4 years. 4 years. And that’s just on the books, it’s legal. It doesn’t stop shitty attitudes, actions, or straight up violence.

4 years only covers being legally allowed to exist and marry

There are still 17 states that have no workplace protection for LGBT+ employees, and 10 state that only have protection if you’re a government employee. That means over half of the states in the U.S. still legally allow LGBT+ discrimination at almost every workplace

You can legally get married in those states and the next day you could legally be fired

One of the best dance routines I’ve ever watched.

The Nicholas Brothers

I believe these gentlemen are scientifically classified as a liquid.

Diagnosis: sick liquid fire

Didn’t they use these dudes to help animate some of the dancing in Betty Boop?

Correct!

Even more, they utilized Cab Calloway (the band leader) and used the same rotoscoped piece of him dancing in almost 20 of their shorts!

Me halfway through this clip: “oh wait, are these the same guys who did the thing where they’d leapfrog over each other into the splits down some stairs?” *literally five seconds later they dance onto the stairs set* “Never mind.”

Happy Black History Month!

men will watch the most trash shit ever released but when it comes to a girl squad movie it needs to meet the highest bar to be considered watchable and worthy of their oh so valuable time lol i have to laugh

i was thinking abt that earlier bc my coworker said "so birds of prey doesn't look very good" and i said "i don't care if it's the most trash ass movie ever made, i'm excited and i'm GONNA watch it!" he said "what, just because they're women" and i said "uh. yeah."

especially in genres, women are held to a weirdly high standard. there are like eight fucking movies where tom cruise plays himself in ridiculous high-stakes spy settings and no one bitches that they're unrealistic or stupid or whatever but margot robbie does it once and suddenly it's all about the integrity of the art.

Men will fully see 11 Fast and Furious movies and 7 spinoffs to “support the boys” or whatever but the second a girl movie comes out theyre all film majors

fuck it up Cathleen!!!!!!!

Listen. I want to tell you guys about the Dollar Tree. If you ever need to rebuild your life fast, you want a dollar tree. Everything in a dollar tree costs one dollar. No exceptions. Nothing has a price tag. Everything is one dollar. 

This is Dollar Tree not Dollar General. 

Dollar Tree looks like this: 

Their stuff is off-brand but decent quality.  

Here are some things you can buy at the dollar tree for one dollar: 

- any kind of makeup- foundation, eyeshadow, lipstick, lip gloss, mascara, etc

- socks

- Sports bras (sometimes) 

- combs, brushes, hairclips, scrunchies, hair ties, headbands

- clothes hangers, laundry bags, mothballs

- any kind of office supplies or school supplies. Staplers, pencils, posterboard, pencils, pens, etc. 

- party supplies including paper plates and balloons

- all kinds of toiletries- shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, washcloths, deodorant, razors, shaving cream, nailclippers, etc. Decent sizes, too. 

- ceramic/glass plates, bowls, cups

- reading glasses, sunglasses

- plastic buckets

- cleaning supplies, detergent, bleach, laundry syrup, fabric softener, dish soap, sponges. brooms 

- electronics, headphones, night lights, phone chargers, batteries, screen cleaners, phone cases

Basically? If you ever get kicked out of your house or find yourself with a couple bucks and nothing else, get thee to a dollar tree. 

All the dollar tree stores I have been in have some sort of medical aisle too. Its actually where I went first when my tooth broke for some off brand orajel (Works much faster and better than orajel imo, longer too if you put it on a cotton ball and keep it in the area) And sometimes even emergency temp tooth repair kits, which are at least $7 elsewhere. Dollar tree is a miracle.

I love Dollar Tree. When I first moved out this place saved me.

Every 20-something individual needs a Dollar Tree nearby. 

Dollar Tree also sells PREGNANCY TESTS and yes they work! Go in and buy like 5 of them, don’t spend $25 on three at CVS, not worth your money and honestly has saved me TONS of anxiety.

Dollar Tree also takes EBT. I nearly cried when I discovered that, because of my strict dietary needs.

Dollar Tree is good for greeting cards, as well. Don’t have a lot of money?

No problem!

They have a 50¢ section and a $1 section!

They literally have EVERY candy you’d get at a theater too, and way more.  Their snack row is to DIE FOR.

Also–college kids!  When my roommate stole all of my forks and bowls and then moved out unannounced in the middle of my freshman year, I went straight to Dollar Tree and got 2 packs of forks (each pack is 4 forks) for $1 each and some cute bowls that are still my favorite bowls in the house.  Not only is their silverware sturdy, but their plates and bowls are really cute.

A few dollar tree stores near me have even added a cold foods section! So check your local Dollar Tree for a $1 bag of frozen chicken nuggets and get yourself a meal!

The Dollar Tree actually has quite a few name brand products now too!
