So poor people don’t deserve to have money?!

THEY’LL JUST WASTE IT ON SURVIVAL! 

Also, if you’ve taken more than a high school economics course taught by someone who has never stepped foot in a college economics class,

Giving $500 to poor people multiplies it REALLY FAST. That $500 immediately goes into the economy and ripples more purchases until it hits a rich pocket.

Giving $500 to a billionaire takes $500 out of the economy permenantly. You could have set it on fire and made no difference.

That is such an important part of the conversation that rich people seem to purposefully misunderstand whenever it’s brought up

Money exists to be spent, not hoarded. Yes, people should have saving, but no one should be sitting on a pile of money too big to spend in a single lifetime. “The economy” as a concept only works if people are spending money, and the people hoarding the money are so quick to blame the people who barely have any when the economy starts to fail

Having a big string of numbers in an offshore account doesnt make you an economic genius, it makes you a parasite that is ruining the economy for everyone else

i want to be remembered for my love

Twitter users will not survive the winter

What do they mean it’s impossible to have conversations there’s at least three different ways to do so here

"It's impossible to have conversations there" -person coming from a website where DM'ing is now paywalled behind Twitter Blue.

You've got direct responses on reblogs like this, comments, tags, messages/anons, dms 🤨 The only way you ain't getting some form of communication is if you've got your privacy settings locked down

Anyway not having my dash move for 45 minutes is a dang blessing for my easily distracted brain when I'm trying to get shit done

"biblical angels" you do realise there are angels in the old testament that are literally just regular looking guys, right? you do know that the hallucinogenic incoherent descriptions are in like. two books. and the rest of the time angels are just guys. you know that, right?

and I'm not saying don't have fun with weird angels. I'm saying, either the eldritch forms are for special occasions, or the society of the angels is Many-Eyed-Many-Winged-Interlocking-Circles, Four-Faces-Six-Wings, and Mike.

Literally Raphael is just a normal person!

this is what the heavenly breakroom is like

Oh no now I love the water cooler angel

TIL “Yankee Doodle” was written by the British to mock americans. “Doodle” is thought to come from the German “dödel”, meaning “fool” or “simpleton” and “macaroni,” a flamboyantly stylish type of dress, painting the Yankees as morons who thought placing a feather in one’s cap made them a “dandy.”

via reddit.com

so you’re telling me that “stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni” would be like saying “wrote a G on his belt and called it gucci”

that’s…a pretty good analogy actually

US moron came to town

Hunting for some coochie

Wrote a G up on his belt

And this bitch called it Gucci

Seeing my notifications get flooded with this every July 4th is the only thing I respect about America

sorry i was so weird but you invoked a topic i am incapable of being normal about

I heard reference to something about how all anime are required to have good looking cabbage because of That One Time. So simply looking up "anime cabbage" I found the source.

Some harem anime way back in the day had an episode where the characters cooked, and they animated cabbage so terribly like this it left a bad mark on the anime community forever. Apparently this is part of the reason why all food usually looks good in anime, even moreso than the regular show sometimes. With cabbage being especially well drawn.

A complaint, apparently in a paper.

The first show when released internationally was reanimated in this part.

And high quality or low quality cabbage is sometimes referenced.

I learned of this because the most recent Hologra episode has noel eating cabbage, tearing apart a fine quality cabbage into two low poly halves.

i love learning about other cultures' memes, especially like this

This will always be my favorite gifset. Ever.

im morally obligated to reblog this every time i see it

I haven't seen this post in years. I have to

three years ago today, a new me was born

Check out this fucking shit

CHOO CHOO ALL ABOARD MOTHERFUCKERS the transfemme glow up train is leaving the station

Can I throw one in here?

Fuck it. Feb 14 2021 -> Dec 31 2022

It's punishment for his original shake-stealing ways. Hamburgler is next

Having your own personal blog is honestly quite a nice change of pace compared to Reddit. I could put a funny GIF of George Bush getting hit by a shoe on here and the worse case scenario is that no one even notices.

You put that on a big subreddit and you get your eyes gouged out and a heap of political discourse underneath your post.

