JOEY STOP HITTING ON LITERALLY EVERYBODY

YOUR generation

YOUR generation was the generation where two teachers could afford to buy a 4-bedroom house in San Diego, CA and then afford the mortgage and raise 2 kids in private school (my parents did this).

YOUR generation was the generation where one parent could work in Financial Aid at the local college and the other could raise 2 kids in a 3 bedroom house (my now-retired coworker did this).

YOUR generation was the generation where you could wash dishes to put yourself through college and law school (my uncle did this).

MY generation can’t buy a home when the average cost is $440k and a combined income of two teachers is only $70k, and they have to pay 35% income to rent, let alone trying to afford children.

MY generation has both parents working, one or both working 2 jobs just to buy food, not even able to afford a family vacation every December.

MY generation is in student debt on average $29,400.  And we have scholarships but they only cover 40% of the cost and when law school costs $120k for 2 years, you do the math.

So don’t tell me that it’s MY GENERATION that fucking things up.  We’re only 25, we didn’t get in to the war in 2001 (we were 11 years old), we didn’t de-fund mental health institutions in 1975, we didn’t decide that grants and scholarships should be funded less and tuition should cost more, we didn’t raise the housing market 7000% (my childhood home was bought for $95k and sold for $750k 20 years later).  MY GENERATION didn’t do any of that, YOUR generation did.

So don’t tell me I “just” need to “get a better job” or that I “only” have to send my kids to “a good school.”  Because it doesn’t work like that anymore.  And don’t blame me.

Can theory side of tumblr explain why cats are so chill?

rhizomes

antihumanism

*Zizek voice* ideologically, the cat is chill because it is the perfect anti-capitalist animal due to its relationship with desire being precisely that which cannot sustain capitalism.  This is because the desire of the cat is not to buy or to possess, but to indulge in what it is provided rather than what is obtained through the exchange of capital.  He eats, he sleeps, he eats, he sleeps, he purrs, and then he sleeps *gesticulates wildly* again.  Yet, at some level, this upsets us.  We go so far as to establish mythologies about the cat to replace this absence of a desire to participate in capitalist exchange: Felix with his magic bag, Top Kat with his connections to organized crime, and most commonly, Garfield and his lasagna.  However, a cat will only eat lasagna if it is provided to him.  His desire is not for the lasagna, it is for the act of being provided for, to be chill, and thus independent of the ideological implications of capitalist exchange.

Lmao, that was pretty pro lol

This is too cute XD
