I like dorky stuff, comic books, movies, board games, fan fiction and video games, you may see some linguistic stuff because I'm a huge language geek. Also maybe political humor or opinions but that's all they are, humor and opinions.

Imagine taking courses to write effective headlines and then see people who don’t know shit trying to be snarky online.

Guys. For the billionth time. Headlines need to give as much relevant details as possible while still being short enough to be read at a glance or almost, and get people to read the rest. Unless the article is about someone well-known enough that we can safely assume the reader will recognize them, first names do not go in headlines

It is not about refusing to write the names of minorities in headlines. It is literally the first thing you’re taught when it comes to writing them.

On the other hand, just look how much funnier headlines could be if we adopted this policy

Seriously, do people think the headline is literally all that exists? There’s a whole article underneath it, you know!

This is great. It explains it very well with the examples. Though I am laughing at the title “human brian” instead of “human brain”. Who was supposed to proofread that? Fail

No caption necessary except 😂

Like I’ve said before: the English never got over Julius Caesar forcing them to bathe and speak in complete sentences and have been a feral menace ever since.

This was so satisfying

“Gorillaz really need to slow it down with the politics! They need to go back to their normal dance music like they used to do, none of this new political business! They’re going to lose viewers if they keep shoving their beliefs in our faces like this!“

I was going to keep in the tags but nah

Dirty harry was about the Iraq war. November has come was calling out George W. Bush’s shitty presidency. Rhinestone eyes was a piece on how corporate pollution is affecting our oceans. Ascension was about racism and police violence. Hallelujah money!!! Submission!!! Let me out!!! None of this is new for them

You don’t have to enjoy music about politics, but don’t listen to music about politics and then complain that it’s about politics! There’s so much music out there; listen to something else if it’s that bothersome to you that’s some musicians think racism, war and capitalism just isn’t cool

Gorillaz was a commentary against capitalism from its inception. Damon and Jamie hated how the charts were full of music that they felt wasn’t authentic, was created with the goal of what will make the most money.

And their response to manufactured pop music was to literally manufacture a band. A band where all the players are literally two dimensional created fictions.

Gorillaz was social commentary from the start. Watch the video for Rock It.

Where’ve you been, man?

Even fucking Feel Good, Gorillaz’s most iconic song, was about the evils of media corporations that sneakily inject pro fascist propaganda into music.

*shows up 15 months late with starbucks* anyway here’s my vine compilation

Fuck, Millennials are fucking hilarious

I always feel better about youths after a good vine comp.

t-t-t-t-t-target!!!!!

“Do you speak any Japanese?”

“I’m Chinese I don’t speak any-”

“‘Cause if you do, I’ll sleep with you right now.”

“MITSUBISHI, TOYOTA”

“Bitch cone get me, not only is he ugly but his dishes talk!” “Who you talking to Belle?” “Uh… No one…. bitch that was his plate!”

Honestly something that bothers me more than most things is having my compassion mistaken for naivety.

I know that another fish might eat this bullfrog right after I spend months rehabilitating it.

I know that turning a beetle back onto its legs won’t save it from falling over again when I walk away.

I know that there is no cosmic reward waiting for my soul based on how many worms I pick off a hot sidewalk to put into the mud, or how many times I’ve helped a a raccoon climb out of a too-deep trashcan. 

I know things suffer, and things struggle, and things die uselessly all day long. I’m young and idealistic, but I’m not literally a child. I would never judge another person for walking by an injured bird, for ignoring a worm, or for not really caring about the fate of a frog in a pond full of, y’know, plenty of other frogs.

There is nothing wrong with that.

But I cannot cannot cannot look at something struggling and ignore it if I may have the power to help.

There is so much bad stuff in this world so far beyond my control, that I take comfort in the smallest, most thankless tasks. It’s a relief to say “I can help you in this moment,” even though they don’t understand.

I don’t need a devil’s advocate to tell me another fish probably ate that frog when I let it go, or that the raccoon probably ended up trapped in another dumpster the next night.

I know!!!! I know!!!!!!! But today I had the power to help! So I did! And it made me happy!

So just leave me alone alright thank u!!!!

THIS.

I heard a story about this, a parable I guess.

There was a big storm and a ton of starfish were washed onto the beach, stranded much further up than they could get back and beginning to bake in the post-storm sunshine. A little girl was walking down the beach, picking up starfish and throwing them back into the sea. Some guy comes up and asks her what she’s doing. “Saving the starfish,” she says.

He looks around at the huge beach and the hundreds of starfish, and says “You can’t possibly save them all. I’m afraid you’re not gonna make much of a difference.”

She throws another starfish back into the ocean, and replies “It made a difference to that one.”

Yeah, I mean, we know we can’t change all the things. But have you ever noticed how much better life is when you’re around people who change things when they can?

Kindness is a choice. Even if it’s small, it’s worth it.

This is what I’m talking about, when I say that kindness and compassion do not equate with ignorance, stupidity, or naivety. Being cynical does not make someone more intelligent or more worldly. 

Kindness is not weakness.

Kindness is brave. Especially when you also know that your kindness might not be returned, may even be met with anger or cruelty. It’s reaching out with an open hand, knowing that it’s just as likely to be bitten as it is to be held. 

Kindness is hard. If you can’t find it in yourself to be kind, then fine. But don’t make it more difficult for those that can.

Reminds me so much of mini-prinz and his tales of picking up snails off the sidewalk 😊
