And Honestly, Same.

I don’t understand why people don’t wear motorcycle helmets. Genuinely.

Bicycle helmets? I understand why you wouldn’t wear one. It’s incredibly important to wear one, of course, but…

…I won’t blame anybody for not wearing one, though. I mean, look at it. It looks dorky as hell. I would also like to minimize my time wearing one.

But motorcycle helmets? MOTORCYCLE HELMETS?

Literally the coolest fucking accessory a human being can wear???

They make you look wicked. Kick-ass. Like a laser-shooting robot from the year 3000. It replaces your ugly mug with the sexiest face known to man: the tinted plastic visor.

I would wear one OFF the motorcycle. I would pay ACTUAL MONEY to have my head permanently transmogrified into a motorcycle helmet.

how on GOD’S GREEN EARTH can you participate in an activity where it is both socially acceptable and highly recommended to wear some SICK FUCKING SHIT and make the conscious decision to say “nah I’ll pass”??????

Seeing the notes on posts about the Burning Man Debacle™ and for fucks sake I am taking the phrase 'eat the rich' away from y'all until you can CORRECTLY IDENTIFY the rich

Rich is 'arrived by way of their private jet', is 'dropped $500k on a submarine ticket', is '$500 is a rounding error'.

'$500 dollars for a nine day event they must all be rich white people' no you reactionary rotten potato that is actually an entirely reasonable price for an entirely normal person to pay for an annual event! $500 over the course of a year is approximately equivalent to one big takeout a month! Being able to afford that doesn't make you rich it makes you probably not poor! The 'rich or poor' narrative is a false dichotomy that completely excludes the fact that 'richness' or 'poorness' is a SCALE! It's not fucking categorical! You don't one day magically flip a switch and go from 'poor' to 'rich' or vice versa you see incremental changes over time! Wealth distribution is a (these days, admittedly, rather wonky) motherfucking BELL CURVE! . The fact that capitalism is driving more and more people to either extreme of said curve is just evidence of a broken system, but it doesn't change the fact that most people should have a decent amount of disposable income!

The fact that many people don't have said disposable income doesn't magically make the ones that do 'rich' it makes everyone else poor. And the people at fault for the massive and growing percentage of people living below the poverty line are not the ones managing to stay above it, it's the fault of the actually rich, the ones stealing our time and our health and our wages and our future in pursuit of a number on a screen. And the rich are the only people you're helping by hating the people struggling slightly less than you.

When it comes time to 'eat the rich' you're going to be murdering dentists and librarians and scientists while the actually rich point and laugh from a safe distance as you solve their problems for them.

"For a moment or two I could see nothing, as the shadow of a cloud obscured St. Mary’s Church and all around it. Then as the cloud passed I could see the ruins of the abbey coming into view; and as the edge of a narrow band of light as sharp as a sword-cut moved along, the church and the churchyard became gradually visible. Whatever my expectation was, it was not disappointed, for there, on our favourite seat, the silver light of the moon struck a half-reclining figure, snowy white."

Mina and Lucy in the kirkyard at Whitby, August 11th.

me, looking at medieval drawings of non-european animals, drawn based on nothing but written descriptions: lmao how obvious is it that whoever fucking drew this had never actually seen an elephant. Why does it look like a dog. me, trying to find references to ancient Roman clothing, and only finding written descriptions of them: Forgive my former hurbis, you who passed this path before me. I had not yet stood where you once stood. How foolish was I then, to mock your blindness and stumbling on your way, when I should have envied the bravery in which you stepped into the dark unknown.
