it’s so crazy having a follower base on tumblr knowing full well it’s not based on selfies or anything like people are here for your crazy twisted mind. i feel like nietzsche

things that are true:

1. ICE has always been terrible. the INS was terrible before them. "chinga la migra" was a slogan before ICE even existed. Reagan was deporting Guatemalans back into a genocide so he could keep funding that genocide in the 1980s. there is nothing new under the sun.

2. What we are seeing now is a massive escalation in scale and tactics. There used to be rules against immigration enforcement going into schools, hospitals, or places of worship. People didn't used to get detained AT THEIR LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. ICE did not pull over anyone who isn't white, drag them out of their cars, and ship them out of state before anyone knew they'd been detained. INS agents never outnumbered regular police officers, in any city. And no, DHS agents weren't shooting white people in the streets for no reason beyond "they weren't deferential enough and we got mad."

3. A lot of people have cared about immigration and about their immigrant neighbors for a long time. The size of the response has escalated as the scale of the repression has escalated. This is how things work.

4. so no, this isn't a case of nobody cared until white people got killed. Ask Chicago, Charlotte, LA. Ask the people in my hometown in Indiana who have been organizing for years to help their immigrant neighbors get city IDs and rides to legal appointments and who are caring for the children of people in detention.

5. sure, the NRA only got worried when a legally armed white man got killed. Did you expect anything different?

One of my favorite things about Pride and Prejudice is the Bennet family’s complete cluelessness about Darcy and Elizabeth. Like, if this were a tv show about the Bennets, Darcy and Elizabeth are like, the D storyline. The whole family is trying to get Jane and Bingley together, the regiment is stationed in Meryton, Mr. Collins is taking the house, Lydia and Wickham are obviously the climax, these people have a lot going on. And then, once the regiment has left and Jane and Lydia and Mr. Collins are married and everything seems resolved: plot twist! They’ve got random nobility at the door in the middle of the night telling the know-it-all sister who has been home on and off through the year not to marry the rando rich guy they all hate simply because they’re family and loyal to each other damnit and he called the know-it-all sister ugly once. 

And then, of course, they all find out Lizzy and Darcy are actually very in love and literally all of the good things that have happened to them this year are a direct consequence of Darcy loving Lizzy lolol.

not to be art snob guy but everyone knows that the Mona Lisa isn't the most valuable painting in the world cause he painted the woman so "beautiful" right. Like I just saw someone compare another painting (that was good!) but go this one should be celebrated as much as the Mona Lisa, look how beautiful it is- okay you know that's not why tho right.

Da Vinci stepped into a realm of anatomy and technique that no-one had ever done before. He Mastered light in a time where they were just painting the background and the subject the exact same focus.

What we understand about aperture, perspective, the human eye- Da Vinci was utilising before the scientific community even knew what a retina did. Do you understand how Crazy that is.

He invented a 3D stereoscopic picture in the 1500s. It would take two more centuries before physicists even arrived at the concept of stereography.

Do you understand how much math that is. A lot of fucking math man.

And I'm not even talking about colour or texture rn!!! He did it so we can't see the brushstrokes! It would require x-rays to view the work he did.

I just know sometimes people go oh why's this painting so special- it's very important to me that you know that the Mona Lisa was like an Atomic Bomb on the Renaissance art community. Almost EVERY piece of art you view today you could track it's influence back to what da Vinci did.

Like other art deserves its time in the spotlight, of course, but you know we didn't all gather around one day and go this lady is the prettiest this painting shall now be the Best. It's the most valuable painting in the world because..,. Well because it's the most valuable painting in the world.

You show up for your first day at Copyright-Free Magic School. As you're going through orientation, you're informed that all new students get a school-assigned familiar that they are responsible for housing and maintaining. The staff member assures you that your assigned familiar is appropriately chosen and reflects you in some way.

Spin this to find out yours. (Remember, you are responsible for maintaining this familiar in your dorm room.)

What's your reaction to what you received?

Oh, hell yeah!

Pretty nice

I can work with this

Not what I would have picked, but okay

Ugh. Ugh. ...Ugh.

How does this reflect me?!

...........I'm supposed to keep this in my dorm room?

No but the Hunger Games really said "what do you hate more- the atrocities or the people who commit them against you? Because like it or not there IS a difference. If you hate the people who commit acts of pure evil more than you hate the acts themselves, what will stop you from becoming just like your enemies in your pursuit of justice? What will keep you from commiting those very same acts against THEM when the opportunity arises? And what then? The cycle of pain and suffering will never stop. Round and round it'll go. Nothing will ever change. But. BUT. If you hate the atrocities. If you hate the vile, senseless acts MORE than you hate the people who did them to you. If you are able to see that evil is evil regardless of who does it... The cycle ends with you. No, you may never get justice. But you will never be responsible for making others, even your enemies, suffer the same crimes you have. The atrocities will never be committed by you, never by your hand. And that's the way you change the world. It's the ONLY way" and that's why I am sure it will never stop being one of the most relevant works of fiction ever created
