In all seriousness if Yahoo’s acquisition of Tumblr actually brings in a huge of flood of new users what will actually happen is that the ratio of people who wordlessly reblog cool photos to people who slap stupid gifs of Jared Padalecki being a bad actor on every single damn thing will tip back in a favourable direction and that’s why I’m welcoming Yahoo’s acquisition of Tumblr with open arms like an unholy swarm of ravenous locusts systematically stripping the meat from my bones
❝ Today ‘human rights’ is much in fashion, which makes it the subject of a certain amount of humbug. In a world where virtue is no longer its own reward, there are plenty of human rights prizes, many funded by corporation exposed for exploiting the poor, awarded to well-paid lawyers, well-meaning journalists, well-photographed actresses and politicians who have never had to risk their careers in a cause perceived by national authorities as subversive. Ironies abound: the Simon Wiesenthal Center, celebrated for tracking down Nazi war criminals, today gives its peace prizes to supporters of the government of Israel. Self-promoting pop stars are prepared to promote politicians if they support the right to debt relief, but not the anti-war and anti-corruption measures without which there can be no relief for the poor in countries bankrupted by armed conflicts and the extravagance of their rulers. In 2005, the ‘Live 8’ campaign to ‘make poverty history’ made no mention of ending the impunity which in Africa makes poverty inevitable. It would be churlish to decry the fashionability of human rights, but premature to think that this means the struggle to have them enforced - the crucial ‘third phase’ of the human rights revolution - has yet been won.

imagine someone telling you theyve masturbated to you like how flattering would that be

tsarcasm:
if you killed yourself, imagine all the people who would pretend they ever gave a single flying fuck about you
imagine all the useless fake shit they would say about how close they were to you and how upset they are that you’re gone
when in reality they probably couldn’t state 3 facts about you
a good reason to not even do it
This is terrible, but it’s true.

this is really selfish but
why can’t mental illness be like any other kind of sickness where you go to hospital and your loved ones come and give you flowers and tell you that they love you and hold your hand and make sure you get better
why doesn’t that happen instead of awkward silences and embarrassing tears and messy bedsheets and a bunch of other stuff no one actually talks about
w h y
I can’t find a single selfish thing in that.
