Reblog if you think public libraries are important and should be maintained.
If your life is horrible and you need a new source of meaning and direction.... Do NOT find religion. Learn to identify plants.
Full offense do i have to keep doing this whole living shit every fucking day
Gonna start referring to all my past traumatic experiences as "lore"
Before I argued with a shit ton of landlords and wannabe landlords: I think we should strengthen tenant’s rights and enforce our existing tenant protection laws better, and increase our housing benefits.
After spending too much time arguing with landlords and wannabe landlords: Fuck it. It should be illegal to own homes you don’t live in. If you won’t sell to the people renting from you, people should forcibly take your property. All landlords are parasites.
"iF yOu DoN't LiKe ReNtInG jUsT bUy A hOuSe"
Houses in my city go for, like, $500k. I can't. Housing prices in the US have skyrocketed while wages have stagnated. That is in fact the problem--most people cannot afford to buy a house, and many people pay more than half their income in rent. Ever saved up for a down payment on a house while doing that?
"mOvE iF yOu DoN't LiKe YoUr LaNdLoRd"
Moving is expensive and stressful. There's no guarantee of finding another place within reasonable distance of where we work, where we buy groceries, etc.
"bUt If LaNdLoRdS dOn'T rEnT oUt HoUsInG wHeRe WiLl PeOpLe LiVe?!"
If landlords/property companies all were forced to sell every place they owned except housing they specifically lived in, the market would have such a glut of housing that prices would nosedive in nearly every city in the US, possibly to the point where normal, average working people could buy one. Houses and apartments do not blink out of existence because a landlord stops renting them out. Why do I see this dumbass line of logic so fucking often.
People literally cannot wrap their minds around the fact that landlords (and I include property companies--the kind that own multiple apartment complexes--as landlords) don't create or do anything of value. "But when I need the water heater fixed, the landlord fixes it." Except for some mom'n'pop landlord operations that insist on DIY'ing everything, your landlord is not the one who is fixing it. The person who physically comes to your unit and fixes it is the person who fixes it, and your landlord is just an expensive gatekeeper who decides for you whether you actually need your water heater fixed. If you owned the place you could have insurance against that kind of thing, you could put money in a co-op that pays for that kind of thing (like condo associations do), or you could just pay out of pocket for it if you have the money. If you did take on the risk of repairing it yourself, the only person who would suffer is you. But you wouldn't be at the mercy of some dipshit who tries desperately not to get your water heater fixed (even though that's illegal), or who hires the cheapest person they could find (who might suck ass and make it worse), or insists on doing it themselves (whether they know what they're doing or not).
HUMANS REQUIRE SHELTER TO SURVIVE. The modern standard for housing includes things like locking doors, ceilings and windows that don't leak, walls that aren't covered in mold, and working electricity, plumbing, and hot water at a bare minimum. On top of that, we need shelter that's near enough to our place of employment and places to buy food, etc.
Landlords do not provide housing. They hold it ransom for as much money as they think they can get, because they know we need housing to survive. They buy up as much housing as they can (reducing the supply of available houses for sale) and then rent them out at a profit (which means more than they're paying on the mortgage, if they have one). They are hoarding housing, creating a false scarcity, and then profiting off of it.
Landlords are parasites.
Valentine’s day is NOT a day for lovers, couples, or people in relationships. Valentine’s day is exclusively for elementary school students who each buy their entire class cute little cards with cartoon characters on them, messily scrawl their classmates names there as an act of love, and give them a tiny little candy packet.
that is the height of the holiday.
straight people do not understand james dean and they never will.. he is not your boomer leather jacket romantisization of the good ole 50s greaser Real Man taylor swift diner milkshake aesthetic hotrod he is literally the world‘s saddest, most miserable little lgbt man..he loved his mom and he loved ballet. he loved poetry. he met a girl who lost a leg in a motorcycle accident who missed riding and gave her a lift on his bike just so she could experience it again. he was thin and sickly as a kid. he felt unloved by his father. he was a sugar baby for dozens of important men in hollywood. he loved the little prince. he was terrified of abandonment. he was bipolar. he stole his boyfriends’ coats. he dodged the draft by openly telling the army he was a practicing homosexual. he was obsessed with bullfighting. he didnt use electricity on fridays because he thought candlelight was relaxing and fun. he adored judy garland. he called all the most important women in his life “mom.” he might’ve fucked walt disney. he had to train himself not to speak in a flat indiana drawl. all his friends called him jimmy, jimbo, and william bast called him “deaner.” he had terrible posture. he was incredibly nearsighted. he had a kitten named marcus, named after the uncle who raised him, that he gave away out of fear he’d not be able to take care of it properly
fyi if you want to know more about jimmy as a human being, i recommend the book written by his friend and lover william bast, surviving james dean, it’s where most of this information is sourced from, including the interpretation of him as bipolar, and you can read it for free on archive of our own, where there is also an encrypted download option for print-disabled users
Sometimes I don’t think neurotypical/cishet people understand what is means when neurodivergent, queer, and other marginalized groups that fit within Voidpunk essentially say like “I don’t want to exist, existing feels really weird” like no this doesn’t normally mean “I wanna die” this particular phrase means “why was I stuffed inside a human body, existing a human life; I’m okay with being alive but why am I subjected to human responsibility. I want to sit on the side of the road and pet geese as civilians drive by, I want to expand my infinite cloak and encompass the sky, I want to pick things up then put them back down only slightly different than they were before to confuse people as I watch as a shadow on their wall, I want to occasionally disappear into the void of space and vibe only to return to my body when I feel like doing something I need an autonomous form for; not write a term paper”

tbh the apple app store 100% benefits from you blaming Tumblr and not once questioning the fact they can functionally make any rule they want about what an app on their store is allowed to have because they have a functional monopoly on like half of all phones ability to access social media
I hate how clean and sanitized they're trying to make the internet its literally the death of culture and I'm not kidding
"There's millions of Tumblr users" to you. To me There's only about 12 and we all reblog the same five posts from each other
NSFW will be tagged as #lemon sorta NSFW is #Lime Weird fet shit/ extreme NSFW is #orange reblog to spread awareness that we’re back on the citrus scale
Let’s get back to basics. Kinda funny we rename things like we’re outlaws that try to cover up there crimes!
why have i never known about orange
Orange was originally like…a PG-13 warning. You would tag orange for fics that stopped at making out. What you’re thinking of is “Grapefruit”. The scale goes as such: Orange (PG-13, basically making out like I said) - Lime (Non-explicit sexual actions, think an M rated fic instead of NC-17) - Lemon (explicit, graphic sex, the NC-17 fics) - Grapefruit (hardcore/weird stuff)
Reblogging for the citrus correction of orange and grapefruit
It is so weird seeing people rediscover the fandom of my youth. I haven’t used the citrus scale since I last lied about being 18.
This makes me feel old.
we’re going to end up confusing the algorithms into banning citrus fruits. we’ll all get scurvy
