Caring community
This is the kind of shit people did back in the Depression. When mortgage holds would try to sell a farm, everyone in the community showed up and strong armed any serious bidders away. They had the ‘penny auction’ tactic, where farmers would bid absurdly small amounts on farm equipment and land (while glaring intensely) until the auctioneer realized they needed to take what they were getting, or get their legs broken. This kind of stuff saved so many farms, they’d buy off 500+ dollar mortgages (which were huge amounts back then) for less than 100 dollars and give it back to the farm owners.
The lesson to take away is that only direct action and community organizing can help in such dire times.

my shit brain: i’m so bad at this, i just can’t do it-
me, a learning, growing human being whom believes in her own potential: yet bitch!!!!
you’ve been tricked by the education system into thinking that your worth is based on your ability to do the thing Right Now on the First Try, but here’s the big secret: everyone sucks at shit when they first try it, including the people who then get really good at shit. if little baby you had given up on talking because you fucked up on the first try, you wouldn’t know how to talk. and if your favorite singer/artist/whatever gave up because they fucked up on the first try, they wouldn’t have made that thing you love. so stop shitting on yourself for failing and get excited about learning a new skill instead! be bad at things!! have fun being bad at them!! that’s how you get better!!

I want to be this much of a bad ass when I’m 77 years old:
“I’m 77-and-a-half years old and I hate the destruction of democracy in this province,” this woman says while being escorted out by two security guards.”
Context:
‘Grandmothers’ handcuffed and detained as Doug Ford moves to suspend constitutional rights
Another photo (Chris Young/ Canadian Press):
Her name is Ester Reiter:
“Ester Reiter lived through discrimination as a Jew in Cold War America, marched to protest the Vietnam War with two babies in tow, and visited a mass grave in a southern Poland forest where her grandparents, aunts and uncles were likely murdered in the Holocaust.
When she woke up on Wednesday morning, the 77-year-old didn’t hesitate to stand up for what she says is another great injustice — the Ontario government passing legislation that a judge ruled violates the Constitution.
[…]
“How I honour my identity as a Jew is to get my ass out and protect everybody, to protect the rights and freedoms of everybody and really try to struggle against any injustice,” she said.”
‘You can’t let them get away with these dirty deeds,’ says protester removed from Queen’s Park Wednesday

Dear college bound friends,
Please do not start your essay with “Music has always been a big part of my life.” I get it. It’s the start of every. single, fricken, essay. And I know I probably made the same mistakes when I was writing mine.
Love,
A College Admissions Counselor
Can I start it with “dude bro. Music is the bomb digity.” ?
Honestly, you wouldn’t be the first person. I had a student start an essay with “Ball is life” and they got a scholarship so…
I am incredibly curious as to why a college admissions officer has a tumblr
Shouldn’t we be worried that a college admission officer HAS a tumblr??

HOLY FUCKSHIT
I WANT IT
dude that’s only 299 dollarsfor 299 dollars you could make ur living room the SICKEST living room anyone has ever been in, or will ever be in, in their ENTIRE GODDAMN LIVES
My DM wants our group to pitch in like $50 to get this thing for our game nights.
It also has a built in fog machine as well, in case you were unsure still.
It’s available at Home Depot right now btw
Good idea?
BEST idea.
Please remember to properly vent, fog machines indoors can be dangerous for people with breathing issues.
Other than that … HELL YEAH GET THAT SICK ASS DRAGON!
Delicious. Finally some good fucking home improvement.
If you want to get a 19 inch version that’s equally perfect for D&D (or just want to decorate your home with badass dragons), Home Depot sells the red one AND a blue one in-store too
They don’t breath smoke, but they DO have LED lights included
(They also have a green 19 inch dragon but that seems to be an online only exclusive 😭😭😭)
ooooooh
@demonbones I WANT IT
