08.04.18 // hi everyone!! it’s been a while :) here’s an old spread i had sitting in my drafts!! inspired by inception :))

[fandomsandfeminism]

Thought: I do NOT think that 50% of the world’s billionaires should be women. I think there shouldn’t be any billionaires at all.

[cranberrybogmummy]

So you are saying 0% of the world should be billionaires?

[fandomsandfeminism]

Yes.

[caosdth]

Why shouldn’t their be billionaires? That makes no sense.

[fandomsandfeminism]

Because the existence of billionaires is predicated on the exploitation of human labor and unsustainable environmental harm.  That level of wealth hoarding is harmful to economies, as it reduces the amount of money in circulation. No one person, no family, could ever conceivably even SPEND a billion dollars anyway, and  it is inherently immoral to accumulate wealth so narrowly while so much of the world lives in abject poverty.  

Better then to create a wealth ceiling, a point at which all wealth over a certain point  is taxed at or very near 100% to incentivize people to actually spend their money rather than hoard it, stimulating the economy and bettering the lives of far more people. Better even still to create and regulate economic systems that protect workers and the environment in a way that such extreme levels of wealth accumulation aren’t even feasible. 

[aflawedmind]

The problem with this is that it reduces the incentive to actually do fiscally well. What’s the point of starting a business if you can’t become wealthy?

[fandomsandfeminism]

There is a very real difference between “reasonably wealthy” and A BILLIONAIRE

[twodotsknowwhy]

No one is saying you shouldn’t have a nice house, we are saying that having multiple really, really ridiculously nice houses while your employees are either homeless or at serious risk of becoming homeless is immoral.

[whenandwhereienter]

I’ll never understand why this concept is hard for people. I think it’s because they can’t actually fathom how much $1 Billion is.

[fandomsandfeminism]

Seriously.

Let’s say you have a badass job. A great job. You make $100 AN HOUR. You work 10 hours a day ($1000 A DAY), 5 days a week ($5000 a week!!!), every week ($20,000 A MONTH), thats $240,000 Every Year.

It would take you 4,167 years to make a billion dollars.

[fandomsandfeminism]

Keep in mind then, that if you got paid $1000 an hour, 10 hours a day, five days a week, every week, all year, it would still take over 400 years to make a billion.

You want to make one billion in a human lifetime? If you made $10,000 an HOUR, 10 hours a day, 5 days a week, every week, all year, it would take you 41 years to hit a billion.

(And that’s not counting, ya know, money you spend to stay alive on food or rent or anything. )

Jeff Bezos currently has 140 billion dollars.

[bando--grand-scamyon]

$10,000 an HOUR while most of us barely making $12. Can y’all conceptualize now?

[glizzygaymer]

Will always reblog

[randomslasher]

Because this is still a difficult set of numbers for some folks to comprehend (legitimately–our brains have a hard time conceptualizing big numbers) a really good example I like to use is the difference between a million and a billion in time.

1 million seconds is approximately 11 days. 

1 billion seconds is just shy of 32 years.

Funny way to find out which plant you might like to buy.

I Did A Newborn Photo Shoot With My Baby Bunny

[southbreak]

This is hands down the best newborn photo shoot that has ever existed, period.

[tordenvejr]

lay out intentions like paving of ease in future moments. “i’m gonna have fun in class tomorrow”, “when i go for a walk i’m gonna see so many beautiful things”, “i’m gonna have the most cozy night tonight”, “i’m gonna be very present with my friend on wednesday”, etc. see how easily the moment adapts. it’s like a little spell to set yourself up for goodness

short hairstyles for women/butches

note: don’t know who these are for the most part! they might be gay, i just found them on google images. also this isn’t a ranked list i just like numbers

1. tapered and long

the top two are probably the best approximation of this cut. i like it because it’s floofy but you don’t necessarily have to have curls to pull it off

