I've been closely following (read: checking the tag on Tumblr) the story about the guy who shot the CEO of a health insurance company and I have to say, from the point of view of someone who lives in a country where universal health services are provided by the government free of cost since before I was born... the reaction I'm seeing is a relief. Americans really need to get angrier about this shit. Everytime I read a story about someone begging others to not call an ambulance because this could bankrupt them and their children, I get shivers down my spine. The only people surprised by the joyful reaction this assassination has been getting are the people very likely to be targets of the next assassination. Stay mad!

anybody else feel that being human is like being a long-time syndicated cartoon character watching the world get more complex while your own design stays the same until youre incongruous with the reality around you??

Okay, so, friends. Occasionally I see an American post on here about “guillotine the rich,” and it turns out that “rich” means “anyone making over $50k.”
We need to clear this shit up REAL fast, because otherwise it’s gonna wind up like the French Revolution, where more middle class and poor people were killed for being “class traitors” than actual nobles. (Did you know that France has more nobles today than during the French Revolution? While there were a few showy executions, many nobles did just fine or experienced minor setbacks.)
If someone makes $60,000 a year, they are making about twice as much as a full time worker making minimum wage in California, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, DC, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, or Washington State.
Brian Thompson, the CEO of United HealthCare who was just assassinated in New York City, earned $10 million a year, which means he earned 333 times minimum wage in those states. Basically, he cleared an annual minimum wage salary in just over a day. And that “rich” person making $60k/year that you want to guillotine? He made their salary in a bit over two days of a year.
So he was rich, right?
Well. Tesla is trying to give Elon Musk a pay package of $101 billion. That is 10,100 times what Brian Thompson earned and 3,366,667 times more than a minimum wage worker. (Tesla hasn’t been successful yet because of a complicated lawsuit from a shareholder, but they’ll get there.) If you are a minimum wage worker, Elon Musk makes more every SECOND than you do in a year. And that “rich” person who you want to guillotine? He makes their salary in about 1.6 seconds. Even when he’s sleeping.
Now, remember. The Muskrat also is the head of SpaceX, the Boring Company, X.ai, and X.com, so this is just ONE pay package for him.
What I’m saying is — you have much more in common when it comes to economic grievances with someone earning $60,000 (or even $200,000) than the ultra wealthy that have real power. They are not the people you should expend your energy on.

I will never understand the hate for grey hairs. Your hair has sliver in it now. You have the color of stars on your hair. You have proof you survived and grew up. You have proof you are living. How is any of this bad?

The way this frame hit me in chapter 11.
In the first episode, we have the same scene, but from Momo's perspective. To Momo, Okarun is nobody. Just a boy she sees in trouble and whom she decides to help. His eyes are not reflected until he attacks her in the hallway and she screams at him.
It seems like he's just surprised or distracted. But in 11…
Oh, fuck!
He is shocked and can't look away from her. He can't believe that someone stepped in, helped him, and cared about him.

everyone’s acting like dipper pines would grow up to be some badass monster hunter but we’re all forgetting that he’d definitely study animation and go on to create a fan-favorite cartoon on disney channel based on his childhood summer vacations, featuring his and mabel’s self insert characters alex and ariel hirsch
