Greek workers, after months without pay, apply austerity cuts on their bosses car
Showed this to my brother and he went âbet they wonât have jobs after thatâ
THEY WERENâT GETTING PAID FOR THEIR WORK ANYWAY!!!!!! THATâS THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT!!!
Someone print this post out and nail it to Jeff Bezosâ door like the 99 Theses
The brain is just 8 lbs of meat that sits in complete darkness and plays a video game of what it thinks is the most realistic thing ever.
itâs 3lbs, not 8. also itâs not really meat, itâs mostly fat with some water and salt. You have a wad of soggy bacon inside your skull. And this blob of gross unprocessed jello somehow manages to run a complex biomechanical suit using less electricity than it takes to work a lightbulb. And people wonder why humans are so fucking weird and have odd experiences that arenât actually real. I mean, if a bowl of tapioca pudding managed to hallucinate so vividly it invented calculus, it also going âdude, i heard a weird noise and iâm 100% sure it was the ghost of the neighborâs cat which hasnât actually died yetâ would be just as expected as anything else.
why isnât anyone allowed to be wrong anymore? itâs okay to be wrong. no one should be terrified of every tiny little mistake they might make. being wrong, and realizing you were wrong, is how you learn and grow and change.
This is great thank you
the Drake and Millie situation? why is this being allowed to happen. I know it happens all over the world but here - right in the public eye itâs happening and nobody is thinking anything of it??? Or are turning a blind fucking eye??

Stop leaving out the Black girls.
Jorja is only just now 21 and Bella Harris is only 18.
dont lie to yourselves this IS as digusting as it sounds and these people had sex with these girls probably at the age they met them⌠maximum a year after.. not EVEN a couple years
the one problem i have with people my age and younger is that a lot of us do not have hands on hobbies. like i have spoken to so many people my age who go to work, go to school and then fuck around on their phone/computer for hours and then ???????? like no wonder ur depressed and have low confidence in urself. u need to get ur hands on something, feed those dopamine receptors! learn how to play guitar, garden, scrapbook, fucking make model trains. i donât give a shit, MAKE SOMETHING!!
it feels better than drugs when i finish making a thingâand then show it off or gift it.
and then so people my age say to me âwellâi canât draw/paint/knit/etc. like you can. my stuff would be terrible.â yeah, well duhâa part of developing skill is sucking at something and then practicing it over and over and over again until you suck less. uâll have a hard time feeling lonely or bored when you canât stop thinking abt a technique you want to try or something you want to make for someone else. making things has SAVED MY LIFE. it gave me a reason to keep living day after day when i wanted to die.
making things have improved my generational relationships (when i worked for the newspaper i would talk to customers abt jamming recipes or cross-stitch, one of my grandmas always gives me pattern books and tell me abt when she knitted things for mom, my other grandma is giving me a wedding quilt that HER grandma gave her 50 years ago because she knows i will appreciate it). it also got me likeminded friends who also make things.
take a ceramics class! pick up water colors, bake cakes! learn to work on cars! make soap. DO SOMETHING THAT DOESNâT INVOLVE STARING AT A SCREEN.
Hobbies cost money, Helen.
Do you eat? Then you can have a hobby.
Can you see green outside? Can you get some dirt? Then you can have a hobby.
Do you have a pen and paper? Hobby.
Something with a keyboard? Hobby.
The ability to walk? Hobby.
Get creative and don't be a pessimist is step one Barabra.Â
Acting like itâs easy or simple to have an ENJOYABLE hobby on zero budget is a puerile view that shifts the blame for the unhappiness of people trapped at the bottom of a dehumanizing, vicious system. Its possible of course. There are people who are into things that can be done cheaply, and thatâs great! But not everyone takes joy in the things that can be done on a budget of next to nothing, and we shouldnât EXPECT people to!
Might as well lie down and die then! God forbid anyone try to better themselves.
Have two feet and a heartbeat? Go for a fucking walk, do some pushups, volunteer to play with shelter dogs.
Have two hands and a heartbeat? Sketch. Napkins are free, steal a pen from your job, voila! Picasso.
