Okay so I have this friend who literally believes that killing all men and establishing communism is a good idea and that a majority of tumblr will actually agree with her. Reblog if you think her idea is good, and like if you think her idea is bad (I swear to god I hope you like it) so we can show her how messed up her idea really is
(and maybe then she’ll stop talking about all the time at school)
i stumbled upon a group of old men in their 80s on facebook who post sexual messages to each other on their timelines as well as warnings against the illuminati
Whistleblowing Wednesday: Children As Young As Six Harvest 25 Percent of U.S. Crops
Knowing the farmer who grows your food has become an important tenet of the modern food movement, but precious little attention is paid to the people who actually pick the crops or “process” the chickens or fillet the fish. U Roberto Romano’s poignant film, The Harvest/La Cosecha (2011), being screened across the country for Farmworker Awareness Week (March 24-29), informs us that nearly 500,000 children as young as six harvest up to 25 percent of all crops in the United States.
What’s illegal in most countries is permitted here. Child migrant labor has been documented in the 48 contiguous states. Seasonal work originates in the southernmost states in late winter where it is warm and migrates north as the weather changes. Every few weeks as families move, children leave school and friends behind. If you’ve had onions (Texas), cucumbers (Ohio or Michigan), peppers (Tennessee), grapes (California), mushrooms (Pennsylvania), beets (Minnesota), or cherries (Washington), you’ve probably eaten food harvested by children.
This isn’t a slavery issue, or an immigration issue per se. What’s remarkable is that most of the migrant child farmworkers are American citizens trying to help their families. This is a poverty issue and it gets to the heart of what we, as consumers, see as the “right price” to pay for food.
Children earn about $1,000 per year for working an average of 30 hours a week, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. When you consider that the average annual pay for a migrant family of four is $12,500-$14,500, it’s apparent why some families feel they have no choice but to bring their children into the fields with them. Half of these kids will not graduate from high school because they’re always moving around, perpetuating the cycle of poverty that caused them to be day laborers in the first place.
way to take serious societal issues like racism and cultural appropriation and make them something to laugh at
great job tumblr
yo chill out its all in good fun dont be a little social justice warrior over something this innocent.
trivializing racism is now “innocent” and “in good fun”
Nothing trivializes actual racism more than social justice warriors.
This just in, making someone’s culture into a costume is not “actual racism” according to professional white person objectivistnerd

“You’ve seen horrible things, an army of nightmare creatures. But they are nothing compared to what came before, what lies below. It’s our task to placate the ancient ones, as it’s yours to be offered up to them. Forgive us and let us get it over with.” - The Cabin in the Woods (2012)

mad respect for professors who make study guides
This is in my Economics textbook
This is fucked up
I need a bachelor’s degree to make around the same amount as a male high school grad makes.
If you don’t think that’s unfair I don’t know what to tell you.
This likely doesn’t even take into consideration how race affects these numbers. WOC earn considerably less than white women.
It’s all super fucked up.
