On a lighter note, MLB has the strongest Evan Hansen vibes and no one will ever convince me otherwise

Well now I can correctly moonwalk away from uncomfortable situations

[timecouldnever]

Because everyone deserves to know how to do a mean moonwalk.

I definitely reblogged this sitting down not getting up to do the moonwalk at all

Regardless of the numbers on your paycheck or in your bank account, nobody is less than you.

Also most people in NYC are working more than 1 job. I know people living out shelters working 2 jobs.

So the fact that people are working 2 jobs and living in shelters shows that having a job or jobs doesn’t prevent homelessness. So there should still be no superiority complex in these employees.

This didn’t happen in New York City

This happened in Syracuse, New York, where I live. It is one of the poorest cities in the entire United States. We have a large number of homeless people, many who are mentally ill and/or disabled. When these stories are labeled as “New York,” people think it’s NYC and end up ignoring the issues in “upstate” NY.

This homeless man’s name is Jeremy Dufresne. He is a homeless man suffering from schizophrenia. He was charging his phone in order to contact his mother. A gofundme was put together in order to replace Dufresne’s clothes and phone charger. So far 22k has been reached to help him get on his feet. 

Al-Amin Muhammad, a local homeless advocate, confronted the Dunkin Donuts employees. He runs an organization called We Rise Above the Streets, which has been feeding and clothing homeless people in Syracuse, NY. You can support this organization by donating here. 

(Money supports distribution of meals, clothing, and hygiene items)

Al-Amin Muhammed is a former homeless man, drug dealer, and convict. He now dedicates his life to helping those who went through the same struggles as he did. He actively protested this Dunkin Donuts. He met with the owners of this store, and they agreed to contribute to feeding the homeless.

Additionally:

The workers who dumped the water on Dufresne were fired almost immediately. Furthermore, one of the workers publicly apologized for his actions. Another popular donut shop is giving away 1,000 donuts to the homeless in the wake of what happened.

Again, this isn’t about New York City. Poverty and homelessness are a big issue for Syracuse, NY.

Wait what the fuck??? I live in Syracuse too and didn’t even realize this happened in Syracuse. Jesus.

Hot damn, this season of Shameless is a MESS

[grown-up-matilda]

last straw.

I hate this country. With all my heart, 100%, deep down from the bottom of my soul, I hate it. It has always been fucking terrible, it will always be fucking terrible, and I absolutely, utterly despise it. The only people this country has ever been “great” for are white men. Full stop.

how STUPID do you have to be, after finding out that Facebook has been selling our personal info and spreading rampant fake information (like moreso than REAL information), to STILL be falling for blatantly-doctored images and posts and not do any kind of fact-check before you post it???

Look I was a high school theatre kid and I love high school theatre kids but witnessing them as an adult makes me realize that holy shit they’re some of the most obnoxious people on the planet
