someone: so what do you think is the solution to homelessness?
me, socialist:
Let homeless people occupy peopleless homes, build houses for use rather than exchange, 3D print comfortable houses in a day, convert corporate skyscrapers into housing and commercial malls into publicly-accessible community centers with living commons and entertainment
When you say it to people and they break
“But the money? … we can’t just? But, Money? We can’t just… help… people? Can we? The Money. We can’t just help people? Like that? We can’t just? Money?”
my absolute favorite part of tumblr is how much you guys hate symbolism and like to pretend english teachers made up symbolism and authors never intended to write it. symbolism is what saves books from being boring and lifeless. i need you guys to understand how lazy and childish you look when you complain about having to find symbolism in books made for finding symbolism
Lmao Im a writer and fuck writing symbolism. Its all accidental
everyone is too busy looking at old dusty european paintings to see all the real art around them, like a stick falling from a tree or a squirrel and a rabbit fighting by the sewer drain
This is very meaningful, actually…
why you say actually? everything you say is meaningful if you have a lot of followers
I disagree with what you are saying. Art is the imitation of life, bringing to us concepts and things we might not otherwise experience. It’s why photography is considered an art form alongside painting; it’s a visual medium that translates real-life subjects to us or transmutes ideas and thoughts, also a part of our daily lives.
that’s such a poor definition of art. you’re saying a stick falling from a tree isn’t art because it doesn’t procure any ideas or thoughts? literally everything is capable of producing thought. you are wrong and i hope you never get to enjoy a squirrel and rabbit sewer fight since you obviously don’t appreciate it
‘Jesus’ comes from a shortening of the Hebrew version of the name Joshua, while ‘Christ’ simply means ‘the anointed one.’ To make this clearer to modern Christians, I propose a new Bible translation where Jesus is referred to only as “oily Josh”
There’s something really unsavory about oily Josh and his 12 teenage friends.