Have one hand and a pacemaker? Might I recommend composing music on garage band?
The Y offers low-cost social classes. There are also coding classes online. Turn a hobby into a job!
Your computer has a microphone. Start making podcasts.
Crafty and bedbound? Try watercolours; theyâre available at the dollar store.
Granola hippy? Get a towel, find a floor, queue up a yoga tutorial on YouTube. Namaste.
Garden witch? Dollarstore pot and a small bag of potting mix. Take your old head of lettuce, keep the bottom wet for a day, put butt of lettuce into dirt. Voila. Salad. Mint works well and is likewise indestructible.
Not into sports? Read books online. There are thousands of classic titles available. Internet got cut off? Library. Illiterate? Perfect â thereâs your project. Or: books on tape, available at your local library, for free.
Look â I donât take joy in my commute and I wish I had a helicopter to take me everywhere I wanted to go. But whining about my misfortune doesnât solve my problem, and neither does this defeatist attitude.
If you have the time and tech to scroll this website, you have the time to develop a fulfilling hobby.
Anything else is just wallowing in your own misery because the alternative â trying and failing â is too daunting.
Oh well. Life is daunting. So either get it done or get it over with; it does not get any easier.
Lmao yâall are really over here assmad at the very idea of bettering your lives in any way. Itâs kind of pathetic.
You know Tumblrâs âcrabs in a bucketâ mentality is so rampant when having HOBBIES isnât even allowed.
dark circles look so good ⌠can we just all collectively acknowledge that
like what a sexy way to say youâre done w the world and ready to pull out a bat at any moment

The Times probably should have waited until after the Kavanaugh coverage slowed down, but then there probably would have just been some other big shit storm stirring up because every day is a hell day full of shit storms in the Trump Presidency, ensuring that every shitty thing he does gets buried in the latest shit storms.
new fave insult:
this is a weird hill youâve chosen to die on, but at least youâre dead.
TBH I havenât looked at Drake the same since I first found out he is friends with a man who has charges for human trafficking.
Iâm a firm believer in âYou are the company you keepâ so if thatâs who he is choosing to hang around and call a friend then it says nothing good about his character, ethics, and morals in general.
Finding out he gets involved or potentially messes with underage girls just reinforces my initial judgement and suspicion that he is man of bad character and has no ethics or morals.
WaitâŚâŚWhat? âŚ. bruh
Look up Baka Not Nice wiki page. Heâs signed to Drakeâs OVO label.
That article where a law professor argues that battered women are morally entitled to kill their abusers has an interesting quote: â Men can kill women with their bare hands, and they do. Women almost never kill men that way. They canât. [âŚ] While very few women kill abusive men who are asleep or passed out, itâs âunfairâ to charge them with first degree murder, Sheehy argues. âItâs not fair to characterize it as the most heinous form of murder, because it may be their own route to survival. â There have probably been feminist analyses of this already, but itâs worth discussing how the concept of self-defence, especially in domestic violence cases, was designed by men to benefit men. In my country at least, your attack is only considered âlegitimate self-defenceâ if it is a) necessary, b) immediate, c) proportionate. A concept of self-defence that only applies if you hurt or kill someone while they are attacking you, and if you hurt or kill them using the same weapons as them (your bare hands, if thatâs what they are using) only benefits people who are likely to be attacked by people of similar size and physical strength, and is utterly useless to women.
When a bigger, stronger male beats up his much smaller wife, itâs almost impossible for her to kill him in self-defence (immediately and proportionately ie with nothing but her fists), and yet itâs the scenario through which she can hope to be acquitted or get a light sentence. Thatâs not a coincidence. The other two scenarios (and she will be despised if she picks either) are for her to 1) kill him later (when he canât use his physical advantage, eg when heâs asleep or has his back turned on her), but it wonât be self-defence because it wonât be immediate. (In the Jacqueline Sauvage case, one of the main arguments against her was that she shot her husband in the back at a time when he wasnât actively beating her up) 2) use a weapon, but it wonât be self-defence because it wonât be proportionate. Obviously this condition also benefits men, because when a woman gets punched by her husband and she punches him back, itâs seen as a proportionate response but it shouldnât be, because her punch (typically) wonât do nearly as much damage as his. Anything else she does (like use a weapon) to try and hurt him as much as he hurt her will be considered a disproportionate response and will mean it wasnât self-defence.
