THIS IS SO WORTH YOUR TIME!!!

Wax museum but one of the dudes is real and they don’t tell you who

[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.

[punkbxt]

hes so many of my fave boys

[neil-gaiman]

Also the single sweetest person I have met in the entire acting profession. Doug wins.

[neil-gaiman]

And this is also Doug Jones.

…in Budapest, with my daughter Maddy, long long ago in 2007. From http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2007/07/circus-drums-in-distance.html?m=1

Doug isn’t just a human special effect because he acts well under latex. He inhabits each of his roles, at a level of discomfort and with a lack of sleep that I would find murderous. (Think how early he needs to be in in the morning to have that latex glued on. Think how late filming can go. Doug has rights he sometimes elects not to use, in order to keep a production moving. I’ve seen him asleep propped up in order to keep a movie on schedule.)

And just the gentlest, sweetest person in the business. Today accidentally wound up as Me appreciation day on Twitter. It’s nice to appreciate Doug.

Late tonight a bunch of staff are playing a game called role call and if you thought fugitive was wild just w a i t until i tell you how this goes cause role call is absolutely terrifying

We aren’t letting the campers play it so that lets us up the scare factor by 147%

[ratbeast]

Ok so the game had to be pushed back a few days so we can figure out scheduling so heres the gist of it.

The more people you have for this game, the better. It has to happen at night. The people get into a straight line, and begin to walk in that line all around the area. They cannot turn around and look at each other, and cannot speak; with the exception of the person at the front of the line.

That persons job is to begin the role call. They simply say, “Role Call!” And their name, then each person down the line says their name in turn.

Here’s the kicker: there’s one person not included in the line. The Taker. They have the job of stealing away the person at the end of the line as silently as possible. The game’s sole purpose is to instill a sense of fear and paranoia in whoever is in front, because as more people get taken, there are less and less people to say their names during the Role Call.

The front person decides when they want to start the Role Call. Obviously, the more often it’s said, the less scary it is. But as more and more people disappear, they become Takers and can then do more damage than just the one.

Some Takers can replace the person they stole, making the person directly in front of them either incredibly paranoid or safe. At least until the Role Call. Takers cannot say anything during it, so it usually ends up more terrifying to know that the person behind you is silent. Again, everyone in the line cannot make a sound except responding to the Role Call.

The game is over when the person in front is taken. There is no winning, only waiting. Waiting for your turn to go. Imagine the fear that person in front has, when they softly announce “Role Call” only to find that everyone behind them is gone.

Not exactly a game for the weak willed.

How could you not have known you had DID? part 1

When I was little, I thought that the saying that ‘Cats have 9 lives’ meant that each cat had 9 different cats inside them, and that they took turns with the body.

Growing up with a lot of cats (a lot!), I began to try and map out the ‘personalities’ of my cats. A normally agressive cat wanted pets? Must have switched to the lovey cat. An older cat started playing like a kitten? A young cat personality must have come out.

I didn’t have names for them, but I thought of them as things like ‘the loud one’, ‘the scared one’, ‘the gentle one’, ‘the mean one’, ‘the happy one’, ect.

I thought, that must be why cats sleep so much, so they can change between the personalities. Short cat naps to ease the transition.

I worried that not every personality got to hear from me that I loved them, so I’d make sure to say it often, so everyone inside the cat would know.

This was normal to me. I didn’t tell anyone because I thought that everyone else knew it too.

Looking back it seems so obvious, but when I was little, I didn’t know about DID or alters or systems or mental illness. I just knew that it made perfect sense for each cat to have more than one cat inside of them.

The brain sees what it wants, and identifies with what it can.
