Why are the notes of this post insane

[monidon]

Don't mind me. Just walking to the park

[monidon]

Still walkin

[monidon]

This is a long walk, but don't worry. I will get there

[monidon]

Had to chase some nosey pokémon away. Don't worry. The journey continues

[monidon]

I found mud

[monidon]

Can it be?

[monidon]

At last

[monidon]

My journey has come to an end. Thank you for joining me here at the end of all things

goodbye

Sylvia Plath reads her poem titled: “November Graveyard" (x)

At the essential landscape stare, stare Till your eyes foist a vision dazzling on the wind: Whatever lost ghosts flare, Damned, howling in their shrouds across the moor Rave on the leash of the starving mind Which peoples the bare room, the blank, untenanted air.

Mark Rothko, Untitled, 1969, Synthetic polymer paint and ink on paper, 40 ½ x 26 ½" (102.2 x 67.4 cm)

Here’s a dark look at this painting . My sense is  it’s not more accurate exactly but more of a lighting issue. Still, how many Rothkos are dark in appearance and under bright like reveal layers of color? I enjoy seeing them both ways.

Bloomberg reported yesterday that if Sen. Sanders implemented his highly progressive tax plan, billionaires could face an effective tax rate of up to 97.5%. This will be met with complete apoplexy amongst the ruling-class, but, apart from the fact that it is entirely correct that governments use punitive tax regimes to discourage socially destructive behaviour such as ruthless exploitation and wealth hoarding, let’s put it in perspective.

If Jeff Bezos was hit by a 97.5% wealth tax, he would still be a billionaire. His fortune currently stands at roughly $108,200,000,000. After a Sanders wealth tax, he would still sit atop a hoard of almost $3.75bn. The tax from he alone would enable the federal government to wipe the debt of a million students (c. $50bn), to train half a million new grad nurses (c. $25bn), to pay the entire education budget of the five lowest spending states for a year (Utah + Idaho + Arizona + Oklahoma + Mississippi = c. $24bn) - and still, still have enough spare change to double federal spending on energy efficiency and renewable energy ($4bn).

And that’s just one big fish.

Put in that sort of context there is simply no moral justification for any individual to have the private enjoyment of the sort of wealth that could seriously adjust the social outcomes of a entire nation’s working-class.

Pitchforks are an extremely moderate and conservative reaction.

During the 1980s, more gay men died in New York City during the AIDS crisis than all recorded deaths of American soldiers in Vietnam. You need to know that.

[mundanemelusina]

448,060 vs 58,220 btw

[heroofthreefaces]

That’s a goddam order of magnitude

[tigerleggies-deactivated2019121]

Reality: The AIDS epidemic resulted in far more American deaths than the Vietnam War.

Public school: THE VIETNAM WAR WAS A MASSIVE TRAGEDY (& sometimes the gays get sick and die)
