The-myths-of-jazz - Just Existing

hmm don’t know how to address this but i looked it up and apparently Richard Phillips, the 72-year-old black man recently released from prison after serving 45 years for murder he didn’t commit, is being forced to sell his art, rather than willingly selling it, since the justice system is refusing to pay him anything. there’s a post going around saying he’s showcasing his art and we should support him by purchasing it, but i think it’s an important distinction that he doesn’t want to part from the art that he made in prison. parting permanently from art you’ve made can be difficult, and considering the emotional value of the art he made in order to cope with his situation, it’s cruel to take it away from him rather than to just donate money. also there’s like this weird fetishization of his “prison art” in the media that is frankly disgusting, like ogling his pain and suffering and making it into some sort of spectacle. i scoured twitter for a donation page but i couldn’t find anything yet

Tis that very lit time of year…..

I HATE the phrase “give 110%!” cuz like thats not mathematically possible. 100% is all I have. If I exceed your expectations then you have simply underestimated me

Mods are asleep post forbidden tits

“Particularly prone to serious procrastination problems are children who grew up with unusually high expectations placed on them…or else they exhibited exceptional talents early on, and thereafter “average” performances were met with concern and suspicion from parents and teachers.”

Holy SHIT

PETA

you guys remember when PETA stole people pets off their porches and euthanized them?

you guys remember how it came out that PETA kills about 90% of the animals it takes in, including healthy and adoptable puppies and kittens, stating “ We could become a no-kill shelter immediately. It means we wouldn’t do as much work”?

you guys remember when PETA advocated killing all pit bulls for the crime of being pit bulls?

you guys remember when PETA handed out these comics to children when there were no adults looking?

you guys remember when they made a porn site and then filled it with videos of animal abuse, and (also in that link) claimed cats should be vegetarian?

you guys remember when PETA lied about sheep shearing, got caught, and defended the lie as true even after they admitted the sheep in their picture wasn’t even real?

you guys remember when they tried to excuse their horrifying ways by claiming that the person who exposed them was manipulating the facts by taking them and putting them in the wrong context?

Because I remember. I remember everything. 

And I’m gonna make sure everyone else remembers too. 

Just an experiment. Reblog if you actually give a fuck about male victims of domestic violence and rape.

Of fucking course

What sick bastard doesn’t

hi this post about “rich elites” drinking the blood of teenagers to stay youthful is completely fucking made up and is a blatantly antisemitic dogwhistle.

it’s an intersection of “blood libel”, the referencing of nameless, mysterious ‘elites’, (read: the new world order, a “shadowy group of jews”) and the implication that jewish people are inhuman. for more specification/examples of antisemitic dogwhistles check this and other sources, and please be aware of this when you consume your media.

non-jews are encouraged to reblog!!!!