2. bowl cut pixie

ngl i thought i wasn’t going to like this but i’m actually a huge fan. gives me kind of edgy lisbeth salander vibes. this would be a really good way for femmes to flag too because it’s kinda off center of straight fashion

3. buzzcut

a classique and sexie look. buzzcuts looks rly good when they’re dyed if you’re into that (i especially love obnoxiously bright colours). if we’re doing characters, this reminds me of furiosa obviously and we all know she’s a lesbian legend

4. undercut

i’m obsessed with undercuts. it looks so so cute with curly hair or straight hair. i also like how it can be really soft or really severe depending on how you style it. it’s also super androgynous

5. short shag

terrible name but a super cute haircut. it’s softer than some of the other ones i have listed if that’s what you’re into. looks cute with curly or straight hair. gives me a bit of baby butch vibes.

6. pompadour

love it! classic! that janelle monae look? beautiful. it lengthens your face if that sweetens the deal for anyone. very dependable and handsome butch look. would highly recommend.

7. curly mohawk

this hairstyle is VERY important to me as a gay because it makes women look beautiful. the top right girl is literally my dream girl. also you can style it soft or really punk which is super hot.

8. random pics of women i found

wow i fuckign. i just love women! look at that! we really do short hair well ladies! thanks for reading my post i hope you enjoyed

The ABCDE Method: Accomplish Tasks more Efficiently

I recently came across the ABCDE method that’s similar to what I do to stay productive each day: instead of lumping up all your tasks, sort them into categories and tackle each of them differently. Here’s an outline of the method. Hope it helps :)

[fightostudy]

This is such an amazing method!! Keen to try - will let you all know how it goes :)

[eintsein]

can’t wait to hear how it turns out!

no, listen, when I say I want to integrate more specific solarpunk stuff in my life, i don’t mean to ask for yet again new “aesthetic” clothes that now you have to buy or make to show your support of the movement (screw that i’m consuming enough as it is), or more posts about impossible house goals, or whatever, I’m asking you what my options to build a portable and eco friendly phone charger are, im asking you viable tiny-appartment edible plants growing tricks on a budget,  im asking tips to slow down when my mind and society tell me im not fast enough, i don’t need more rich art nouveau amateurs aesthetics or pristine but cold venus project, okay, i know i should joins associations where I am tho i’m constantly on the move, thanks for that, just, you know, can we get a bit more practical ??? how do I hack my temporary flat into going off the grid for the time i’m here

Planning Printables

Printable Pack #3

Hey guys, summer break just started so I thought I’d make some more printables for y’all. These are based off of some of the tools/planning methods I used (such as in my bullet journal, etc.) that helped me get through my first year of college - hopefully they’ll be helpful for you guys, too!

Hope you have an awesome summer!

Being bisexual is weird because like I don’t know about other bisexuals, but bi-erasure is so strong that even I think I’m faking it sometimes?? like one day I’ll wake up and be like “I’m obviously living a lie I’m a giant homosexual??” but then a second later I’ll be like “Am I just a straight person lying to myself???” Its like I forget my own orientation exists

[nnotsogreat]

hello these gifs were made to help during panic/anxiety attacks. some are just basic breathing exercises and others use emdr (a technique that reduces or controls panic attacks or feelings of anxiety). bon appetite

do german scouts or like youth movements in general not really sell stuff then? most scouts around here (belgium) sell pancakes or waffles at least once a year to fund their summer camp

i have never met or seen a scout in real life, so i really have no clue what they do. i basically only know they exist from really old books from the last century and because donald duck’s nephews were scouts lmao 

i also struggle to think of “youth movements” - any germans who can help me out here? i feel like all we did and do as kids here (club-wise) is sports and music. 

[learning-teaching]

All I can think of is Messdiener, so church stuff, they go on trips and camp together and things like that. I have also never met or seen any scout.

Apart from that, I think youth movements are a sensitive issue in Germany, like many other things related to history. Quite a few people would probably find that problematic nowadays.