The idea that killing your abuser in a honest face-to-face fight with your bare hands is honourable and forgivable, but killing your abuser in any other way is shameful and wrong, utterly benefits men and protects men. Itâs also why poison was historically reviled as a âfemale weaponâ and as the most cowardly way to kill someone. Poison has been described as âa great equalizerâ - no wonder men hated it. Men have always hated, and will keep hating, shaming, and outlawing, any form of attack through which women can compensate our disadvantage in strength and size, and they will keep praising as the only valid method of self-defence, the method that presents the smallest risk of being effectively used by women against them.
This is important
ultimately i think kindness is the most radical thing you can do with your pain and your anger. itâs like, you take everything awful thatâs ever been done to you, and you throw it back in the worldâs teeth, and you say no, fuck you, iâm not going to take this. Â you say this is unacceptable. you say that shit stops with me.
humans are fucking terrible and this awful world we live in will fucking kill you but if you are kind, if you are brave and clever and try really hard, you can defy it. you can impose on this bleak and monstrous structure something beautiful. even if itâs temporary. even if it doesnât heal anything inside you thatâs been hurt. Â
iâm gonna sleep and iâm gonna wake up and i swear by everything in this deadly horrible universe iâm gonna make someone happy.Â
iâve seen a number of comments and tags where people feel that they must swallow or repress their anger in order to engage in kindness. that is not at all what i am recommending here. radical kindness is an expression of anger. it is not passive. it is not repressive. it does not require you, in any way, to forgive those that have fucked you up. it does not require you to be quiet.Â
it just requires that you be kind. viciously. vengefully. you fight back. you plant flowers. give to charity. play games. pet someoneâs dog. scream into the dark. paint and write and dance, tell jokes, sing songs, bake cookies. you have been hurt and you donât have to deny that hurt. you just have to recognize it in other people, and take their hand, and say: no more. enough. fuck this. no more.Â
have a cookie.
i will say this again: we are all going to die. the universe is enormous and almost entirely empty. to be kind to each other is the most incredible act of defiance against the dark that i can imagine.Â
i will say this again: we are all going to die. the universe is enormous and almost entirely empty. to be kind to each other is the most incredible act of defiance against the dark that i can imagine.
1. The universe is indifferent. We ought not be.
2. A good quote:Â There are two kinds of people. Those who think, âI donât want anyone to suffer like I did.â And those who think, âI suffered; why shouldnât they?â
3. Two good quotes by Kurt Vonnegut: âHello babies. Welcome to Earth. Itâs hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Itâs round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, youâve got a hundred years here. Thereâs only one rule that I know of, babies-âGod damn it, youâve got to be kind.â
And: âBe soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.â
#hopepunk
âHope is not a lottery ticket you can sit on the sofa and clutch, feeling lucky. It is an axe you break down doors with in an emergency. Hope should shove you out the door, because it will take everything you have to steer the future away from endless war, from the annihilation of the earthâs treasures and the grinding down of the poor and marginal⌠To hope is to give yourself to the future - and that commitment to the future is what makes the present inhabitable.â
-Rebecca Solnit; Hope in the Dark
I really needed this right now. Thank you
Indeed.
I think itâs important to clarify that radical kindness doesnât mean you have to be kind to your abusers, or to asshole men in power (like the orange one or his horrible judge). Itâs not biting your tongue, smiling, and allowing yourself to be mistreated in order to fulfill some sort of fucked up ideal of âthe high roadâ or whatever. Itâs refusing to allow anyone else to be mistreated without comment. Itâs extending kindness to other survivors and other folks facing oppression, even when that oppression is different than the kind you face. The folks in charge want us broken down into easily-controlled bite-size chunks. Empathy, compassion, communication, cooperation, collaboration - these are kindness, and they are powerful, radical tools that we can use to help one another heal and to build our communities into something stronger and better.
Be kind out of spite.
