every single mega famous celebrity who asks the average person to donate to national tragedies (like the fires in australia) is tone deaf. my $5 donation won’t do shit compared to the million dollars you can drop without making a dent in ur bank account. either make a genuine effort to help or shut the fuck up 

[obliteratedfreak]

They can, like… Do both.

[meyhew]

they can but they shouldn’t. their excessive wealth is the solution, not my minimum wage salary that i can barely survive on. the richest 500 people in the world hoard more wealth than everyone on the planet combined; “the world’s 500 richest people added $1.2 trillion to their collective net worths in 2019” 

According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, it would cost $20 billion to end homelessness in the United States 

A price has been set and estimated by the United Nations to solve this crisis – $30 billion a year. It may seem like a large sum of money, but when compared to the U.S. defense budget – $737 billion in 2012 – $30 billion seems more attainable. ($30b per year until 2030 according to older projections)

Jeffrey Sachs, as one of the world’s leading experts on economic development and the fight against poverty, stated that the cost to end poverty is $175 billion per year for 20 years. This yearly amount is less than 1 percent of the combined income of the richest countries in the world. 

so miss me with filthy rich people putting pressure and passing on their responsibility onto poor people to save the world with money we need for our daily lives.

The nature of humanity is that every so often someone accidentally invents Shakespeare again

[prismatic-bell]

Okay, I think this started as a joke post, but it’s actually a pretty good AND CULTURALLY ACCURATE translation?

Like, we think of Shakespeare as highbrow because he’s old. He wasn’t highbrow. If you’re reading the play in book form and you haven’t found a dick joke on any given page yet you’re either reading a specific passage in Macbeth, or you need liner notes. This is in fact pretty much how it would be written today.

[theghostoftroubledjoe]

it’s actually not age and accident why we read Shakespeare as high brow, it was a purposeful reinterpretation of his plays by the Booth family (yeah, the one with the presidential assassin) in order to clean the image of theater as something high brow!

Edwin Booth (John Wilkes’ brother) wanted to turn theater into something that was seen as a high brow art form and could be enjoyed by wealthy high class patrons. He did this by acting Shakespeare more seriously and editing down the dick jokes. This made theatre more accessible to wealthy women (and subsequently more interesting to their wealthy husbands and fathers) because it was no longer too vulgar for women to see. 

Edwin pretty much single handedly changed theatre from something low brow for poor, goofy, rowdy actors and prostitutes, into something that would appeal to people who actually had money and influence. 

And I low-key hate him for it

[theghostoftroubledjoe]

hi i still use tumblr to vent shit that’s too long for twitter.

I always hated being called babe and honey and whatever, i hated petnames and i just figured out why. When your partner is being sweet and calls you a pet name or a nick name there comes a point where the only time they call you by your own name is when they’re mad or frustrated. and then all of a sudden you only associate your name with your partner being upset with you. and your name gets this horrible heartbreaking tint to it

even after you’ve said it, it’s still scary to say it again

“MY ARROGANCE KNOWS NO BOUNDS AND I WILL MAKE NO PEACE TODAY, AND YOU SHOULD BE SO LUCKY TO FIND A WOMAN LIKE ME” | Jenny Holzer, “Projections”

[klexquisite]

Important note : this is a projection by artist Jenny Holzer, but the text comes from a poem by Arab American writer Mohja Kahf, ’Ishtar Awakens in Chicago’. Holzer used Kahf’s work with her full agreement, I believe they’ve collaborated several times, but please check out the full context of the poem below.

My arrogance knows no bounds And I will make no peace today And you shall be so lucky To find a woman like me

Today neither will the East claim me nor the West admit me Today my belly is a well wherein serpents are coiled ready to poison the world, and you should be so lucky.

All I have is my arrogance I will teach it to lean back and smoke a cigarette in your faces, and you should be so lucky

No I will make no peace even though my hands are empty I will talk as big as I please I will be all or nothing And I will jump before the heavy trucks And I will saw off my leg at the thigh before I bend one womanly knee

I am poison And you will drink me And you should be so lucky.

Hot take but sign language should be taught in schools as a language option and all cinemas should provide subtitles on all their movie screenings
