This is my brand new tattoo called “Starry Night over the Gotham City” which was made by Dominika Gardocka i Skorpion Sosnowiec tattoo studio in Poland. This is our combined effort of Dominika’s talent and my post-modern brain and of course the Intetnet which was huge help and inspiration.
I’d like to dedicate it to all adults who don’t feel so grown up :)

But seriously though, what if all the dating websites’ algorithms are designed so that the connections we make will inevitably fail so we keep coming back to use them.

Like a loneliness industrial complex.

“

But the 8-hour workday is too profitable for big business, not because of the amount of work people get done in eight hours (the average office worker gets less than three hours of actual work done in 8 hours) but because it makes for such a purchase-happy public. Keeping free time scarce means people pay a lot more for convenience, gratification, and any other relief they can buy. It keeps them watching television, and its commercials. It keeps them unambitious outside of work.

We’ve been led into a culture that has been engineered to leave us tired, hungry for indulgence, willing to pay a lot for convenience and entertainment, and most importantly, vaguely dissatisfied with our lives so that we continue wanting things we don’t have. We buy so much because it always seems like something is still missing.

“To work outside of academia, even temporarily, signals you are not “serious” or “dedicated” to scholarship. It does not matter if you are simply too poor to stay: in academia, perseverance is redefined as the ability to suffer silently or to survive on family wealth. As a result, scholars adjunct in order to retain an institutional affiliation, while the institution offers them no respect in return.”

bad-dominicana:

everyone does not deserve your precious time, energy, presence, touch, body, intellect, overall being.

some people really need to do without you, coz they do not know how to or do not want to do you justice.

you giving them anything of yourself at all is like throwing diamonds and rubies at swine rolling in shit and mud. they will not care, they will not value or cherish you like you deserve to be,

they do not deserve you, period.

mirkwood:

Now imagine you’re an “objective” racist white scientist who decides to give a group of black men a STI and, instead of treating them for it, watch them slowly suffer from it so you can study it FOR SCIENCE.

Now imagine you’re the white supremacist sexist medical establishment that denies women the right to get their tubes tied unless they already have loads of kids and require them to get their husband’s permission while at the same time forcibly sterilising legions of native and black women.

Now imagine you’re an “objective” racist psychologist who decides that slaves wanting to escape is a psychological disorder called “drapetomania” and the “cure” for that is lashings and cutting off toes.

Now imagine that you’re the “objective” and “scientific” medical establishment that deems queerness a disorder and decides that electroshock treatments or lobotomies are the effective solution or feels the need to “intervene” by surgically altering the bodies of intersex infants to fit your perceptions of what genitalia should look like.

Religion has done a lot of fucked up shit. But I’m sick and tired of people acting like SCIENCE hasn’t been involved in wars, death, and genocide either. And it’s the assumptive bullshit notion that ALL religions are somehow stupid and not worth your consideration that perpetuates this colonialist bullshit approach that white people have now upon Native and other individuals when tribes fight for the right to their sacred lands of, “Oh you’re religion is just hooey!”

First they “civilised” us with religion and now it’s science and repatriation. Stealing native lands and native artefacts and native bodies FOR SCIENCE so you can profit off of them.

If you’re going to lay in on the death religion causes, IMO you better realise that there’s a difference between the bastion of white supremacist cisheteropatriarchy that is modern Christianity and other religions which have little in the way of social power in comparison. AND you better recognise that science can be just another extention of white supremacist cisheteropartiarchy too and FURTHER the goals of that power structure rather than being as “objective” as they claim and countering it.

Haha. Imagine that.

Also, Ricky Gervais is a jerk.

“When I came out I was not alone. A lot of Moroccan journalists and newspapers supported me. Journalists in Morocco are talking openly about homosexuality in a neutral sense, without condemning it. Six years ago they invented a word to say homosexual without any condemnation: mithly. Since the Arab Spring started, you have many websites coming from young gay people, who are not trying to emulate Western civilisation, but invent themselves as gay Arab activists. You now have five or six gay monthly magazines in Arabic.”

REBLOG if you think Tumblr needs to improve its message/fanmail system, with an Outbox, so you can keep track of what's been said in a conversation.
