good thing i listen to exactly one song with explicit lyrics every day
I’ve been saying this for a while but Startup Bro is the new and terrifying lovechild of the brogrammer and the business major and he is somehow even more self-centered and bigoted than either of them
No, no, guys, look closely.
This house is looking for extremely physically fit young men (No drugs, no makeup, no special diet, exercise 15 hrs a week) who are passive and docile (no protests, no music lyrics with swears) who, most of all, will not be missed if they disappear(very little social media presence, not rich enough to own expensive luxury items, no need to constantly be in contact with their parents over bills/gifts, few identifying markings like tattoos)
No pause or go back options, no having to wait for reruns in the summer or shows going syndication to watch old episodes, no trying to tape a show on a vcr and praying no one changes the channels messing it up. Kids are lucky.
my mom and i used to take the phone off the hook every tuesday night from 8pm - 10pm so we could watch buffy and angel in peace.
Don’t sleep on the fact that Miles Morales is a biracial African American AND Hispanic Boy
Don’t sleep on the fact that Miles has two supportive Black Males in his life before Peter B. Parker shows up, that are there for him and wants to help him find what he wants to be in life and believes this boy can do great things
Don’t sleep on the fact that he’s also got an Amazing supportive Hispanic Mother who knows when her son needs a breather from whatever stress he’s going through and doesn’t push
Don’t sleep on the fact that Miles has two supportive parents who only want what’s best for him and is willing to give him the space when he needs it and will be there when he’s ready
(It may not seem like a big deal but most kids can’t even get THAT)
Oh yeah and his Dad’s a Police Officer and Moms a Nurse(I just LOVED that)
Don’t sleep on the fact that Miles Morales is fluent in Spanish too and is a loved member in his little community of Brooklyn that’s blooming with all races
Don’t sleep on the fact that Miles didn’t win some “lottery” to get into that private school, he ACED the entrance exams AND purposely tried to flunk tests by picking nothing but wrong answers because he KNEW the right answers so he could go back to the school with his community
Don’t sleep on the fact that this boy was able to do what he didn’t even know was possible when the time was right because he just knew
Don’t sleep on the fact that what makes Spider-Man so Amazing and important was that his mask let everyone think that it was possible that it could be someone like them under that mask
Don’t sleep on the fact that everyone can do Amazing things like Spider-Man like our boy Miles even you
to be able to tip a thousand dollars to a stressed server at a restaurant
to give really good gifts for birthdays that arent just gift cards
to be able to actually afford my real sense of style
to pay my mom’s bills and debts
reasons i dont want to be rich
to hoard the entire fucking planet’s resources and kill off the world’s population slowly
Ugh but imagine. Just freaking imagine. Walking around. Finding someone on a corner with a cardboard sign asking for help. Sauntering up, reaching into your pocket and casually handing them a fistful of $100 dollar bills. Imagine.
Rich people could do that. They just…could. They have a literal superpower. They could make sure someone doesn’t sleep in the cold tonight. They could make sure someone gets the medical treatment that could save their life. They could wander into a collections agency and buy up the contracts and spend all day calling people and telling them their debt has been forgiven. They could wander into a hospital and pay off all the outstanding bills, or wander into a bank and pay off someone’s mortgage.
If they really wanted to, rich people could be superheroes.
But they don’t. They would rather watch a now so-big-it’s-meaningless number tic up in their offshore accounts while the world starves and dies around them because…winning?
i’d hate to be a high schooler in this day and age. i see young ass girls on youtube doing “grwm freshman year” full beat 28 inch wigs and its like……. when i was in high school you’d be lucky if we didnt show up in our pajamas. maybe a lil mascara here n there. idk i just feel bad that there’s so much sexual pressure on these younger girls because of social media
I dont even feel bad because its all a choice tbh
im not gonna jump on you for this response because you’re only 19 but you saying that young girls being forced to conform to societal standards is a “choice” aint it chief. nobody chooses to be negatively impacted by sexism and the male gaze it just kind of happens. it’s insidious. and definitely not by choice