YOU HEAR THAT EVERYONE??? I’M A LIL GECKO BOY

God, understandably, distraught

so it's been about a week since i've moved from reddit to this god forsaken hell hole (tumblr) and like

i love it

i'm not going back to reddit

my RtT (redditor to tumblrina) transition is complete

i never thought i would say this but this social media (if you can call tumblr one) is actually doing wonders for my mental health

no more doom scrolling

actually interacting with humans that are just as weird as me (feel free to talk to me)

not being afraid of being myself

yeah...

i'm home.

Literally me, content doesn't update fast enough on this app for me to doomscroll so I actually take breaks

I also feel like I'm interacting with actual people on here, and the posts I make are seen by actual people, vs submitting memes to a faceless void and being regurgitated an infinite stream of images

Also this entire platform being queer friendly makes me not feel attacked while browsing outside of my corner of the website

Also me and all my mutuals being a little friend group is fun, love y'all :3

I still don’t get this whole “interacting with actual people” thing. I still, just like with any other site I’ve used, still just feel like I’m shouting into a void. Nothing about this site feels any different.

i dunno, i think the fact the main way of interacting with a post is to reblog it with - most of the time - your own little take, while seeing other people you follow doing the same with their little takes on stuff they love just feels more social? like, on reddit, most of the time (at least for me) i would upvote something and move on. maybe comment. almost never dm/directly interact with anyone

maybe is just a change of perspective/fresh start for me that it feels like that?

Tumblr just feels a lot more personal, like I feel like that my posts are actually tied to me as a person. I could post anything on reddit and no matter what it was nobody would care about it in 15 minutes, but it's different on Tumblr. My first post from over a week ago is still getting comments and reblogs, I've gotten DMS from people I've never met talking to me and it's been so wonderful. It feels less like an endless void and more like a busy convention center. Yeah there's a shit load of people here, but each one of them is their own unique person that has their own personality, interests, and quirks. It's a lot easier to interact with real people than a silent wall of shitty pngs. Tumblr has honestly made it easier to interact with people irl too. There's been a positive feedback loop, which is something reddit made me feel like was impossible. Tumblr is just so much nicer to me than reddit ever was or could be, and that's something I think is wonderful. In the words of OP, I'm home

im sobbing. welcome home you guys!!

Welcome home!!

welcome home!!!!

WELCOME ^____________^ !

sesame street tarot

@cryptotheism

I love this dude. This is a masterful demonstration of cartomancy, even from an anti-theist standpoint. This person is able to understand and apply esoteric meanings to the sesame street cards on the fly, and assemble their oddball symbology into a coherent method of magic that produces reasonable advice.

So ya boi went off today

Hey can we also add the inherent ableism of it? My ADHD is so severe I've never felt safe behind a wheel and my physical issues make walking for long distances difficult. And I know there's people with even worse neurological and/or mobility issues that prevent them from driving. I almost never leave my house and I sit and think of all the places I'd like to go and things I'd like to do but can't because I'm limited by how far I can walk and how much I can carry because I don't want to burden my family having to drive me and I can't afford public transportation

Even if my ADHD wasn't severe enough to be such a barrier, I absolutely can not financially afford to buy or maintain a car or afford the gas

i woke up to like 8 dms going V WON and i don’t know how to process this but i do know this could never have happened without the help & support of all the lovely people who follow me or put up w my shenanigans on discord rallying behind us. you have no idea how much i appreciate you all

that’s over 500 people!that’s insane to me, i know i know a lot of people but i didn’t think it was anywhere near close to that many!! i love you all 😭

Mental Crop Rotation

When farmers grow the same crop too many years in a row, it can leave their soil depleted of minerals and other nutrients that are vital to the health of their fields.

To avoid this, farmers will often alternate the crops that they grow because some plants will use up different minerals (such as nitrogen) while other plants replenish those minerals. This process is known as “crop rotation.”

So the next time you find that you need to step away from a project to work on something else for a while, don’t beat yourself up for “quitting” that project. Give yourself permission to practice “mental crop rotation” to maintain a healthy brain field.

Because I’ve found that when that unnecessary guilt and pressure are removed from the process, a good mental crop rotation can help you feel more energized and invigorated than ever once you’re ready to rotate back to that project.
