Screaming .. what

[albertserra]

This person thinking a $200-300 bag means you’re the 1%

[cundtcake]

[timmisny]

yeah

[repost-this-image]

I'm sitting here boggling at the idea of spending more than $30 on a purse, when i could put that money towards so many other things.

[thats-what-sidhe-said]

$300 is pricey for a bag, but I’ve spent more than that on video games, so it’s hard for me to be judgey about it. They’re good sized bags, with a simple design that you could wear with a ton of stuff and won’t go out of style quickly. If they’re really good quality, they could outlast a number of my cheapo bags, since I go through a few of those a year (when I left the house). You would definitely have to have the money up front, though. (Hello, Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness.) The designer is Liberian-American, though, so you’d be supporting a Black-owned business.

But I haven’t seen any mention of this brand before, memes or no, so why has this suddenly shown up on Tumblr? Especially since it’s pretty low priced compared to a lot of designer names. Let me google! 

Ah. AOC bought a somewhat pricey, but practical, designer name bag, supporting a Black immigrant both directly and by providing publicity for his business. Suddenly, a post appears on Tumblr encouraging socialist and communist-leaning people to hate people carrying this particular designer name bag. 

She’s up for reelection in two months.

This is what propaganda looks like.

[jehovahhthickness]

I wanna be that CEO that pays their employees 70K a year like that white guy I be seeing all over the Internet. I can’t remember his name.

I’m not gonna be like Jeff Bezos but I do wanna be a multimillionaire 😂😂😂

[jehovahhthickness]

He took a pay cut. I’m not doing all of that. Ima just pay my people well and give top notch benefits.

[jehovahhthickness]

It gets better.

[desperate-acts-of-capitalism]

We are definitely going to talk about this guy on Buisness Desserts

Employees are not costs to be reduced, they are investments, they are assets that appreciate in value

[jehovahhthickness]

Absolutely

[doebunnybooks]

For the person commenting on not taking a pay cut, he HAD to change his lifestyle to be able to afford to pay his employees a living wage. He talked to accountants and they helped him break the numbers down based on data about the cost of living and various factors about the commute, housing issues, etc. All inspired by his best friend going nearly into debt over medical costs meanwhile he had several houses, a jet, and drank champagne daily.

He sold stock, houses, and changed his spending and as a result, his employees were overall happier and the way they worked improved. They all bought more shit and had more kids and did all the consumption people want for us while also enjoying their work and their boss enough to band together and buy him a fucking Tesla as a thank you.

And you know what he realized after taking his pay cut? He didn’t need the champagne or the girls or the “lifestyle” of being a billionaire. He feels fulfilled in his work and with the people he’s surrounded himself with and he feels that he’s made a step in the right direction that other businessmen and billionaires should follow.

Please read the article and his statements on twitter because it’s eye-opening to see that you CAN be successful doing things ethically. 

[stele3]

Update: during the pandemic, Dan Price cut his salary to $0 so that he could keep paying his employees.

[cowboybaedling]

What a lovely man

[the-a-j-universe]

And to be clear.

He was only ever a fraction of a Bezos.

He did this with far less to his name. Bezos could too just as easily. He’s just a bad person, unlike Price.

[hucowgoddess]

“george floyd wasn’t a saint!” perhaps he wasn’t, bitch!!! he still did not deserve to die!!!!

[ramdaughter]

racial diversity is important but yall need to learn to prioritize and champion dark skin representation in the same way, ESP. for black women….how many dark skin models do y'all love besides duckie and naomi campbell? how many dark skin actresses do y'all love besides lupita? how many dark skin musicians are y'all listening to? Do y'all support all dark skin girls or just the ones with thin noses, big eyes, cupid lips, and delicate figures? And the media being flooded with light skin girls is no excuse… ofc directors, casting agents, producers, etc want lightness to be the face of everything. thats why we need to push back and fight to make a space for dark skin. these light girls stay getting overexposed cause yall gas them up at the expense of dark skin girls. It’s just blatant at this point and im sick of it. do better.

[tortagnamgnam]

🏳️‍🌈 Ruth Ellis (1899 - 2000) was the daughter of former slaves. She came out as a lesbian when she was 16-years-old to the complete acceptance of her family. In 1937, Ruth and her longtime partner moved to Detroit from their hometown of Springfield, Illinois for the promise of higher wages. There, she became the first woman in Michigan to run her own printing business. She printed fliers, posters, and stationary in the front room of her home, which also quickly became a hotspot for Black LGBTQ social life. Before long, Ruth was helping those who came around in any way she could, including by paying for college tuitions. After the Stonewall uprising, 70-year-old Ruth began giving speeches in support of gay and lesbian rights all across the country. She remained an activist for the rest of her long life and even spent her 100th birthday leading the San Francisco Dyke March. At the time of her death at 101, she was recognized as the oldest out lesbian in the US. She is the subject of the documentary "Living With Pride: Ruth C. Ellis @ 100" and is the namesake of the Ruth Ellis Center, a shelter for homeless and at-risk LGBTQ youth in Detroit.

Celebrate Ruth Ellis.

#Pride #BlackLivesMatter

[kimreesesdaughter]

I’m thankful for the uprising concerning George Floyd but why can’t we show up for Black women like this? Racism and police brutality aren’t Black man only problems. It broke my heart to see that we weren’t able to reserve #SayHerName for Black women.

I keep seeing so many posts about “pray for our men”, “having a Black son is a different type of strength.”...etc.

Who is praying for our daughters?

[exploitedwstockholm-deactivated]

...you've seen the Louisville protests recently for Breonna Taylor, right?

[kimreesesdaughter]

Nope. Hence why I made the post. Funny that that protest isn’t getting as much (or any) attention or acknowledgement. Breonna was also killed earlier in the year. Why do Black women have to be acknowledged under the shadows of Black men?

I’ve never seen an uprising based off a Black woman by herself being killed by police.

[kimreesesdaughter]

I’m not saying that we should stop protesting the treatment of Black men in America but I AM saying we have to extend that same energy, anger and outcry for Black women without her being in a man’s shadow, even in death.

[kimreesesdaughter]

Forever saying your names.

[kimreesesdaughter]

What’s crazy is people will look at this and probably only be able to name 2 or 3 women and still will say we don’t have an inclusion issue in the #BlackLivesMatter movement. We do. We fucking do.

[kimreesesdaughter]

I marched in DC yesterday and carried my sisters.

[90342u9rewiojdfsijfjdilkjdfsfe]

ik i said it before but if you care about black artists you should really be spreading the word and helping out Amina Mucciolo rn

she’s a black, autistic, queer woman and this is the second time a big brand has profited off of her & her ideas without even so much as acknowledging they were hers to begin with.

Lisa Frank and Hotels(.)com literally caused her to be evicted in October by stealing her home design for a pop-up hotel. neither companies have issued an apology or compensated her for this to this day.

right now, LOL Surprise & MGA Entertainment are profiting off using her likeness for a doll she did not consent to, and she is not being acknowledged or compensated.

[90342u9rewiojdfsijfjdilkjdfsfe]

also, MGA Entertainment is the parent company of Bratz as well for those who were unaware. just thought that was interesting

[90342u9rewiojdfsijfjdilkjdfsfe]

also i know this post is getting rly long but please reblog this version too!! her gofundme from the Lisa Frank incident still hasn’t reached its goal, and you can support her further by supporting to her shop & buying her art or funding her directly!

[socialistexan]

Don't forget: 1/4 of the original cowboys were black. Over half were Latino/Hispanic Vaqueros. Cowboys and the Old West being white as snow is a complete fabrication of white supremacist/capitalist media.
