anyway jeff bezos could eradicate homelessness. he could literally give each homeless person 100k and it would only take less than .5% of his entire wealth. what the actual god giving fuck
Why do you think they deserve it
Well shelter is a basic need, and would at the very least allow them a place where they can get back on their feet. Food water and shelter are necessary for a healthy body and psychology. There’s also the fact that they’re people too, and a little help goes a long way in making a decent community. There’s plenty of reasons
Yeah they need stuff, but why does every homeless person deserve 0.5% of someone’s income
You have five hundred apples, and just one day to eat them all.
You pass by a small crowd of hungry children, and decide you’d rather 455 apples go rotten than give them to some snotty brat who isn’t your problem.
It doesn’t matter how hard you’ve worked for your 500 apples, or that you aren’t the parent of any of those kids. in the moment you decide to walk away, it doesn’t matter why they’re hungry, or who owes who what.
You had the opportunity to help people, you had the ability to help people, you had the resources to help people. You had everything you needed to make a small, tiny little difference in someone’s life, and you decided not to.
What are you going to buy in your lifetime that’s worth more to you than your own humanity?

Reblogging for the very, very important lesson
Sometimes I wish there were a Hell if only for the visuals of a bunch of rich shit heads wandering around on fire asking “Where’s my money?!”
If you’re reading this: this is your sign that your WIP is worth writing, is worth the effort, and that you are doing great. Keep going, take breaks, reflect. But do not lose sight of how far you’ve come on this project! You can do it!
We all know that Sebastian likes to watch people going about their daily lives.
He likes to watch people eat, to see how many times they chew before they swallow.
He likes to watch people under his guard sleep. He says it’s because it’s his duty to protect them from nightmares, but actually it’s because souls smell so much sweeter when the vessel is vulnerable.
He’d always watch you more closely than everyone else because you are, for all intents and purposes, a walking contradiction.
You daydream but you’re intensely aware of the world around you. You want to fit in but you break stereotypes. You’re smart but ditzy. You’re scared of demons but not of him.
You become one of his many reasons to stay on this realm.
Demons are possessive beings so if you were a daydreamer who lived inside their own mind constantly, he’d protect them as fiercely as a dragon hoarding its gold.
He would let them daydream, though he wouldn’t let them neglect their duties.
Sometimes, he would ask about your most frequently visited daydreams. He pretends he’s curious, and to a point, he is; but it’s also so that he can memorise your words and use them against you at a later date; to manipulate you into doing his bidding.
“Oh, but imagine how sad you would be to not achieve your goal because you wish to lay in bed watching Netflix all evening! What a waste of talent…”
When he’s in a foul mood, the household staff keep well out of his way. But you don’t. You poke him, prod him with your words, and when he snaps at you, you rise to the challenge as you meet all others.
He doesn’t scare you, he’s not supposed to, but sometimes you get a thrill knowing that this particular type of fire, playing with a demon, doesn’t burn you.
You ignore stereotypes, you go out of your way to spite them, and Sebastian would be endlessly fascinated.
He’d always be watching, listening, studying you until he reaches a point of understanding…
Only for you to do something completely unexpected.
He loves you for the challenges you give him, and you love him for the ones he returns.
It’s, ironically enough, a love made in heaven, consumed by hell… And you both enjoy every moment of it.
does anyone ever do the opposite of dissociate?? where youre just suddenly and uncomfortably aware of your situation and reality
more to the point why do i get that feeling when im sitting on top of my kitchen table watching a velveeta mac and cheese pack spin in the microwave for three and a half minutes and im just like I Exist I Am Here And Theres Nothing I Can Do About It
okay this one wins, everyone can stop reblogging this now
IM LAUGHING SO HARD I DIDNT THINK SEXUAL DESIRE WAS A REAL THING LIKE I ALWAYS SAW PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY WANTED SEX BUT I THOUGHT THEY WERE JOKING OR EXAGGERATING OR SOMETHING THATS WHY IT WAS SO HARD FOR ME TO REALIZE I WAS ACE BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WENT WITHOUT SAYING SEX ISNT THAT IMPORTANT IM 19 YEARS OLD I CANT STOP LAUGHING LITERALLY 99% OF THE POPULATION EXPERIENCES SEXUAL DESIRE AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE
This is pretty much the definition of being an ace person, tbh, and I’m so glad.
this is literally the #that sounds fake but okay meme im dying

Honestly, every single cheating plotline never made sense because “but why do you have to have sex with them? just don’t??”
^^^^ Every single cheating plot line ever I was like: What is so hard about keeping your pants on what is your problem??
…do you have any idea how hard it is to do literary criticism that will get published when your reaction to at least 75% of character motivations is this makes no sense whatsoever why do they even care?
When people ask you why you don’t date someone just to try, and when you answer that well you’re not interested in that person, they explain that usually you don’t like the person at first, but you might fall in love after having dated a little while
and you’re just?????? but what?????????? is the point of dating someone if you don’t like them??????????????
what do you mean the point is making out and sex????????? why would i want to do that with someone i don’t already like?????????
I have literally experienced all of these.
my realizations laid out before me. xD;;;
this is adjacent to the Bi Realization of like “oh my god… there are people who… only like… ONE gender??? like, at all? Ever?!?!!?”
Yeah like I know baby boomers who talk like this and you can kind of just tell they don’t have the words and the self acceptance to realize this sorta thing is what’s happening
The extra twist is growing up in evangelical purity culture, so everybody makes a big deal of abstinence and True Love Waits and everything, and you’re just kind of like “okay, sure, that’s easy, why is everyone acting like it’s hard? anyway abstinence, cool, I’m doing what I’m supposed to, no big.” (Kind of like how “just say NO to drugs” campaigns feel baffling when you’ve never been offered drugs and you’re not interested anyway.) And then you get to college and away from the purity culture echo chamber finally and you’re like “wait. wait. are you telling me sex IS a big deal for people?? it’s not just like…exaggeration in the media and kids rebelling for the sake of rebelling??? wtf???”
and that’s how purity culture can both prevent you from realizing asexuality is a thing AND insulate you from feeling broken about it for a long time, which means you get a whole series of super weird revelations as an adult when you’re finally less sheltered
