…up to 200,000 people angry with high costs and poor public services took to the streets. Protesters in Rio de Janeiro burned cars and looted buildings as police attempted to disperse them with teargas and rubber bullets. Aerial images showed thousands of people attempting to storm the congress building in Brasilia. The rallies…are some of the biggest ever seen in the country…

my friend just made the typo ‘the walking dad’ and like

just a dad walking across a lonely deserted landscape, the ground cracked and sandy from drought. he tucks his pipe into the chest pocket of his red flannel shirt. ‘son,’ he says. ‘how was school.’ but there is no one else around. he continues walking. the walking dad.

The amazing thing about the Toy Story trilogy is the fact that they waited 10 years to conclude the story, so that a story about nostalgia made you feel nostalgic towards the original content.

society: oh you have your period? well you have two options.

society: oh you have your period? well you have two options.
woman: okay.
society: you can use sanitary pads, which make you feel like you are wearing a diaper, and have the added fun benefit of being extremely uncomfortable and give you the extreme paranoia that they will not be enough coverage and at any moment with any movement or sudden sneeze you'll bleed over onto your clothes and walk around all day with blood stained trousers while everyone points and laughs at you.
woman: sounds awful. what's my second option.
society: a penis shaped wad of cotton that you shove uncomfortably inside yourself and it catches the blood before it leaves your body.
woman: still seems pretty awful.
society: wait! it gets better! there's the outside chance that using those will kill you!
woman: well, are they at least free? like how men can have access to free condoms? i mean, it's not like i'm choosing for this to happen.
society: HAHAHA! that's funny. no, you have to pay for them. and they're really fucking expensive.
woman:
society: oh, and if you tell anyone that you ARE on your period, your judgement, opinions, and reactions are going to be dismissed as the crazy ramblings of a lunatic.
woman:
society:
woman: i think i'll go with my third option.
society:
woman:
society: what third option?
woman: i think i'll bleed on everything you love.

confessionsofthebjdkind:

I feel the same way about recasts as I do about people who smoke - people still pick up the habit even though it’s known to be harmful (each in their own way). I’m not going hound a friend or cut them out of my life because of it, but I’m not going to pretend that I don’t disagree; I’m concerned and I really hope they stop. Until then, please don’t light up around me.

I traveled for one month around California and I swear I saw the most breathtaking landscapes. It was a great experience to explorer new places, to try the local food and to meet new people. I got lucky enough to grab a few stills and I’m still working on a video.

Mother of god. My mom was trying to take a picture of our christmas tree. Being the troll I am, I kept photobombing. She had me sit down to stop and I threw my phone, knowing it’d never work. It worked. We have a picture of our christmas tree with a flying phone

You guys thought I was kidding…

So you can be proud of being black, hispanic, or asian, but you can’t be proud to be white? Wtf is wrong with society?

white people are behind the worst genocides in history what your sus ass got to be proud of? the invention of graham crackers?

idk pretty sure we invented toilets or something

bitch we invented the soap to clean your filthy asses dont talk shit

Jessusssssssssss

Actually, white people invented the following;

Geography
Telescope
Microscope
Automobile
Television
Electricity
Aircrafts
Computers
The Piano
Electric Engineering
Telephone
Theory of Evolution
The Wormhole
First one’s in Space
First one’s on the Moon
Banks/Banking
The theory of Natural Selection
Theatre
Pencil
The Jet Engine
The discovery of DNA
The discovery of the Atom
The discovery of Cells
The Camera
US Constitution
Democracy
Republic

And yes, a white person did happen to invent the graham cracker.

If you want to cling to every invention that white people are responsible for throughout history as if it’s some sort of accomplishment of your own, then you should also accept responsibility for all the disgusting things that white people have done, correct? You can’t just claim the things that make you look good and disregard the history that makes you look bad. Take it all or leave it all.

Geography- The oldest known world maps date back to Islam in the 9th Century B.C.

Automobile- automobiles were base on chariots created by the Indo-Iranians.

Electricity- Nobody invented electricity, pendejo estupido. Electricity is a natural phenomena.

Computers- Computers were based on the abacus, created by the ancient Sumerians.

The Piano- The piano is based on string instruments created in ancient Mesopotamia.

The Wormhole- Einstein discovered this, and given that Einstein was a dedicate member of the NAACP and called racism America’s “worst disease”, I’m sure that he would not appreciate you using his discoveries to promote white supremacy.

Theatre- The earliest recorded theatrical event dates back to 2000 BCE with the “passion plays” of Ancient Egypt.

The Jet Engine- This is based on rockets invented by the Chinese in the 13th Century

The Discovery of the Atom- Atomism dates back to India during the 6th Century BCE

The Camera- Photographic cameras were a development of the Camera Obscura, a device dating back to the ancient Chinese.

The U.S. Constitution- The earliest known code of law dates back to the ancient Mesopotamians. The American Constitution is based on the Iroquois “Great Code of Peace”. And given that the original U.S. Constitution was used to enslave and murder thousands of people, maybe you shouldn’t be so proud of it.

Democracy- Based on the Sanghas of India during the 6th Century BCE

Republics- See above.

Nice try, white person. Practically everything you guys invented comes from PoC
