A Genie offers you one wish, and you modestly wish to have a very productive 2017. The genie misunderstands, and for the rest of your life, every 20:17 you become impossibly productive for just 60 seconds.

some of you never got your lips stuck in a gate ten days after you turned 8 and your friends all laughed and you just stood there until the fire department came and broke the lock with a crowbar and you had to spend the next six weeks in lip rehab with this kid named oscar who got stung by a bee right on the lip and you couldn’t even talk to each other until the fifth week because both your lips were so swollen and when he did start speaking he just spoke polish and you only knew like three words in polish except now you know four because oscar taught you the word for lip, “usta”

and it shows

Beetles compromise 25% of all animal species. That means 1 in 4 animals is probably a beetle. Is it you? Is it your best friend? How can you be sure?

I firmly believe that not only should we raise the minimum wage, but we should also create a maximum wage. There is no reason in which an orthopedic surgeon, which is the highest paying doctor will make an average of $464,500 a year, while the top 10 CEOs earn well over $33 BILLION a year. If we even so much as cap their earning potential at $1 billion, which is more money than anyone should really need to live a happy fulfilling lifestyle, then it would force them to put that money toward the company or be punished. This means giving their employees better health insurance, giving them more vacations, better wages, paying for their college or their children’s education, creating more jobs, and improving the functionality of their companies. Perhaps even force them to invest in the communities they are serving. 

For those of you who are still skeptical… let me put it this way… the highest earning CEO “earned” $156,077,912 in 2014. Let’s boil this down. There’s about 52 weeks in a year. Let’s say that he works 40 hours a week. So a total of 2,080 hours a year. That’s $75,037 an hour. The median HOUSEHOLD income in the US is $50,502 per year. He’s earning 1.5 times the amount per hour than the average household makes in a year. That disparity is absurd. To put that even further into perspective, the average NEUROLOGIST earns $219,000 a year according to a 2014 statistic. Every single one of the CEOs on the 100 highest paid CEOs earn at least 93 TIMES the amount that a NEUROLOGIST makes. 

Something needs to change. People shouldn’t be starving for the sake of someone else’s greed.

not to Discourse but if people stopped pretending attraction can be evenly split into sexual and romantic attraction for once instead of accepting that it works and feels differently for everyone maybe they would realize that you can be attracted to someone without wanting to have sex with them right now this second, or ever, and we could all stop pathologizing and micromanaging the particulars of our sexual orientation (the term deriving from sex as a word for gender at the time it was created, not sex as the act) and come to the collective understanding that the labels gay/bi/lesbian/straight on their own already include every single possible relationship to sex you could ever possibly have and absolutely no qualifiers, ace/demi or otherwise, are needed, because attraction as a concept encompasses more than just the urge to have sex with another person

it’d be also super neat if we could stop pretending that it’s somehow more inclusive or easier for people with a fraught relationship to sex to split sexual orientation into Ace and Non-Ace as if it’s any help at all to shove e.g. lesbians who struggle with the sexual aspect of lesbian identification off into their own restricted zone away from Normal Lesbianism that requires a special prefix before lesbian, instead of normalizing a definition of lesbian that includes any and all ways people might feel about sex and that their way of feeling attraction is just as much a normal part of lesbianism as anyone else’s, no qualifiers needed

the idea of a split romantic and sexual orientation is an unhealthy, pathologizing way of looking at sexual orientations that’s just gonna end up alienating people who feel lost in mainstream depictions of sexuality even more and i am done with pretending that i am okay with that kind of rhetoric being spread

5th richest person on the entire fucking planet wants you to give him more money

he’s a little out of pocket right now after suing a bunch of people in Hawaii to force them to sell their land on the cheap so he can have his 700-acre $100,000,000 playground to himself
