Nothing golden can stay.

Vladimir Nabokov, letter to his wife Véra, Letters to Véra (ed. Brian Boyd & trans. Olga Voronin)

daily reminder that there is absolutely nothing normal about being expected to waste a majority of your life at a corporation to survive instead of indulging in better life experiences ✨

In the 1960s it was a common speculation that by 1980 the typical work week would consist of 4 days. And by the year 2000 we’d be working no more than 3 days a week.

Because of computerization, automation, and better efficiencies in workflow.

Guess what happened instead?

trump cancels meals on wheels which costed the government 3mil yet has gone on 8 fucking golf trips this year each one which cost the government 3mil. 

They’re killing us, and they’re fucking golfing over it to laugh at our demise.

This is what austerity measures look like by the way, kill the poor, allow the rich to gorge themselves on our deaths.

it’s crazy cause stuff like this cost money to build and install… put the money towards fixing the actual issue

This is wildly unjust and disgusting. If you see these in your community, please say something. Speak to your local organizers and get involved in whatever capacity you’re able.

This level of policing property is toxic. It’s anti-human.

a lot of things like this are also designed to be “artsy”. if you see weird abstract chairs or futuristic styles of subway benches or statues / boulders in little alcoves, a lot of it is intentional to keep people from being able to sit comfortably or lay down in that space. ex:

notice how the rock is painted rainbow so that if anyone moves it or smashes it up it can be called a hate crime, they’ve used pride to justify hostile designs before

things you can do (and by do I mean put the stuff there/disassemble it and then leave):

other things you can do:

behold the shitty aggressive architecture, cant sleep on it, cant skateboard on it, can’t really sit on it, cant even set something down on it as it’ll slide right off! being a dick to poor people is shitty on many, many levels!

I wish it wasn't just a dream // ma.c.a

I don’t believe in astrology but one time when I was in college I was complaining about how dumb astrology was and after a while someone on the train went “Shut the hell up and let people have fun you Capricorn sun, Virgo moon bitch” and I was like what the fuck

Then I went home and looked it up and they were right so I don’t say anything anymore
